I should probably post this under a Darwin awards thread, but here it is. Two people in Phoenix felt sick and thought they may have the virus. Since Chloroquine has been mentioned in the media as being the cure all, these idiot found that a fish tank cleaner contained chloroquine phosphate. Thinking this was the same thing they ingested it. The lady so far has survived. Her husband died.

Cmon people. Used your heads and follow the CDC recommendations if you are feeling sick.

for those that think that isolating and taking precautions don't work. Take a look at your history. While this is NOT the Spanish Flu. Two cities, Philadelphia and St Louis went about it two different ways. Philadelphia didn't social isolate, as we call it now, and even had a parade during that time. St Louis did social isolate. The result? half as many deaths per 1k in St Louis vs Philadelphia
Otr294highway and Linte_Loco Thank this. -
This is how I'd handle it

They will still die from it if/when they get it.
This is not something that will go away by hiding from it.
It shows no symptoms in so many people so it will linger far into the future.EuropeanTrucker Thanks this. -
Don't you only NEED to know how YOUR COMPANY will handle the situation if YOU get sick rather than get all anxious because some bureacrat hasn't given you the full national plan to deal with everyone?
Unless you get COVID-19 and are having real trouble breathing you may not even be admitted to the hospital. If you have mild, moderate, or a heavy flu-like symptoms and can breathe OK you will likely be advised to stay put, rest, drink gatorade and water. -
It's never too late to PANIC!!!!!
Linte_Loco Thanks this.
