Well there goes my weekend plan.

^ you are a real special case obdano.

its well known entitled and careless people like you are the ones spreading this around.

we can only hope that info about corona and your local closure as made by sensible adults make you rethink your choices.

I could ski while maintaining social distance my man.

yes you can.

but you can't ... in the parking lot, paying, the chalet, the lifts, the apres hot coco joint, the gas station on the way, etc. etc. etc.

those are needless and careless risks at the moment. and if you have been acting this way they say its very likely you are a typhoid obdano by now regardless.

try to use better common sense for awhile.

Hey everyone, maybe just stay the fuck out of Coconino County (or anywhere, really) for the time being.

Agreed.

The US is at greater risk because too many people put themselves ahead of their country.

Boys I have been following this since before most people even knew it existed. Dont ask why, I have an affinity for morbid epidemic news, its addicting.

Im glad you guys are concerned but there is also no reason to go into a wild panic.

You do not need to shut yourselves into your homes at the moment. In fact I would recommend taking advantage of the spring weather before we end up locked in our homes like Italy, I think you got another week to 10 days or so.

But there is no reason to get all bent out of shape about a random guy in a state with only (now 20) known cases going to a mostly empty (now closed) ski resort in a town with 0 cases.

Its just a bit much

If you live in NYC, it's highly likely that we'll be ordered to "shelter in place" in less than 48 hours:

Should've happened already.

umm yeah, there was a time when nyc had 20 known cases too. anyway, i dont know what you think you know, but its most certainly nothing about what a pandemic is. prevention is crucial. go read up on that. also the part about you being an unknown carrier and out in public situations for no good reason. not to mention now doubling down and boasting about it here on social media. that behavior just reeks of being entitled and uncaring at best.

i mean of course yes go out out and enjoy nice weather for a bit, but make it before a grocery errand or something, avoid people and stay at home for now.

young people are in a lot more trouble with this than they initially thought or hoped.

belgium doc says lung scans of infected younger people are terrifying:

This idea seems to be spreading like a virus:

From my HOA

Its amazing how they just dont get it

And if, as in the past, they don't want to go into a shelter? Part of the reason is bans or controls on drug and alcohol use in shelters. Others just abhor being controlled and prefer independent living even outside.

Then there's the problem of shelters having large rooms holding many more than 10 people, contrary to all the infectious disease expert advice.

And finally there's the question of damage done to property housing them by these addicted, mentally ill people. Will the city and state guarantee to cover all damage? And some churches especially are irreplaceable architectural gems--at least one is suspected of having been burned to the ground by homeless people being sheltered in its basement.

Still, if SF can sweep the streets and sidewalks now, it will have a hard time explaining why it can't do that when normal times return.

Not trying to downplay this in any way shape or form, but it sounds like the young people in question here are just one's who are seriously ill and have come to see this doctor seeking treatment.

Of the people that do get sick up to 20% of them end up hospitalized.

That is really the big deal with this illness. It requires a lot of intensive care and its easy to overwhelm the health system.

I know... but the headline of that article, at least to me, made it sound as if the lung scans were terrifying to the doctor across the board regardless of the severity of the infection, and I just wanted to make the clarification that the doctor was referring to those with severe infections.

I don't know if Norway has an equivalent to HIPAA (or if that even matters?), but we probably also don't know if the younger people seeking treatment are immunocompromised.

Side note: Some studies indicated that the rate of fatality among diabetics after contracting the virus was around 7.3%, but didn't appear to distinguish between people with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. As anyone with either type will tell you (I'm a Type 1...), there's significant differences between the two.

There will be a decision on a shelter-in-place announcement for NYC in the next 48 hours per the Mayor's Twitter feed. The hubby and I just did a mad dash to the liquor store just in case.

Finally somebody in this thread with the right priorities.
