Coronavirus

ive cried today for the first time in a long time, period. I feel cornered. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a car salesman and financially they both need to keep working to support our family. I am immunocompromised and am extremely worried that this could be it for me if I get it. Theres 100 cases in my county and our Sheriff just passed away from it. My family is also one of those families that downplays everything and I feel we wouldn't get tested on time. I feel so scared.

I'm sorry...everyone is really scared and I was crying and having anxiety over it too since I work in a hospital and around those who are truly positive. Unfortunately it is completely out of our control to live a life so anxious all the time. Just make sure you are being hygienic and washing your hands....that is all we can do....-hugs- u_u
 
Trying to take my mind off things. Notice I have a couple dvds of the Tangled series from when the Disney Movie Rewards sent physical things. They live in Corona.
 
Wow our government is ****ing wack right now, they want some dumb crisis law that gives them the right to shut down whatever the hell they want (even libraries which a lot of ppl depend on and is considered important service). I sure as hell hope it fails because we have stuff under control and don't need more ass decisions on a whim from government right now. Luckily they got criticism so it's not through with but holy hell you have to check with society and other parties and authorities....

In perspective they can close down but not to complete curfews here unless it's like wartime? But yeah we don't need more now because they can't even give proper help to people not able to work or losing their jobs so...

Our PM is in ICU with corona right now. Probably a 50/50 chance he’ll pull through. I’m not a huge fan of their party but I’m hoping he recovers, dread to think how things will change if he doesn’t. 😕
 
Same as above. The PM of our country is currently in intensive care, and only a few days ago he was still running the country in hospital. I really think he ought to rest. Whilst I'm not a fan of his policies, I do believe he is a good person so I'm hoping he will get better soon.
 
today in my small hospital a covid patient went into cardiac arrest. i administered 4 doses of epinephrine, 300 mg amiodarone followed by 150 mg, and 4.2 grams of bicarbonate. after thirty minutes later we stopped chest compressions and called time of death. what an absolute ruthless virus.


time to bathe myself in Lysol and do it all over again tomorrow....
 
I wish people would pay more attention to cross-contamination! There are people out there wearing gloves then touching their phones or their faces still. Also the people wearing masks and gloves and using the gloves to adjust their mask meanwhile they are still touching their faces!! This isn't going to end anytime soon when so many people are that ignorant about proper use of these things. Another thing is, I'm so sick of living in a state where people think this is a vacation and swamp to our boardwalks and beaches as soon as we have one warmer day. I feel so awful for the locals in our beach towns who are being infected by those who decide they want to move back down to their summer homes during all this. On top of all that, there's a lady in my state who literally tested positive for Covid-19 in the hospital and they sent her home to self-isolate. What does she do? Go to a small food mart to get herself a sandwich, that's what she did and she believes she did nothing wrong posting it all over facebook. I'm so tired of this state and their stupidity.
 
Delivering lab specimens for a living (some clearly marked as covid 19) is really getting to me. Every itchy throat or sniffle makes me think I have it.

The stress is killing me.
 
Working on the front lines of this is no fun, even worse since so many people just aren't taking it seriously. Potentially deadly disease going around and people are still crowding stores for their overpriced juices and quack "cures." I mean I know on some level I'm asking for it given that I work in a store with a sizable vitamin area and all, but seriously.

Don't get me wrong, a good diet's not a bad thing to have right now, but seriously - get your stuff in one weekly trip! Or two, if you have to. The amount of regular customers we have that are still coming into our store multiple times a day, everyday, is just baffling. Sure, they'll chug ginger shots to scare the Corona away, but they won't do the one thing that will protect them the most. Under normal circumstances, I like seeing most of these people. These are not normal circumstances, as I do not want them possibly throwing their lives or their loved ones' lives away.
 
Well LA County are suggesting we skip grocery shopping this week :oops:


wow what the **** isn't current closing stuff enough...

also seems they got thru with that modified law thing here. as long as they don't close down libraries then im ****ing gonna be like Greta and strike outside the library
 
Saw on the news that eight people positive for the virus have died in a care home about fifteen minutes away from me. That is far too close to my liking. So glad that I was told to work from home.

Know the feeling. The lab I was working in is testing for the virus and I almost dropped a box of samples when digging about in the freezer back in February.
 
gonna have a bit of a rant

so I'm in the UK, at university and live in student accommodation. 3 of my 4 flatmates went home within a week, when lockdown started. the 4th, my closest flatmate and one of my best friends wanted to stay but had to rush home because her nan was ill (not the virus) and passed away just hours after she arrived. So I'm all alone, it sucks. I can't see my boyfriend who lives 10 minutes away. But I get it,I would much rather be alone than risk mine or somebody else's life.
And so I haven't been outside in about a week and a half, and the time i had was to get food shopping with flatmate 4.
Well yesterday, i heard the flat door open and voices and i send a message in our group chat asking if anybody is in. One replies that she's decided to unpack all of her stuff from the accommodation today (yesterday). In the middle of a pandemic. With her sister. Without messaging me. So I go off and say it's so inconsiderate to not even let me know, I have no idea where she's been (i remember her talking about meeting up with people when she was back here) and I'm going to have to bleach every surface again and I really don't appreciate it. My mental health is pretty crap, and I would have liked to go home which is 40 mins away, but wanted 2 weeks in full quarantine before i did as my brother has asthma.
And then the door opens again, and it's another flatmate,the first ones best friend, who is also packing everything to completely move out, rather than waiting until the tenancy is over, or before we get an email over what to do. She's with her brother, so now I have 4 people in my flat I have to live in, I don't know if they're safe, I don't know if they are asymptomatic, I don't know what they've touched. And they planned all of this together, and didn't even tell me.
People infuriate me.

I'm surprised you still have libraries that are open. My town's library has been closed for a few weeks now, and we haven't had very many cases either. My town does have a lot of older people in it though, therefore a population automatically at higher risk.

Well a lot of people depend on it..? I'm surprised so many are closed around the world because it's easy to keep them open without having them as infected zones or gathering places.

And our government is real ****ty so they haven't even made a plan if such services would be closed it seems.
