How has the Coronavirus impacted you directly, to this point?

[CoTtOnMoUf]

Man, the gym is one of the worst places to be for something that can be transmitted simply by breathing. Especially by the cardio machines with folks huffing and puffing.

Took our rocket scientists in office until today to mandate gyms close. German studies on transmission via breathing came out last fucking week.

Man I'm missing my gym workouts!

I got some nice equipment in my basement

but it ain't like ALL the equipment at the

gym. I pay like 25 dollars a month for the

gym... I'm wondering if gyms will be

obligated to refund us for the time that

we can not come in and workout?

my gym is still open for now, the staff be in there cleaning everything, all day. They’ve even been posting videos on Facebook of them cleaning the gym and the members practicing #SocialDistancing.

Are they cleaning the air or people carting the virus who don’t know it? Your gym is run by morons. If you have no symptoms you’re walking right in infecting people. No amount of cleaning will save you.

We all got family members affected by this, you might not want to tell them, they may get anxiety and more depressed. In a month or 2, some of them may be gone.

Coronavirus adds to troubles of kidney patients

Patients might soon start feeling the heat of heparin shortage even as the world marked kidney day last week.
The World Kidney Day came at a time when there is a coronavirus outbreak, first reported in China, and kidney patients around the world and in Kenya are facing the implications of the disease.
Heparin, a drug for kidney dialysis patients, is also used in surgery to stop clots. It is derived from pig intestines and China supplies 60 to 80 per cent of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Patients who go to dialysis units have already been warned that they might soon not be able to access services should the situation remain the same. “Some hospitals have told us that the drugs they have can only last a month and so we are scared of what will happen should they run out,” said John Gikonyo, who has a pre-existing kidney condition.

I work 35 to 45 minutes from my job and I work remotely since last Thursday, so it's a benefit. Instead of waking up every morning at 6:30, I wake up every morning at 7:50. It's sad that it comes at the expense of many people getting sick.

I wish the bosses at my job would realize we don't have to be in the fucking office, but we're run buy old curmudgeons that believe work should be done at work. Shit won't change around there until they retire or the other thing

so are y’all staying locked up in the house? My job hasnt shut down yet so I’m around 5- 10 times as many people on my job than when I’m in the gym

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

My company transitioned us from the office to working remotely around this time last year which went into effect in the summer so there's been no difference there.

However I work as a social worker with a caseload of disabled individuals some of who are high risk which means shit is about to get crazy but at least that means job security for now.

I'm worried about my mother who's in her early 70's and has diabetes and asthma which puts her at risk yet she still insists on attending senior functions in her building

Truthfully the idiocy of other people when it comes to there panic shopping and hoarding is what's making this so much worse.

If they would calm the fuck down shit would be far more tolerable.

Same here. Not having to commute to work has been a benefit.

Man, I said when this shit started that A LOT of people were going to be surprised that they been making commutes for nothing other than to appease busy body, old fools. Make the entire office suffer just because they can't stand to be home or have to 'feel busy'.

I bet all the dinos going crazy trying to figure out the technology so they can hold bullshit virtual meetings.

I refuse to work with dinosaurs. Shit, if client too slow to understand shit through emails and bugs me with wanting phone calls, I'll cut them off.

I been at my company for close to 10 years and we already embraced telework. Like 40% of our staff are teleworkers so this is really nothing new for us..
My AVP told me after the company did a financial assessment of how much they could save by letting people work from home, they instituted teleworking policies (less paper being printed, less electricity being used, etc.)

My analysis - companies that don't have telework policies, after this event ends, their board members will be looking at the amount of money that was saved and embrace telelworking.

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Negro...you're repeating what I've been saying the entire time.

You are not refuting anything.

Damn.

Shut your dumb ass up and go buy stock in GILD.

They're about to drop a clovid 19 treatment.

It's been discovered to be effective in most patients thru trials...the same way tamiflu was for h1n1 in 2009.

sure champ you da man!

Remdesivir.

Problem is, these dinosaurs hate their wives and/or their wives hate them so they can't stand to be at home

It's like a pay raise just not having to pay for gas

You are not arguing with me. You're arguing with what you think I'm saying.

I just read an email that said someone in my building tested positive last week. Mufuckas were sick the whole time. I am to believe this shit has probably been going around since last year. I wouldn't be surprised either. We have so many tourists running around down there that it is possible folks were bringing them international germs with them.

you think this is over hyped and shit doesn’t need to be shut down....I completely disagree. You compared it to H1N1 like a Fox News talking point 2 weeks ago which made them look like asses now. You said antiviral weren’t available for H1N1 till later that was false.

im at a hospital as we speak setting up mass treatment tents

Is the Coronavirus response Trump's last ditch effort to hold on to power and avoid prosecution? I see him trying to postpone the election indefinitely behind this.

Slow your panicked ass down and let your intellect take over.

Here's how – and where – to get tested for coronavirus in Pennsylvania, New Jersey

People usually need to be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, have a referral from their doctor, and make an appointment

COVID-19: The immune system can fight back

Researchers were able to test blood samples at four different time points in an otherwise healthy woman in her 40s, who presented with COVID-19 and had mild-to-moderate symptoms requiring hospital admission.

Poor guy.

he needs a man ( father figure big brother) in his life smh

My job is shutting down for a week starting Monday, at first they were talking about we’d have to draw unemployment but changed it later to giving us fullllllll payyyyy so I’m not impacted negatively so far

This dam pandemic Is about to have me fly back home and beat my little brothers ass. He running around fucking bitches and still being around our mother who’s In her 70’s

 

[THE DRIZZY]

I work for a big hotel. We laid off 90% of the staff this week. Tonight we only had 7 Guests in house. They are looking to close the hotel sometime tomorrow. The only good thing is my Team will be working during the shutdown.

The Gov can take over hotels and motels in these times, those beds will most likely be needed.

 

[CoTtOnMoUf]

Nope. That planet fitness niggas took their $10 out and said nothing about a refund even though in DC all gyms have been closed and shut down.

After 30 days and they still not open,

they gonna have to refund me after

another 30 days. They'll have to right?

So I work for a government hospital putting up mass treatment tents as we speak cases jumped 40% in just 24 hours we have police with guns at the only 2 open entrances....at a hospital but I’m panicked....lol you’re a fucking Idiot

And the armed guards are a panicked response, and has you totally discombobulated.

My entire circle of friends are physicians.

Say it with me:

85% of people infected with covid 19 have mild symptoms and recover within 2 weeks.

Severe cases need ICU treatment usually including intubation.

Covid 19 has probably been here since December 2019.

Our government failed us and a militarized response is the wrong response.

We will continue to be infected well into 2020 and beyond.

Stop being scared and figure out what your intellectual response will be.

I just dont understand it...erasing that commute and not having to rush through breakfast/grab fast food itself can increase moral. If i was 100% remote no way i would be paying this premium to stay close to my job. They always come with that bullshit that communication is better in the office...mind you my team for the most part is within 6 ft of me and everybody still uses IM to communicate
