    Did you read the Fox News one and the lack of stating that Dr's were having to choose who gets to breathe and who doesn't?
    My issue wasn't with the story or who told it, it was the false claim embedded within it.

    You skipped over or ignored it, how many did not and when it comes up will argue that they read somewhere Dr's were already being forced to choose who lives and who doesn't.

    Simple falsehood even after Dr. Birx came out and stated it not true to the nation 2-3 days ago. Irresponsible fear mongering so I stopped reading at that point, could not care less if the rest of it praised Trump, they lost credibility at that point for me.

    Talk about a severe psychological powder keg. Another reason to stay at home. Defend family and property.

    So Cuomo said construction workers on the stay home list...EXCEPT forgot to tell the public he gave the decision to school districts to mandate what they think is vital and non vital construction. Hubby and son forced back to work by the school districts. Mind you guys travelling through several counties back and forth and having to handle material and work in close contact. Making sub contractors bring their guys from several areas to do the same. FU. Cuomo. I suppose only down state workers are important.. How long does the virus remain on surfaces,maybe custodial will find every area that was touched before kids return.

    What about lower body bodily fluids? Asking for a friend whose wife may have concerns.

    From the CDC web page:

    Q: Which body fluids can spread infection?

    A: SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in upper and lower respiratory tract specimens, and SARS-CoV-2 virus has been isolated from upper respiratory tract specimens and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in blood and stool specimens, and SARS-CoV-2 virus has been isolated in cell culture from the stool of some patients, including a patient with pneumonia 15 days after symptom onset. The duration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in upper and lower respiratory tract specimens and in extrapulmonary specimens is not yet known but may be several weeks or longer. Duration of several week or longer has been observed in cases of MERS-CoV or SARS-CoV infection. While viable, infectious SARS-CoV has been isolated from respiratory, blood, urine, and stool specimens, viable, infectious MERS-CoV has only been isolated from respiratory tract specimens. It is not yet known whether other non-respiratory body fluids from an infected person including vomit, urine, breast milk, or semen can contain viable, infectious SARS-CoV-2.

    I don't want to know all the viruses and nasty things Ive contracted over the years. All of us have gotten things and never even went to get tested or to the doctor.

    People here are wanting to use vacation time to stay at home. I keep asking them what they're going to do for the other 51 or more weeks.

    It's been confirmed in IL since January 24th, I still do not personally know anyone that is infected. I discount friends of friends and even those state that they didn't have the test but are pretty sure they have it.

    I'm not downplaying the severity of it for some or the strain it will put on hospitals, but I think the mental spreading of this is higher than the actual virus itself.

    I can't trust the IL numbers because they are not changing the number of current cases as people recover or die. I guess Pritzker somewhat addressed this yesterday saying that it was hard to do because people who self quarantined are not calling up and saying they are clear or something.
