I am guessing there will be an assortment of St Patrick's Day shirts, some "As Seen on Tv items" and maybe Easter baskets. Can you exist on Peeps?

I feel bad about my local restaurants but I don't think I am ordering in any food. No matter how much I was my hands, I still have to put the food in my mouth.

Open till 1, headed in now. I was in a dark room on laptop And half expected to pass gangs in the streets on the way here.
Surprisingly quiet and full of food

Keep seeing the suggestion to buy gift cards from your local restaurants as a way to "loan" them some money during this tough time. Plan on stopping at a few this week to do just that.

Those pictures at the bars and those of the kids on spring break in TX and FL are necessitating the mandatory 2 week quarantine that is heavily rumored. People wouldn’t listen.

There’s no specific treatment for this, so all the standard symptom meds are fine. But realize there isn’t good data or scientific plausibility for any specific regimen.
I’d use acetaminophen for fever. Ibuprofen for muscle aches.
Keep hydrated with water/soups.
Lay off the booze. Don’t smoke or vape.
Guaifenesin, dextromethorphan, etc. are all fine for cough. Probably no need for decongestants like pseudoephedrine.
Allergy meds (antihistamines) not likely to be helpful.
If you’re old or have chronic medical problems including high blood pressure, ulcers, liver or kidney disease, run it by your doctor first.

The heart aspect of it?I think this post is the first thing about this virus that legit scared me
The rest of it is sadly fully predictable of what will happen when a hospital is overrun with seriously ill patients.

You are ridiculous. Not that you are wrong but just that you don't care about anything other than money. No advice to give you, sorry that your life is so bad.

Same here but I have a feeling they're trying to get as many loans funded as possible (I'm a loan officer) before it becomes practically impossible due to everything closing.

My wife’s bank in NYC mandated that 50% of employees had to be onsite after they had about 10% show up on Friday. Asinine.
Take this for what it’s worth, as its second hand from a military contact. But I’m hearing that sometime in the next 48-72 hours there exists a very credible possibility that Trump issues a mandatory two week nationwide quarantine.
With how this is trending, I tend to believe it. Regardless, I’d be sure you’ve got on hand whatever you need for two weeks just to be safe (most probably do at this stage).

The inhaler is probably albuterol. Need to read about the French justification for no NSAIDS, but agree to preferentially use acetaminophen for fever. Non-prescription sleep aids, with the exception of melatonin, stink.

Hard one to wrap around, just shot up to worst poster on the board, not that he hadn't been trending that way for a long time

Friend of mine just told me about a coworker whose husband went to Italy for a ski trip. He and his 9 friends all caught it and all died.
Banks love to rely on temporary workers to fulfill their mortgages and seem quite overwhelmed right now.

What would this accomplish? Being out late makes you less likely to interact with others.

Pretty sure it's to keep drunk idiots from ending up in ER's when hospitals are going to be maxed out pretty soon,
We have an adjacent department that decided to do a 50% scheme, but they rotate every day. Like COVID-19 doesn't stay on surfaces.

That's a risk I'm willing to take. They would all be restaurants I've ate at countless times over the years and I'm glad to help in any way I can.

This seems so outrageous that it has gotta be fake, right?
If real, holy #### though

Great suggestion for rewarding the ones that you feel are handling this the right way, too.

12 hours ago, the schools there were still set to be open tomorrow morning. Things change quick.

I'm not mad. Just sad for the people who need masks that don't have them.Classy.Sorry you're mad.
If you're concerned about her and you believe what you posted here previously (which Im not disagreeing with) about masks, then dole some out and she'll likely be fine.

She was making the week vs rotate every day for her department and I told her to do week. I also told her to take the first week, but walk to work, take food in, and not go to any meetings.We have an adjacent department that decided to do a 50% scheme, but they rotate every day. Like COVID-19 doesn't stay on surfaces.

More like travel restrictions than time of day curfew. Only out on the street for work, grocery, or medicine. No unneccessary travel.

Honestly I don't see how it solves the problem if everyone is not spending real money when they do open back up. Just kicks the problem down the road. Maybe a huge tip to the workers now is the best help.Or the owner pockets it while not distributing to the bartenders/waiters we rely on

Driving my wife into work tomorrow. She's the CFO and will probably be formulating plans with the boss and gathering her things to WFH. She fully expects to be closing the door behind her and never coming back. Even if this gets better in a couple of months, she doesn't think they'll recover.

I have a very reasonable personal supply of masks that isn't even close to what you threw out there. I purchased them before the run on them, and didn't "Clear the shelves". I feel zero guilt for protecting my family.
She carries a mask with her daily and it's her choice when she wants to start wearing one.

But if they brag about how they can work remotely and have invested in it but won't employ it now, what was the point?
