    "The owner of the shuttered Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia asked the city to pay market value for use of the location, said the city’s managing director, Brian Abernathy. Instead, the city turned for quarantine space to a Holiday Inn Express, and was in talks with five other hotels. It was also beginning to build a field hospital at Temple University’s basketball arena."

    Hahnemann Hospital is owned by Tenet Health of Dallas:
    14201 Dallas Parkway
    Dallas, TX 75254
    469-893-2000

    I sent them a nice message hoping they burn in hell.

    Is your wife at Murray like mine? She tests 2 days a week and they put that on hold for a few months at least.
    PTO is being used tomorrow unfortunately.
    She's at primary's. Working from home the next two weeks to do projects as of now.

    Uggh the assisted living facility my father in law lives in has the dubious distinction of having the highest infection and death rate of anyplace in CT. They've lost 13 residents so far and have 17 currently sick. The residents have been confined to their apartments for over 2 weeks now so it's not spreading among them but the staff is bringing it in every day. They keep refusing to lock staff in because people say they'll just quit before they submit to that and they won't have enough staff to run the place if that happens. We also can't take him out because we have no place for him to be in our house and we only have one bathroom, doesn't work too well with 5 people.

    I drive this high-functioning mentally retarded guy to work at the grocery store.
    He’s one of my favorite passengers because, developmentally, he’s essentially a permanent teenager and his baseline frame of reference is circa 1980ish. Imagine being fifteen without the newness and rapidly changing aspects of age fifteen...decades of experience at being fifteen(?). Something like that.
    When his parents both died, and things were iffy about whether or not he could stay ay home or he’d have to move or what, I would put on some ripping music from his wheelhouse, LOUD, early Def Leppard, Rush, ACDC...sometimes just rocking out on the way to work would be such an emotional release that he’d cry and hug me.

    His job at the store is to deal with bottle deposit returns...which are suspended for hygiene reasons. I picked him up yesterday, and I asked him what work was like with no bottles and cans, he’s like: I’ve been re-watching the red wings avalanche rivalry games from the 90s.

    I was kind of floored. Hell yeah buddy! Great answer, doing better than me.
    They say never go full retard...maybe never say never. Maybe just watch some old hockey games and listen to Ratt: Out of The Cellar at volume stoopid and get through the day...

    As for the otherwise: I saw a lot of out-of-town ambulances coming and going from the hospital, and a couple of heli flights. I think we’re finally getting our late start here.

    I been wondering about this. If you are sure your loved on will die, and choose to bring them home, what's to stop you? I mean sure you're risking your own health, but that's your choice right?

    That's a tough call for the workers. My live in girlfriend is in administration at a rehab facility and they do hospice also. A physical therapist there tested positive and they're waiting on tests for a bunch of other people. The facility has had some staff quit. So now my GF has to man the entrance for a couple hours a day, and take people's temperatures when they enter. I think she would quit if they locked her in. We both decided we will be as careful as possible, but we ain't giving up tickling each other ivories.

    Residential care workers definitely have it tough: poor pay, often difficult work-who wants to clean someone who has shit themselves, often belligerent clients and watching people they have grown attached to die.

    Yeah but there has to be a better way than to have the staff bringing it in fresh every day.

    Perhaps have the rapid test on site, but think we are a long ways from having numbers of those available to make it happen

    Anyone else working from home realizing how annoying their wives are?

    I keep thinking “thank god I don’t work with this woman”

    I know, take it to the Wife bitch thread.

    This really could describe a whole lot of posters here in the PR. Have your friend visit the rat flu thread.

    Typed it out earlier but when I went to edit it my phone deleted it...

    I'm so sick of hearing "wash your hands" after doing just about anything because unless you're home there's no place to wash your hands.

    We continue to get snow, which is great for the water shed. However, staring out my window and watching it come down is a bit depressing. Having skiing ripped away so suddenly will certainly add some excitement for the start of next season. Gonna be a long summer!

    Yes...insignificant problem in all of this...

    have gone to work every day since this started as our IT group does support and development for software transmitting patient data. this week the idiots for the building started checking temps. if we are that critical, why are we going out in public daily. there is not one thing in the past 3 weeks I could not have done from home.
