Montana looking pretty good now. 

[Razgovory]

I am terrified my mother will get it.  She's old and not in the best of health.  She also doesn't have insurance.

[Zoupa]

Well, I have a cough and a fever. Fun.

[DGuller]

Are you going to self-quarantine now?

[mongers]

Zoupa, do what's necessary to get off work and recover.

If it is corona you've probably a better bet than the majority of us old, infirm or unfit Languishites.

Best of luck homey

[Zoupa]

Well, I have a cough and a fever. Fun.

Are you going to self-quarantine now?

Of course. Temp is 38.8, so not terrible I guess. I'm not working til monday but I won't be going in for 2 weeks I guess. I have to call the dedicated phone line to see if I qualify for testing.

[garbon]

Feel better!

[Barrister]

Stay strong Zoups! 



49 new cases in Alberta, total of 195.  5 in ICU, 3 more than yesterday.

It's spiking.

shit!  sorry to hear that    
I hope you can recover without sequels.  Take time to rest, give us news if you can.

Of the nine New Jersey deaths, four came from one family: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/03/20/new-jersey-man-4th-family-member-die-coronavirus-20-isolated/2882689001/.    I wonder if there is a genetic component to it.  Maybe people of certain ancestry are more predisposed to having complications.

So you're thinking it's an Italian thing.

[Fate]

It's not just an Italian thing. Spain is looking just as bad.

Most of that family looks obese and likely has conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and probably a few smokers/COPDers. And honestly that situation describes a lot of Americans. I don't think our average lower age than Italy is going to yield a less deadly outbreak because our population overall has a significant amount of comorbidities.
