Ya what he said, Stay Healthy & Stay Home, it's the only way to beat this.
SS, I see your also from Long Island As you know it's spreading like wildfire around here and it's affecting everyone. I have 3 friends that lost 4 people to it so far and two of my own Brothers have it. Thankfully it looks like both of them will beat it but it's been a bad three weeks for one of them, he's a cancer survivor so it was very scary I have lung issues so I can't go out in public without literally putting my life on the line. For that reason today starts the 4th week I'm working from home and I haven't been able to see my son who lives in NYC. The only good right now is I can still take the ZL1 out and the roads are empty. I make sure and stretch it's legs every chance I get including this weekend. Nothing like HP to put a little fun back in your life BE CAREFUL OUT THERE EVERYONE

I just found out within the last hour that my friends brother died. Unknown condition but we believe it’s from corona. He had developed respiratory issues called the doc and they told him to stay at home. Unfortunately he didn’t make it. I feel sad for my friend who now can not give his brother a proper funeral service. This really sucks....I think I’ll go for a short drive because today is going to be a hard 1 to deal with.

I am in South Setauket, so pretty close to you! I am just up Nicolls between Mark Tree and 347. One of my friends/coworker lives in Selden. Nobody close to me, but some friends and coworkers have had deaths in their family due to Covid-19 or complications from it. Too many people dying, why can't people just do the right thing? I still see folks around here going along like it is just another normal day, they need to wake up and get with it! |

My Mom died March 1st and I truly thank my lucky stars she didn't have to see this. It was very sad but strangely magical to be able to mourn and celebrate her death together with my 5 Brothers, Friends & Family (ya 6 boys) I can't imagine not being able to do that and I feel blessed I was able to just a handful of weeks ago... For those of you in isolated areas I truly pray & hope you don't get hit like we are, DO THE RIGHT THING PEOPLE... |

Thanks for the kind words my friend. I’m feeling a bit better today and I’m wishing everyone the best. Not just my close friend who’s grieving.

For one, if you came down with Covid-19 in China, the entire treatment was paid for by the government. Also, to try to get people who feel they may be sick off the street they also offered money to those who thought they may be sick to come in to the hospital. Because of the aggressive measures put inplace with social distancing and cutting off parts of the country and communities a lot of people were kept safe. I know this first hand because I live in Beijing and I have been inside since late January. For instance, I don't know, nor have I heard of anyone in China coming downing with Covid-19. From all the groups I am involved with locally- car clubs, musicians, teachers and random friends, not once has anyone even mentioned they have covid-19 nor have they said they knew of anyone who did. This is not some conspiracy, because of the lock down, most people outside of Wuhan were pretty safe. In the whole of Beijing, with a population of over 20 million, there were only around 500 cases. However, from other members on this site, my friends and family in the states, I have been hearing a lot of chatter about getting sick. Its a scary time in the world and everyone needs to play their part in being safe and smart. The best advice is to act like you are infected and everyone else is around you is infected too. Disinfect, wash your hands and disinfect often and don't touch your face. |

Prayers going out to everyone affected by this. So far don't know anyone personally here in Minnesota that has come down with it. My sister and I put my parents (85 and 78) on lockdown a few weeks ago and have not let them go anywhere. My Dad is not in good health and would probably be a death sentence if he were to get it. We get groceries delivered to them or drop them off ourselves. The company I work for sells used IT equipment so are considered essential. I can do most of my work remotely (support our internal IT) so that helps. My wife works at Honeywell in their avionics. She is off this week without pay and will do that again in May. Much better than being without a job like many are. Have a vendor from New Zealand and they are in a very strict lockdown but it seems to be working. They have only had a couple of deaths and more people now recovering than getting infected.

I'm a test engineer at Garmin. 95% of my coworkers are working from home but I come in most days. Hell, someone has to support all those hiking, boating, fishing, scuba diving, and fitness products for all the people 'working' from home

Also going on 4 weeks working from home, thankfully I can.
Myself and a bunch of the fellas at work have all decided no shaving! Plus, no barbers or anything open, so I figure we will all come out of this looking like mountain men! LOL!!!! We do daily "check in" video calls in the morning for all the folks that worked in the same cube aisle, just a chat, some human interaction that is not work. Brings a little human back into it, plus occasional virtual happy hours! Yay alcohol! LOL! Starting to feel like an inmate. I can go outside when the weather is nice, take a walk, I live on a secluded cul de sac, but still feels awful confining! We do what we need to do, stay home, stay safe, stay healthy! So sorry for anyone on here suffering loss, unemployment or any other hardship as a result. Hopefully we will get out of this soon. |

Hey man just a little info that I found out when I was doing the "No shave" thing. The new beard made me touch my face too much, scratching, rubbing, etc. This is not the time to be touching our faces. Also, beards don't allow masks to seal. Of course, I got sick, so what do I know!?!?!?!?
