This may be old news by now (reported earlier today), but Rand Paul becomes first senator known to test positive for coronavirus.
I couldn't find a thread where this belonged, so I started a new thread for coronavirus chat.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Now comes a tough question some of us may soon face. Get help for COVID-19, or stay at home?
Total Cost of Her COVID-19 Treatment: $34,927.43

Like 27 million other Americans, Askini was uninsured when she first entered the hospital. She and her husband had been planning to move to Washington, D.C. this month so she could take a new job, but she hadn’t started yet.

From what I hear unless you live in New York you still can’t
Have you made it through the eight day window? This is the scariest part of this infection. People feel like they’re getting better then after a week the pneumonia hits.

I'm going to try to avoid the hospital so I don't take up space for more fragile people. I know illness can make anyone fragile, though.
The legal crackdown makes me nervous. For The most part I see the disease bringing out the best in people.

Don’t worry , Rand Paul’s father , Dr Ron , just wrote an article called the corona virus hoax , and it explains how the death rate is the same or lower than the seasonal flu . You’ll be just fine .

It is nice to see when people are willing to look out for each other.
It's also got people ready to shoot each other over nothing though. Protecting your family is fine, everyone needs to, but if you're on instagram flaunting your guns right now that sends a message about how you feel about your community.
Drop the fear and help your neighbors.

Thank you Ghina. Does anyone have a source regarding covid virus infected animals? I would like to see evidence of the transmission from animal to humans.

When my wife still had class, she said one of her classmates said Covid 19 was contracted from bat soup. Like many of the fairy tales getting peddled around, it's good enough for me. There's been some real doozies as the hysteria ramped up. Seems like things are calming down a bit now.

I live in nyc. Wife got tested. Took her about 2 hours of waiting at elmhurst hospital.
I have no idea where we are in this thing but i know mybdaughter got it first, then wife then me. Daughter has been sicknforever it feels like and shes only a 9mo. Wife is probably 3 weeks in and im about 14 days? Really not sure. The fever hits hard and fast but drops quickly. I believe taking vitamin c really helps a lot. And chicken noodle soup. I think were at the end though, because we have had a bad cough but its going away.

Interesting new website about Coronavirus. It explains when each state has to enact a shelter in place law to prevent hospital overload.
https://covidactnow.org/
It also shows estimated deaths if states don't shelter in place.

in Queensland, the Beenleigh and Bundaberg Rum Distilleries have also joined the hand sanitiser bandwagon, with the state government reaching out to them directly for it.
Beenleigh Rum, the oldest distillery in Australia, will begin producing hand sanitiser this week and will supply it to the Queensland government for distribution to schools and frontline workers.
Bundaberg Rum will donate 100,000 litres of ethanol to the state government, which is enough to make around 500,000 bottles of hand sanitiser
It's amazing what can happen when things look grim

The us produces massive amounts of ethanol as a fuel additive. I don’t think the US has any shortage of the stuff and gasoline consumption has certainly dropped significantly.

Animals transmit viruses to humans all the time. 99.999999999% of those viruses are not capable of infecting humans because they don’t have the correct amino acid sequences to fit in a human cell’s receptors. Every once in a while a virus will randomly mutate in such a way that it can infect a human. That is what happened here. It was almost certainly a single animal that infected a single human, and then that human infected other people. Animals are not a reservoir for the virus. This is pretty much how all human diseases start.
Some viruses like influenza go back and forth between animals and people and back to animals, spending some time evolving in an animal before being reintroduced into the human population. This is generally the mechanism behind flu pandemics.

I still dont understand the obsession with hand sanitizer. Is there a shortage of hand soap I am unaware of?

Hand sanitizer is meant to be used when you are out and about. Every time you touch a surface in a public place, or exchange money, or push a button.
