No, not everybody but maybe a few, figure.I sure hope so, and I sure hope my coworkers are taking it seriously and not going out, because I'm stuck working with them. I head back to work tomorrow.
Statistically we're probably fine here as there's only been one case so far, but given that person came from out of town on a plane, everybody else on that plane probably got it too and just have not been officially diagnosed yet.
Myself, I'm generally in no hurry. If it's delivered to me, I'll set it aside for a while, handle it when I figure it's safe.i loaded up a spray bottle with 70% alcohol and spray it all over things lol
or do both!Myself, I'm generally in no hurry. If it's delivered to me, I'll set it aside for a while, handle it when I figure it's safe.
Things have escalated quick since you went to Argentina. Lot of airlines have cancelled all international flights so you might have hard time finding a flight out. If I was in your situation, I would book the first flight out ASAP no matter the cost. If not, just make best of the situation and find/pay for female companionship. You need some kind of human contact.DigDog, your man on the street from Argentina, reports that
the Argentinian president is considering issuing a decree of Martial Law for the next few weeks. All flight to and out of Argentina will be cancelled.

jesus all i wanted was some H&B. i don't want to spend the rest of my life in Argentina.
From the UPS site.I thought the point was not how long it survived on cardboard, but how easily it could then get from the cardboard to you? It sinks into the cardboard, or something like that, and doesn't easily transfer to you.
On the other hand - if the delivery guy rings your doorbell and asks you to sign for the delivery as he stands there? Isn't that more where the risk of contagion is?
In the interest of employee and customer safety, UPS’s Signature Required guidelines are temporarily being adjusted such that consignees will no longer need to sign for UPS Signature Required deliveries. Despite this adjusted process the driver will still need to make contact with the consignee. The consignee must, at the time of delivery, acknowledge that UPS is making a delivery and, if applicable, show government issued photo ID.
We want to do our part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.
That’s why effective immediately, we won’t require you to physically sign for most deliveries made in the U.S. It’s just another way we’re focused on Safety Above All - now, and always.
Visit our COVID-19 customer site for more details and to learn more about how FedEx is responding as this situation evolves.
To reduce health risks, we also are temporarily modifying customer signature capture procedures. While maintaining a safe, appropriate distance, employees will request the customer’s first initial and last name so that the employee can enter the information on the electronic screen or hard copy items such as return receipts, PS Forms 3811 and 3829. For increased safety, employees will politely ask the customer to step back a safe distance or close the screen door/door so that they may leave the item in the mail receptacle or appropriate location by the customer door.
I think a lot of us know, but unfortunately those in power won't agree because of greed and reduced profits.
I have isopropyl, but don't want to waste it spraying packages. I'll just wait. It's foolproof if you wait long enough. Alcohol, how can you be sure it's disinfected your package? I've seen varying figures, how long it takes.or do both!
I just ran the numbers and 1% of 900 billion is nearly 8 billion so your math checks out. RIP in peace everybody!It's bad you guys, I just did a quick calculation, and using the same growth rate from the last 2 weeks or so, in about 3-3.5 months there will be 900 billion total coronavirus cases! Earth population is only around 8 billion, so as you can imagine, even a 1% death rate would be quite devastating.
I can check the math, but it's just simple (unconstrained) exponential growth, what could be wrong about that...
“There are a lot of young people in our Intensive Care Units (ICUs) – our youngest is a 38-year-old who had had no comorbidities (underlying health problems).
“A lot of patients need help with breathing but there are not enough ventilators.
“They’ve told us that starting from now we’ll have to choose who to intubate – priority will go to the young or those without comorbidities.
“At Niguarda, the other big hospital in Milan, they are not intubating anyone over 60, which is really, really young.”
She added: “This virus is so infectious that the only way to avoid a ‘massacre’ is to have the least number possible getting infected over the longest possible timescale.
“Right now, if we get 10,000 people in Italy in need of ventilators – when we only have 3,000 in the country – 7,000 people will die.
“A child with no symptoms will go to visit its grandparents, and basically kill them. So it’s essential to avoid contact between them”.
Proof you're ignorant and have not basic human compassion.
Horrible news out of Italy:
You don't want your appendix to burst during the peak. And forget about getting quick care if you have a stroke
Harvey Weinstein's got it.
Pretty sure this dude is in a high risk category.
See, that's one reason I'm not leaving the house. My neighbor is deep in epidemiology, his mom was/is (?) a doctor and he tells me she had a deep interest in epidemiology. He told me confidently a week ago that in two weeks we'd be Italy. I figure if I need a ventilator, I'm likely a dead man. They'd give mine to somebody else and shut the door.Horrible news out of Italy:
Does seem like the only real solution is to get everyone tested, esp a test to see if they had it in the past. That may not be feasible to test everyone.
