My sister works at Mount Sinai  and she said that some Covid 19 patients are showing signs or having heart attacks with an abnormal EKG and ST elevation without blocked arteries.

Love the flag - what’s the relevance here?  It’s American to say you can’t tell me what to do or individual rights always trump greater good?  

Anything I say is ok because Flag?  

Is this the same as Ricky Bobby saying “with all due respect Mr Dennett” you can follow with anything and it makes it ok?

So I am working for the refueling team during this outage as one of the crew leads as I mentioned before. I was tested Tuesday and received my results (negative) on Wednesday. 

Received a call a few minutes ago that one of the guys on my team came up positive. As I also mentioned earlier we are required to wear masks at work due to falling under CISA and our Governor’s mandate. I am doing my damndest to stay at least 6’ away from people as much as possible, but this has me worried due to my wife’s health situation.

She effectively has no immune system due to chronic high dose steroids to help control her asthma, to the point where she needs IGG infusions every month and Xolair every two weeks. 

I am going to call my GP on Monday and push for another test based on her situation (he is her GP as well so he is familiar with her status). 

If your colleague tested positive in the same round of testing (where you tested negative), you should consider self quarantining for 7-14 days, based on principles of contact tracing. Given your wife's condition, I would consider self quarantine away from her. 

A similar situation arose when someone I know (firefighter) had a colleague test positive. He was quarantined in a hotel for 14 days, before returning to family and work. 

Symptoms don't matter. People are infective far before having symptoms of fever, cough, etc. 

Be safe, and be well. 

Thanks for the advice Ash. At work we are mandated to weak masks at all times (except actively eating/drinking) due to Governors mandate for CISA industries. Company policy also, along with distancing.

I am the team supervisor so I stand back and make sure everyone is working safely, adhering to standards (you can bet there are a multitude of standards in the nuclear industry), and providing overall direction. If I need to talk to someone I stand several feet away and to the side. I don’t get face to face with anyone. 

My wife is sleeping in another room, using another bathroom, etc. 

I am being sent to Yale on Monday (to allow for a 72 hour latency period) with my company badge where I guess critical workers can get tested quickly. 

Keeping my fingers crossed.

“Should I not have done that?  Was that wrong?”

Total bovine scatology. It represents neither the Kentucky or Tennessee state flags as mentioned in his response. Typical current Republican Nazi racist bs. The Republican party used to be better than this. I used to be Republican, 100%. Never again as long as this is deemed acceptable by Republican politicians.

I suppose his swastika face mask was in the laundry?

Not angry, just facts.

Heil Trump!

It is pretty bad when Americans can't tell the difference between ignorance, sarcasm, or insanity from our president.

I think if we run out of morons along the way, it'll be worth it.  I'll take that deal.

Just playin' to the base.  Once the injecting disinfecting movement takes off the base will see a reduction in members, so there's that.

Heh, Peloci just started getting interviewed by Jake Tapper, and midway thru her first answer they broke in with "Breaking News", and switched to Gov. Cuomo's daily briefing instead.  He's doing a pretty good job about explaining the statistics between and exponential vs. shrinking pandemic growth, which isn't easy.  
 
Wish he were a republican...

If I'm Joe Biden, I'm staying in hiding until late October at least. Feels like we're on the verge of Trump's Captain Queeg moment, which of course will mean nothing to 30 percent of the country's voters.

He's projection again.

He thinks he deserves a "Noble" for fighting the "invisible enemy".

I swear, I think he will resign soon. The premise will be Barron's health or some sh!t he can spin to be "noble" to his supporters, love of family, etc.

He'll declare victory against Covid...."so many lives saved 'cause me..."

He'll yammer on about how he built the "greatest economy" in, like ever"...

Pence will take over and pick N. Haley as VP and that's your R ticket in Nov.

No way in hell that impeached president Donald J. Trump steps down voluntarily. He's actually convinced himself that he's doing a good job. He knows as soon as he leaves the White House he's getting charged with tax evasion in New York.

I would normally agree but I don't think he has the appetite for cleaning up this mess. He'll spin it as going out on top.

@dmchicago - I don't know what you have been consuming to arrive at the above but it's a good read and not that far out there.  Creative political genius...
