    I sure hope Lysol "gasses off" 100%, otherwise she's breathing in those fumes and that can't be good, either!  
    It has been less than ideal but she’s been trying to provide the best care she could
    under the circumstances. Her patients are all over town from home hospice to nursing homes she she did have some time to let it air out in most cases.

    Very sorry to hear about TFJ's sister.  Hopefully she stays in the "mild" category.  As long as she can breath and eat, she should stay home.  At the hospital there's oxygen, IV fluids, and (hopefully) ventilators - and a lot of other sick people that you don't want your friends and family to visit - so it's even more lonely than being quarantined in many ways. 

    I am hopeful that here on the I-35 corridor in Austin and San Antonio we are flattening the curve, but we won't really know for another week or two.  Our university/hospital just developed its own test so we have increased testing capacity here in SAT.  I expect our number of known/proven cases to go up significantly over the next few days as a result.  I have not heard a lot out of Austin.
    So far so good. Mild symptoms, cough, low grade fever and some body aches. She’s safe for now and we are all hoping she stays stable. 

    That’s awesome news that you developed your own test. Kind of a shame that you had to but awesome ingenuity from your team!

    month that she had to Lysol between patients. 

    Symptoms are mild so far but she has them all 
    I am so sorry to learn of this. We have family in Italy, and have had that scare a couple of times ourselves. 

    We are hopeful the symptoms will remain mild and a full recovery follows the briefest of down time.

    Stay strong.

    Yeah, our Pathology folks are top notch.  Several other schools (Johns Hopkins, UC-Davis, and a few others to my knowledge) have done the same.

    Apparently I’ve been doing it all wrong going to reputable doctors. I try to stay away from the “doc in the box” places. 
    That was one of the points I was trying to make. That your doctor may have been doing you a service by not writing prescriptions for antibiotics willy nilly.

    But if you think you really need them, there are ways for you to get them.

    Again, for right reasons or wrong.

    One thing that keeps nagging at me, based on Gov. Cuomo's  yesterday (he got 4,000 ventilators, and needed 30,000; "YOU come and choose who gets one!")
    What happens when a medical staff has to choose who gets a ventilator, and a patient's spouse, or son, is screaming in the lobby and brandishing his AR-15?   :o  And before you poo-poo this scenario, consider:
    a) our actions, as a nation, regarding something as simple as TP, and
    b) it's already sorta happened; a person in a Salt Lake City hospital, less than a week ago, threatened to blow the place up if they didn't give him a CV test.
    This could get very, very ugly....  :
    Scary indeed.  An excerpt from https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52012049  ...
    ... As for the American exceptionalism on display, much of it has been of the negative kind that makes it hard not to put head in hands. The lines outside gun stores. The spike in online sales of firearms - Ammo.com has seen a 70% increase in sales. The panic buying of AR-15s...

    Edit: Thanks for the flag(s)  :s

    Want to rewrite it?  Use no more words, but make it far more likely to be true:

    Argh.  I had to delete that post because the hospital has a policy where employees can not post anything about the hospital, status, policy, etc or that employee may be fired.

    And here I thought it was yet another piece of prose regarding Little Rascal.

    Three days ago Schumer was instrumental in blocking the McConnell bill. Good for him.
    The changes then made to the bill that he is touting today as a good deal are bs in the scheme of the trillions preparing to be spent. Schumer rolled over too easily (quelle surorise!). Schumer is a lightweight in comparison to Moscow Mitch (who I loathe but also has my grudging respect).

    I’m no fan of Schumer by any stretch but directing the fire first and foremost at him on this one seems bizarre to me.

    I am so sorry to hear that.  People in that line of work are truly unique and special.  Talk about dealing with the ultimate finish-line and all while comforting the family.  True saints in society.  She will beat this friggin pandemic.  Stay strong for all.

    I only singled out Schumer cuz I'm too lazy to type out all the ahole GOP Senators (aka the usual suspects). :)
    As Senate minority leader the Dems need someone stronger.
    The funny thing is that while Chuck is having a victory lap  the  Senate bill is being held up by a few GOP Senators cuz they think the bill as it stands now is still too generous to poor people.So maybe I was a bit unfair to Chuck, maybe he did have a bit of spine yesterday. :)

    Gov. Edwards of LA is being interviewed on PBS right now, and he just claimed he "didn't know" why Nawlins is suddenly looking like a major epicenter in the US.

    Granted, the first confirmed case in LA was after Mardi Gras (iirc) but the cops had to clear the streets four days before St Paddie's.  
    Maybe we all deserve this.  :anguished:

    Did the President really say that social distancing means we can no longer "hug and kiss in the office" ?   Uhmm... what?

    Does this include dry humping?

    Wonder how social distancing impacts one’s ability to  “grab ‘em by the p***y?”

    And use one of these when you "grab them by the kitty"
