COVID-19 2020

man…what is May going to look like if we are at 22Mil unemployeed right now
More than 5 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the total in the month since the coronavirus pandemic throttled the U.S. economy to 22 million and effectively erasing a decade worth of job creation.

Well at least it’s slowing

A lot of this is temporary unemployment

The concern is how to reopen parts of economy given Trump is doing nothing like he is supposed to be

Ok we are at nearly 33,000 based on a change made in recording deaths

That is going to be the dagger when our neighborhood pool closes. Family meltdown imminent.

I’m stunned it’s open now, to be honest.

Oh well that’s a good point. Sorry, when I hear pool, I just assumed we are talking about a temperature controlled saltwater pool.

so much for "this isn't any worse than the seasonal flu"…

Covid-19 is rapidly becoming America’s leading cause of death



(pretty sure this isn't what they meant by "help us beat cancer"…)

Yeah. She’s developed literally every symptom in the last 24 hours. Either COVID or she sure picked a horrible time to get a flu.

Bummer..good luck…

Ugh, that sucks. Good luck.

my missus wen through the same thing - sudden onset of all the symptoms, not too badly though.  test came back negative.  took 5 days, but the time the results came back my wife was feeling much better, so she was hoping that the test would come back positive - implying that she now had immunity.  alas, the covid-19 test was negative - not something you hear every day…

moral of the story: stay calm, stay positive.  there is a very good chance she doesn't have it.

Sorry jules… have you guys been exposed?

I’m a healthcare exec who has continued to go into the office part time. We staff nurses in some places with COVID positive patients (including the place with 50+ deaths you’ve seen in the news - Lexington Court).

I don’t personally interact with the RNs, but they have come into offices to pick up PPE. If she has it, I’m guessing I do to (she really hasn’t left the house except to go for a walk) and am just asymptomatic.

Yeah, part of me hopes we both have it since hospitals are not currently slammed. Let’s get it out of the way. She is solid fucking miserable though. This does not look fun.

in hopes of lifting the mood here a bit: FUNNIEST covid-related thing i've seen
