The office hypochondriac is visiting the doctor today. Hes always sick and his office is stocked better than most pharmacies so I knew he'd be the 1st to cry wolf.
He's old, y/t, and has many underlying health issues...real & imagined. So ain't nobody panicking cause hes always been the 1st to contract whatever is going around.

Called my insurance yesterday to get an answer about what to do if this happens ( This company is moving slow with answers) and what would it be considered.

Just received a voicemail that it would be short term disability but it wouldn't start until 7 days after a positive diagnosis.

Selenium is AMAZING. I managed a study on selenium administration during and after heart cardiac surgery and the results showed that selenium had protective benefits. Reduced stay in icu after surgery. Reduced infections. Earlier discharge. If I remember correctly. During the study we recruited a 80 year old man who owned and was still running a huge working farm. He had been taking selenium since the 70’s and was sooo excited to be in the study and told us we were way behind because he knew the benefits decades ago. He has a charity that sends selenium to Some African communities that had aids/hiv. He also gave his animals selenium. Some of the benefits below.



Selenium is used by people in the prevention and/or treatment of different disorders including cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, stroke, atherosclerosis, cancer susceptibility and treatment, HIV, AIDS, neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, pancreatitis, depression, and diabetes amongst others. Several mechanisms have been suggested to mediate the biological effects of Se and these include antioxidant defence systems, synthesis and stability of metabolites that act as intermediates implicated in diverse selenoproteins expression pathways oxidative metabolism, immune system modulation, DNA intercalators, kinase regulation, enzymatic cofactor, and gene expression. A number of clinical trials in recent years have provided convincing evidence of the central role of this element, either alone or in combination with other micronutrients or antioxidants, in the prevention and treatment of multiple diseases.

Someone from dhs job tested positive. Dh didn't have direct contact with the person. But he's teleworking the rest of the week. So me, dh, and dd are all home this week. (My job is only telework)

And another person from his job is currently undergoing testing.

His job is in VA, near the Pentagon. We live in MD.

The man sprayed his child's face and clothes with disinfectant spray.

The lady with the garbage bag attire has on a cheapie mask , but she doesn't have it on properly (not covering her nose).

It's not funny, these people are uninformed, but .

Thanks, one guy that passed is a dancer I know. The other two are siblings, one went to dd's school and the other went to Ds's school. I felt like this is too close to home but since dh and my kids didnt know any of them personally they all are going about their day and I am over here shook like Life is too short. That is another reason why I want to travel this week because I want them to have experiences that we all can remember not just being in the house all the time. Dh already said he isnt going and I can't take the kids.

Awww, sorry he is making this vacation so difficult for the coronavirus. Is he willing to make up for this with a similar vacation in the summer or something like that?

Spraying your child's face with disinfectant is dangerous. SMH

I’m in the middle of reading this thread and low and behold I got an email from DD’s school. Two students reported being in the vicinity of people who were confirmed to have the virus. This was two separate events, one was 9 days ago and the other was during the last week of Feb. Neither student had direct contact but one is being quarantined and the other seems to have been cleared by a doctor. Although they’re considered low risk, it’s a little too close for comfort, esp since DD has an event this weekend where she’ll be traveling to a different school.

So Ohio declared a state of emergency yesterday. I have a friend who works at Cleveland Clinic. They are sending them to work from home for a week.
I have another friend who works for the attorney general in Columbus... all travel and events have been cancelled.

Seems that in Italy as in China, children get infected but they don't get sick.


He says this around @1:30.

Has anything been said about Cincinnati? There's a big training event in April at Univ of Cincinnati that my boss wanted me to attend but I'm unable to make it. However, I think my boss along with a few big wigs will be there.

I'll text my cousin in Cincy.

In other news, my colleague just told me he is getting tested tomorrow.

I just read that New York has deployed the National Guard to fight Coronavirus. Is this correct?

There have been 173 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in New York state, including 108 in Westchester County, home to New Rochelle where the majority of infections have been detected.


Cuomo told reporters that businesses in the containment zone will remain open and that people will be free to come and go as they wish, insisting there is no quarantine.


“You’re not containing people, it’s facilities,” he said.


“It is a dramatic action but it is the largest cluster in the country. This is literally a matter of life and death,” Cuomo added.

I probably work in the same building as your friend at the AGO. As my coworker left at the end of the day, yesterday, she overheard a woman say that she had just returned from visiting her brother in northern Italy, the epicenter for coronavirus in Italy. I don’t know why she’s coming to work and not quarantined. Now I’m looking at er’body with suspicion on the elevators lol.

I’m in Cincinnati and nothing here yet. The cases in Ohio are in Cuyahoga county near Cleveland.

Yeah I would hate to be in dorms right now especially with a meal plan where you have to go to the cafeteria to eat or common kitchen/bathroom with roommates who may not live like you hygienically. I like the online classes for a while idea.

Thanks ladies! I just remembered that DH's family reunion is in Ohio, forgot where though. It's not until July so hopefully things will be back to normal by then.
