I had a minor event. Hatzolah recommend I go to ER to be tested. All heart and lung tests BH good. They did swab my nose, but now they are telling me that they are testing for Flu not Corona Virus.
No. They said isolation (entire household) for 48 hours after fever stops.
So they think you DO have the Coronavirus or that you DON'T?

Very tiny study.

Has anyone noticed if the study included people with serious life-threatening symptoms?

Discharge paper included a letter saying I can return to work April 1st.

Three of my kids have this. None of them had fever. 2 of the 3 had the cough before they lost their sense of smell/taste. The third never had the cough, but was the first to lose taste/smell.

Anyone know how long it takes for the taste/smell to return?

I've heard of slow improvement after 5 days...

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-in-russia-the-latest-news-march-16-a69117

Basically the same as the rest of the world (except that we aren't having a vote on an amendment to allow the president to rule forever. Yet...)

Quote
President Vladimir Putin has ordered an April 22 nationwide vote on constitutional amendments, which would allow him to run again for president. He said the vote will be postponed if the coronavirus pandemic requires it.

If you use an N95 mask, then let it sit for xx number of days would it be safe to use again? Would any virus on the outside/inside be dead?

They do keep 6 feet in breakrooms but other than that not much. My bet nothing will be done until someone tests positive.
They can take off anytime they want with no preapproval.

How can this possibly be true? How do we know that a million Chinese didn't die from this?
