yeah I heard...you ever work with him?

RIP Deputy Young

Sorry to hear Shawn.

Prayers out for his family, friends and co-workers. 🙏

He was one of my guys on my last team.

extra hard...

best wishes to you, your team and the department...

hope the other two deputies have speedy and full recoveries and the virus has been eradicated from the RCSD Corrections Facilities

Thanks for the info and tracking that down, Victor. I had heard it was new (apparently erroneously).

The great thing not to lose sight of is that, despite all the buzz about hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (and sometimes zinc sulfate too), America and the world are doing a "shotgun blast" approach to this, trying not just one "bullet" but many, greatly increasing the chances that one or several will be a full cure or a serious symptom-reducer and mortality-reducer.

We're also shotgunning production of ventilators and PPE, many many companies churning out huge numbers of them, with more coming every day.

Parallel processing, baby. Just like in computing, it can work miracles of speed-to-results that "one at a time" serial methods can't touch.

There's a big pile of reasons to be hopeful and optimstic. Stay positive, fellas.

RIP Deputy Young and everyone else who's no longer with us. Let's think of them all when we can finally give the middle finger to this virus and beat it for good.

Silver lining in the dark cloud is that the world will be far better prepared for the next one, although I hope it's after I'm dead of old age. Probably won't be, but I can hope.

Wow. So sorry for your Deputy MACS. Prayers out.

Sad to hear this MACS. Unfortunatly it's going to get worse before it gets better. Due to my pre semi retired career, my world is rather large. 14 people I knew are dead of COVID 19.

Nothing like losing someone you know to this virus to make you reconsider your stance on it.

F---.

Think we're at 25 now... 3 serious. A handful not showing symptoms but tested because they were exposed and do have it. I'm certain I've been exposed. This place is ground zero for the dept.

F---.

Should have stayed home. Too late now.

Sorry brother. Hate to hear about your friend and situation. Be well and try to keep from others. You’ll be ok. You and Keith Richards will be the last men walking.

Sigh

Swamped at work today. Problem with working from home is it’s easy to work late. Haven’t checked are the numbers still cranking up?

There was never any doubt. 👎

Follow the money. 🤐

Sorry to hear about the deputy MACS.
Stay safe brother...

Been seeing more stuff that jives with what danm was saying regarding dose/exposure to the virus relative to severity

I've been arguing with the folks at my wife's facility about this.

"Well the data..................."

"I don't give a **** about the data, my buddy has been dealing with this for weeks! Be freaking prepared!"

"Well, our pathologist says................"

"How many cases has he dealt with personally?"

Silence.

I'm not sure they get it. 😣

The reality has not hit home for me yet as no one I know has come down with the virus. WE have no sanitizer and no wipes and can't find any at the stores. We are going shopping today in a more populated area and plan on only stopping at 2 stores and a pharmacy rather than our normal six or more stores. A town about 15 miles from me had one positive test case as of earlier this week. A lot of NYC people own summer homes in our area, but so far no local cases have been detected.

Now we're down 2... 2 more in the hospital. Most cases coming out of our facility. 🤦

Schitt...

When you have been coming home from work do you isolate? Hate to hear what’s going on.
