Hannity just said that he's heard that quarantined Senators are planning to vote soon in Hazmat suits.
So that's where you get your info from.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

I hope she's right.

When will people that had symptoms, are going to be able to get a blood test to see if it has antibodies.

No. Not worth the 1% chance.
The pain I'm going through the last week it's just not worth the risk IMHO

will they serve food? Hard to eat with a mask.

The baby has a mask...

Many health care workers are sick even with a mask, and a mask doesn’t work with a beard so don’t rely on your mask to much.

Personally I would sat that If you really are going to stay 10 feet away from anyone, not touch your face, and be really careful than the risk is low, but you really have to all go there with the mindset that all the other people are positive. Practically it’s hard to put on teffillin without a table, with gloves and a mask, etc. if anyone there is showing symptoms... don’t rely on a mask. Be careful not to touch much even with gloves.

After this report first aired, the LA County Department of County Health issued a clarification that there might be an "alternate explanation" for the fatality other than Covid-19.

We keep hearing the flu has been more deadly this year than previous years. I was thinking maybe because early cases were not diagnosed properly?

For every 10 people I know, a bunch aren’t really serious about social distancing. So no.

Perhaps - https://www.businessinsider.com/seattle-flu-study-coronavirus-testing-washington-2020-3
Worth mentioning that in countries where China virus is declining, flu cases are too. Social distancing should help basically all infectious diseases.

I hope she's right.

When will people that had symptoms, are going to be able to get a blood test to see if it has antibodies.
They just approved usage of plasma from recovering patients as a treatment. Won't they have to screen the blood first? Seems like a worthwhile trade-off to me.
