I haven't been out much the past 2 weeks but I can imagine. I see way less traffic and cars driving around during the day. I'm heading up to Orillia in an hour to ride this thing out before it really goes south here.

It seems only a matter of time before the rest of the country follows suit. I'm already getting stir crazy and I've only been working from home 4 days.
Stay strong, brother.
Now that the auto manufacturers have closed down production, I'm waiting for my company to eventually close for a bit. Right now we're running gangbusters; all of our sales are tied to launches, and our product has to be @ their destination before the launch. TLDR: We don't sell directly to the consumer, so we theoretically have 3-6 months before we would need to stop production. Who knows if that actually happens.

You too brother! It is amazing how much this is impacting so many different industries in so many ways.
The uncertainty of it all is the worst part I think. My industry has been hit hard as well and we're scrambling right now to connect with clients cancelling events to see if/how we can help them get through this. I am glad I can work from home but I'm not sure how long our business is sustainable this way.

I just hope the United States Hello Fresh Service (USHFS) will keep shipping me out delicious meals to make.
I am serious. The wife and I are super impressed with the quality of Hello Fresh.

New York is testing for coronavirus as thoroughly as anyone and has just issued a "shelter in place" order. They're now our ideal case study: if the number of new cases don't level off within a month, I think it's time to just let everyone get back to work and school: we'll all catch it regardless.

Yes we need to see if it holds up when more trials are done. My hope is that we can find a cocktail of old drugs that will work. Though I saw an article about a cocktail of HIV drugs that didn't work in China
HIV drugs didn’t work as a coronavirus treatment in a clinical trial
Antiviral HIV drugs “showed no benefit” when given to patients severely ill with COVID-19.
www.sciencenews.org
So something promising can evaporate.
And as I said we should be weary of companies right now. The fact that its cheap means a company can buy a shit ton of it, say its a cure, get hype of people really wanting to believe.
In World War Z thats what they did. Since they called the virus African rabbies, they found a rabbies drug and packaged it as the "cure" and since the US wanted a cure the FDA passed it along.
World War Z is my guideline for the virus LOL.
From the article I linked though
A less toxic version of chloroquine called hydroxychloroquine prevented SARS-CoV-2 from easily infecting monkey cells in lab tests, researchers report March 18 in Cell Discovery.

I kept reading that as "morality," which is probably true also.

I don't understand this. China has quarantined Wuhan for 2 months now.

So a bunch of people just had their wedding on Monday and 4 people tested positive.
Idiots. Now that entire part of the city is under lockdown.

First reported case was November 17, 2019. Wuhan lockdown began January 23, 2020 after over 2 months of Chinese denials and damage control compliments of the WHO.

The implication that China contained this thing with *magic*.
In reality, they've had the most aggressive containment response in the history of the planet.

Oh, I fully agree they had the most aggressive containment.
My implication is that it wasn't as comprehensive as they are reporting (meaning, they actually had far more cases and deaths) and it wasn't as humane as we are assuming (meaning, they resorted to horrifying measures to pull off some semblance of "containment" for the sake of outward appearance).

We will still have hope with SK/Germany/Japan.
SK took measures, be prepared for phone tracking and social isolation, but they didn't pull a China. They didn't weld people into their homes, beat people on the street, etc....
An aggressive contaimnet strategy is required, but you don't have to go full China. China just went full on nuts because they wanted to cover up what was going on. An authoritarian government only knows how to act in an authoritarian manner.

This is why you shouldn't go out if you don't have to
And he is right. People have engineered every aspect of their life to make it easy to do on their sofa, yet when asked to stay inside, they won't.

Has that been established? I mean specifically for COVID19?
Generally speaking about coronaviruses, you can't become immune from the common cold because the common cold is caused from about 200 different strains of corona virus.
Specifically speaking, COVID19 is just one strain(as far as we know), and theoretically could be defended against.

Interesting post from another forum
The interesting thing is the "feeling hungover". That generally means they are really dehydrated.
I have also being dealing with feeling like I have had a weight on my chest for over a month. Its allergies for me as I can't imagine having this virus for over a month with no other issue.

The media are experts in virology and Coronavirus they can help the goverment, in fact they should be leading protocols, those reporters have more knowledge than the doctors behind Trump.
