So found out today my hours are cut from 40 a week to about 20. Wisconsin is on a 30 day lockdown. We are considered an essential business so we can remain open but with everyone else closed there just isn't a lot of work coming in. Not good with a $6500 medical bill to pay. Color me worried

As MWoO said not mutated. Just learning of a new symptom that show up in about 30% of the patients. Actually good news to me. All the other symptoms can be attributed to other sickness - colds, allergies, etc. - this is mostly unique to CORVID-19. So if you lose your sense of smell and taste...

The point still stands. I could have said Atari

I can't help to think how during WWI and WWII 16 year olds were lying about their age in order to join the army and serve their country. These morons are too selfish to do something as simple as stay home. Chances are they do nothing with their life then sit on their couch drinking beer and...

Not a problem. Just dont want to see this thread get mired down in political garbage. I think it should be used to check on each other and keep each other informed in this time of worldwide crisis. We're all in this together. Let's look out for one another.

Great link D'Snowth

Can we please take the politics in this thread to the politics thread? IMHO this thread should be dedicated to COVID-19 news and updates. This virus is serious enough that it would be nice to have a thread to just news and check on each other to make sure everyone is staying safe and healthy.

We finally live in a world where grocery store workers, restaurant workers, nurses and doctors, and teachers are more important than celebrities and sports stars.

The Gambler

And it should be said that for all the bashing big businesses get for corporate greed many of them are paying their employees even though they are closed down and sent home

Dang, I check all boxes except the side car

Yeah, about this years Stuckey's get-together. Unfortunately, we may have to delay it until late summer. P.S. Are you still seeing that waitress?

There is no for sake of argument. It is as bad as they say. Read up on what's happening in Italy. That is the potential in the U.S. We actually have less hospital beds per capita than Italy, where they were forced to decide who gets saved because they didn't have enough beds. After 2000...

Well, first I would hope they are reporting this. Cant really say I've watched foxnews for their coverage. Caught a little bit of CNN's coverage. Why wouldn't I believe them? I'm smart enough to sort out the fact from the hype and do my own research. Why do you ask?

WAKE UP MAN!!! Read a little about what's happening in China and Italy. And then come back here and tell me how it is being blown out of proportion. Those were predictions that never came to fruition. This isn't 4 weeks ago when these were still just predictions. This is coming to fruition.

We will see this through. Everybody look out for each other. Check on a neighbor. Quit hoarding. Stay home. Together we got this. Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents went off to war. I think we can manage to sit on the couch

I care. It sucks. Lots of weddings, graduations, major life events are being cancelled. It is the right thing to do though. You wouldn't want your mom or any of her friends get the virus because of the party. Just imagine what a surprise it will be when you throw her a surprise party in 6 months...

Sorry D'Snowth. But this is much much bigger than the inconvenience of not being able to watch a Youtube video. In the coming days you will see many more businesses completely shutdown until we can get the virus in check. And that may be a while. And without people taking this very very...

I'm sitting here just freaked out about today's meeting. Just in tears over the seriousness of this and the potential of absolute destruction to our country and world. I have never felt this upset in my life.

Here is a great article to explain how we can slow the COVID-19 virus. Why outbreaks like coronavirus spread exponentially, and how to “flatten the curve” Our parents and grandparents and great grandparents were called to war. We are called to sit on our couches. I think we can do this.
