Oh, and the Mrs tested negative. She just has a cold.

Not to be too much of a smart arse, but, according to you, it's only a cold anyway, right?

 

[theiioftx]

No worries. Yes it is to most people. The instructions on a discharge form from testing said, “If positive treat with OTC cold and flu medications.”

made me laugh -- "... all the, “You don’t understand exponential growth, bro,” Tweets have vanished too."

I admit I gained a couple pounds too, despite exercising about the same
Also, there is more trash in the trashcan (its much heavier to roll out)
We run the dishwasher much more often
Electrical bill will be up, but gasolene will offset somewhat (+ less cost of TP, of course!)

I am starting to compile a list of the changes I have noticed
So far, I have from above --

-- I gained a couple pounds too, despite exercising about the same
-- there is more trash in the can (its heavier to roll out)
-- We run the dishwasher much more often
-- Electrical bill will be up, but gasolene will offset somewhat (+ less cost of TP, of course!)​

Today I am adding --

-- I just noticed for the first time the vet assistant who came out to the car to pick up the dogs is pretty cute​

Is that where they are implanting the Bill Gates microchip?

Do we know the political makeup of the dead? Are they mostly Democrats or Republicans? ...

Yes, it is hitting the black community hard, who are predominantly Dems. If the numbers hold, it will be because of the prevalence of pre-existing conditions in that community (diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, ischemia ... ).
None of which will stop Dems from beginning a new phase of impeachment hearings -- with Dems claiming that the coronavirus is racist, a position which will be backed by some liberal law professors posing as fact witnesses.

Is this why I am asking my wife "Are you sure?" over and over?

..Anyway, here is my routine if it might help someone
-- Megadose Vit C - 2000 units every 4 hours, all day, every day. Needs to be a quality product, dont skimp
-- Get outside some
-- Vit D daily
-- Zinc daily
-- Aerobic exercise - do not do any anaerobics (skip the lifting)
-- Do not take Ibuprofen (take Tylenol if you need something)
We may be dealing in the margins here of what might help against this thing but layered like this, perhaps it all adds up. If I did have it, I got over it in less than a week

Best of luck

Of course they will.

OMG, Austin has 506 cases of Corona virus. Time to shut everything down!

0.042% of the population has it after a month. I think we've flattened the curve. Now it's time to quit flattening the economy.

Better hope it’s not running Windows 10. They’ll need to update it once a day and you’ll be super prone to catching viruses!

Too late lol.

FWIW: Coronavirus Is Hitting One Community Particularly Hard

Is it because they aren't practicing social distancing? Do they not exercise enough, don't have a good diet, don't follow good health guidelines? Maybe a little bit of all of these?

I'm sure all those dead Democrats will get better in time to vote.

I was told the virus was under control in the US.
The warm weather would make it go away. It would miraculously vanish.
It was China’s fault, and limiting travel from China had solved the problem.
It was the media’s fault for exaggerating things.
It was Barack Obama’s fault.
States in urgent need of ventilators should have purchased the medical equipment months ago, and it isn’t the president’s responsibility to fix that problem.

Still depresses me that your vote counts the same as mine. Listen to what Fauci and his team have said instead of falling for fake news.

We STILL don't know what warm weather will actually do relative to seasonal flu trends since we have not HAD 'warm' weather. And to pre-empt, NO I do not consider a single day in the low 80's before a dip back into the 60's and 70's to have been 'warm weather.' Doubly so when you factor in that spate of 40's and 50's in Central Texas this weekend.

It would be interesting to look at charts once we actually have some place with a real problem and that actually GETS a good week of 90+ temps...

I think the fact that it propagated in Miami (Florida, not Oklahoma) tells us what it will do with warm weather.

I have been doing Camp Gladiator for 5 years now, and I was so scared about what was going to happen with camps being closed. Luckily they just moved to Zoom, like everyone else. It's nice too, because now I have access to workouts from trainers all over the country, and they can see me and coach me if needed. I usually do one of those in the morning and then a walk later in the day.

EDIT: if anyone is interested in having access to these virtual camps, you can get the next 6 weeks for $39!

Maybe if we had better experts to advise the president:

That’s not what Vox or MSNBC is reporting.
