Anybody want a Corona?

That’s the thing. I looked up typhoid when I came home. It’s treated with antibiotics.
They gave me nothing.
Just an appointment for Tuesday morning for more bloods and an x ray

I’m not kidding.

see folks, this is why the NHS sucks and centralized health care shouldn't be introduced to America. I hope they learn their lesson!

thanks for the heads up on this one, wife flies back from Aspen today

I'm in Denver right now. Apparently there are 3 cases now according to local news

[dimejinky99]

Yeah well I'll still take my shitty healthcare if they give me antibiotics for typhoid

The plot thickens further. They just called me with different results. A complication. I have to go in now.

Eh no. I’m busy. (I actually am )

That’s in Britain Bune.

Ireland doesn’t have the NHS. Just a similar model.

yea most cases, it seems, are originally coming back negative but upon further review and testing turn out to be positive.

I’ve read this loads too.

There no way this is a regular flu I’ve been through the ringer the last week especially. But I’m way better now. I’ll take my tim getting to them just as they did coming back to me.

Lack of access to healthcare kills people.


Sorry I couldn’t think of a zinger headline

So I've remained mum on this, but for the last two years, my MiL has been dealing with these ultra-rare strains (two strains that often work in tandem) of bacteria in her lungs. There's no known cure, and she's been on a drug trial with mixed results. I'm starting to get worried about the impacts of COVID19 on her. The doc says there's a high probability it would kill her.

My brother has spina bifida, and suffered a terrible infection in his lungs due to a shunt detachment back in the 80’s. His wife is a nurse, who will be unable to call in sick and will be repeatedly exposed. His death, after a point, becomes probable.

I missed this. Fuck.

That puts all of it into stark relief.

So many people I know shrugging this off and saying well a regular flu kills more people every year blah blah

Try living in these headlights.

Fuck.

Hope it works out for the best McP

Yeah, I'm not necessarily worried about myself but my mom, who's otherwise healthy, is 78.

I think you should probably go back as soon as possible, dime.

Confirmed case in Tulsa, which is about 90mi away from me.

SXSW cancelled

fuck. I did a great job of selling Burning Cat but I bet it's going to be cancelled as well.

SXSW cancelled

Wow. I have lots of service industry friends in Austin who count on that income every March, but it's the right thing to do.

[Self]

Teetering between let's lock everything down and let's just get it over with.

Dude in New Hampshire didn't give a flying rat's ass. Should we kill him or kiss him?
