@sonhouse saidWhat a great example of how just a few individual people can intelligently use some science and tecknology to compassionately save some other people's lives!

Yep. So I just found out one of my co-workers was showing symptoms and he and his wife are both quarantined and now my wife and I are going to have to be tested also. I think the tests here take 4 or 5 days to get results. Susan is 75 and has diabetes so she is on the top of the list for serious issues with C19. My son just said a study has shown the people most at risk are pregnant women.
It looks like here in the US we are dealing with it state by state since Trump is an idiot.

@sonhouse saidYou certainly got that right! I saw a youtube video of him advising people that show symptoms to (words of this effect) NOT self-quarantine but rather continue to go to work; -Right! Continue to go to work and spread it all around! What an idiot!

Fortunately for me I live in England so we here haven't got that problem.
I would probably be all right if I catch it (although I am still scared of catching it) but my mother is very old and with serious permanent heart and lung damage and with a blood disorder and I am just terrified of her catching it. I guess we must simply make sure she doesn't. But we find keeping away from other people a lot easier said than done.
