COVID

[Darman]

The Northeast is a bit of a mixed bag, some states are sheltering in place and others aren't. Rhode Island isn't (yet). But all the restaurants have been take out/delivery only for a week now, and over the weekend the governor allowed to-go wine and beer sales. That's how bad it's getting here, for the governor to relax that regulation.

It seems Agrival is down with a mild case...  And he's the most healthy in the House of Chaos (except his spinal injuries).

[Darman]

I will add that as of today the Rhode Island National Guard is now patrolling our southern border to prevent an influx of refugees from NYC *facepalm*  all they are doing is taking down contact information and will apparently attempt to enforce self-quarantines upon everyone entering the state.....

That's not good to hear.  Hopefully it's a mild case and the rest of you avoid it.

[maddox]

He's recovering.  But no test possible atm, he wasn't sick enough, and a test is too expensive for our gouv'ment.

So I don't know Phoenix or me are contaminated.

[The Rock Doctor]

At least he's recovering. Hopefully the two of you don't catch it.

[maddox]

Or if we did catch it, we're with the 70% group without symptomes.

You have the knowledge you could be carriers, so you can take precautions,
but not having symptoms or suffering is great.

[maddox]

Dust masks, nitrile gloves, IPA 70% desinfectant spray. I worked in a pharmaceutical company and know the drill.

If worst comes to worst, I do have a hazmat outfit too (yep, had a stint in chemical an nuclear plants.)

[The Rock Doctor]

The Mrs. and I are both dealing with something.  She thinks it's allergies, I think it's a cold based on what seems like standard cold symptom progression.  We've been cautious enough that I don't think it is COVID. We'll see.

[Jefgte]

...She thinks it's allergies...

Allergies to spring pollen.

[The Rock Doctor]

It happens, but my throat is sore and that's not an allergic response for me.  That's an incoming cold, usually.

Glad we stocked up on the Neo Citran drinks.

[Desertfox]

Sore throat most likely means cold, Ive had two already in the past two months (wife had one) and a bout of pink eye, even with social distancing...

Allergies has had me down frequently in the last month or so, but I thought I felt an oncoming sore throat the other day but it never developed, so I'm holding out hope.  Literally the only people I see are my father and my 2 roommates (I dont count the 4 times I've been to the store). 

[The Rock Doctor]

Feeling really shitty today, but it seems like a throat infection rather than the C-word.
