PondartIncbendog comments on Mar 31, 2020:
So, if you are on hypertension drugs, you are over sixty five, you have heart failure, you have copd and you sing in a choir, you're dead? Hot damn, I'm safe. I don't sing.

No one has ever asked me to join the choir, any choir. My kids can sing, I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

With all my worries of getting sick, this evening I have the beginning of chest congestion.
EdEarl comments on Mar 29, 2020:
An early symptom of covid19 is inability to smell; if you can smell garlic, you probably don't have it. Green tea is an anti viral. Women are less likely to get covid 19 than men, and typically don't get as sick. You are probably OK.
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 29, 2020:

@GwenBFree I don't see additional cleaning being done. We have bottles of hand sanitizer all over the office, they're marked "do not remove". We got an email the other day that one of the bottles has been moved, and as of Friday I did not notice it had been returned. We are told to wipe down our desks first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I rarely remember to. Washing hands, I don't notice, but I think everyone is. We work in a hospital and they used to have a hand hygiene video shown during onboarding, they don't anymore. One of my coworkers is having a family get together this weekend. We're just spreading the viruses all around.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 26, 2020:
I can't give you the graphs but here is the rest: President Trump says he wants the United States “raring to go” in two and a half weeks, on Easter, with “packed churches all over our country.” He and many other political conservatives suggest that we are responding to something like the flu with remedies that may be more devastating than the disease. We created this interactive model with epidemiologists to show why quickly returning to normal could be a historic mistake that would lead to an explosion of infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Instead, health experts advise giving current business closures and social distancing a month to slow the pandemic, buying time to roll out mass testing and equip doctors with protective equipment. Then, depending on where we are, we can think about easing up — while prepared for a new burst of infections that will then require a new clampdown. Using the length of time you chose, the model suggests that 126.5 million people could contract the coronavirus across the United States between January and late October (with 37.8 million at the peak on June 5). More than 1.3 million people would die under these conditions and 125 million people would recover. Tweak the settings, and these numbers will change. These numbers offer a false precision, for we don’t understand Covid-19 well enough to model it exactly. But they do suggest the point that epidemiologists are making: For all the yearning for a return to normalcy, that is risky so long as a virus is raging and we are unprotected. “Anyone advising the end of social distancing now needs to fully understand what the country will look like if we do that,” cautioned Dr. Tom Inglesby, a health security expert at Johns Hopkins University. “Covid would spread widely, rapidly, terribly, and could kill potentially millions in the year ahead, with huge social and economic impact.” [During these extraordinary times, Opinion columnists and writers will be going live on Twitter every weekday at 1 p.m. Eastern to chat with viewers. Join Nicholas Kristof on Thursday: @NickKristof.] A skeptic will note that these measures don’t seem to prevent a surge in infections so much as delay them (in some cases so that the impact is pushed beyond the period that this model tracks). There’s something to that: We may see a resurgence whenever we let up, at least until we have a vaccine or herd immunity. Yet social distancing still is beneficial in two ways. First, we can use the time to buttress hospitals and test treatments. Second, interventions can flatten the curve and spread infections over a longer period of time, so that the health care system does not become overwhelmed. Whatever we do, the pain of both disease and business and school closures ...

@RavenCT Honestly, we aren't at home yet because they don't have the resources to get us set up to work from home. The resources go by priority, patient care, docs, nurses, etc, then the admin office staff. So we have to wait for it to trickle down. And then we won't be home full time, which I don't think is going to help at all.

I still have to go to the office as well, they haven't figured out how to equip us to work at home, I don't have a landline and don't want the calls coming to my cell phone, plus don't want to use my personal laptop.

Thank you! I had lunch with my kids today, and I did hug them. If I do get sick I will never regret having hugged my kids and especially my granddaughter. For the next week I don't expect any handshakes. We can't work remote (yet) so I gotta go to the office. I will sanitize all surfaces. I work for a hospital, we do have germ busting hand cleaners in our restrooms. Aside from office and home I have no plans.

@rainmanjr I missed my mom most when I became a mom. She would have rocked the grammy stuff. So I am thrilled to get to know the grands, and I want to be as involved with them as I can be. One of my daughters was born on my mom's birthday which was amazing. And two of my nieces have my mom's middle name. Mom's first name was Minnie, and no one is going to name a girl Minnie in this world. When my oldest was expecting she told me if the baby was a girl she would have given her mom's middle name, which was Mae. Alas, we got Austin but he's pretty amazing.

But is anyone sure it cannot be spread by paperwork? I know there are a number of cases across the world where no physical contact can be found......
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 7, 2020:
Computers have minimized the amount of paper that gets handled. Yes, we have some stuff mailed in from patient's families, but most of it is fax, email or via our online portal. In the hospital patient care area again there is not a great deal of paper handled. We use EMR and electronic billing. What I wouldn't want to do right now is handling insurance cards or cash. When I see insurance cards they have been scanned already, and once a year or less we get a family that wants to pay cash, and I'm not the one that handles that.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 29, 2020:
I make so much of my own stuff already, but I dislike hand sanitizer. My hands get dry enough with just soap and water, I can't imagine adding alcohol. I work in a hospital so hand sanitizer is everywhere, and I'm glad I don't have patient contact that I would need to use it.
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 29, 2020:
@Petter I need a heavy duty emolient, I am now using hand lotions every time I wash my hands and often in between. I think it is an age related thing, other parts of me are dryer than usual too so I even cut back on frequency of showers and washing hair. I'm told it is normal with age. The good news is I've reached that age, the bad news is I've reached that age.
