If weâre referring to Shakespeare here, letâs not forget that the reason Romeo and Juliet died was because Friar John, though healthy, was locked away in quarantine, so couldnât deliver Romeoâs letter to Juliet.

You are right. I had hope, but:
This is how the human species dies.
ETA:
Seanan McGuire may write fiction, but itâs usually more realistic than this. Only real humans are this fucking unbelievable.

Had an all-day meeting today. Started by refusing to shake anyoneâs hand, explaining that Iâm considered relatively high risk, and talking a bit about some basic preventative stuff like washing hands. At the end of the meeting, one of the women insisted on hugging me even after I pulled back.
I was the youngest person at the meeting. These people all have grandchildren. If this blows up in the Midwest, I fully expect not all of them to make it, considering how cavalier theyâre being.

I have a history of dissing vitamin supplements but this is a big study of (maybe) current applicability.
tl;dr a bit (400-800 iu) of daily vit D supplementation was associated with decreased acute viral respiratory infections. 50% decrease. Large doses were associated with increased risk of same, so no, more is not better. Not tested against covid-19 of course, but should (there is that word again) generalize based on proposed mechanism. Food for thought.

Glad to hear more testing gear is arriving in the area today/tomorrow - hopefully Washington can stay on top of the situation.

At a large supermarket, near a Costco, the toilet paper, bottled water, and only two lonely (bashed) cans of Spam left. It looked like the pasta had been harvested, the canned soup slurped, and few other categories. I wasnât doing a survey, just noticing.
I donât see how the water supply could fail in this situation, but hey.
