Guess he had just passed, and she was here spending time with her family, but is going back in 10 days. Sounded like she loved her life there.
It's pretty great here, not gonna lie. F's in the chat for her husband.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I’m not concerned for myself as much as I am for my new grand baby due in early May. I just worry about bringing it home from work to my family.
The weird thing is how few children are getting it.LIPSITCH: It is, but an important qualifier is that I expect 40 to 70 percent of adults to be infected. We just don’t understand whether children are getting infected at low rates or just not showing very strong symptoms. So I don’t want to make assumptions about children until we know more.

It’s definitely the case that the older you are, the more at risk of getting infected you are and, if you get symptomatic infection, the more at risk of dying you are. Men also seem to be overrepresented among those getting severe illness. The reasons why are a really important research question. One thing that also needs to be looked at is the impact on health-care workers because they are at high risk of getting infected, and I would like to know whether they’re at higher risk of getting severe infection. Some of the anecdotal cases of young physicians dying make me wonder whether they’re exposed to a higher dose and that’s making them sicker. -

Mine arrived like a week late, but that was a few weeks ago. They're 3M 6099 types, they're made for working with chemicals, but they're all amazon had, and they're presumable better than N95. -

The price of masks was insane on Amazon. Greedy m-fers. -

2020-02-29 at 2:13 PM UTCI got H1N1 and it was no worse than a regular flu
I imagine this is the same
It really shouldn't matter at all, I'm surprised the media hasn't gotten bored yet -

I got the vaccine as at the time I was just off chemo for lymphoma, which is an immune system cancer. The chemo was designed to kill immune system cells, so at the time I had a weak immune system.
Ever since my computer skillz have been off the chart. -

Merchants gonna merch.
Amazon sellers don't make that great of money, and increasing prices of respirators will hopefully spur production and all the other market goodness like encourage people to use up stock, delay purchases, etc. so I don't really have a problem with it. -
2020-02-29 at 3:42 PM UTCNo. If it gets bad or worse in Toronto I will flee North to where I grew up...and my private Oasis is forever protected from ALL VIRUSES over the years its been proven to be true...so why give a fuck?
So what if I get it? death is all about part of the process. Why fear the next logical process?
Oh good morning Tech. Good solid thought provoking thread. Seriously no trolling. I am just in a place where I don't really care...DRUNK AND SOBER ME. I have had a great life in many ways...sure a lot of hardships but I wouldn't go back
If the virus finds me, it finds me...if it does I will die..most likely. As for friends and family still alive that might catch it? I really have moved on from all of them. I might post a lot about them but I honestly can say if any of them got it I wouldn't care anymore. NO edginess here. If this virus happened 20 years ago? I might have cared a bout a few but there is no going back so its really pointless to think about.
I do enjoy reading others and your responses. Just being real.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I’m thinking maybe I should. It’s easy to say “it’s hundreds of miles away from me, I’ll be ok”. But am I fooling myself?
I was reading about the H1N1 virus. I didn’t realize it affected 59,000,000 people. Thankfully only a little over 12,000 died, could have been much worse. Sure I’d think differently if one of my family members were one of the 12,000.
Are you preparing?
A family member works at/for the CDC. Been done told- i didn't need to worry till she tells me to. 😉
