@schindy: Tony Boselli spent 6 days in Mayo Clinic's ICU, requiring two IVs & oxygen. "For whatever reason, [COVID-19] buried me," Boselli said. @FCN2go https://twitter.com/genefrenette/status/1245799828233293825
I believe they do but the virus was kept under wraps for so long that by the time their citizens were aware, a lot of the damage was already done. But they certainly cycled through the crisis quicker than we're on track to. And I gotta believe some of that was the use of masks.Doesn’t just about everyone in China wear a mask?
Im asking because I really don’t know
But did they even have a reason to leave the house? It's the Czech Republic.I believe they do but the virus was kept under wraps for so long that by the time their citizens were aware, a lot of the damage was already done.

Protection starts with anything that prevents you from touching your mouth or nose with your hands. A basic mask also greatly cuts down on the chances of an airborne droplet landing in either of those covered places.What kind of mask can you make at home that protects you?
Other than being aware of who is in my personal space, rush hour and no bars my entire life is normal. Still going to work, no rush hours. Stop to get groceries on the way home wherever the wife asks. Dont mind staying home to drink and eat.Our home life is absolutely "normal" in that we aren't behaving any differently once home (washing hands more than normal, etc). Same when relaxing in the yard, grilling, etc.
Hes probably in tight with the ChinesePatriots went through a lot of red tape and brought 1.2 million masks from China. Robert Kraft sent a crew to China on his plane.
thisMannnnn... dag'gum Guvmint ain't tellin me what ta do. I ain't wearin no mask... just like I ain't wearin no motorbike helmet. I ain't no #####."
sounds solidI just received the following text from someone who works in the federal government and has connections. No clue how reliable it will ultimately be, but she’s trustworthy:
The President will announce a national quarantine in 72 hours for two weeks. All businesses will close and the national guard will be dispatched. Get groceries.
Been thinking about that Fauci line “data trumps models”Looking at Italy it appears cases plateau. I had hoped with all measures in place there the case numbers would be decreasing but they are holding steady (though below the peak).
Highly doubt it. You can't even get the idiot states to issue stay at home korder. I can see more essential businesses becoming non essential though. Just saw an ad for a flooring store still open for business. I'm sure the floors can wait.I just received the following text from someone who works in the federal government and has connections.

pretty much the same exact routine. 3+ weeks of not leaving our yard except for walks or bike rides.We're lucky in that both our jobs seem pretty stable. We both enjoy our jobs and can work very effectively remotely, possibly more so. We're saving a good bit of cash through this.
Overall it's been pretty easy, honestly. It's like a mini vacation, I miss sports, hitting bars with my buddies, cookouts, Hitting the casino, going out to eat. I have several group text threads with various circles of close friends that are very active and filling some of that social gap.
That said it's really not a huge sacrifice to do our part to help stop this.
To get some of their awesome beer. And to see their women.But did they even have a reason to leave the house? It's the Czech Republic.

I used the Target app for the first time a few days ago, and it worked great. I put in the order the night before and got a message the next morning that it was ready whenever I wanted to pick it up. I let them know I was on my way by hitting a button, hit another button when I got there, barcode popped up on phone, guy was out in two minutes, he scanned the barcode, and I grabbed the bags from the cart.How are you guys doing Instacart or Publix, Target, Walmart curbside? Phone app or regular website?
I tend to trust the current China numbers on new cases, etc. but they clearly lied about when it started and have hidden total death/cases.Been thinking about that Fauci line “data trumps models”
The problem is, we don’t really KNOW what data is good. Most people don’t believe China’s numbers (I do, but I understand why many don’t)
Can we really look at Italy and “assume” cases will plateau at their rate? How different are their quarantine measures? What if they’ve been hiding cases or deaths? What if their testing is inadequate?
Look at France, they decide to let the world know today about another 1,000 deaths that they want to report because they’ve changed the way they report things.
There are a lot of things we don’t know right now, because the data isn’t good. When you feed average data into models, you can’t live by those models.
What we do know is that strict quarantines and isolation of patients work. We know that social distancing helps.
We have no proof that social distancing will fix the problem, but we are buying time and hoping for medical advances.
But I have to say, I’m pretty pessimistic about the chances of this thing going away anytime in the next year. Even South Korea and Japan are starting to struggle with it and they have a compliant population.
I hope you guys enjoy your homes!
yes, my wife took an old, thick t shirt, cut it up, and sewed pieces on one to better protect mouth and nose.Is it cool to wear a bandana around your face like an outlaw?
Asking for a friend.
Imagine if masks or bandanas become required how long it would take to get everyone to comply. We don't have every state doing the stay at home yet. You can force employees or go home, but not the general public.I went grocery shopping for the first time in about 3 weeks today. Spent about an hour (mainly because I have no ####### clue how to navigate Wegmans) to load up my cart. It was fairly crowded and I would say maybe 20% of the people were wearing a mask. Didn’t look like any of the cashiers had a mask.
It was my first time out (other than running/going for walks) in 3 weeks. Completely surreal experience for me. Yes it’s going to take time for people to adapt.Imagine if masks or bandanas become required how long it would take to get everyone to comply. We don't have every state doing the stay at home yet.

hell yeah thats cool its steve mcqueen cool and thats high praise take that to the bank desparigoIs it cool to wear a bandana around your face like an outlaw?

Some people don't like coverings, especially in warmer weather. Just saying that if social distancing is hard for some to do that this will be the same type of thing.Should not be a problem. Most people have a old t-shirt they can cut up.
Japan, Hong Kong, & ROK have seen their numbers go up this week, just when it looked like they were doing great.Been thinking about that Fauci line “data trumps models”

Put a Target order in this morning and picked it up 4 hours later. Worked great. Tried Prime but there weren’t any delivery windows open.I used the Target app for the first time a few days ago, and it worked great.

We don't know enough about the immunologic response to this virus to know for sure, but in general, developing more severe symptoms of an infection doesn't correlate with more robust immunity to reinfection, and vice versa.On a sort of related note, I'd like to know if being exposed to a small viral load and getting an asymptomatic or mild version generates enough antibodies to then be as immune to further infection as someone who has more major symptoms.
Where is MN on the curve? Maybe they'll open up state by state as places like NY who is the closest to reaching their apex.Announced no summer sports in Minneapolis and beaches/pools closed the whole summer. I dunno, seems maybe a hair early for that?
my awesome wife made us custom masks, with a pocket for a reusable filter of some sort. mine is black with all different color chili peppers on it. we are deliberating on what sort of filter to use. that looks cool. hepa vacuum bag is a possibility. in a pinch, any very thin hepa filter would probably work.Would an electrostatic cotton filter sheet like this work if run as a layer in a homemade mask?
Maybe slid into a cloth pouch?

I would have but wasn’t there. My daughter froze out of sheer embarrassment. It’s over. Bigger fish to fryCouldn't you have told the gal that you were unaware of the limit, you'd be happy to comply, but that there is no reason at all to speak to another person like that?
OMG. I’m in Eden Prairie office often. Can’t imagine taking summer away for those folks who have been hunkered down for the winter. RoughAnnounced no summer sports in Minneapolis and beaches/pools closed the whole summer. I dunno, seems maybe a hair early for that?

Good reason to double check packaging. EwAnother one I hope goes away for a long time. Food tampering

Me today on a walk, trying to learn the best fit and failing (see: glasses, foggy).
I don't intend to wear this every time I go out for a walk unless otherwise recommended. It was "practice."
