The gentleman who died in Halton contracted in through community transmission too. So, yeah, be optimistic but also be vigilant. 58 new cases today. People continue to travel and go outside their homes for non-essential things. Until that stops, this won't stop spreading. I'm working from home till mid April. I have a feeling that'll likely get extended till May and perhaps even our schools and other businesses. It ceases to amaze me that some people think this is some sort of conspiracy. Nobody is gaining anything from this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I to am working from home until further notice. One of my good friends put up a few Christmas things, I know some people think it's crazy but honestly Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many and this whole watching Christmas movies & listening to Christmas music honestly does cheer people up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King James Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 People with other ailments avoiding the hospital if they can? There was a push to get people in and out. They are testing and letting people go home and then calling them if they are positive But it’s been slowwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Must be doing some serious testing downstate. Michigan cases soar to 787 with 4 known deaths. I've heard the hospitals in the UP do have test kits, no confirmed cases yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's a low risk activity as long as you're respecting physical distance from others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've heard China is starting to level off. Does anyone have stats on: cases, deaths, recoveries, and death rate from China?Taking into account one should be a bit skeptical of those numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pretty good site China specifically https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ You are right to treat them with skepticism. For various reasons I think it will be more telling to watch how long it takes Europe to turn the corner for a better idea of what we're facing here in the US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toro99 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 It makes no sense to think that the same virus we see ravaging Europe would simply stop circulating in China just because they have locked down one city for a number of weeks. A lockdown may slow the viruse’s spread, but it will not completely shut it down. If China is truly resuming normal life, the logical expectations is that this virus would surge again and begin to infect everyone who hadn’t been infected the first time. China saying there’s no no infections, to me, simply makes absolutely no sense and I’ve not heard one expert be able to explain how a simple lock down for a few weeks in one region of China would stop it in its tracks. They have a population of billions..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maneee Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have some chronic conditions, so I’ve isolated myself in an old trailer that my grandfather used to live up in the middle of Wisconsin to try to get away from the metro area. I feel fine but due to hoarding I can’t get much food! Unreal how people can buy up supplies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel fine but due to hoarding I can’t get much food! Unreal how people can buy up supplies. Misinformation, an out of control msm, disgusting social-media, a political war still raging. I can understand why people may feel unsure and scared. Hoarding and stocking up on things is a line of defense humans/animals have. An instinct similar to perhaps what drove you out into the boonies. I find it a little odd that the majority of people weren't at least a little bit prepared for SOMETHING. Your life is either too cozy or you aren't in touch with the basic human instincts... feed and defend. Probably a smart move you made to distance yourself. Beyond the scope of the virus itself, I think the next few weeks will be trying times to say the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
