Yes, my friend shared with me his sister (who is a nurse) posted a pic of her and friends at a bar and she got a lot of negative comments on it.

I agree with you that an absolute 100% shutdown of everything can't realistically happen. I do think, though, that a lot of people are going to get hurt at this point no matter what -- the path to a soft landing is no longer passable.

THIS is the problem with the federal leadership on this. Make a statement about how social distancing is the American thing to do and that EACH of us has a part to play. If you can wfh, do it - America thanks you. If you can't work from home, take as many precautions as you can - America depends on you and America thanks you. If you can reduce your Covid footprint by 60% - awesome, America appreciates it........

Shotgun marriage
One purpose of such a wedding can be to get recourse from the man for the act of impregnation; another reason is trying to ensure that the child is raised by both parents. In some cases, as in early America and in the Middle East, a major objective was the restoring of social honour to the mother. The practice is a loophole method of preventing the birth of legally illegitimate children, or if the marriage occurs early enough, to conceal the fact that conception occurred prior to marriage. In some societies the stigma attached to pregnancy out of wedlock can be enormous, and coercive means (in spite of the legal defense of undue influence) for gaining recourse are often seen as the prospective father-in-law's "right", and an important, albeit unconventional, coming of age event for the young father-to-be.

I am pretty frustrated with everything right now. I am most annoyed that the group that is most at risk seems to be out and about in full force.

Unfortunately I agree with you there as well. We missed our window to do what S. Korea did and Germany appears to be doing. We had a one month head start on them and we blew it. This is gonna result in both alot of unnecessary deaths AND a recession. Ungood.

Just got back from the doctor with Mrs. SF. She had been complaining of flu like symptoms since Thursday...Fever had gone down, but she was complaining of a tightness in her chest, and shortness of breath.
It was kind of a bizarre procedure - She had called her primary first just to see what to do, and they had her come in to their clinic. We had to call into the clinic when we physically got there, and remain in the car until they had a room available. Eventually we get our masks and led back to the room.
They don't have Covid-19 tests, and the doctor's group that run the Lexington Clinic offices have a protocol to rule out Flu and Strep. Both of those tests came back negative for Mrs. SF.
So, they said, she is presumed positive for covid19, but not enough to get a test (which is in short-supply). She was ordered to self-isolate for 14 days, she got an inhaler and some kind of mucinex. If it get worse, we have to go to the ER, but call ahead, so they can have an isolation room ready. Hopefully it does not come to that!

My doctor -- who is also a personal friend -- was a guest speaker at church today (live-streaming for me). Stupidly, what you described is exactly what is happening my community. Specifically drive-up testing, but literally almost nobody is being tested for covid. It's all influenza testing, with negative results implying covid. So dumb.

As the doctor was going over some of the restrictions, she mentioned pets, and the need to stay away - not because they can catch, but anything that gets caught in their fur might be transferred.
I took that moment to break out the "WHO let the dogs out" joke that was posted in one of these thread... she was not as amused as I. Long day I suppose

Some news from Miami:
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241208661.html
The rabbi of one of the largest Orthodox synagogues in Miami-Dade County, Shul of Bal Harbour, has tested presumptive positive for COVID-19, according to a statement Sunday morning from Bal Harbour Mayor Gabriel Groisman.
Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar, the founder and spiritual leader of the synagogue on Collins Ave. in Surfside, told Groisman late Saturday night that he was “exhibiting mild symptoms and is self-isolating at this time.”
“The Rabbi is doing well and is self-isolating at this time,” Groisman said. “We urge the greater Bal Harbour community to continue to act responsibly and with great care during these trying times.”

"Despite a positive COVID-19 test from a passenger who had disembarked days earlier, thousands of people were allowed to leave a cruise ship in Miami Sunday without undergoing medical screening." There are 2 more cruise ships arriving in Florida, Tuesday.

The group that is most at risk is also most likely to be getting their info from sketchy sources comparing it to the flu.
That's as non-political as I can think to state that.

Just as another aside - She gets the 14-day self-isolation order, and not to return to work until Department of Health contacts her.
Doctor straight up said, "Don't worry about the Department of Health, they will not be contacting you, they are already overwhelmed. You are free to return to work if you are symptom free in 14 days."
If they are overwhelmed now - I truly hate to see what its like in a couple of weeks.

Probably a good thing. Would have been good before all those pictures of douches* in Wrigleyville celebrating St. Patty's day. I think Ohio is out front on this? No clue who their governor is, but he/she has got to be setting themselves up for a higher office. They remind me of this, and they've got my vote.
*and I mean that. Ban me if you want. I'm as millennial as the next early 30s bro. But if you're posting pictures of yourself at a bar with the squad you aren't cool, you're just an #######.

I appreciate all the sentiments - I don't think its that big a deal. My wife is in reasonably good health, and she already feels better than she did on Friday - so I am not worried. Our younger daughter was a little freaked out - but she is the smart one in the family, she'll figure out this is not really that bad.
I think the only reason my wife wanted to get checked out is that she works in the healthcare industry (hospice), and while she does not see patients, she manages a lot of staff who are in hospitals/nursing homes - and she was in all 3 of the major hospitals here in the last 10 days.
She will be able to work from home just fine - but wanted to make sure her staff was safe.

I had a trip planned next week to Park City, but cancelled. They announced all resorts owned by Vail, including PC, would be shut down for 7 days yesterday.
Considering the ski season is almost over in many places already, they should just close until summer IMO.

They sent you home with shortness of breath. That doesn't seem right. Maybe call ER for their advice? Hope she feels better soon!

In CA:
"Bars, nightclubs, wineries and brew pubs across California have been ordered to close Sunday, while all seniors have been ordered to isolate at home as health officials seek to limit the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus.
At an afternoon press conference, Newsom announced the state now had a total of 335 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus, along with six deaths.
Newsom said while bars and wineries and the like would be closed, restaurants will be allowed to continue serving customers, but at half capacity in order to allow space for social distancing."

Pretty sure he wont waive healthcare if he gets it. The point wasnt that he was eating donuts or drinking whiskey. It is the fact that he was out just to get some non essential stuff and he would be the first jerk in a hospital bed overwhelming our system.
