Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

LMAO

As for colds, if I know one’s “going around” (insert another chorus of “Stay the Hell home!!!”), I’ll load up on vitamin C. Up to 10g/day is fine; more’n that just buys you mild diarrhœa.

I never get “just a cold”. Whatever I end up picking up when those walking disease-vectors go aerosolising live-virus all over the place, ends up knocking me out for a coupla weeks, and add another 3wks ’til I purge all the crap that collected in my lungs and sinuses. :confounded:

So I just forewarn everyone at work, if I get sick, I’m going to be out sick. No working from home, sure as Hell no soldiering through it at work. 100% recuperation effort, every other priority is rescinded.

One place where I worked, they had 10 fully-paid sick-days, and another 10 at half-pay. So you literally had to be out a whole month — 20 workdays — to be completely on your own.

Where I am now, it’s only 5 days, so of course people come in dripping and snorking and doing all other sorts of vile things. Ecch.

Restaurant workers usually don’t get any paid sick days. I wonder if many can afford to stay home sick.

Around here the wait staff usually get in trouble for messing up the schedule.

Miss time in December when it’s busy and you won’t get many shifts in January when it’s slow.

To-do list:

go to restaurant

An eye opener from a couple people who’ve lived in china for 20yrs, and both married to chinese woman. One is married to a chinese physician, not sure what the other one does. They are both speak fluent mandarin. Way more people infected than being reported

Yup I agree. Have been following those 2 since the outbreak started

Yes, been following those 2 bloggers, they’re sincerely trying to be informative.

My 2 cents.

1) Train to Busan is a great zombie film.
2) More and better gadgets are sold every year.
3) The world is a mess.

Coronavirus escapes China.

Go crazi

Train to Busan :+1:

So, some people call it the Wuhan coronavirus.

Others call it the novel coronavirus, though I don't quite understand that one.

My older sister in North Carolina works at a hospital, and they informally call it the kung fu virus.

Pretty bad, huh?

Bra-less, in Wuhan (had a run on face masks early on)

Squirrel says:
“I think ”novel” means new in the way it is used. However I certainly could be wrong.”

Approximately 8.75 million people live in NYC according to the internet. Wu Han has a population of 11 million. It has to be an almost unimaginable hell for people in that city if food becomes in low supply. I have heard medical services are just barely able to help the coronavirus sufferers. Lots of people in an area of that size have other medical needs also. It is so sad.

I did a little research...

"A novel coronavirus means that this strain has not previously been identified in humans."

And, yes, "novel" means "new."

They aren’t calling it Kung Flu?

The CDC is Kung Flu fighting...

Hopefully the CDC will find a KUNG POW! vaccine before the Hunanvirus
hit our shores. :frowning:

The miracle of wonders.
