i've been in quarantine for the last week for flu-like symptoms. i lost a lot of weight, feel tired most of the time, some shortness of breath here and there, occasional day/night sweats/chills, no fever. | ||

The US just passed a gargantuan stimulus package, and Trump has changed his mitigation-focused recommendations to extend to the end of April. His advisors are expecting the peak in US cases to occur in around 2 weeks time. | ||

They say this Easter would be the darkest one (expected peak) which is worrying. I hope they don't guess.  | ||

Then I go to wal mart and it has none of that. Employees are coughing (into their hands) while stocking, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes (that were around before this for carts and at the self-checkouts) are left empty, and cashiers have no PPE whatsoever, etc. The same thing is mirrored by people I saw. Some were very meticulous to observe and follow best practices, others were basically debating if licking the handrail on tiktok was worth the clout I'm glad the increased testing didn't reveal that WA is keeping up with New York's infections but I'm still concerned the bending of the curve will be well above our current capacity. | ||

People are so strict here that they let only a few people in shop at a time. Others have to wait outside with 2 meters distance. | ||

Sick workers, lack of sanitary supplies, no PPE at all, no signage even noting their changed hours, let alone efforts to mitigate the spread. If it weren't for there being more empty shelves and more rotten produce than usual I wouldn't even know there was a pandemic going on while I was there. The people they have that are supposed to check receipts have just given up since they had no ppe and people kept coughing while handing them receipts (and most of them are 65+). | ||

The people they have that are supposed to check receipts have just given up since they had no ppe and people kept coughing while handing them receipts (and most of them are 65+). Wal-mart has always treated their employees like shit though. It's entirely unsurprising. (I think even Amazon is doing better, though they have longer hours). I know Kroger's is doing better (of course, it still has a fairly strong union) based on the people I know who work there. My local wal-greens have been doing the best so far (they were the first to implement distance measuring in their lines and they started having their employees wipe down the touchpads after every purchase first). Kroger's also has someone wiping down the self-scan touch screens, though not as consistently at every location (it's a pretty boring job so it may have just been the person zoning out when I was at one of them). They've also mostly stopped stocking entirely during the day. A local grocery store is the strictest though, with a 25 person limit on people inside at the store, with someone standing at the entrance to ensure it. They also have a setup where the cashiers and the buyers have a small boxed area where only one can be in at a time. | ||

That's not helped by the fact that some people buy more houses than they need and they do it for profit purposes. Totally understandable. GreenHorizons is upset because his mother depends on rent to pay for mortgage. If they don't pay, she'll probably be in trouble. Also understandable. On a different topic, people suspect more and more that COVID-19 will be vulnerable to warmer temperature just like previous coronaviruses and the fact that flu usually hits in winter. The only exception is Spanish flu which peaked in summer. That's what I've learnt from here. The only rumors I found is that direct exposure to the sun kills the virus on metall surfaces for example. And direct hits with UVC (the stuff that gets filtered by the Ozone sphere) can criple the virus or outright kill it. Problem is, it can criple and kill humans, too. Haven't found any facts or real evidence, but I'll keep searching | ||

Haven't found any facts or real evidence, but I'll keep searching I am only aware of this study investigating the stability of the virus on different surfaces. It seems like the main point is that aerosole transmission is also possible during a certain time-frame after the virus has been released into the environment. Its stability on different surfaces is measured under experimental conditions (21 to 23°C and 40% relative humidity) and may differ significantly in other conditions. The RKI warns that any results yielded from such studies cannot currently be applied to calculate the risk of infection in the real world. + Show Spoiler + https://www.rki.de/SharedDocs/FAQ/NCOV2019/FAQ_Liste.html | ||

It might have an effect on it, but definitly not like the flu. | ||

Haven't found any facts or real evidence, but I'll keep searching This kind of stuff is probably true, and also completely useless. The problem when treating viruses (or any other disease) isn't killing the viruses, it is killing the virus while keeping the host alive. Killing viruses (or anything else) is easy. Basically nothing survives high intensity ionizing radiation or really aggressive chemicals. But that stuff also kills humans. | ||

Not sure what to think of it, it sound good but I imagine a lot of their employee are not to happy to eventually lose one day of paid work, if they augmented the salaries I'd be happy with the measure. | ||

Staff is proportional to open hours if you cut down on the hours some of the employee will maybe work less hours, I wouldn't mind having all store closed on sunday in general. | ||

The emergency supplies were due to arrive in Milan, the capital of Italy’s severely hit Lombardy region, after being transported by road from the Czech Republic. The delivery follows the despatch by the Czechs of a similar cargo of 10,000 protective suits and 90 respirators to Spain last night. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/italy-and-spain-trigger-emergency-nato-plan-to-boost-medical-kit-a4401591.html Fuck yeah, I am glad that the government didn't start thinking about denying this request(As they tried with the one from China in Februrary(I think)). It may not be much but I am glad they decided to help. | ||
