I think anyone who goes and gets food from a fast food restaurant is kinda nuts. Nearly none of the fast food joints offer their employees paid sick leave. They also make peanuts and are typically living paycheck to paycheck. All sorts of sick people are going to be preparing your food
In his defense, he didn't know the girl's husband tested positive or went to Milan before agreeing to go to the movies. Also, do you know for sure she was in contact with the husband? Maybe he was positive and went straight to quarantine away from her?
It is what it is . . . I was just replying to someone else who was depressed about Little League games being cancelled.
Brave volunteer, imo. Being the "first" for a vaccine test, let alone a rushed one... many of us wouldn't sign up for that.
I get it. It is disappointing. My cousin coaches a HS BB team and he felt he had a legit shot at a state title. Everyone is in the same boat.
Maybe you could share some of the stuff we've had here? Especially the WaPo visualization about staying home and how that will benefit everyone? Also, he should self-quarantine for at least 10 days now.

That gif was inspired by the Washington Post's Coronavirus simulator, which simulates several different methods of trying to contain the virus.
why do you think 0.001% chance for my worst case? I gave you my numbers I used to estimate 11M+ dead Americans:
Yea I think all spring sports for schools might be cancelled. Right now they're just postponed until 4/1. I think that will be longer though.
Sorry - just getting to this. Nothing earth shattering but he was just reiterating that people need to essentially quarantine themselves if they have the option. Anything that is not required should be eliminated for now. No going to dinner, no going to other peoples houses, no play dates, etc. It's just not worth it and every little bit does help some. If we can get people to just do this it will help - we'll probably never know how much but it will undeniably help.moleculo said:
They also have no problem skipping work when they are sick or not sick on a very regular basis. I would be far more worried about a place that the employees rely on tips.
Keytruda is not an antiviral nor is it used for HIV.Waingro said:
I used to be involved in the daycare business and still know some people in it, including an in-law that operates a 200+ child facility. They got a directive from the state DHS yesterday saying they are "...committed to helping keep child care programs open during this time of crisis. Child care is a vital resource for many of our first responders who are actively assisting our friends, family, and neighbors."Big League Chew said:
It's also how many for profit players exist in the system. There's no profit in producing tests.

Can you post a link please?
I think it fair to be skeptical.
Definitely fair.
So you don't believe that they are using Keytruda as an emergency experimental treatment based on phase 1 trial results in HIV patients with cancer and that this guy that works in a city that has only had a few cases can be relied on to give all of these sweeping generalizations???
My daughter's junior prom will almost certainly be cancelled. I don't think she's realized that yet...
They are a mess. We got 5x as many people. If we were in as bad a shape as them, I would think we would have passed them right up by now in 'serious or worse' cases.
I bought store cut/packaged fruit yesterday without it occurring to me until the check-out line. Went ahead and bought it.Doug B said:
Starting this by saying the deaths are awful and I feel terrible for them and their families. But just wanted to point out that, and I mean this with all the compassion possible by saying this, deaths are a lagging indicator while new cases are a leading indicator. If this new case 3 day trend in Italy holds, it does seem to appear that they may have stemmed the tide of exponential growth. Those 3 numbers are fairly level. I want to end this by reiterating how awful the deaths are but that there may be a favorable trend in new cases there.
new cases are lagging too...I remember reading an article wher eit took about a week for shutting everything down in Wuhan to show up in a decrease in new cases... i.e. it takes about a week or more for infections to present themselves to the point where the pserson needs checked out from the time they are initially infected.
It's not used to treat HIV infection itself. But there have been recent trials (some still ongoing) in using Keytruda (pembrolizumab) as an immunotherapy agent for HIV patients presenting with malignancies that have been resistant to other treatments.
Those can be difficult I'm sure. I guess the other big part of the equation is how possible is they can be productive in working from home? That kind of thing factors in too as you well know. Best to you there in trying to manage. I know you're doing your best there. Hang in there.
That’s true, probably should have said new cases are “more of a leading indicator”, technically speaking they are a lagging indicator by definition. IIRC, I believe Italy instituted their full quarantine around a week or so ago. So having said that, to your point, it would seem that around a week later cases would level off, which appears to hopefully be the case in Italy now. I’m certainly no expert in anything BTW, but given what countries have done to help stem the tide on this, we really need to be extreme with our social distancing to the point where we are all basically self quarantinning. For the good of everyone.
