Less contracting work, more home work, less travel. Son in North Carolina probably had corona symptoms. He thought he had MS. His symptoms have since subsided. A 27 yr old friend of his is still on a ventilator (about 10 days now). I have a friend with cancer that has lost 60lbs. I'm careful for him.

considering how many people are in this state its not to bad here
We're hanging in there. Both my wife and I are teachers (different districts) and both of our districts went virtual in part due to having large universities nearby. So, we're doing the best that we can with the virtual situation and wondering what things are going to look like the rest of the school year.

Yeah, the urban people are all moving out of the cities to rural areas and bringing their baggage.

That's good. Medical shaming is pretty horrible.
I think County level is the way to go for public dissemination.

We have another four cases in our county today, from zero to 25 in a short amount of time.
We'll see what town they're in when they update the map, I'm wondering when our two college towns will explode with new cases.
I'm seeing enough gatherings where people aren't wearing face mask or social distancing that this small outbreak doesn't surprise me.

Seems to me, early on a couple picked a rural village to relocate (yukon type latitude, picked a spot on a map), chartered a plane, disembarked, and were immediately rounded up by the locals, quarantined and sent back.
Otherwise, on a local level here, no news is good news. Enough family working in health care and retirement facilitys, with no recent comments to raise alarm.
Update: 27 yo male friend still on ventilator. Considering an ECMO machine. Have since identified cancerous tumors on a gland in the chest. This must be the reason covid was so serious. If he survives the covid he'll have the cancer to battle. Life can be a bit#%.

After 25 years I have walked away from EMS as a full time job. The stupidity and piss poor management with this Pandemic made the decision very easy. Still work Part Time now as a Flight Medic and pull a flat bed everyday. Love it, and it pays soooo much more.
Hoping this will be over with a vaccine in the next few months and life can go back to normal.

The tipping point for me was the State of Indiana sent out thousands of N95 masks that in the end were faulty. They offered very little protection and it was just luck most of us didn’t get sick. When it was brought to our managements attention they told us senior Medics to keep quiet and failed to tell anyone to protect themselves.
I walked away from my full time job at the end of a shift and didn’t look back.

Wow, that is crazy. I've heard hospitals are hard up right now, but that is unacceptable. My wife's company refused to provide adequate PPE so she asked to be furloughed. My doctor already wrote me a note explaining that my immune system is too weak for all this mess. My wife was a CNA and then a LPN going on 20 years now, so I can understand that while the choice was easy to decide on, it wasn't easy to walk away from your career. Seems that too much of the leadership in this country is prioritizing profit over lives.

Colleges in NYS have generally resumed on-campus teaching. And if we remember back to our own youthful experiences, we're probably not shocked that lack of social distancing is rampant. Yet I'm not that worried.
I've read the data from an Oregon State govt health organization that makes me think college aged youth may be the perfect group to begin the path to herd immunity. They are amazingly resilient as shown in the table attached, which records the 26700+ residents who have been identified with Covid.
Perhaps the practice of immediately sending Covid Students home is the worst idea. Lets let them quarantine at the campus and not bring it home to Mom & Dad.

The one management position I’ve held in the past in EMS was short lived. I made decisions based on what was best for the employee. You know the old thought process of the employee is the hardest part of your company to obtain and retain. I was literally told that company and profits were more important.
“It’s your job to feed them the chit sandwich and tell them how much they like it”.
The SFC in me let loose and I was unemployed quickly.

Probably not too bad with the reduction in traffic due to covid. Are you on a team?
Medic21
Minister of Fire
Oh no, local work. I’ve had my CDL for 25 years. I won’t go over the road and I won’t ever do team driving. And the traffic is not lighter in any way now.
Not much currently happening with the pandemic around here.
Schools are starting in 10days, causing alot of anxiety for some teachers and families.
The city we live in has had 54deaths in total. Work is absolutely in abundance for home contracting, lumber especially p.t. is hard to find if at all available.
They smacked a 20-25% increase on it all.
They are keeping us prepared for a wave 2.....which I can understand......but we really never had much of a wave 1.
We all hope it stays away as well as the regular flu.

I have seen not so much as a sniffle in 4mo from any acquaintance here. 4yr olds who are normally sick from some kiddy thing going round , and their parents (nephew) who talk of catching pneumonia twice already from him (last year)- nope - and nope. I'm starting to like the idea of a whole lot less flu and other contiguous run of the mill crap going round. If anyone so much as sneezes - boink, outahere.
Yep, if flu gets going ,I'm sure that it will become a mess.
Australia is used as our flu season predictor and in general they have had a very minimal flu season. They are assuming there is a correlation with the fact many people are wearing masks and washing their hands more often than normal. And stating that the flu viruses are not overly powerful this season.....I hope that trend will continue here
