jcmcgaffey Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Interesting, I take it you're a contractor? Glad to hear some hospitals have been planning ahead. Certainly helps that we've had a heads up on this thing for a few weeks. Hopefully the reports of 15% of those infected needing hospitalization end up too high...again, how much the spread and growth of cases can be slowed down will be key over the next few weeks. With much more testing available than just a few days ago across the country, we should know a lot more within a week. ya focused on healthcare. It will get worse but it won’t be anything worse than recent past viruses the past few years. Most of the hospitals/doctors are rolling their eyes at this thing but the government is paying them money to make emergency upgrades so they are happy to get additional funds to fix things up around the hospitals:). They just wish they would get more funding like this more often. There were versions of the norovirus last year that were worse than this one will most likely be and the hospitals could have used state/federal funds for that.

The Swamp Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I had the flu back in January. I posted about it here. High fever, flu like symptoms, ear pressure up the ying yang and my ears are still ringing. I sat in front of a space heater with a 102 fever and fried the virus. Pretty sure I can say I was "presumptively positive" for Corona Virus. Probably one of the first cases. Seems like that's all you have to say, presumptively.

Omegaraptor Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Not sure... expanding Hadley Cell and moisture just focusing more frequently on WA at the expense of OR? I have no idea. I am piecing together things I have heard from Phil and probably have it all wrong. But it has been happening more than usual and it shows up in the anomalies. And led to extreme anomaly disparities last month again. Side note... SEA and WFO SEA were both actually wetter than normal for February. I have no agenda here... just find it interesting. Today and tomorrow are good examples again. NW flow. Willamette Valley rainshadow, Western Columbia Basin rainshadow, no jet in California (and it's much more likely to be focused into WA than OR since even the Oregon Coast has been drier than average). Meanwhile the foothills to the north and east of Seattle get rained on thanks to orographic lift and no rainshadowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was working as a caregiver at the time and was directly vomited on by someone who turned out to be infected. He still has affects from the complications he had from that influenza. I did not get the H1N1 that year (2009-10 flu season I believe.). I got the shot, but I cannot remember if it was effective against that strain or not.
