Coronavirus may cause pink eye — but it’s rare If you see someone with pink eye, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean that person is infected with coronavirus. But health officials believe viral pink eye, or conjunctivitis, develops in about 1% to 3% of people with coronavirus. The virus can spread by touching discharge from an infected person’s eyes.
I wonder...

Where to start?
Perhaps some local acknowledgements are in order...
Good on all of you for participating in this important discussion and remaining civil, despite differences. Some of you are doing even more than that, by risking your own health to aid others in dire need.
Much respect and admiration is due to you...
I have no supplies to share with our at risk front line medical personnel who are apparently becoming depleted, not only of PPE but also manpower, beds, ventilators, etc...but hopefully the world soon recognizes that keeping this demographic safe is the utmost of priorities and reacts accordingly.
..............................................................................................................................................
I think it is worthwhile to share a personal update in these circumstances....
I am located in Santa Rosa, CA.
I work for an established restaurant here. In the last week we saw our customer visits and therefore our sales plummet. I had been expecting it, but a few hours after my shift yesterday (3/15) I received a call from the owner informing me I was laid off for now and thanking me for my hard work. We have <50 employees, no health, no paid sick, etc... They are planning on staying open this coming week, for brunch shift only and without any support staff (bussers, hosts, food runners)- servers only and probably 2 per shift at that. We normally run 4 people on weekdays and 7-8 on weekends. I doubt that even the next week is sustainable. I have friends in the service industry around the area and I can verify that there are multiple breweries, taprooms, restaurants, hotels, etc who will not be opening tomorrow. Our understanding is that Gov. Newsom, along with his counterparts at the local, state and federal levels around this country are trying to jump in front of St. Patrick's day activities, considering what added spread those (or any) large gatherings would entail. Not that it may matter that much now, because we are so far behind the curve, confirmed case wise, that we have little actual evidence about what's really happening.
I can also personally testify that many people are mildly sick all around here. Dry coughs, fevers, shortness of breath, you name it. I have witnessed many people exhibiting wholly inadequate hygienic practices and being clearly ill in public spaces. Not to mention the rampant homelessness here, which will certainly exacerbate the spread and fatality rate. I likely have it, and unless you've been in a bubble for the last month or more than you likely have it as well or will soon. No symptoms for me yet but it won't be a shock if or rather when they do present.

Sore throat is the worst. Can barely swallow.
Could be but honestly doesn’t sound like it

Yeah pink eye is more than eye boogies. It is uncomfortable with a scratchy feeling on the eyelids, you get extremely bloodshot and maybe light sensitivity.
I got viral pink eye at a water park a few years ago

Oh I surprisingly did not have a lot of crusty eye boogers with this viral infection. When I had bacterial pink eye, I did.

yeah I am not saying it is, but just haven't had this kind of illness before. Also the fact that I was in NYC two weeks ago and there's been confirmed cases in my county has me raising an eyebrow.
Waiting on a call back from the Dr. I'm sure it will just be to tell me to self quarantine

So there’s some data showing that the use of NSAIDS like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen to reduce fever can worsen your prognosis. Apparently Tylenol is ok.

Does Tylenol even reduce fever? I thought all it did was poison opiates so you cant take a bunch

It’s not related to the fever reducing properties.

Nothing advising employees to not come to work if they feel ill or have any contact with infected people
I just don’t get why they can’t get their act together

We're supposed to get big news from the Trudeau today. I'm guessing it's about sick leave protection and banning gatherings of a certain size

Yeah with many cities moving towards closing everything -- even restuarants (to go orders only), bars, gyms, etc -- we are definitely moving towards that direction for sure.

I think I'm going to do one of those drive up tests. Called my Dr. and the nurse gave me an address phone number to call when I get there so they can come out and do "intake" so I don't know if that means testing or not. Maybe the'll rule it out without a test.
