The coronavirus

hedonist

We order in a lot; same with groceries.

I’m comfortable with that, but eating in a restaurant? No bloody way. 

Plus, our local government officials had ever-so-wisely advised in-house diners to lower their masks “to take bites of food only.”

Fuck that

I know two people at my work place who has had it now. Closing in.

My tour buddy from my village is sick with covid and his  wife. I took a vitamin stash to him . 
Its so close now it feels inevitable

I feel the same way.  The first “round” of this I didn’t know anyone personally that had it.  Now, coworkers, friends, cousins...seems like everyone around is getting it and I’m just waiting in line.  Not quite as anxiety provoking as a Pearl Jam merch line, but close

if trump wins it certainly seems like all Americans are getting covid.

Totally not true he said we’re rounding the corner with vaccine also right around the corner, so we should be ok as long as we are always rounding the corners!

Aren't any corners if you go around in a corona circle.

I guess closing in around here is 4 out of 33 the schools have cases or outbreaks.

I figure that by now, if someone knowingly exposes themselves and perhaps others in the process, it’s caveat emptor.

Right?

There's a reason I haven't sat down for a meal inside a restaurant in over 7 months.

Killing me, as well.  No deli visits.  No sushi.  No "stop here on a whim" since we don't fucking go anywhere. 

Have not even eaten food fully prepared by anyone in that time period.

Brutal!

What’s wrong no take out we order pizza, Chinese & sushi at least once a month, I refuse to go into a restaurant though ..

Yeah I can dig that, just not how we are rolling.  The only takeout since March has been pizza delivery and that is half cooked and I put it in my oven for ten minutes.

I miss it but don't want to risk my wife's health until we know more.

Justin Turner pulled from 8th inning tonight because a test came back positive mid game. I have a feeling you’re going to see a lot more Dodgers test positive in a few days, good thing for them it’s over.

JT167846

He went into the team photo and took his mask off apparently. Like WTFF?

Interesting. If anyone where I work has taken a test, they quarantine until they get results.

Athletes, musicians, celebrities etc... all live with different rules than us.

MLB dodged a bullet last night.  This would be a disaster had Tampa won.

In this instance they were all in a bubble and it was under tight control for the past number of playoff rounds.  They were tested daily. 

I think everything was OK until dude came back out onto the field to celebrate...that showed poor judgement and control by MLB.

Will be curious to see if they can determine how he was exposed given the bubble and all I have read about the security controls in place.

Why? Are you only testing if you have symptoms? We’re encouraged to get tested every 2 weeks. No action unless your test comes back positive.

And in baseball they were all being tested. No reason to quarantine anyone unless you have a positive test.

No, we don't require periodic random testing, but if you have been exposed to a positive case or become symptomatic, you typically must be tested. I guess if you are just requiring tests no matter what then it makes sense not to quarantine each time.

I did get in to a back and forth with one person who stated they were just testing to be safe because they had gone to a wedding so they wanted to make sure they didn't pass it on to their family, but yet they wanted us to let them be on-campus while waiting for results. I was like, no way. Apply that same just to be safe thinking to those you are going to potentially expose here as well.

If everyone was on board with Turner joining in and willing to take the appropriate measures afterwards, it’s not an issue for me. Unfortunately we don’t live in fantasy land and half of the people on the field probably believe a bunch of half truths and conspiracy bullshit.

We’re not required to get tested, just encouraged. And a lot of people are just being tested on a regular basis just for precaution. I do t go every 2 weeks, but I’ve been tested 3 times in About 4 months. It’s a drive through test and takes about 5 minutes, I imagine a lot of others are just going to be safe or the % positive wouldn’t have been around 3% last month. Now it’s about 7% positive as we’re seeing the daily numbers increase.
