They aren't high risk from a mortality perspective, but they catch it and spread it like anyone else. Even worse, since symptoms for them tend toward flu or cold like, they might mistake what they have and carelessly spread it. Extreme social distancing is critical right now and it isn't just for people over 60 or with compromised immune systems or other chronic illnesses that make them vulnerable.

 

One saving grace, maybe, is that people who are asymptomatic appear to very rarely shed. Which is why checking temperatures became a rapid response action to identify and isolate suspect cases. If you start checking temps, 97.9 Fahrenheit is the better average for a modern human in a developed nation like the USA. In other words, 98.7 is a very mild fever.

 

China is finally not fucking around and what they're doing is very harsh by Western standards, but they do not want more economic damage from this novel coronavirus. If Americans don't take the call to socially distance seriously, we will probably have national guard deployments and forced quarantines if things get bad enough given how intense the panic has been so far. It's finally forcing politicians to act and with a national emergency, our authoritarian president has very broad powers.

Why are you writing all that testament? STOP the panic and paranoia. Data is telling us what’s been successful to contain the spread: suspend travel, close borders, self quarantine, DON’T stock pile, get out only for the necessary. Only we the elders are at risk of death. Hire or get out indiscriminately at your own risk.

I'm neither panicked nor paranoid. Data drives my decisions and my discussions as much as possible. I'm human and therefore prone to emotional responses and decisions, but I am fairly well grounded in data and plan to stay that way. All non-vulnerable people should be limiting travel as much as possible in the short-term. Once we finally get enough testing capacity to really see what community spread is looking like, then we can adjust and adapt. Vulnerable populations should self quarantine if they're able to do so. Look at the latest data from California, the majority of cases are 18-64 and community spread is significant. If people can't, they need to be very aware of their hand hygiene and social distance while out and about. Here are a couple articles about why extreme social distancing is so important right now:

It looks like all masseurs don't have money. Some of them do 6 to 8 hours massages in day.

It would be not smart to save some money ....[/QUOT

 

My regular is a smart guy and has other means of supporting himself. I don't think we have that type of relationship where I would send him money for a future credit and I don't think he would accept it anyway.

Of course not. It’s a nice gesture but completely unnecessary. Escorts will be ok. Today I keep seeing escorts getting reviews as usual. China has stabilized their numbers thanks to quarantine and use of HIV drugs, and they are now deploying a plan to progressively getting people back to work.

Why do you keep pasting here those sensationalist articles that only increase fear and hysteria? Yes, everyone should self-isolate, we all get it, what else? Keeping the ORIGINAL thread of this post: one should not go out or hire, especially if over 50.

Yes he is, plus it’s useless information. What do you get from it that makes a difference for your survival and wellbeing? We all watch the news and authorities are keeping everyone informed about the right things to do.

Well I disagree, and the “likes” on @LivingnLA posts lead me to believe I’m not the only one who gets value from them.

Calm down.

/////. Beware the Ides of March. \\\\\

Big cities no bars open, restaurants cut to takeaway and delivery. Yikes

 

We cannot play games here, mates

I am seeing reports that are scary and tracing contacts etc etc

 

I will likely take what I might spend on drinking/dining/hiring, and grab a Trader Joe’s gift card or two for regular or semiregular provider. I’ll mail it with a no strings note. Online gift could also work

It’s expensive to live in LA and if we all do a little something they’re more likely to remain available.

This offer is null and void if they own more houses than I do ?

Seriously we need to isolate our corporal beings as much as possible. I am in a high risk group. My heart goes out to all the people who may be stuck at a home that’s difficult to endure
