Coronavirus

[visibleghost]

it's like day one of everything in my life being cancelled/closed (or like, you're not supposed to go out) and i'm already feeling trapped inside my house. it's not a huge problem obviously, especially compared to other people's problems, but aaaa it feels like being low key self quarantined will wear out my sanity. especially because both my parents are starting to work from home a lot.

not having a good time at all lolz. my job hunt is at a screeching halt from all the closures and people being let go, i'm sick as balls idk with what (even if i wanted to get tested our hospitals don't have the tests yet. so i just have to ride it out. and i can't take anything due to my other meds.) but i'm staying away from everyone and thing, and i'm scared out of my mind because i have the worst luck with health and my immune system sucks but the second i start having problems breathing i'm going to call the doctor/hospital. i've been sick off and on (more on than off) for seven weeks now...this isn't fun. =(

I spent most time outside this week than in the last 6 months. I've been chosen as the one to do errands for others. I usually don't go out or interact with people, so it doesn't annoy me, apart that everybody else is at home too.

My partner and I have yet to show any symptoms after being exposed to someone who tested positive for Coronavirus. That was about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Things are looking up!

However, My county just issued a “shelter-in-place!” Luckily, we have enough food hereto last us a long enough time

the stupid virus has officially hit my state, in a town only 20 min away from me. and i work in a hospital.

Ten days later and we now have a positive patient admitted that we are taking care of. So close in proximity to the virus

It takes about 1-2 whole weeks before you show symptoms. Take it easy just to be safe!

I work at an extremely busy bakery and most of our customers are old people. I feel like I’m highly likely to get it.

Will do! I have enough Quarantine snacks to last me a good while LOL.

Just as a little info, according to WHO, it's 1-12.5 days, in most cases it's 5-6 days. Either way, please take care.

Thanks for the heads-up!

It's unfortunate that many viruses have symptoms that often depend on the individual. It doesn't help that COVID-19 is such a pain in to figure out in itself anyway.

My university has officially closed until the 23rd, and my sisters until April. This is madness... never thought I’d see this type of thing in my lifetime.

Following up on this, my college decided to go fully online for the rest of the semester. Pretty sure a lot of others are too. Probably for the best.

If you're sick you cannot stay home?? Here in Italy some people go to work even when sick just because it shows "they care" but we can stay home with pay if we are feeling unwell.

Unfortunately no, at my place we are expected to come in unless physically dying. I work hourly wages so if I don't work I don't get paid and our country has no plans in place for people privately renting (only mortgage breaks and stuff) so no work > no pay > lose house.

As an update though, I turned up to work yesterday after posting and my manager turned me away due to having a 'new' cough - I'm pretty sure it's still just the chest infection but she didn't want to take risks. However, I now lose out on an entire weeks pay for something out of my own hands

There are many many people in this situation and I hope everyone will be okay because it's a worrying time.

oh no this sounds horrendous for you! I know it does nothing but I am sending love to you to hopefully get through this tough time.

I'm kinda feeling the dangers of looking too much into this virus and falling down a rabbit hole. This thread is pretty positive compared to some online discussions I've looked at.

I just started ordering our groceries online, so hopefully we can reduce our need to leave the house as much as possible.

feeling the dangers of looking too much into this virus .

Too much information is very harmful to our society.
Hence the panic.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

my older sister has a cough and a bit of pain in the chest. my mum and i have a cough but no other symptoms. we can't get tested though (at least at the moment, depends on how worse it gets) so we're all self-quarantining for a week to see how things turn out. hopefully my mum will get paid for her week's work and my sister is afraid of losing her job over this but she's trying to work at home so i hope it turns out ok.

Also yeah, again don't feel shame because you are frustrated, unless you did something dumb on purpose like coughing straight out in the out beside an old person or stuff. No one wants to live on this day by day basis and just wanna see what comes next in terms in drastic decisions. Hope this ****ing crap dies sooner than later.

 

[WeiMoote]

So, any updates on this virus?

That's dumb. :/

"Please be informed with right info and be scared in the right way."

I see this phrase a lot in my country's media lately.
If you guys were letting yourself be informed with correct information, you would've seen already that there shouldn't be much reason to be so scared.

 

[Alienfish]

Also seems like they are cancelling ESC for good reason but man this is getting out of control :/

And yeah media is blowing things up, mostly because authorities are also not reporting exact/positive numbers and stuff. Oh well as not as they aren't like closing down 100% here I'm good I guess we need to function and make sure all the people get concrete and actual financial aids too.

I feel really sorry for those old renowned stores that had an old people clientele and people don't dare to gout.

from what i can tell, almost everything has been shut down here (sytria in austria), except a few things like supermarkets and apothecaries that were deemed necessary for survival. schools are closed, my workplace sent all of us (ca. 80 people) on home office duty, it's been kind of a nightmare, tbh.

you aren't supposed to leave the house if you don't really have to, but nobody is really sticking to that and the supermarkets are as busy as can be. toilet paper and canned stuff as well as noodles and rice have become a myth. well, no idea for how long this will go on, but i hope it all clears up soon. :/
