I will know if that person tested positive for it next week.Until then I am quarantined at home. On a really scary side note I was only informed of this information by accident, it appears that the person with the symptoms company was trying to keep it under wraps. Next thing you'd tell me is that nursing homes and the fed would prefer to keep the nursing homes facing possible COVID-19 outbreaks under wraps.

CitizenVectron Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Some details are coming out about Canada's emergency income benefit (CERB) that was passed last night. Looks like if you've lost your job as of March 15 you will get $2000 per month (taxable) for the next 4 months at least. Only requirement is that you made at least $5000 in the last 12 months, or 2019. No proof will be required (they'll check later) and if you've already applied for regular EI your claim will be moved to the new program. Oh and you need to be 15 and have a SIN (so all residents of Canada). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 4 hours ago, Iculus said: I have a couple of friends that work in a DC in Atlanta. They told me that they've done basically nothing. I'm at a Walmart.com warehouse and they have also basically done nothing. In fact they are neglecting routine cleaning, too. Dust bunnies are piling up. It's pathetic. I've been there since December so I really don't doubt that I've come in contact with CV-19. And if not, that warehouse and any other one in the country is guaranteed to be an outbreak at some point in time, even if if they do actually routinely clean commonly touched surfaces. Because there are always those people who come into work sick as a dog. Just two days ago in the men's bathroom some dude had a nasty cough, and was not covering his mouth. He just infected a few hundred square feet of area right there, and how knows how many on the floor. And this cough was definitely bronchitis cough. It wasn't smoker cough, or I swallowed down the wrong hole cough. Stupid mother fucker. 4 hours ago, Ghost_MH said: Exactly my point. We know some of the workers are infected, but we have no idea if a virus that can survive more than two days out in the wild is surviving the overnight delivery to customers. Instead, we have sick people that got infected from...somewhere. Many of whom might actually be doing a good job practicing social distancing. If only. My wife is an essential worker (mental health care therapist) for a company (mental health care provider) that is deemed essential and she's not getting tested. I'm an essential employee (IT manager) working for an essential employer (government contractor) and I'm not getting tested. The craziness around testing is absurd. In air from a cough: 2-3 hours On cardboard: up to 24 hours On plastic and steel: up to 3 days. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200317-covid-19-how-long-does-the-coronavirus-last-on-surfaces So you probably don't have to worry about the cardboard, but the plastic bubble filler and whatever item you bought could definitely still be infected with Prime delivery speeds.

I dont know the my last few orders have been delayed by UPS with the following message: "Due to global health events beyond our control, your package is being held for delivery at a later date." Most of the stuff is taking just around 2 weeks to receive from Amazon when shipping via UPS. Now stuff shipped with USPS is actually taking less time for me so I let sit in the garage for a few day before opening. Completely anecdotal, but those virus survival times are also the reason that I have been packing anything that is 3d printed into a box and let it sit for a week before donating to our local hospital.

Chadatog Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just had my co-worker give me a line of BS from whatever stuff he watches/reads. Tried to tell me that New York is going down in infection/deaths, that looking at flu models this should be over soon, and that models that have this going on for months are not taking into account that infections probably started in December rather than Feb so they should be 2-3 months shorter. Dude has a veterinarian license with a masters in epidemiology. I told my other co-worker what he said to me and we spent about an hour railing on the fact that with a BS in Biology that we had more knowledge about the outbreak than he did. Also they reminded me that our co-worker a few weeks ago said that the flu vaccine gave him the flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
