Working at home has been really something!

It is more work currently than being at my office LOL! Everyone wants to email, call, text or have a zoom meeting with me

Oh My!

I hope this slows down soon

Man, our local news carried a scary prediction from your governor. Not certain where he is getting his information.

We have like 15 minutes till local is on

Is it REALLY retired if it is still doing the same thing it did while it was "employed" at the office??

Only it isn't having to run month end reports and billing any more. It's like telling a race horse that it doesn't have to run anymore, just give little kids rides.

No one really knows for sure what will happen with this!

That's my take on things as it is an unknown entity. What is happening in Italy and France is far different from what happened in China. Of course I am somewhat dubious of information/data received from China.

Yes!

And testing like South Korea is doing could stop it very quickly

While I didn't fully trust China's stats, in the beginning, there were no other figures to use to calculate things. When S. Korea began reporting, I trusted their stats more than those of China. Still, according to the numbers, it didn't look good. I trust Italy's numbers, and they're fairly in line with S. Korea's stats. With decent data from 2 countries, it made it a lot easier to get a clearer idea on things.

From the onset of it in Germany, either they already have a vaccine, OR already have effective medicines to treat it, OR they are not reporting the numbers accurately. I don't include Germany's stats either.

When I began looking at our stats, I was showing my daughter, and told her when we got to 200 new cases a day, we needed to start addressing slowing down human movement, and contact. I told her that within a short time period, if we followed suit like the other countries, it would suddenly jump from 200 cases a day, to 500. When it jumped to 500 cases a day, we had 6 - 10 days, and that figure would double. If we did not get it slowed down, before it jumped, it would be too late, and we would not get it slowed down in time to stop it from overwhelming our healthcare system. It was the very next day, when things ramped up, and measures taken to slow down movement, and contact. I think most take it seriously, and are restricting their movement.

In case anyone missed it, Chloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that's been around for years, has shown promising results against the new virus. That's good news.

Well ..Dr called me concerning my husband and the test for his prostate. Long story short, he asked if we thought it would be best for him to go through surgery if he has cancer. He explained how slow this cancer is. How hard it would be on him with his Alzheimer's. I had never thought about it. Boy, did I start reading. Sure enough, it's slow. And yes, I know it would be hard on Scot. I did talk with him. He understood, I had to explain it a couple of times, but he says...no..no surgery. I like having him just the way he is right now..for a while longer. Going through what he would have to would have him declining even faster. So, no surgery.
