This virus is highly contagious and we cannot wait for a vaccine. We are screwed either way.

Jeez 107 fever...I thought anything over 105 causes permanent brain damage. I had a 104 fever in Peru, and was crawling on the floor. I cannot even imagine 107 https://www.mlive.com/coronavirus/2020/05/michigan-toddler-who-spiked-107-fever-finally-covid-19-free-after-nightmare-month.html

Virtually impossible. As soon as someone on the team gets it, do you have to quarantine the entire team?

It also has to be used within 8 weeks from disbursement. 25% can be used for any other "business expense". If used within 8 weeks for these delegations it is 100% forgiven. If there is leftover money it turns into a 1% interest rate loan that must be repaid within 2 years. I would love a 1% interest rate loan to remodel my kitchen/bathroom. There are companies that received this money and took very little hit from this lockdown. As a result they get free payroll/rent/taxes for 8 weeks and any profits can go right into the business holders pockets. The 1% getting richer as usual.

I've been paranoid to take it through. So I have been going through one of those cheaper car washes.

Does anyone know about going through a Delta car wash and having a Thule rack on the top? Do the things that wipe it down get caught?

I'm getting hazard pay and nurses aren't.

Hmm... First antibody tests in northern Italy. 61% test positive. https://bergamo.corriere.it/notizie/cronaca/20_aprile_30/coronavirus-bergamo-primi-risultati-test-61percento-positivi-85e8e36c-8a6b-11ea-94d3-9879860c12b6.shtml

Also spoke to someone today who works at ECMC as a physican in a specialized role. Said he has never seen anything like this in his life. Definitely not overreacting, he's been a physician for 25 years.

Is anyone going to do the antibody test? I'm really tempted to see if I was already exposed to it.

You have to have 14 days of declining numbers just to get to phase 1, we are not there yet?

I wonder if every country is going to implement the 14 day quarantine upon entering their country until a vaccine is found? How do you enforce that? Do they drive you from airport to hotel and leave you there? I rarely travel for more then 2 weeks at a time which would not allow me to travel until this is done away with. Who would ever travel with a 2 week quarantine?

Have you seen this? Are police going to be enforcing this in summer? This is what I'm worried about when going to other states. Police pulling us over for different state license plates. 14-day quarantine on people entering Maine https://www.maine.gov/covid19/restartingmaine

For $119 you can get an antibody test. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/28/quest-diagnostics-rolls-out-direct-to-consumer-coronavirus-antibody-tests.html

The first day back to the gym is going to be insane. Going to be so packed and people will likely workout for 3-4 hours. I can guarantee you there will be no social distancing occurring.
