She has aches and sniffles, one son has chills and a cough, and the young one has cough and sneezing. (For 12 years, if ANY germ flies within 1000 miles of her kid's daycare, they all get it. These symptoms are about as common as dawn in her house.) Two hospitals told her that they won't test them unless they've been in contact with someone who's tested positive or are showing three of four signs (each has two, none has three but, combined, they are a petri dish. Three of six of us in the office are age 60 or older. And that's the catch 22. You don't know if you've been in contact unless you've been tested and show positive and you can't get the test in some places, seemingly, unless you can say you've been in contact. I'm so confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britt works for DHS and they were suddenly assigned laptops on Friday and told they will be getting their telnet (yes...they still use the term Telnet) codes on Monday.

That’s a lot of Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are aggressively practicing social distancing / isolating. Edited March 15, 2020 by Jurassic Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Schools in my state are shutting down for the next 5 weeks. The whole reason for it is to avoid group gatherings. So what are we doing on Monday morning as a staff? All 80 of us are meeting in a small space. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
