Anyone else's company put total kabosh on travel? We got word this morning at my company (Fortune 500, 35,000 employees) that all domestic travel is immediately suspended.
As an aside .. not sure why people are casting shade on this lady .. (https://twitter.com/into_the_brush/status/1234685467682979840)She called a hotline, checked the CDC website, called two general docs, called an urgent care, called a hospital. She did all that BEFORE she tweeted her story. She did everything right and tweeted how broken the system is.
Is it political to ask why with 6 weeks notice our country has almost zero mass screening/testing in place?
Because if I’m her I’m just going to a damn doctor and not messing with all of the other stuff. Not that hard to get into an urgent careShe wanted retweets
Then you would be wasting time and needlessly endangering others.
Not exactly sure how the swine flu situation is relevant. At all. Read this. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/united-states-badly-bungled-coronavirus-testing-things-may-soon-improve
Because reinko mentioned politics and jock itch threw gas on the fire. The swine flu was the last pandemic (not counting ebola, that was different) that the US has faced.
When does the Fiserv ditch DIY touchscreens? Will computers/robots be replaced by people?!
I have a source to a healthcare provider, they've received thousands of calls to get tested. The CDC will send them 500 kits ... hopefully by Friday. Sigh.
He has also said that stopping spread at this point is unavoidable, and that everyone should have two weeks of dry food on hand.So that is not reassuring.
As time goes on .. I find that attitude surprising. I think what we're going to discover is that COVID19 is widespread, like hundreds of thousands of people have it right this minute. Hell, my son had a fever and a cough for three days last week. We saw no doctor and just got through it. I think tons of C19 cases are going to be like that.Yes, it's infectious but so are 999 other viruses. 32m people get the flu in the US, and only 310k of them get medical attention. We don't have mass quarantines and runs on grocery stores. -- Even if you doubled those numbers for C19, I don't think you stock up your pantry.I am not an expert but I've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express before.
True enough. Today the WHO said CFR (Case Fatality Rate) appears to be around 3.4%... which is actually quite bad. I'm just worried that my parents generation (70+) is in much more trouble. And, they are the ones that aren't taking this seriously. My parents are getting on a plane to get on a cruise ship on Friday in SA. I've done all I can to convince them that its a terrible idea, but my mother is a fatalist, so my warnings have fallen on deaf ears.
