So, my company called me 20 minutes ago and told me to take the whole week off. Just now she called again and told me I need to come in tomorrow. She apologized for the confusion and said we are discussing with our line of business tomorrow what the next steps are.
Uggggg I don't like being told I can stay home then they take it back. Kinda don't wanna go in anyways.

I have to admit that I haven't been taking social distancing as seriously as I should. It's time.
Strangely, it’s also a moment in which our usual individualistic, self-centered outlook is waning a bit. In the end, each of us is giving up our individual freedom in order to protect everybody, especially the sick and the elderly. When everybody’s health is at stake, true freedom is to follow instructions....
An anesthesiologist at a hospital in Bergamo, one of the cities with the most cases of Covid-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, told the paper that the intensive care unit was already at capacity, and doctors were being forced to start making difficult triage decisions, admitting people who desperately need mechanical ventilation based on age, life expectancy, and other factors. Just like in wartime. The article was inexplicably placed on page 15, while the main headline on the newspaper’s front page relayed the political quarrels over the measures to curb the contagion.
The hospital in Bergamo was not the only hospital in the area dealing with a lack of capacity and rationing of care. The same day, I heard from a manager in the Lombardy health care system, among the most advanced and well-funded in Europe, that he saw anesthesiologists weeping in the hospital hallways because of the choices they are going to have to make...
The inability of the medical system to deal with the flow of patients in critical condition is not one of the problems of this complex medical emergency. It is the problem. I shouldn’t have been surprised. As a journalist, I had read, heard, and spoken to several experts explaining that the most immediate threat of Covid-19 was the hospital system becoming overwhelmed, and therefore the most pressing need was to avoid too many people getting sick at the same time, as resources are limited. (It’s what’s called “flattening the curve.”)
But that information was somehow stored in some remote interstice of my mind, covered by an incessant flow of bits and charts on the mortality rate of the elderly, political mismanagement, quarrels over under-testing and over-testing, market collapses, projections on the economic impact of the epidemic, and so on. All of this is, of course, extremely relevant — but at the same time feels totally irrelevant when lives are being lost in a situation that was preventable. As of Friday night, 1,266 people have died in Italy due to the outbreak.
So here’s my warning for the United States: It didn’t have to come to this...
According to several data scientists, Italy is about 10 days ahead of Spain, Germany, and France in the epidemic progression, and 13 to 16 days ahead of the United Kingdom and the United States. That means those countries have the opportunity to take measures that today may look excessive and disproportionate, yet from the future, where I am now, are perfectly rational in order to avoid a health care system collapse. The United States has some 45,000 ICU beds, and even in a moderate outbreak scenario, some 200,000 Americans will need intensive care....

Weren’t you on here two days ago talking about how awesome the US healthcare system is?
It's not a matter of the healthcare system it's a matter of the supply chain. Hospitals order a specific amount of PPE anticipating a specific patient load. Right now every single COV19 rule out case requires us to use enhanced droplet precautions which requires *Gloves • Gown • Procedure or surgical mask/N95 respirator • Face shield or safety glasses or goggles
The masks and face shields are have just been getting used up too quickly. There's more on the way but in the meantime, PPE protocols about reuse and sharing are being violated left and right. It's unsafe for the workers and for the patients. I'm not saying it's the public's responsibility to donate supplies to the hospital, but I certainly hope the hospitals don't run into issues getting supplies because members of the public are hoarding them.

As human cases rise in a mysterious viral outbreak that originated in China, scientists are rushing to identify the animals, where they suspect the epidemic began. In a controversial study published last night, a team of researchers in China claimed to have an answer: snakes.
But other scientists say there is no proof that viruses such as those behind the outbreak can infect species other than mammals and birds. “Nothing supports snakes being involved,” says David Robertson, a virologist at the University of Glasgow, UK.
Quote:
“They have no evidence snakes can be infected by this new coronavirus and serve as a host for it,” says Paulo Eduardo Brandão, a virologist at the University of São Paulo who is investigating whether coronaviruses can infect snakes at all. “There’s no consistent evidence of coronaviruses in hosts other than mammals and Aves (birds).”

By the way, here, if you're sick and you go the ER, you will not necessarily get a test. if you are only mildly to moderately sick they'll send you home and tell you to stay there until 2 weeks after your symptoms disappear. everyone who has cough and fever is basically just being told to assume and behave as if they have COVID. but yes if you're severely sick you'll be admitted and you'll receive good care

Basically don't go to the hospital unless you are very sick
If you don't have it you can pick it up there and the health system doesn't need extra load right now.
Edit: as far as cold and flu symptoms go. Obviously other things like chest pain can be different. Er on the side of caution if you're at risk for heart disease.

Symptoms are different than they are for a cold. If you're producing sputum then it's probably not covid. Fever, dry cough and shortness of breath are supposed to be the most common symptoms. Even with mild cases it's still supposed to be likely to present as pneumonia though.

Mild doesn’t mean “oh I’ll barely be bothered by this. Just a tickle in the throat.” Mild means you don’t have to go the ER, or get admitted to hospital. People who are bed ridden are considered mild.

I just remembered this.
In 1994 we had a crossover virus from fruit bats to horses to humans.
Quote:
Hendra virus was discovered following an outbreak of illness in horses in a large racing stable in the suburb of Hendra, Brisbane in 1994.
We get these things in plague proportions, there would be, no joke, 100 000 fruit bats roosting about 300mtrs from my place, and they fucking stink the filthy things. The bats carry the virus but it doesn't affect them. It almost shut down the horse racing industry, the only reason it didn't was because it isn't highly contagious, however it's lethal AF. Mortality rate of 80% with horses. The humans who caught it were caring for the sick horses. 7 people caught it 4 died. No known treatment.
Quote:
While the exact route of infection is unknown, it is thought that horses may contract Hendra virus infection from sniffing or eating matter recently contaminated with flying fox urine, saliva or birth products.
