As a counter point: I literally just had 2 Morman's stop by my house, on my front step, knock on my door and then proceed to want to talk about God during this trying time. I am never one to knock a religion, but seriously?!?!?!?!?!? Talk about naive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennugsmello Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, BricksBrotha said: my wife is 7mo pregnant. We Self quarantined ourselves for 21 days minimum this past Sat. Not going to wait around and let people with alterior motives tell you what to do. You alone need to be your own biggest health advocate. Right there with you man. Wife is in first trimester with our third. Scary stuff, compounded by how little we know about this and pregnancy. Is she going to have a natural birth or C-section? Mine will need a C-section which is a bit concerning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's not all that tough to imagine China going to basically 0 cases. They have the ability to take away rights and lock people in their homes. Their government would have no issues shooting you if you broke quarantine. This may have led to thousands of unreported deaths, as people may have simply died at home. Spoiler: it's also tough to imagine China lying about everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is the last government in this world I'd trust. It's also the last government in this world that has official concentration camps. Nobody mentions that! Where are the values we all speak so highly of? The minimum we can do is to inform people about this present genocide in the "modern" 21st Century. Google search the Uyghurs. They are a minority there. Millions of people trapped, enslaved, slaughtered & raped. I don't want to imagine how Covid-19 hit them there. No medical treatment what so ever, even before the virus. Poor guys. The chinese press won't write a word about their horrible situation. How can anyone in the right mind trust these numbers from a communist killer-regime? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkalin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Well Apple has closed all its retail stores except for Greater China. Which, to me, implies that China is doing better. So hopefully they are telling the truth. But why throw out reporters unless you're trying to hide something. Who to believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between this and Amazon now limiting new FBA shipments to essentials, this should be good times for FBM sellers until the post office goes down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our hospital stay was intense, especially when a nurse made the mistake of revealing that they had their first confirmed case our first day there. We have had to make a lot of choices that potential visitors have sometimes questioned as extreme ("Okay, but can't I just..."), but as you said, it's about protecting ourselves and the babies. You did the right thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood/serum transfusion from recovered patients have known to significantly reduce the impact of exposure and mitigate symptom and reduce recovery time. Not a vaccine or a cure; but will definitely help recovery and help/prevent extreme cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now in Iowa most places are at 4 weeks of school shutdown, anticipating return late April. Obviously, that could change, as it did for Kansas. I'm with you my fellow midwestern friend.
