Just went to highland park In Glastonbury and they have tons of cleaning supplies but no TP. I keep buying stuff that will probably go bad :shrugemoji:
Doesn't this seem like war time scenario, but the war is being fought here?If hospitals are full of coronavirus patients, there's not a lot of room for 20-somethings who just got into a car wreck.
Or anyone else.
Need something quicker than a shotgun. I was thinking an automatic, possibly even a flamethrower.Are you sure I need more than I already have?
I'm always looking for a new shotgun, but my wife thinks I have enough. Perhaps I can tell her that the-boneyard says we should probably all be buying guns. Worth a shot I suppose.
The TP thing is insane honestly. I stopped at dollar tree just for cheap stuff to stash and saw a bunch of TP. I got some reserves for family members that might need some. Believe it or not, it's not the sandpaper version like everyone would think. Worst case you can resort to some tissues, paper towels... leaves, pinecones.Just went to highland park In Glastonbury and they have tons of cleaning supplies but no TP.

Good luck. I hope she okMy daughter's boss and coworker went to London last week. Both returned to work Monday, and then told to stay home and self quarantine.
My daughter texted me this afternoon that she is in the ER. She was not feeling well the last few days. She went to the clinic near Boston but they don't have CV test kits, so they sent her to the hospital. She's on a gurney, they said something about admitting, texting me every 3 minutes. Lots of silly stuff (nervousness) but I've got to be a dad. She's 3 hours away and lives alone. Mom doesn't know yet, and she's an extreme worry wart.
My daughter doesn't have a fever, I guess that's great news, right?
Edit: She just texted me that they have a real CV case that's active at the hospital (not her). Its in Burlington MA for anyone near there.
I'm anti-gun but I love my flamethrowers.Need something quicker than a shotgun. I was thinking an automatic, possibly even a flamethrower.
I am scheduled for vascular surgery next month. There is nothing elective about it. Between now and then, I have to get clearance from a number of doctors, have more blood work done, etc. Despite my age, I was not the least bit concerned about going under the knife again. Needless to say, that attitude and feeling of confidence has changed over the last week or so.
You have such a selfish view. What if you give it to someone who will not, in fact, get better but will die bc of your selfishness and unwillingness to change your behavior for a short time.Doubtful. While avoiding it may be a non-zero reduction in your risk, it's not that far off. If you are in range of someone that has it, you're likely to get it, regardless. And then you'll get better. FACT.
This is exactly the goal...flatten the curve. Issue in Italy is not enough ventilating equipment and the average age of the population effectedThe response is not about its impact to healthy individuals. The response is about flattening the curve so that the at-risk population does not totally overwhelm the medical system. Please listen to doctors and experts and give up the tough guy act.

The experts are saying our hospitals will be overrun eventually.
I live in mamaroneck ny, and people are totally panicking!
Thanks, she said she feels okay. She didn't have a fever so she was taking precautions when she felt sick/weak. I hearing a lot of millennials are freaking out over this virus.Good luck. I hope she ok
Had a heated argument with my 3 year old daughter pediatrician. She had a 101 fever on Tuesday and they refused to see her unless she and I were tested for Coronavirus. I said there absolutely no reason to be tested for Coronavirus she hasn't left the town we live in for over a week and the closest positive test is Wilton. Next day her fever was at 104 called again they asked if we had been tested yet I told them no but if you refuse to see my daughter and something happens to her you will be hearing from my lawyer. They called me back within a half hour and said they would see her. She has flu strain A just as I told them on the phone that she probably has the flu. But because of their delay we couldn't give her the tamiflu since it had passed the 48 hours. She doing much better today after a rough 3 days
People are acting irrationally everywhere. Its important to control and limit the spread but putting a 3 year at risk is asinine
Yeah janitors, office staff, paras, cafeteria workers aka people who get paid way less than admin and teachers are going to really feel the pinchThanks, she said she feels okay. She didn't have a fever so she was taking precautions when she felt sick/weak. I hearing a lot of millennials are freaking out over this virus.
Her job just shut down for a couple of weeks, and WFH for everyone. They have a cafeteria, so you know who isn't getting paid.
Same with schools, teachers and admin may get paid, but janitors and cafeteria workers I doubt.
Congress has to do something for those folks.
yeppers, were in round 2 of this years flu. yankee saying, 'flu? 3 days coming, 3 days here, 3 days going..." of course, there are many annoyed at the way past 9 day cough thing (for some, there is a looong cough 'tail' for this version). feed that kid some toast with a good garlic rub, and whatever else it takes to get the child to not only eat it, but enjoy it, too. if nothing else, it will definitely help with the digestive discomfort that sometimes shows up with this flu.Had a heated argument with my 3 year old daughter pediatrician.

We only have 30,000 ventilators across the country, my friend said CT. can only currently provide 20 tests a day. I've now heard well-credentialed people say they think we're less prepared than Italy, another said we're less prepared than Iran.This is exactly the goal...flatten the curve.

I've stopped saying, "If it doesn't kill me, it'll make me stronger."
I'm thinking that last Sunday was my last post-exercise sauna, steam, whirlpool sequence for an unknown while; not happy about this.
Replenished meds, filled in food stock, increased hand-washing & accessability of sanitizer.
Made an inventory of out-of-home locations for exercise, culture, spiritual, educational, shopping, and personal care, and thought about which are essential, important, preferred, and optional.
Have had reality testing conversations with trusted friends and family, letting go of need to not sound stupid or uncool. if I exercise extra caution as things sort out.
Look at people, places, and things a little differently.
More concerned that I could transmit to others than be affected myself
Recognize how readily people say that >60 is old, and how readily I say, "Yeah, but that doesn't really apply to me, right?"
Walking the neighborhood, hiking trails, and beaches is probably the best thing you can do.Brief update:
Starting Wednesday, every single scheduled gathering option has been canceled or postponed. I got a haircut yesterday, and finished up this round of provisioning.
Walking outdoors is my top form of exercise - neighborhood, hiking trails, beaches.
No shortage of things to do in-home, including long-deferred, "Ya know, someday I should..." stuff, and...so much streaming, LPs, and whatever in between.
Time to grab a pizza?Restaurants in new haven are closing. L'orcio is one that announced they will be closed for a few weeks
