Are there any coronavirus cases in your state not far from where you live now and what state is it. Are you close enough that in days you expect to get it to spread in your neighborhood and what are you going to do. I really worry as i leave in eastchester ny and my town is next town door to new new rochelle largest number of Conorvirus cases in the usa. Even more worry my wife works in nyc taking metro north to and from work. I need to walk with a hazard suit all day.

So in the meantime with this all cornavirus are you still going to eat out, maybe do some shopping and try to live a normal life somewhat. really tough to get sanitizor paper towels, toilet paper. cant live without that toilet paper, if that happens go to dinner to use bathroom.

At least one in my hometown and a road race is scheduled for this Sunday! That is just crazy and asking for a major community outbreak IMHO. I hope our governor puts a stop to it.

No, I have not been tested but I would be if it was free and I could do it via swab test in the drive through as many states have now.
 
There are cases in my state of New Jersey in the next county over which is about 50 miles away.
I plan on making an early run to the supermarket tomorrow morning but won't linger. I know exactly what I want .
After that I'll stay at home. I will have all the things I need for quite a few weeks.
If I show symptoms I'll get tested for my families sake as well as my own.
 
There are now 11 cases in the county-1 in Cleveland, OH area. I am in a suburb west of it but right on the border. I feel good or how this video says:


I don't get out much but do get deliveries. I have my hand sanitizer and soaps and Lysol spray! I think I'll be okay.

I just edited my post...not all in Cleveland just 1 so far.

You're better off avoiding public restrooms if you can. I only use one when I really have to.
I just learned about a contagious intestinal ailment I never heard of: "C-Diff." A friend has it. I was surprised that it's contagious.
 
I forgot to answer your question. I don't know if I would get tested..I think I'd probably have to be very sick to do it. Mainly if I get sick, I have some capsules to take that I got at CVS. I would take them and see if I got better first...I've already had some sinus issues this week and took 1 ibuprofen and felt better.

Even though I have some health conditions, I feel I am pretty healthy and have always had a strong constitution--I rarely come down with cold or flu even.
 
West Virginia is the only state left with no cases.

I live in SW Virginia, and so far there are none near me (that I know of), but there will surely be some soon.

Probably none in W.Va cause they're not testing anyone....thats kind of a 'back woods' state and the jokes that fly around about the people there are awful, i.e., pump-kin, incest, etc.....dont know how true it is tho.....
 
We've got at least 2 cases in my hometown now and yes I would get tested if drive thru testing became available but it still isn't.
 
There are cases a county away. It's not going to be a question of "will" we get tested. We won't have a choice I don't think. Especially since I'm in the health care field. The way they're talking, we'll be running out of ppe supplies to protect ourselves against isolation pts. If that happens then all of us in the facility will likely end up with it. We've had 24 cases of c-diff alone this past yr. So, I can only imagine.

My plan for the coming weeks summed up in an old song:
Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' captain kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

I love that song and have had it on my iPod mix for as long as I've had iPods. :cool:

Will I get tested? Sure, if I show symptoms. Medicare and insurance providers are unlikely to pay for tests unless people have symptoms or close encounters with this virus.

770 people were tested at the Cleveland Clinic this past weekend and many more today. I think there are 2 confirmed cases so far in my county but the 770+ test results aren't back yet:confused::oops:
 
I'm thinking I may have had the coronavirus exactly 4 weeks ago. I had all the symptoms, except for fever (the mayor of Miami reported he had no fever either). It was a real serious event, I even took notes on it. I had to stay home for days, even missed time with my grandson, which meant it was really bad. A week prior, my son had same thing with a fever. Took the flu test & was told he did not have that.

Anyone else been sick the last two months with something that might have been Corona?
