There have been several excoriating emails from customers. It’s absolutely incredible how dense management is though.
They’ll come through saying “we have to do better” blah blah. I’ll point to the showroom and say “there are 15 problems walking around maskless right now. Do something about them”.
Mostly blank stares. Swear to god I work with morons. I’m glad to not be in management now but it’s pretty hard to contain my natural urges to just take over. I do though (I hope 
)
to the tune of that song from the lego movie
EVERYTHING IS TASTELESSSSSSSSS
what the actuaaalll fuuccck with this tea
Its ginger tumericcccccc
and it tastes like noooopeeeeeee
Last night a sinus cold just wrecks me, and now I cant smell or taste anything. I better get cozy in my dungeon for +2 weeks now… online assessment be all GET YO ASS TESTED ASAP.
Health care stuff closed on sunday, so I get to have fun cancelling things and ■■■■. If I am indeed positive, I have the tracing app on my phone for a month or so.
One co worker is getting tested atm, so was texting others all… you guys ok?
That isn’t on the list of good omens.
No matter what the test says, hope you get well soon. 
I had the chills at night for a day or two, and just dismissed it for stress (my body freaks out if im overtired or too stressed) and “lady flu ■■■■■■■■”. The first two times I thought I might have somthing was just mental health causing my body to freak out, so god, this is always hell figuring this ■■■■ out. Loosing taste and smell though… stress doesn’t do that!
Yeah, supposedly that’s the biggest sign. Definitely making the right choice to self isolate till you can get tested.
Now I’m just having fun with my altered taste and smell. I CAN kinda smell bone marrow and wine, and taste the “up-notes” of each, but the lower flavors are lost. I make bone marrow-y soup when I’m sick, as bone marrow is basically the material that the immune system is made from, among other things.
Damn, my pho broth based bone marrow soup, I can only taste the bone marrow high notes, the rest is just, not there…
Looks like CV’s been around long before we knew it
We investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD)–specific antibodies in blood samples of 959 asymptomatic individuals enrolled in a prospective lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 to track the date of onset, frequency, and temporal and geographic variations across the Italian regions. SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific antibodies were detected in 111 of 959 (11.6%) individuals, starting from September 2019 (14%), with a cluster of positive cases (>30%) in the second week of February 2020 and the highest number (53.2%) in Lombardy.

Well, that helps explain why it hit Italy so early and so hard then. The question is, how did it get there in the first place?
I’d presume the same way it did in the first place, just earlier. Admittedly there is another possibility, but that one would be… odd.
Is my tinfoil sense tingling?
Otherwise, it is a slightly odd entry point.
Yeah, I’d call it towards that territory - to be clear, it either came from the same source, or somehow two separate cases of it passing from animal to human in two completely different locations occurred. That’s well beyond merely improbable.
Or Wuhan isn’t ground zero for this particular SARS virus, but somewhere else that got totally missed because it was really early, and cases exploded in Wuhan before anyone realised.
That said, there are Chinese communities pretty much everywhere in the world, so it might be more a case of where can the thing incubate and spread most rapidly before local public health catches on and starts quarantining folks.
I hadn’t considered that one, but technically possible given we still haven’t found patient zero as far as I recall.
Pretty sure some of the other places that have done antibody screens on waste treatment samples came back with earlier dates, too? Granted, you do have to be concerned about false positives with the tests.
I don’t get the folks that b**** about masks and store policy. They ain’t gonna be in there long. If the store mandates a mask inside, is that short duration gonna kill them? Is their friedom (in vio of policy/mandate) more important than suffering that short period and getting their items?
Well, for them it actually seems to be. Freedom does not rule out responsibility, but the mah freedomz crowd has another take on that:
Older vid, but it gets the point across.
