Wife and BIL both in the house with me. Wife had dry cough, nothing else. BIL was on a flight from PI to LAX with Chinese people back in January. Over half the people show no symptoms, right? Pretty possible.

I had a week and a half back in late Feb, early Mar when going to the gym where my lungs just could not keep up with my regular workouts. Shortness of breath and dry cough. I likely had it then, which would explain why I did not get it when I shared the office with the 2 that did get it in the jail. *shrug*

Obviously we're both speculating and the only way to be sure is for me to get the antibody test. I just think the odds favor me having had it.

Victor that’s the flip side. You may have and there could be zero symptoms. That’s the scary part yet some grab on to that as a minimizing factor.

As an aside there are correct ways to calculate such things and incorrect. They are that way for a reason and have been for a very long time. But it’s really not worth arguing with someone who thinks they’ve got it figured out better than folks that have worked on these things for more than a week or two and the experts by definition are fear mongers from a certain party not to be trusted.

Funny.
The liberals always cry "do it for the children".
Well, now the children are unaffected but they're closing their schools and sports and life.
This is a bunch of boomers trying to save themselves and their elderly parents.

Which is fine.
If it didn't mean destroying the future of our young to do it.

Selfish pricks.

I understand the concerns. Everyone I know coming back to work seems to say it was either a bad case of the flu or a mild case, or just a cough and shortness of breath. There's one guy who just lost his sense of smell (and hasn't recovered it yet).

Small sample size, fuh sho... but none seem to have any lung scarring. And what about the 50% who show no signs or symptoms and are no worse for wear? *shrug*

Again... we're not going to know WTF for at least a year or so. Probably take that long to get real, good data.

Out of curiosity... did the guys you work with actually test positive? Or did an outbreak occur and they decided they were symptomatic and should stay home?

Transportation got hammered. They all share a briefing room where they sit and BS when not transporting people to and from court, so that makes sense. 2 Sgt's and 20 or so deps.

The rest of the deps work housing units where 2-3 people share a small control room. The Sgt's share 2 offices (housing or intake) but work stations are shared all around. 4 teams of 30 deps and 3 Sgt's 24/7. In closed buildings connected by hallways. With central heat/air.

And I'm assuming that there were some others of groups of 2-3 where someone sharing space with them managed to not show positive...?

Interestingly enough... street deputies who are out and about interacting with the public? I think we had 2. It's those of us locked up inside the building who got the rona.

My post wasn't dircted at you, personally, Tee.

I was saying what I thought should have been done. Inform the public, make recommendations, and let people be free to choose what to do for themselves.
