A couple of posters need to self isolate themselves from this thread. Sick of scrolling past all the back and forth bickering when I'm mainly interested in UPDATES and intelligent conversation regarding this thing.

No, social distancing is generally considered to be: isolate at home when possible, only go out briefly, don't gather in large groups, and if you do, try not to lick each other's faces.

Self-Quarantine? Isolation? Social Distancing? What They Mean And When To Do Them

If someone tells you, "I'd love to go to dinner, but I'm socially distancing," don't be offended. It's likely they are trying to do their part for public health.
www.npr.org www.npr.org
Q: OK, I'm not sick or exposed. What else can I do? What is social distancing?


This is a broad category. It means not shaking hands, avoiding crowds, standing several feet from other people and, most important, staying home if you feel sick.


Businesses are doing it when they ask employees to work from home or stagger work hours. Governments are doing it when they close schools. We're seeing it in the sports world, with no-spectator games or the postponement of sporting events. Museums, theaters and concert halls where large groups of people gather are closing their doors.


It means trying to find the least-crowded train car or possibly driving instead of taking mass transit.

Yes, I would say that tends to include cancelling events/closing lobbies in restaurants.

Yeah...some of my clients actually had the service providers drop support & go VOIP-only. I have very few customers with actual, real POTS lines anymore, for anything, even for faxes & alarm lines. Most alarm systems I put in do a dual ISP + 4G type of setup for communications because no one will run POTS lines anymore.

Check this out if you guys want. Some uplifting stuff in here. The one concerning thing is the fact that we've outsourced most of our pharmatical drugs to China. That could be an issue.

AT semi experts did I have the Corona Virus?

Little more than two weeks ago I became sick, rapidly progressed in 24 hours from the oh crap I’m getting sick feeling to ugh I’m sick.
First night I was exhausted and sort of cold
Next day aches
Day 3 more aches worst ever from being sick but not crippled
Day 4 similar to day 3, I didn’t take my temperature but had a few hot/cold moments
Day 5 felt better but kind of weak
Day 6 strength/appetite came back
Apx day 10 cough became less frequent
*I had a dry cough from day one* not a frequent cough but fits of coughing

Reading the symptoms I appeared to have all of them but it’s confusing because maybe it was a regular cold. So far my Wife is healthy we stayed in different rooms most of my sick time but our house isn’t big and has one bathroom.

3 people( or their family) that I've talked with had all of the flu symptoms in Jan but tested negative. Think we've had the corona for months. If provable, maybe people would calm down a bit. Or not.

Watched it the minute it went up but the last two videos in this series had egregious errors.

The John Bolton look-alike kept saying the Tiananmen Square Massacre was in 1979. In the second one they all went on and on about the UK's "tactic" of herd immunity when the UK only discussed it as a consequence (not a goal).

I subscribed to Valuetainment months ago for Pat's more in-depth videos, like Brexit, Iran, and Venezuela, but that little group chat he had with those two guys is turning out to be a dumpster fire.

I've been saying for the last 2 weeks that, with my extensive scientific knowledge (speaking out of my ass), my thought is that if a magic test existed whereby you could magically test the entire country instantly, we would see that 50% + of us are already infected or were previously infected. I think for the most part people are not displaying symptoms or confusing them for something else. Everyone is getting infected, 2% of us will die, and the rest will go on. For the sake of our economy, I hope that plays out sooner rather than later.

I mean when you really look at it, it's pretty much, "no outside entertainment." Which is what the entire country should be doing. We're already obsessed enough with our phones, streaming, and social media, that this shouldn't be a large disruption in that regard.

I dunno, that excludes large swathes of the population. I just went to 3 stores this morning, two of which won't be open Saturday (hardware store, lumber store). What percentage of commercial buildings represent essential services? Like 30%?
