Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I have idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension so I know all about the worry you face when you go somewhere. I’m 33 and my parents still are so worried about me with everything. I honestly have stayed home. I’ve gone to the store a couple times but I always wear my mask and wash my hands really well.

I have to get a rituxan infusion on Tuesday so hopefully the hospital is still doing a good job with monitoring people. Last time I had to have my temp checked and face mask on before I could even go into the hospital before my surgery.

He just got cleared for the age of an EKG. It started off as innocent but they can still hear it. So, we get to go to the primary to see a pediatric heart specialist. He’s only 7.



That’s wonderful they’ve been very cautious for the hospital.

What great parents you have to still worry about you and love you so much! It just shows us our parents are the first heroes we meet when they fight so hard for us to stay healthy.

Good luck on your infusion and stay healthy.

I feel it’s also a terrible idea. Most people I know think it’s a terrible idea.

They said 50% for universal but I’m not entirely sure about Disney for capacity.

They’re trying to make it safe as possible but opening up doesn’t seem to be safe to me.

Glad most people seem to agree!! Haha

And that’s good they’re doing 50% but even 50% is still quite a lot of people for such a large park!!! Plus everybody touching all the rides and games and stuff. How could they possibly sanitize everything?

And yeah I agree!!! Even with precautions, it just seems like such a bad idea!! Amusement parks and sporting events and all those huge events like that should be one of the last things to open!!

That’s so sad he’s so young. Parents definitely are amazing. I go to my parents house every Saturday for family dinner.

They make a ton of money and could take more time off. I’m not trying to be a bad sport, but shouldn’t their customers mean EVERYTHING to them because without them Disney would be nothing.

Yeah exactly!!! I honestly think they just want to open in time for tourist season.

Which I get in a way but like you said, they make plenty of money to wait, and the virus is just going to come back with that many people that close together!!! Even at half capacity. Everybody touching everything. Amusement parks are already germy enough even without a pandemic going on. No thank you.

I would never go to a theme park when there is a pandemic going on. It is absolutely crazy to me that people are actually booking trips to Disney this year considering what our country has gone through.

Yeah exactly!!! It seems so stupid and dangerous to me. But I guess people want to have some sense of normalcy or fun or whatever but like.... go to an empty beach or national park if you want a vacation.

My husbands father has a heart murmur and a beating problem where he fainted one day in front of my mother in law when they were married for awhile and his brother also has the same beating problem. He had to have a small surgical procedure to fix it.

The midwife heard the murmur but after all these years it faded but it’s still very faint. Sometimes he complains his heart beats really fast with baseball or skateboarding. But the doctor, as everything..they must be a certain age, or meet a certain criteria to be seen by a specialist. Which is wild to me.

My mom and grandma and I still see each other weekly, and safely obviously. Family dinners are the best.

We rented a beach house. We don’t even have to leave if we don’t want to. It has an outdoor private pool and hot tub and it’s own dock that goes into the sound.

That’s ridiculous to me that he can’t see a specialist. So bizarre
