I often have that problem in Android but almost never in Windows.

I know many strippers who have made good money for years but were always unsuited for any other work. Unlike others, they were considered "independent contractors" (falsely) and like most escorts have no unemployment coverage. Being covered under Social Security and unemployment seems like a tax burden until it's needed. And then non-coverage becomes a disaster.

Amazon surprisingly has TP sometimes now. Also Walmart.com Of course it might be risky letting it sit on your front porch. Ask for delivery notification.

and alternatively, a ten-buck hunting mask that will both protect from most inhalants and guarantee you 10 feet of social distancing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082ND2ZDN/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B082ND2ZDN&pd_rd_w=20jNi&pf_rd_p=48d372c1-f7e1-4b8b-9d02-4bd86f5158c5&pd_rd_wg=At9Hv&pf_rd_r=GA9749M8K8YADS63ZZY2&pd_rd_r=f996dbc9-b067-482e-989a-8d977771d195&smid=A2J93BZ3LV569U&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExNDhKVzZaS0dUNTMzJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjczNjEyNlhMS0RGMFA3R1dFJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0OTMyMTYzVDJMM005TFFFRzNRJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I find Germany amazing. With a huge number of cases it's staying well below 1% deaths while Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Netherlands, etc all stay around 10%. Granted, it's median age patient is younger but hats off to a great national healthcare system. California is also doing exceptionally well for almost 40 million people. The economy is surprising. Even with the new 10 million unemployment claims in the past 2 weeks the official rate is still only 4.4%.https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf The new law pretty much reimburses employers for keeping workers on salary instead of firing them. And it also gives every unemployed person an additional $600/week on top of their unemployment check, which in DC is usually about 80% of your former take-home pay. So the official unemployed on benefits will be very fine. Good estimate of true unemployment: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/upshot/coronavirus-jobless-rate-great-depression.html

Thanks for being our guy on the front line. I'm wondering why lying on your stomach is preferred. I know for those of us with sleep apnea it's good for moving the tongue and jaw forward to open the throat for breathing. Which also makes me wonder if there are any CPAP machines being used yet as a step down from a full ventilator. Is there a certain level of blood oxygen on an oximeter that warrants ICU or ventilator? Many of us are getting cheap $30 oximeters to tell early if there's trouble. My panic point to get help would be temp over 101, oximeter well under normal 95 and inability to hold breath for 10 secs. (But i'm taking my CPAP with me !).

I'm in an urban area so when I go outside I'm now using a cheap surgical mask or a cheap cloth one. But absolutely I do not go into a grocery or any other store without my N95 on, even though it's uncomfortable. It's not as uncomfortable as dying of the virus. And it makes it hard to small talk with workers there I know, but while pleasant, their conversations are not to die for. I'm afraid my grocery store attire will soon be adding goggle-type glasses. There are $10 washable cooling-material neck gaiters/wraps that can be pulled up over the mouth and nose. have high-filtration, and can be wet to cool in the summer.:

those of us who are used to complex relationships know that Alexa can quickly be renamed to "Computer" or "Amazon" or "Echo".

That "Best Sellers" Healthcare category keeps updating with great deals on masks, thermometers, oximeters, etc.

If you go to Top Sellers on Amazon you can drop to Health Supplies where the top mask deals are every day. 50 for 5 bucks shipped right now: https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Personal-Protection-Dust-Proof-Spittle/dp/B085Y4HYKR/ref=zg_bs_hpc_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4QRGH8ZTVMA2851ET54Y Update: I got an email from Amazon these shipped 30 minutes after purchase.

In predicting the estimate for DC today, it came out there are 2 main models for predicting cases, peak time, and deaths, the CHIME and the IMHE. https://wtop.com/coronavirus/2020/04/coronavirus-update-dc-maryland-virginia-april-3/

Yes. 20%+ had gotten to be a factor in going out anyway. Somehow delivery seems more of a lower-set-tip business. Getting away with a $5 or $10 tip on a $100 meal seems a bargain. I usually do carry-out and having just a tip-jar is really a bargain.

The N95 masks are uncomfortable as hell, especially the ones without a plastic exhale valve. Little air comes through to breathe or exhale. The cloth masks or plain surgical masks of all types are probably a lot more comfortable to use even if not as effective against airborne virus, which is a thing. They would certainly stop you exhaling droplets in a cough or sneeze so they are a courtesy to others. Even if they were to only filter out half of airborne virus, that's a big deal and you're more likely to wear them. Also bicycle masks are sort of Max Maxy looking and are charcoal filtered.

It's horrible optics and loneliness. [MEDIA=twitter]1245886405131337736[/MEDIA]

"Sir ! This is a Wendy's !"

Completely understand. One of the things I hate most about this virus is that "you die alone". Family and friends aren't allowed around and everyone you see is in haz-mat suits and head gear with faces also shielded behind goggles. I've even seen pictures where the patient is also enclosed in a plastic body bubble with arm sleeves for medical attendants. So horrible I know it takes a toll.

I agree. I had tried watching Season 1 originally week by week, sometimes missing an episode and later trying to catch up. It's very very hard to remember the storyline that way. The pandemic has given me the opportunity to binge watch from the beginning. Even so I have to rewind often to catch some things. Season 1 took me 2 weeks at 1 per night. I'm hoping season 2 and 3 will be as good. Amazing how many of us are binge watching this.

My 28 yr old cousin posted his experience today: I received my positive test results this morning after over 2 weeks of dealing with the virus and being in self-isolation. At first, I didn't have any symptoms. But then I started to develop an intermittent fever (which means my temp would spike sometimes as high as 102, but would then go back down to normal) and fatigue. Overall, it wasn't that bad of an experience. Almost like a really bad cold, but I never developed a cough. After about a week, the fever and fatigue started to subside and the shortness of breath started to set in. I was tested last Tuesday, the next day I was STRUGGLING to breathe and I could barely move. I was on the verge of going to the ER (looking back now, I should have). Two days after I was tested, I was diagnosed with pneumonia and started to take antibiotics and decongestants. Over the weekend, my breathing did not improve so I was instructed to get an O2 monitor. My oxygen levels hovered between 90 to 95 for days before it finally got above 95. I'm 28 years old and this virus put me down for 2 WEEKS, worse than any flu I've ever had. The virus itself wasn't that bad for me, but the resulting pneumonia is and was extremely terrifying. Most people probably won't experience severe symptoms. But people who have compromised immune systems and/or underlying health conditions, this virus could put them in LIFE OR DEATH SITUATIONS!

Even when it's over ppl will have to finish watching the streaming series they started. That'll take me a month or two.

Fever is a biggie but the best test is trying to hold breath for 10 seconds. If you can't and are running a high fever then your lungs are possibly going fast with little time to spare to get to help breathing like a ventilator. The lung thing is speed critical.

Ambulance rides are often $1000 to $2000, Sometimes insurance or Medicare covers it, sometimes not. Each city/county has different rules on charges. Maybe it's best to research your area quick to be prepared if it becomes necessary. Some areas even have low-cost private ambulance companies. It may be good news to test negative but less good if it means a $2000 ambulance bill. https://www.consumerreports.org/consumerist/164-per-mile-surprise-ambulance-bills-are-a-growing-problem-difficult-to-avoid/
