COVID-19
My one and a half year old niece of currently being tested for CV-19 since she's had a 103° fever for a few days now that hasn't broke, and her mom is on the front lines (nurse). She has apparently been acting normal, and has no cough or breathing issues, which is a relief.

Damn best wishes to your niece NTP. Please keep us posted, that is such a scary time. No surprise that she is acting normal, little kids are amazing in that respect.My one and a half year old niece of currently being tested for CV-19 since she's had a 103° fever for a few days now that hasn't broke, and her mom is on the front lines (nurse).

A follow up on our family--everyone seems to be OK. My son's 103 fever broke after about 24 hours and he is back to his happy, normal self now. My daughter seems to be totally over her pneumonia. And inexplicably, through all of this I haven't had so much as a sniffle

I'm just an old knucklehead that said this before, but if I was much younger say 20s or 30s, I wouldn't try to get infected, but I wouldn't mind testing positive. Get over it and then I wouldn't have to live like this for who knows how long.

The “old people only get serious complications” has sort of went by the wayside in the USI'm just an old knucklehead that said this before, but if I was much younger say 20s or 30s, I wouldn't try to get infected, but I wouldn't mind testing positive.

Be careful man. Drink a lot of water and if those symptoms worsen get checked outToday's symptoms include fever, pain when breathing, shortness of breath.
It's been real folks...

Not sure if still a carrier, but I wouldn't have to be afraid to touch anything or going somewhere and catching it again.Couldn't you still be a carrier?I'm just an old knucklehead that said this before, but if I was much younger say 20s or 30s, I wouldn't try to get infected, but I wouldn't mind testing positive.

Guess that is one way to be sure and get tested.

yadontsay.jpgWhen people think about things like the grocery video above, and wearing gloves... Think of it this way...
You know that thick slimy juice that is in the chicken breast package it you have frozen it and thawed it later? Think of that as the virus. It's just for a stronger mental image.
Now put that slime on everything out in the world, everything at the store, knobs/handles/rails, bus seats, etc. You are wearing your gloves. The slime is just getting on your gloves, no worries, who cares.... But you are standing there and you put your hand on your hip, or touch your phone, or keys, or cross your arms, or scratch the top of your head, etc etc etc. Now that slime in on your clothes, phone, head, etc etc etc. You take off the gloves and get in your car. You grab your phone and put it in the stand/charger/cup holder. Now the slime in on you hand. Now the steering wheel. You're watching tv and how cross your arms, or sit back and put your hands on your hip/thigh. Now the slime is in your hands.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... but you need to keep things in perspective and really think about what you are doing and how what you are doing wither works or completely falls apart.

That's just it...are they really being safer. It's pretty obvious what he's saying...and it's pretty obvious that it makes sense...Jim are you some kind of virus expert? I feel like you're trying to rain on people's parade for trying to be as safe as possible.
In most likely scenarios, notwithstanding the post that prompted this, what you're doing by wearing gloves to the store is the equivalent of wearing a condom just for the oral and then going raw dog there after...are you better off, technically? Yeah, I suppose so. But ultimately, you're still going to be exposed in a pretty prominent way...

It all makes sense. I'm just on the perception side of it. If whoever it was wants to wear gloves because they feel safer, then fine. I'm not going to give that person grief for doing it.
Whether it's safer or not, sure that's totally fine. I'd rather a person wear gloves because then it seems as if gen pop is taking it more serious, even though the risk is largely the same.

I get what you're saying but short of wearing a hazmat suit and then quarantining everything I bought for 2 or more weeks, burning all the clothes I wore and only walking to the store because you can't risk contaminating your car because you put the bags in the trunk, I can only do what I can do. while I do believe this is a VERY contagious disease and certainly awful if you get even a "mild" case of it, I took the pre-cautions that I was capable of. I wore a mask and gloves and disposed of both before leaving the parking lot. I'd say about 70% of my fellow shoppers had some form of PPE and we all gave each other plenty of room. when this is all over will we know if I (hopefully) didn't get COVID19 because I wore gloves and a mask (for the record, I felt a little silly but rather be safe than sorry) or just because I got lucky that nothing I touched or places I visited were contaminated? we'll likely never know. I am vigilant but I refuse to let fear take over my life.
Not directed at you but a comment on wearing gloves during things like grocery shopping, and I do support that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, just things to consider...Now go back and re-read putting "potentially contaminated" in front of the objects (bags, pocket, keys, items, etc).

I don't think anyone is giving anyone else grief...it was just a statement...people are obviously free to do as they please as long as they don't do tangible harm to another...It all makes sense.

I would think you would benefit far more by carrying around sanitizer or Clorox wipes than by wearing gloves. Or not even, and just taking great precautions not to touch your face. Then sanitize when you get in your car, then wash when you get home. Then if you really wanna go the extra mile, go disinfect everything you touched between entering your car at the grocery store and washing your hands.

Albeit he did say, "not directed at you," but then his post went to go on about his glove wearing and how it could or couldn't be beneficial.
I think every one understands contamination is real and gloves may or may not help.
Read also - this isn't an indictment of what he was saying or it being negative in any way. I just fall more into the, do whatever makes you feel safe, even if it doesn't ultimately make you feel safe category, just wash your fricken hands.
