    didn't seem to busy but I think that had more to do with it being 70 degrees in denver and full on spring here in town slush and what not but good conditions up high
    it was odd that the thursday night influx of people wasn't there, they did show up on friday afternoon as I was leaving but in smaller numbers

    remember benny front rangers only ski 8 inches or more of powder, bunch of size queens, they don't ski anything less, should be a good spring up here

I don't qualify for testing or need treatment, but attempting to self-quarantine until I stop spewing mucus everywhere.

    Maybe ski resorts are a hot spot because of all the runny noses?

    "Unruly Passengers Cause Flight To Divert To Denver International Airport"


    >>idiots.

    an actual flight diverted for something most do not go to the hospital for by many accounts and only seems to be a serious threat for the elderly.

    I love how little info is available on the case that's local to me. I still can't believe there are so many so close and nobody is doing anything any differently than usual but I guess when there's so little info what can you do other than carry on.

    Right now, we don't know what the name of the hotel is or what state it's in. We're told the staff member is now self-quarantining at home after sharing that they had some cold symptoms.

    As a result, Allen Brook School and Williston Central School will be closed Monday.

    Great. It's everywhere. And I still can't get tested. Hopefully they will test that person. Good chance what I have is a regular flu anyway. Not working today. Still in bed. Hacking up a lung, so what I got is turning into my usual bronchitis. Interesting coincidence that it is Williston. I grew up there. Definitely means this whole ratflu thing is a conspiracy.

    everything I have read says congestion (ie blowing noses) is not a symptom. But sick people still shouldn't be in the office.

    Isn't the wet cough a positive sign or is WHO just as full of shit as trump?

    It's too early to say this "only seems to be a serious threat for the elderly." Younger people die from COVID-19 as well, just at much lower percentages so we know morbidity and mortality rates fit a curve. It's not some binary thing. Scans also show lung fibrosis even in asymptomatic people but we don't know yet if the effect is lasting. We also know past epidemics hit pregnant women especially hard, increased post-neonatal mortality, and in utero infection had a lasting impact on children including lower test scores and below-average IQ and education.

    It will be years before we know all the adverse effects from this thing.

    Can't speak for other countries, but the difference in the quality of government workers between the us and France, and their attitude is amazing.

    Dmv in California, vs the equivalent in France. In the us, you feel like you're unwanted and a bother. When i went to the local French office, everyone was pleasant and helpful, even though my French is not perfect.

    So maybe the criticism of the us response to the virus is warranted.

    Lots of very smart people in government, the permanent employees, not the politicians. People like Anthony Fauci and thousands like him.

    This is the kind of thing that makes it kind of scary. I would say I am a fairly healthy individual in my mid 50s. I hike ski and climb just about every day. i rarely get colds. But when I do I ALWAYS get a secondary bacterial infection afterward. Maybe bronchitis? Doesn't seem like that would be an underlying condition, however
    “You have no ability to keep stuff out of the lower respiratory tract,” Taubenberger said. As a result, the lungs are vulnerable to an invasive secondary bacterial infection. Potential culprits include the germs normally harbored in the nose and throat, and the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that thrive in hospitals, especially the moist environments of mechanical ventilators.
    Secondary bacterial infections represent an especially pernicious threat because they can kill critical respiratory tract stem cells that enable tissue to rejuvenate. Without them, “you just can’t physically repair your lungs,” Taubenberger said. Damaged lungs can starve vital organs of oxygen, impairing the kidneys, liver, brain and heart.

    I said this before, but it’s so you don’t have to go out for more if you are quarantined, self or otherwise. A 12 pack should do, though.
