OT: What changes are you and family making to your lifestyle due to coranavirus?

I'd like to thank all those people who are keeping civilization going by working in places like utilities, grocery stores ,or restaurants,plus the hero truckers doing double duty to keep those shelves stocked In the face of extraordinary demand. I‘m frankly amazed by how well the supply chain is doing.
If isolation is the extent of our inconvenience then we are wimps to complain.

Thanks AZ. From a self isolating grocery store worker.

Hoping you get well very soon! Also want to say I've always appreciated your insight on UConn BB

Tornado warning just ended. 15 minutes of downpour, five of hail. High winds, but no tornado. Didn't lose power.

For scale, that raised garden is 7 bricks deep over where the wire tomato fence is. Six are underwater. And that's with a french drain built into the raised bed.

Fun times! Good thing I didn't drop down seed this week.

Are you at the bottom of that hill? Can you drain it to the road?

It only updates as numbers come in. But it is pretty reliably for the final numbers if you look at yesterday.

They say the peak is still two weeks away but it was nice to see them go down if even for a day.

Getting back on topic of the OP, there is zero tolerance for food waste. No more "it's not enough worth saving" when deciding what makes up leftovers.

So true, my wife is saving leftovers and we're eating a lil of something the next day or so. I would say also that there is no uneaten food hitting or trash can. We also are not putting heaps of food on our plate or overcooking. If its edible it stays. If its not my miracle food making wife will even then decide if its salvageable.

The slope of the line is the key....that's the rate of change...
 
We've been doing "leftover night" every four or five days. I think we are going to make it a habit going forward.

Don't know why more families don't always do this, many foods are better as leftovers than fresh. It also saves a tremendous amount of time and money.

Leftoverphobia is one of those American "things" most of the rest of the world doesn't understand (rightfully so). We often joke around Thanksgiving about turkey leftovers and stuff but it's easy to do with meal prep and other areas- broths, soups, chili, stews, etc.

Going on a tangent, another nice thing about staying at home all day, is breakfast for any meal is doable. Just took some deli ham and sautéed it, crumbled up a biscuit, cracked a few eggs and topped it with some shredded cheese. Great lunch bowl.

Need to pay attention to the hospitalized number. If that number accelerates and hospitals become overwhelmed the mortality rate will be higher. One of the two reasons for social isolation was to reduce this curve.

I take it the tests in the COVID Tracking Project only determine who has the infection at the time the test was taken. The serological testing that is not reported in either site will provide a better picture of the overall spread and reach of the virus. Worst case scenario is all those negatives from people in the COVID Tracking Project never had the virus. Need to know the percentage of those negatives who are immune to get an idea of how close we are to reaching herd immunity.

It's better than what we've been doing. Each thinking the other is going to have it for lunch, then throwing it out when it grows hair.

A close friend of mine works in a group home (homeless). One client felt sick they sent him to the hospital. The hospital did their thing and told the client it was the flu, and sent him back. The client didn't get well so they sent him back, and then they discovered the virus and admitted him.

Of course the employees were notified of this and had scheduled tests this week. My friend developed diarrhea over the weekend, and the next day his condition worsened. His wife took him to the hospital and they diagnosed him with the virus. He's old, at risk with major health issues.

Until he was diagnosed he traveled with his grandson to the barbershop, and hosted some of his family at his house (all while asymptomatic). I'm sure his wife has it, and the barber is quarantining. Family members were exposed so who knows, and furthermore who knows who they exposed.

Another friend works for the State CDF, an employee got sick. The Agency called all co-workers alerting them that the employee was sick and they could be exposed, and to quarantine. They could not release the employee's name (HIPPA is not a good thing these days), but were told to await a follow-up call in a few days if their exposure to the virus is confirmed. He did not receive a call, but was on edge.

Just saying be very careful of who you are in contact with, even family members. My neighbors are going in and out of the house like normal. A lady I talked to is having her children come by daily (social) but she can't guarantee her children are complying, my wife's aunt son visits with his friends and goes out into the community. I'm sure we all know similar people or similar stories.

The bottom line is paranoia is a virtue right now, and disregard hurting people's feelings. The enemy is hidden, dangerous and deadly and does not discriminate.

I'm actually scared and I'm never scared. My friend who is sick will need a miracle to stay alive. Dying nowadays is an isolated thing, with no funeral for families to collectively grieve. (A friend of mine lost her sister last week, no funeral).

Please stay safe Yarders, we have more games to watch, enjoy and complain. You guys are helping me get me through this, believe it or not.

Is this guy claiming to give these drugs to people with mild symptoms?

Nice touches to the article with the typos and mentions of Rudy Guiliani.

LOL it’s not even a controlled study. The guy is describing his anecdotal experience with no comparison group. Both of them making some pretty hyperbolic claims that go completely against well documented clinical course data from all over. Symptoms going away in a few hours after starting treatment is just pure rubbish

Can’t assess statistical significance if there’s no two groups to compare possible treatment effects.

not saying they won’t turn out to be useful, but this is not the way we determine effectiveness.
