Meh:
For the older generation over 60s, WHO advises avoiding crowded places.

lighter:
Avoiding flu.

Don't touch public stuff with your hands.... use a tissue..... wash hands often including thumbs, backs of hands, wrists and between fingers...carry hand santitizer, stay away from cruises and airports..... get plenty of rest to beef up your immune system..... try not to touch your face if you can help it.

I always cough into my elbow... since the girls were in Pre-school cause that's how they learned to do it.  I'm  glad I don't have to get on a plane anytime soon.

Great.  Now I'm worried about sis and her family traveling internationally this month.  Lord, planes, airports and customs...... so not a good idea right now.

Meh:
Those are all good reminders Lighter. In Seattle, we are now up to six deaths.

I'm thinking about how I am going to do social distancing as much as possible. There are people who still aren't taking this seriously and I am just going to do my own thing as best I can.

We had a sky scraper shut down for cleaning in downtown Seattle. I definitely need to just unplug a bit but it's really hard to do that. I've got other things I need to get done too. I'm riveted on the situation though.

I think at some point people will get used to the new death rates and there will be so much pressure to get local businesses on track again that people will be asked to stop taking precautions.

Hopalong:
M is flying to CA Wednesday. There a week, then back for a week.
Then he flies back to CA for another week.

May have mentioned this...his DIL, a nurse, has a corona patient in isolation a floor away.

The administration is not honest and not competent and not trustworthy, which is adding to fear.

I think the article in the Atlantic (We're all going to get the corona virus) is helpful for perspective. Yes, it means we will all be exposed, some will have such a mild case we'll barely notice, and the elderly are more vulnerable....and here it comes. Some will die.

Not much we can do other than the recommended hygiene measures, avoiding crowds, and maintaining health as best we can. Not panic. Don't focus on masks. Don't stockpile yet. (I did order a few dried foodstuffs but not much.)

It'll get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. They may have a vaccine in 18 months.

Meh:
Agreed Hops, a large number of people do not have faith or trust in the current top Gov officials right now. Our Senator Patty Murray ripped him a new one over this. She said they aren't giving coordination, direction and support to states on response plans. It's every person for themselves.

The first patient we had in this area was at an Everett Hospital with a robot and experimental drugs he lived, after that there were 9 deaths, eight at one Kirkland hospital. There has been no reporting at all about the treatment they are giving them if any. It sounds bad but I think they are maybe rationing treatment with priority to military and whoever is special. I have no evidence but it's just odd that the only case where they talked about the details of care was the first case.

I wouldn't travel unless I absolutely had to.

There is a case now in North Carolina that is linked back to our outbreak here in the nursing home.. it spreads.

We now have Swedish, Virginia Mason, Providence, and a couple other medical centers that have had corona patients. So I think it's really important for people to try and stay healthy in general and not go to medical facilities if we don't have to.

Students are petitioning to shut down the University of WA. The UW is also a medical center area and high density, a big city school so it would be/ probably already is a breeding ground for the bug.

I've been at home though and no longer in the city for the last few months so I haven't been seeing in first hand, just local reports.

I'm going to lay low for as long as I can, I have asthma and otherwise piece o' crap lungs, so I'm screwed.

If it looks like Corona Drive Like Daytona!

... AND now we have an employee at an Amazon building who has Covid19, smack dab downtown Seattle.
