First of many unfortunately Yes she is. Only 36. It’s why I get annoyed when it’s pathophysiology gets minimized as just another “flu” and only the elderly and chronically ill are at risk. We simply don’t know yet. Link to comment

It'd be interesting to see her H&P, - smoker/nonsmoker, underlying conditions (asthma or bronchitis), ect. Also she's been in Omaha for a week+, so uhhhh, good luck on containment. 1 Link to comment

After these past few years of virus infested cruises, I don’t think you could pay me enough to go on a cruise. I heard that one cruise ship, the people are confined to their cabins for 21 days. Can’t come out and can’t leave the ship. They gotta stay in their little bitty closet room. There’s a fun vacation. Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don't get why people travel overseas...the flight alone is like a virus. And a cruise??? No thanks. Link to comment

I have a couple of employees that I'm trying to talk out of traveling overseas due to this, but they aren't getting that it's a huge risk right now so not much I can do about it. The wife, kids and I usually take a cruise every year around May, but not this year. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Normally these things don't concern me much. I'm fairly healthy, not THAT old and I don't tend to get colds or flu often. But I am on a medication that supposedly wrecks my immune system. Theoretically I would fall in to that immune compromised category. So I don't want to find out how I would fare too badly. Although I do have my doubts about how useless my immune system really is. Ever since I started this medication 5+ years age, I don't recall being sick once. Link to comment

Hopefully summer will help reduce the impact and by next winter we can find a vaccine. I think you have the attitude everyone should have, don’t panic but be cautious. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 A word of warning. I don't know where all this deal has spread to but if it's not in your state/area yet, and you're inclined to want to stock up on any groceries, especially disinfectant, Clorox, wipes, hand sanitizer, etc. you should get them now. Maybe it's happening everywhere already but boy did the grocery stores get emptied around here in a hurry. I wouldn't call it mass hysteria but it's kinda like that. Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 The rest of the world has viable tests, readily available to their populace. Heck, South Korea even has drive-thru testing. And entire American states can only test five people per day? Or none at all? Sheesh. Link to comment
