Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

[B&B Happy goats]

My (cow neighbors) wife has been in the hospital in ICU for a week.....her and her husband have raised four son's that are now in their mid to late thirties...only the husband and one other person of his choice has been permitted to see her, there was no interchangeability once those two people were chosen , they have been the only two allowed into the ICU..the hospital called him this afternoon as he was pulling into his driveway ( from staying with her for the last 48 hours) and told him she has turned for the worse and was expected to live for two more hours and he needed to come back now...(she was on a ventilator) ...he called all the sons and they rushed to spend the last moments with their mother to say goodbye...the hospital wouldn't let anyone other than the two assigned people in there due to the coronavirus, three of her boys couldn't say goodbye to their mom ...yes they are country boys and tried pushing there way in there but were told they would be removed by security....
How sad in a county that has four confirmed CV cases (UF students that were traveling abroad) 5 cases confirmed total in the county , and four deaths....and you can't hold your dieing mothers hand ????
This is insane, my heart breaks for them
( she did not have the virus) was there for other medical issues

That’s horrible. Scrub in and out, gown, glove and mask is all that was needed to contain. Ridiculous Not to let them be with their mother.

School closings, business closings, public gathering limits, all the stuff we're talking about on here.
Maybe overdone, maybe just prudent.
But the city I moved from last year, Columbia, S.C. (and the state Capitol) will, as of tomorrow, institute a curfew......drumroll please....wait for it......
From 11:00 pm to 6:00 am.
???? Wait....what....what time? How's THAT supposed to help? Buying a years supply of toilet paper makes more sense.

Uh....I'm with you. How is that supposed to help other than making it illegal to party in the absence of having a bar in which to do so? Could that be it?

We got one confirmed case finally here in WV and they shut down all the restaurants and bars. One case, folks. We are not talking about bubonic plague, but a simple flu/cold virus.

Inexcusable, as I have been told that if a person has no hope of surviving that family would be able to attend to the dying member. I am so sorry for them. A member on another cattle board's wife went into the hospital and he was not allowed in due to his fragile immune system. She took a turn for the worst and passed away. I did not hear if he was allowed to see her before she went.

Corvid-19 is not actually "just a cold" it's a pneumonia-like infection(actually includes SARS-CoV and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome).....just so thats more clear. Odds of killing most people not super high.

Here pretty much all nonessential business are closed down, gatherings are limited to 50 people total, all restaurants and bars are limited to drive-thru, delivery or take-out. Take-out requires 5 people or less inside the building and they all must stand 6 ft apart. All schools, colleges, senior centers, etc are closed.

We currently have 54 positive people in michigan and it is pretty quickly spreading thru the state including the 1 positive case of a child with it was found on Sunday night. The county next to us is testing 27 people atm, the county next to them already has a positive person.

My work just told us yesterday we need to drop capacity by 50% per shift so we are either going on 12hrs or working swing shifts. Yay, not.

DH and I are both immune compromised so again yay, not.

Here things are limited to ten people only. There are 17 people with it in the next town over. Chris, I, my son and my Dad are immune compromised...but we are going strong!

I understand that case is up near the Wash DC direction too. I think they are shutting it down to prevent anyone from bringing any more in.

So with Spring almost here and all this extra stuff... I'm contemplating on putting in a garden this year.... We didn't do one last year with all the extras with the farm and had cut back the last several years with kids and stuff... But am wondering if I should plan one with the world gone crazy.

YES! Plant a garden. Even if you part the weeds to pick the produce, it is still a win-win. Don't go crazy with it, with all that you have to do, but definitely plant a garden.

If anyone had the virus (the boys) what diffrence would it make at that point if they knew she was dieing...they were out in the waiting area

Here all the beer distributors shut down...people panicked worse than over TP!! Ben friends spent boat loads on beer. Lucky my kid is a health nut. But, there are a ton of drinkers up here....our best friends drink daily...proud of it. I think my friend Jessie might get sick from not being able to drink. Although...they do usually buy ten cases at a time...so, that should last a week? Penn State is refunding all the students for the rest of the term..even if you live off campus and finish on.line. The classes will be so different, not learning as well...plus they don’t have to pay to heat and cool and maintain the buildings. Hoping other colleges follow suit.

@promiseacres ...gardens are a blast!! It’s so much better than what you buy...plus, you feel such an accomplishment when you grow things from basically nothing. And, then, if this does get worse, you’ll be better prepared. Our garden now is two acres, but we are planting one acre of pumpkin and 1/2 of sunflowers for the animals. We are also getting into the legal fees for become ‘farm to table’ certified to sell to restaurants in bulk. We had huge gardens long before animals. In fact...Chris is in the midst of building two greenhouses. One is 10x12..the other will be three times that size. We had a homemade one last year...small...but we bought the stuff at the auction...he’s very excited!! The first picture is of the tin that will be on the race car with our logo. It’s gets its vynil sheeting tomorrow. It’s advertising the mini pigs with my phone # The second picture is of the start on the first greenhouse. I ran into that dumb bar about six times and whacked my head soooo hard today!!
