    My relatives are doctors too. They're tired and drained like you said. One of them is a scientist at RITM. They haven't stopped working since the first sample came in. They're all using their own cash to purchase supplies.

    I know the feeling. My parents are both doctors. My sister is a doctor. My wife is a doctor. We've been taking care of our family all while juggling our duties as doctors, taking care of complete strangers. It's difficult, but it's a calling. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. It's not even lucrative as a profession, but it's a calling.

    Mm....no significant surge capacity being built by the government (field hospitals to at least accomodate the quarantine of mild cases suspected or otherwise).

    In New York, the governor there says they need 35,000 respirators (mech vents) now if they are to avoid the Italy tragedy. Companies like GM are stepping in (by switching from car production to mech vents).

    Note well: Always ask your healthcare provider if a higher dose of vitamin C is good for you.

    mm...beyond the really bad optics and the wrong message, the emergency funds being prepared by the government may not be enough to feed just how many people are there in Luzon. If the ECQ is extended for another month, what happens?

    My daughter said her stepfather-in-law started boarding up some of their windows and doors. She asked if there was a threat from people roaming the woods to rob or threaten homeowners. He said no. He’s boarding up because bears might break into homes. Because of the coronavirus lockdown in Virginia no one is now going out to leave scraps of food for bears, deer, chipmunks, squirrels and other forest denizens. Can’t have the critters raiding pantries though, and them are skilled thieves.

    My daughter sighed in relief. She told us through video call she was expecting the emergence of another threat she was so afraid of: zombies. I told her she watches too much TWD and reruns of World War Z and Train to Busan.

    Virginia has had 120 cases already and 2 deaths but all of them in Richmond. They’re more than 50 miles away from the center though.

    March 18

    Pimentel has fever of about 38 degrees Celsius. He says he also has a sore throat, but no difficulty breathing.

    March 20

    Pimentel tests for coronavirus.

    March 24

    At around 6 to 7 pm, Pimentel and wife Kathryna check in at the Makati Medical Hospital. Kathryna is due to give birth the following day, March 25. The Pimentels do not reach the delivery room

    Pimentel says that at around 9 pm, the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine calls him to inform him of the positive test result.

    "I told the OB even before I told my wife. Then I left her in the hospital. I never went inside the delivery room," Pimentel says.

    :mad:

    Am not going to sweeten the proverbial sour pot but MF idiot had viral symptoms and still went with his wife to the hospital? What does it say about physical distancing from his very pregnant wife who is about to give birth? Or self-isolating himself which he has been doing when he got the chills and fever? Or that he was lucky to get tested at all and STILL had to break contamination protocols?

    Muthafackin’ liar! While he’s been letting his balls do the talking, we’re in here at home PUMs and all and doing everything there is to do about following protocols. The bastard should be shot, no, that would be way easy and fast. Hey mathafacker, take a look at this and tell me are you feeling the love?
