Lemon's drop-inn

[Shamrock Shamus]

I did, yes. : )

I'm tired. I haven't slept in three days.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Go get some rest!!

That said, I slept for about 5 days because I was sick and still do NOT feel like I'm rested. Just a lack of oxygen feeling...how do you boost that?

Shamus, have you been busy working or taking care of others or on a gaming binge?

[Vivianne]

Three whole days??? are you alright?

listen to Lemon and get rest!

I've heard that there are so many people out with flu in the health care fields that those left are having to work overtime and into exhaustion ...not a good thing!

[Vivianne]

My mom worked during h1n1 (pharmacist). It was scary.

And now thankfully they have a vaccination for H1N1 I believe. Fortunately they are working on a vaccination that should cover most strains of the flu, versus just their guess at the season's virus...hopefully it will work!

Your Mom should have a better understanding of the flu then most of us do. Does she know why they are putting up such tight restrictions for the corona virus? I mean I don't recall it being like this for the H1N1 (other then the schools saying don't come to school sick). Is there something they aren't telling us?

I think it has to do with being contagious up to two weeks before showing any signs of infection. That makes it very dangerous because it can spread like crazy.

[Vivianne]

I don't have the energy to type out along response, but the incubation period is a problem as well as China's population density. Cases are spreading faster in China than in other countries.

RESTTTTTTTTT!

Agreed.
Sometimes sleeping too long can make you feel tired.
Gaming is always fun.

Good question.
Indeed.

That sounds like no fun.
Speaking of, I saw a thing on a Reddit video, it was a piece of paper posted on the wall of someone's work. I don't remember exactly what it said, but basically it said that the workplace would not accept Doctors notes saying the person couldn't work. It stated that if people were well enough to go to the doctor, they were well enough to work.

Sounds pretty scary.

That's good.
Good question.

That does sound pretty dangerous.
I hope they find a cure soon.

[galled]

It's a virus, so no cure, but a vaccine is coming shortly I read.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

the incubation time and density makes sense...

I hate when work wants a Drs note because why do I want to drive to the drs to sit and wait when I am feeling so sick...and pay the extra co-payment fee just to be told to go home and rest! I understand people trying to exploit the system and use being sick as an excuse to get out of work...but those of us who rarely call in sick shouldn't be penalized because of those who abuse the system.

[Vivianne]

Coronavirus is also a concern to my mom because it's an rna virus, and rna viruses are known to mutate. There really isn't enough information right now.

[galled]

Typical! The few idiots ruin things for everyone!

Will have to look up RNA virus.

[npixelz]

Ah, ok. I didn't know viruses don't get cured.

Indeed.
Yeah that sucks.

Sounds scary.

Yup.
Same.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

that makes more sense now...if they mutate easily then it is more difficult to control and a person could probably get the mutated version as well...thanks for the info Viv!
