Disgruntled basically means displeased and/or discontented. I am sure from time to time drivers do feel anger, I got angry when I drove. heck, I still get angry today. Further, just based on that definition most of the US population is disgruntled. Being disgruntled is not the special purview of just a US trucker!
How will you handle getting Corona virus while OTR?

I am sure some hospital you cannot just drive up in a big rig and go in.
But I have learned SOME of the difficulties described in some of these forums are exaggerated.
Call the hospital ahead, tell them you have a full sized truck and you are sick. When I did that, they knew right where to tell me to park. She said truckers do it all the time. If you are sick we will see you.
And like I said, I didnt have a problem. Thats my experience so far with hospitals.Moosetek13, JolliRoger and Linte_Loco Thank this. -

You can get it by just having someone breathing next to you.
Yes,
unfortunately we're finding more evidence of airborne transmission, ie, you can get it from sitting next to someone breathing the same air on a plane or bus trip. JAMA just published results from a SG hospital that tested pt hospital rooms & found contamination by air vent -

Pretty much thread break down. As we still have the two extremes. The Nuthin Burger group and the End of the World Group. But I do want to address some wrong information.
This virus is rapidly spreading, that is a fact. People both younger and those older are being put on respirators because of it, this is a fact. Hospitals are getting filled to capacity because of it, this is a fact. The reason they are asking people to stay home and/or self isolate is to slow down the rate of infection. As we can't stop it at all. This is also a fact.
While again, I do want to say people shouldn't panic. They should follow some common sense steps to mitigate risk to themselves and others. Because while you might not have anyone you love who could die from this virus. Some of us do. I'm being safe, but not putting on the tin foil hat...etc. I've got a mother, and a fiance that if they get this will die. Not may, but will. My mom is on a chemo medicine for life due to a blood cancer. My fiance has both COPD and an auto-immune disease. So perhaps you might want to take the fact that this virus does hit home for a lot of people and stop being so flipant about it. I ask this respectfully and not in anger.Qbf594, JolliRoger, magoo68 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I believe everyone understands the circumstances. Some people just wanna have a little fun with it, some get mad when they do.
Life goes on. This planet has survived all kinds of crap, yet here we are Every human being can’t self isolate. That’s impracticalWasted Thyme Thanks this.
