Well, my son’s mom is a confirmed case. We share 50/50 custody so I’m pretty sure I’ll have it too via my son and drop offs.

Assume you’ll need to go into 14 day Q.
My ex had to do the same since a few of her coworkers tested positive.
She said she had a cough for about five days and felt a little off. But she didn’t meet the testing standards so who knows.
We’re both hoping she got it and beat it
Good luck Mikal

Hang in there, Mikal. Don't let anxiety about possibly getting it steal your life from you; I've been living in that frame of mind for over a month now and once you've taken every precaution it's not worth the stress.
Thanks. Yep my son and I both are in 14 day quarantine. I’m lucky enough to work from home and don’t have a loss of income but still scary.

Viruses spread, but fear doesn’t have to. We have no control over a virus and our overall health. We do have control over our mind and allowing emotions to arise and pass, but it takes work.
Everyone stay safe
More “striking” evidence has emerged that the BCG vaccine given to counter TB may provide protection against Covid-19 and significantly reduce death rates in countries with high levels of vaccination.
A study of 178 countries by an Irish medical consultant working with epidemiologists at the University of Texas in Houston shows countries with vaccination programmes – including Ireland – have far fewer coronavirus cases by a factor 10, compared to where BCG programmes are no longer deployed.
This translates into a death rate up to 20-times less, according to urologist Paul Hegarty of the Mater Hospital, Dublin.
Their “correlation” study, expected to be published shortly by PLOS journal, is largely a statistical one and comes with caveats because of possibility of confounding factors. But it is more comprehensive than an initial one conducted in New York, which prompted a scaling up of clinical trials on people with Covid-19.
To reduce the possibility of error, the researchers re-evaluated cases during the course of the pandemic and made country-by-country comparisons including between Ireland and the UK, Mr Hegarty said. “We did not expect to see such a marked difference.”
“Over the 15 days, incidence of Covid-19 was 38 per million in countries with BCG vaccination whereas the incidence of Covid-19 was 358 per million in the absence of such a programme. The death rate was 4.28 per million in countries with BCG programmes and 40 per million in countries without such a programme,” he added.
Best of luck to you and your family.Well, my son’s mom is a confirmed case. We share 50/50 custody so I’m pretty sure I’ll have it too via my son and drop offs.

Is there any reason not to feel good about this development?

Sounds like the foundation for a more targeted coronavirus vaccine, or possibly a relatively cheap and safe booster in the event of a second wave.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when a trump supporter in a comments section said that the “fake” impeachment of trump was worse than the 11k Americans that died. That was his response to someone who was saying trump needs to own up to the current mess. That’s by far the worst comment I have seen from a trump supporter! To actually think that the impeachment was worse than 11k people dying is beyond comprehension.

Damn. Best of luck, mikal. Hopefully you all get through this without any serious issues.
My concern is the models don’t account for Trump.
The man will absolutely fuck things up by telling the nation it’s free to go back to work.
Will that have as big of an impact in CA or WA, states that have done really well with their response....i don’t think so (but plenty of people would break the SD)
It’s the Red states that would throw a giant party and we’d see infections rising again.
I am also concerned that the US will scale down testing to try and fudge the numbers. “See!!! New cases are dropping. Open it up!!”

https://twitter.com/jalees_rehman/status/12482607351106928642. They found #COVID19 virus in 2% of the study population (only 500 subjects so far) but #COVID19 antibodies in 14% which means that 14% must have been infected and are now immune
The #COVID19 mortality rate in this German county was approximately 0.37 percent if one takes into account all the infected people including those which were asymptomatic and did not know they were #COVID19 positive
https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/12482459144744099855/n Importantly, the Preliminary Results & Conclusions of the #COVID19 Case-Cluster-Study are drawn from only @ 500 people (out of a total of @ 1,000 people in the study, out of @ 12.5k inhabitants).
9/n The mortality rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_rate) for the whole population of #Gangelt is at 0.15 % at this time.
10/ Overall in Germany: "So far, no transmission of the virus in supermarkets, restaurants or hairdressers has been proven". #SARSCov2 was detected by PCR on "remote controls, washbasins, mobile phones, toilets or door handles" BUT NOT in infectious form.
11c/ What IS dangerous is people. The entire #COVID19 outbreak in #Heinsberg district is traced back to a couple who attended a local Karneval festival. It all kicked off from there.
Those German stats are fascinating, especially spread on surfaces, but the author probably undersells the transmissibility of the virus in his conclusions. A similar Icelandic study found that 50% of the study population had the virus, a far cry from 15%. We need more examples and a broader range to make solid conclusions about asymptomatic cases.
