I have friend on FB who made dramatic announcement about how he had Covid. He had previously been skeptical of all of it and acknowledged the 'karma was a bitch' sort of thing. He was gonna drive out in the woods in his livable van and self isolate and all that.
Heaps of people wishing prayers and healthy recovery etc.
He had come by my house 3 days earlier and dropped off a remote for a big TV he had given me a week earlier.
So I texted and asked if he really thought he had it. No response for 3 days. Then response that it was April fools joke.
Meanwhile I had assumed I had it...

Sorry, I meant to ask whether the dispos were open to walk in traffic. They are deemed essential in OR too, problem is with maintaining distance, so virtually all in Central. OR at least are solely phone in/pick up

You can still walk into weed stores in Washington. Might have some plexi glass up as a barrier. In Washington, medical and recreational mj are combined, so no way the government could shut that down without a bunch of lawsuits. And the tax revenue is a plus.

Dick move by friend... very poor judgement.
But it's weird, I've had your symptoms for over three weeks. Sore throat and headache, but they usually kick in around noon, then die off after dinner. They are not so bad anymore, but I've heard a few others say the same thing. Wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this.
Oh, and ofc my Doctor said they would/could not give me a test.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

@evdog - as far as travel restrictions - absolutely more could be done. Had a friend come back from a cruise in early March that had a confirmed case on board and didn't even get a question about exposure getting off the boat/on the plane etc.
Plenty of barriers/filters could have been easily implemented and our numbers could have looked like South Korea.

I quit checking this thread so maybe this has been mentioned, but these numbers seem to look a lot better then the last time I looked (maybe 2-3 days ago?). Certain doom was being predicted for Alabama, and now predicting no bed shortage?

"Merigliano said the experiment had allowed him to obtain a “full picture” of the coronavirus’s rate of transmission. He learned that “this virus is a very, very uncommon one”. With most viruses, Merigliano explains, “you become infected and transmit the infection when you are ill”. With Covid-19, “transmission in 50 per cent of cases is made by asymptomatic people, with no ability to detect the disease”.
This extraordinary rate of asymptomatic transmission has led Crisanti’s team to recommend very widespread testing as the only way to effectively track and contain the virus’s spread. Crisanti told reporters that he suspected that at least a quarter of a million people in Italy were carrying the disease, most with little or no symptoms."

On top of that, rates will undoubtably go up as a results of this.
