Jesus. That definitely comes as a surprise to me. They're still hoping for the Masters which begins on April 9th,but at this rate that event is definitely in limbo as well.

Thank you, I'm more of a technologist until I finish school but still learning and working with them. I can't wait to pick a graduate school project and do it with them. Definitely check your cleaning products. Another popular one is chlorox wipes without bleach that won't work on virus left on objects or handles.

They are so worried about spread that the rooms we work with it in are not allowed to be entered for a significant time after work and anything in our biosafety cabinets with virus is bagged, soaked, bag is sprayed down and sealed and then it gets stream sterilized for 60 minutes at 250 C. Plus multiple body temperatures taken daily to check for fever, any symptoms results in quarantine until confirmed negative etc.

A top health official in Ohio estimated on Thursday that more than 100,000 people in the state have coronavirus, a shockingly high number that underscores the limited testing so far.

I get Bronchitis or pneumonia every year one time like clockwork. Doctor said let's try it, worse than Tdap vaccine. I still got Bronchitis before Christmas then got it again last week and if last week wasn't it I know this thing will give me Bronchitis.

Washington state info. Hearing more nursing homes getting cases and a kid in a dorm case. Oh and Nintendo.

Could have been a C-17 or a C-130, we do have a few 130's at moody but like I said the approach was wrong for the base, that's why I think it could be DoD coming maybe from Robbins with supplies/personnel to help properly assess things.

We are a tiny base with an even smaller clinic, they dont even really have the people to handle just active duty on base normally if this stuff takes off they will be overwhelmed in a day or so.

Ones a prop plane and ones a massive heavy lol

well damn.

Flights are still connecting from North America to Asia through Anchorage.

Unreal to me. Shut these flights down. It's been 6 weeks since we've addressed this.

Here is the dilemma, clearly we are at a tipping point. I can quit my job or take a week or two off and hide out at home, but based on all known evidence, things will be significantly worse then, not better. So then what? Another week, fortnight, or month? I doubt things will be looking any better by late April. So what is the answer? You can’t isolate yourself forever. Is it better to just carry on until such time as you either contract the virus or full lockdown is initiated (Not likely, the U.K. are scared to act), or stay home indefinitely?

We have to keep working, til told otherwise.

I'm from ohio.

They at least pulled the trigger fast once they decided.

It's already spread quite a bit..like most of the country.

Maybe other states will follow our lead and buy some time.

I am starting to freak out a bit.

Not really but,

About an hour ago my throat is starting to act a little sore and getting a bit more as time goes by.

I am also feeling a bit dizzy and kind of strange.

No fever. Will continue to monitor the situation. I'm hoping it isn't from the corner mexican food stand.

Damnit

100000 + infected in Ohio

because we are kinda testing. That's everywhere man.

It's based on the fact we have two community spread cases where we have no idea where they got it from.

That's going to be everywhere as soon as they start sentinal testing...

I'm usually an update man but...

Anecdote only:

So I live in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

At 4pm today it was announced that Ontario (Canada) public schools are closed for 3 weeks starting Monday March 16th until April 5th.

I've been grabbing the extra rice, pasta canned goods for the last month. So our family is pretty stocked.

Today on the way home looked like Christmas Eve. An absolute gong show with everyone buying ANYTHING. The liquor store was bonkers too. Think essentials...
