Was supposed to travel to Florida next weekend, but that trip just got cancelled. It was partially for work, but also to go to a celebration of life for my friend's son that suddenly passed away about a month ago. They decided to postpone the gathering until a later date.

I'm not sure if interaction with just one or two people with the virus makes it a certainty you will catch it. Based on the Utah Jazz data, there were 2 people with the virus out of the 58 people they tested who had close contact with them. We know about how long it takes to develop symptoms, but I'm not sure how long after the interaction a negative test is conclusive.
My other question is after you test positive and the symptoms pass are you still contagious. With other viruses, like the flu once you are symptom free for 1 day you can return to work. I think most mild cases only last a couple of days so if you are clear then you could return to work and not have to be isolated for 14 days. |

Sanjay Gupta was on CNN last night and he said you were still contagious after your symptoms go away. I think he said for a 3-5 day period afterwards. I might have the number of days wrong though. |
Ohio is up to 13 people confirmed and 159 with tests pending.

Cruz also hates Trump and would love to be the one who comes out looking good. He knows the shit will hit the fan soon and a lot of Trumps demographic will be hit hard. He is betting they turn on him. |

Guy on FOX News even saying The White House had to walk back many statements from 2 nights ago and he has to be 100% "pure" with what he says today. Also ctitical of McConnell and the senate about wanting to go on break.
It will be interesting to see if Trump gets turned on at some point by more moderates. |

Dude, what do you think Fox news is for? |
Almost 100 new cases in NY today. Now that testing is ramping up, I expect these numbers to go much higher.

All Florida schools are now closed for two weeks.

Thanks for everyone who reported in on what's happening in your areas. I think the above quote here is entirely the appropriate response for the grater good and is likely what will end up happening. I'm not encouraged by the early returns on how my particular company is reacting (or more accurately, not reacting) but there is precedent in the past from the upper levels - they've paid everybody reasonable amounts of hours in single restaurants when there was a fire to stay home until the store was rebuilt, etc. Whether that kind of thing will happen in this situation for a much larger group for the length of time required? All of that is still very much up in the air. |
It's been fun to get an email from every business that has my email address to assure me that their employees wash their hands a lot.

I think I wagered $20 each at Fan Duel & Draft Kings like 3 years ago, but I got email blasts from both of them letting me know that they would still be providing me with ways to win during these uncertain times, which has been reassuring. |

I got several of those, plus this one from Supercuts that included “We kindly request that if you are not feeling well, please reschedule your visit for when you are feeling better for the safety of our team and other customers.” |

My kids school closed next 2 weeks. Looks like I am homeschooling. They sent home a huge packet of work.

I can call the car dealership and it might be possible to have my test drive brought to me at home. That's a time killer and a half! |
Kids are home for 4 weeks...3 weeks off plus spring break. No work was sent home. We have a few ideas to keep them doing school work.
I'm tired of getting the emails about what X company is doing to combat coronavirus. It's starting to make me wonder if they'll keep with these measures after this is over or if they'll go back to the not so clean practices they were following before. |
My school district is shutting down next week. A week of e-learning and, thanks to a mild winter, 2 weeks of spring break. Gives us 3 weeks of no students and a chance to ride out the worst of it (hopefully). Today was a lot of stress for teachers to prepare and support staff to wonder about getting paid. Thankfully, my district opted to have support staff come in and work so they can get paid. Will find some creative ways to use them!

Governor of Minnesota stated they are keeping schools open for now, declared a peacetime emergency and recommended no 250+ gatherings but did not ban them. MN is up to 14 cases, supposedly all from travel rather than community spread. The additional 5 cases from yesterday were from 250 tests conducted in the past 24 hours.

Diners at restaurants in Seattle are down almost 60% from this time last year.

My son's school is closed for an indefinite time. It will be at least two weeks. They are doing some online course work.

Not confirmed this is the final version but best I could find on details on the agreement.

So the obvious question is how is treatment going to be paid? I assume I'll do the 20% copay but do we have reassurances that (1) treatment will be taken care of by my insurance and (2) the 20% copay of X, that X is a reasonable amount. |

Good friends of mine own a bar in Belltown. They said a lot of restaurants are considering closing. |

Thanks for this. Seattle seems to me to be a reasonable baseline for where things may end up before they get better. |

I went back up to Publix to get the wife some coffee creamer. OMFG! What a difference ten hours made! I guess everyone is taking it seriously now. Empty shelves galore. They did have the coffee creamer though. I talked with a cashier I know and she said the last fours hours was worse than anything she has during the hurricane season. |
Went to Sams club. Busy. Stocked up. Got 5 containers of disinfectant wipes and 120 Slim Jims.
Im ready. |

My wife's employees dad thinks he has it and was tested, but didn't tell his daughter who lives with him who continued to go to work the next day. We were planning on social distancing but looks like that might become enforced quarantine... he gets his results on Monday or Tuesday.
As of around 9pm, supermarkets in the LA area appear to be completely cleaned out according to a few of my coworkers who shopped around a bit. The panic is well and truly here folks. |
My district and pretty much all the local districts in Los Angeles are shutting down.
A lot of stuff off the aisles. A lot of stuff still around. But no toilet paper to be found. My SIL's roommate tested positive for it up in Seattle. She's been sick the last couple of days, so Im sure she has it. |
Norm Macdonald still out there killing, with brand new coronavirus material.

It occurs to me that while we'll never know probably how hard they are hit, this might be one time when North Korea's super-paranoid approach actually works to their benefit.

This. Like I get it, everyone has their own standards for cleanliness and there is inherent risk in going out to eat, going to the gym, etc. Most of us have either been in these service businesses or know someone who has and know the horror stories. Some of these establishments are telling on themselves when they talk about the extra cleaning that they have begun to do. Especially when they end up side by side with a similar establishment and a comparison can be made. |
