I'd rather just text or facetime someone and get meds. Like basically a drug dealer with a license Yeah telehealth is great for some stuff. Not everything needs to involve me sitting in an urgent care with a bunch of other sick people for some antibiotics. Just call that ish in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No weights, just shooting hoops, etc.. now isn’t the time to need stitches or a trip to an ortho. ...I did not even consider that. My gym is closed, obviously, so I've been setting up my barbell in the backyard. If my shoulder gets messed up again, I'd be SOL. Don't want to overcrowd a hospital for a slap tear and risk coming into contact with the virus. Maybe I'll go lighter on the weights for the time being. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those fortunate enough that my wife and I are still employed with good job security, but with how things are looking my $2,900 check is going straight to savings. That's the plan IMO. The people who need it the most are not going to be spending it which is the opposite of what you need to stimulate an economy. But that's what I am going to do primarily as well. We both have jobs right now but they feel precarious if that makes sense. Will save and only use the money on essential goods. Maybe order takeout occasionally to help out our favorite local restaurants but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I read a headline that Minnesota gets an A+ for social distancing based on smart phone data. Not sure what to think about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No weights, just shooting hoops, etc.. now isn’t the time to need stitches or a trip to an ortho I get it. I made the decision to continue living life to some degree through this. I've never had a serious accident in the shop, and have only had two trips for stitches in my life (both when I was in grade school). The chances that something happens are so slim that I decided not to worry about it. Obviously I'm being very cautious in the shop. But I always am, because I like having ten fingers. That doesn't change, virus or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need $24k in other donations before you even come out even unless the stimulus is tax free (which you'd think both parties would have advertised if it was). I actually itemized this year. Church donations plus mortgage tax and some other smaller things put me just over the hump. This could too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Some possibly good news. There was a small test group in France that shows a 90% cure rate of Covid 19 after 3 days and they were 100% cured after 5 days with a 2 drug combination. They are testing this in New York with results expected back next Wednesday. I don't know how to paste an image or I'd share the graph. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
