Given the slow response to dispersing tests, I can't help but think the confirmed case count is more a measure of how efficiently the state is testing than how many people actually have it (likely way bigger numbers at this point). On the one hand, that's probably a good thing---there haven't been ...

My XH had the kids for visitation this weekend. He texted me today saying he developed a sore throat last night and a cough this morning and should he bring the kids back an hour early. I said yes, bring them back ASAP. I wasn't sure whether or not to believe him (he has lied about being sick to get...

368 dead in Italy in a single day. Italy has now seen 57% of the deaths China has seen despite having only 60.48 million people versus China's 1.386 billion, though most of the Chinese deaths occurred in Hubei, which has 58.5 million people. At this rate Italy will surpass China's death count in 3-4...

Dear lord, what is this place discord.app? Anyone know? One of my relatives just posted this. m My ex-MIL posted this on her Facebook wall yesterday. Gods. It takes 5 seconds of Googling to find the Snopes article debunking it. At least my Trump-loving boomer aunt has finally stopped doing "it...

Every time I see Sigourney Weaver shrug and say ”we work with what we have” when it is pointed out that the ‘Virgin-to-be-sacrificed’ is...ahem...not, I just die. Love that movie. If anyone wants a good read to go with their self-isolation, I recommend Severance by Ling Ma. It's about a Chinese-Ame...

If people do that and folks who have not been able to get toilet paper use other things like tissues (no dissoluble ) end up blocking the toilet pipes the neighborhood will have a mass blockage. They're also buying things like baby wet wipes instead. I have an old friend from high school who's a pl...

Thanks for the updates everyone. RI, I'm sorry you're having to job hunt at a time like this. Took my son to jiu-jitsu this morning thinking it would be our last time in a few weeks. Only 3 students came! (For comparison, we had about 20 kids at Tuesday night's class.) If the classes stay that small...

Our schools just announced closure here too! That makes all three universities associated w our family, and local high school and middle school all closed. The one family member still traveling into New York City at least doesn’t take mass transit, but still stressful. My husband works from home 3 ...

Splitting this off from the other mega-thread, from about here: http://mormondiscussions.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=1220117#p1220117 Tell me about your lives under coronavirus / social distancing / self-isolation, or tell us about the virus if you do catch it. Save the posts on the actual spread of ...

Schools are closed here next week (and the week after is spring break). Just told my church and my jiu jitsu class I'm going to avoid them for two weeks and assess. (Note: at almost 28 weeks pregnant, was mostly just observing at BJJ class anyhow, but I will miss the humor and camaraderie a lot .) R...
