Harvey Keitel, as The Wolf in Pulp Fiction, spoke a fitting and pithy quote about situations such as this one.
I'm just spitballin' here, but my guess is that when Sweden's government asked its citizens to practice social isolation, they probably were pretty unified in doing that.
Doctor Amy Acton mentions every day how hamstrung Ohio currently is in regards to being able to do testing.
Risk is relative -- it's more "higher risk" and "lower risk" than "high/low risk". Just because one group gets hit hard in great numbers doesn't mean that those getting hit hard in lesser numbers in another group are individually unimportant.

Yeah, but if you read the story, you get a bit of a different view than the headline.
wildness...
Sounds like you have plenty of good reasons with this hitting close to home for you. It's ok to feel your feelings. This whole situation is really messed up. I'm at home. We are both working. Kids safe at home. Don't personally know anyone directly affected (yet, knock on wood) but it's a global pandemic. It's turned the world upside down. It's surreal. No right or wrong way to react right now other than we have to try be patient with each other. Sounds like your boss needs to open their eyes to reality.
Only an idiot sits in a burning house and thinks that everything is fine because fruit is sweet.
All in all, not a good day per covid worldometers. Total cases approaching 80,000 for the day after about 70K yesterday. Deaths today climbed over 7,000 (vs 5K+ yesterday). France, with some more catch-up reporting?, has passed Germany in cases.
So unemployment numbers represent folks who could have jobs but dont want the ones available?He said no one will do manual labor anymore. He can not find domestic workers.This is so confusing to me
We have record unemployment yet we cant find workers
My primary care doc is kinda hot. So, I brushed my hair for the first time in a couple weeks for my telemedicine appointment this afternoon.
It’s starting to become real and I think we’re all coming to grips with the possibility that this could be our “Rome is burning@ moment.
70 and upwards of 90hrs/week here in Niagara. No joke. These workers deserve every penny and loads more.
Seems like workers probably could get better hours if the choice is no workers vs workers at reduced hours.
well, these foreign workers WANT the hours.... i mean, im sure theyd prefer 40 over 80, but they get paid for 80... and they return home and live like absolute KINGS.
Hang in there, Buddy. Lots of this doesn't make sense. I think we all go through up and down cycles on this. Sometimes it's not easy to point to exact things. Keep working through.top dog said:
We've tested 0.6% of our population in the US. We've tested over 2M people. Only Italy, Spain, and Germany have tested a higher percentage of their population, and no other country has performed more than 918k tests(Germany). Even in America, with perhaps a million tests being currently available, we're not testing mild to moderate cases in many areas yet. I don't think we'll ever get a handle on the real numbers until antibody testing is rolled out in force.tri-man 47 said:
Crud. I got fooled. Was so stoked to see some place finally start real sampling that I took only a superficial look.shader said:
This has been my MO for the past month. I can't say how grateful I have been to this thread for opening my eyes to this months ago. I've been on top of this for a long time. We are stocked up on necessities, cleaning supplies, etc. The wife and I have had some great conversations that wouldn't have been had in normal busy times.. Tried to focus on the positives.. Been extremely happy with our states response to this and all that. But damn some of this is taxing. I've been fighting with my employer for a month on the proper approach to this. At this point I've lost all faith in our company's leadership and I've been with this company since 1996. Thought the company was different. My oldest daughter is now unemployed, but hanging in there taking care of my father who is 85 and stubborn as hell. Felt the need to go shopping the other morning before she got up. Came home with soda and chips! Can't say I totally blame him. His wife has been dead since 2004, he's beaten a heart attack many years ago and two bouts with cancer. His back is horrible and he is in constant pain from it. Not sure I'd just sit around doing nothing at that point. My oldest son is stationed in the middle east and may not come home when they planned. Talk of extending their deployment stateside to help if things get much worse. My youngest son works at Walmart in grocery. He gets beat up every day he goes in and I have to give him the pep talk how he truly IS one of the essential ones out there. That he is young, in shape, never smoked... That he needs to be there to help the rest of us. I've worked hard to keep my wife's head above water and out of her feelings through all of that as well.
I don’t think so. Think he is saying that to avoid a huge resurgence very quickly we can’t open it up to everyone At once. First let’s get out folks who have immunity, then next batch will be low risk folks and then high risk.
