They locked up some dipshit preacher for encouraging his parishioners to ignore the social distancing and claiming that that his church has a machine that prevents people from getting the illness. The man is menace to society.

Alberta had 3 deaths before today, but now we jump up by 5 to 8.

[Zoupa]

Yup. Your eyes water immediately. Unpleasant.

Status update Zoup?

Feeling ok. No fever, still a little cough. No resp difficulty.

This is getting kinda scary.  My brother thinks he may have, he sounds terrible, but his nitwit boyfriend thinks my brother is overreacting and won't let him go to the doctor.  I'm terrified I get it and spread to my mom.  She's over 60 and has diabetes and has no insurance.

Are you in physical contact with your brother?

Nope, he moved to Kansas in January.  I don't think he has insurance either.  I'm not sure about my sister (in Wisconsin) but I don't think so.  The only one who does have it is me, and I'm not really that important.

No, as much as anyone.

Good that you've not seen each other in weeks, over here the advice is strict, family members living in different places are treated as separate household and shouldn't socialise.

So tell him to fuck off it he attempt to see you or your mother.

Excellent, glad to hear that.

When you're fully recovered to remember to tell you boss to fuck off in no uncertain terms.

One not so good stat from the government daily briefing, the number of corona-virus patients today, Monday is 9,000, exactly double what it was on Friday.

I am a bit worried about getting this.

I am overweight, and have chronic bronchitis, in that I get a nasty case of bronchitis just about once a year. Nasty meaning 3-4 weeks of bad coughing, and respiratory misery.

Seems like that would make me a pretty prime subject for a more severe outcome should I get sick.

Several professional and personal acquaintances have come down with COVID-19.  Most are OK - but one casual professional acquaintance is on a vent in critical condition.  Survival prognosis unclear.  He is in his 30s and was otherwise healthy.

Your first hand evidence is will become more common place, perhaps then some people will realise it's not like the normal flu.

Have you considered entirely isolating yourself for the duration, difficult I know with family, but worth a try.
