I think it’s worth trying to see what we could do to help the people around us and pay our bills at the same time. This could last a long while and monthly business expenses will add up even if we’re not working due to diminished demand for our regular services. Maybe steam? Shopping carts? Other surfaces? It’s still winter here in Quebec/Ontario area with snow so forget the playground idea for now. Brainstorming, gentlemen!

The virus barely does anything if you’re young and healthy. The reason everything is shutting down is because it cleans up boomers from their retirement homes. The whole world turns around these folks, so everything has to cease to keep them around just that much longer. 
Just got a request today about playground sanitization from a company that distributes those products in Orangeville Ontario. Get requests from all over because of my web page on. Been up a couple of years so ranks decently.

Actually that’s not true. Don’t go off rumors. Go off factual data. Does it affect young and healthy less than an older person or unhealthy person? Sure of course. But to say it barely does anything is untrue and not what is being reported at all.

It seems irresponsible to mention that 1/5 of 20-44 year olds with COVID-19 were hospitalized without also mentioning that the population of 20-44 year olds in question is limited solely to those who went to a hospital seeking testing and had severe enough symptoms to actually be granted a test.
I can agree to this.

Agree. The numbers are not accurate because the testing is not wide spread. First hand knowledge that while your test may be “negative” you can still have the virus and the test did not detect it. That was today. As more people get tested we will have more data.
I would say we don’t know enough to factually say “The virus barely does anything if you’re young and healthy”
I’m not a doctor but I do understand the initial data from China was that if affected the old and immune compromised more so (I mean that’s expected…)

Italy in 3 weeks has gone from 9 cases to over 30,000. With this sort of rapid expansion I’m not even sure how testing could be feasible to be honest, I would imagine the health sector across the globe being stretched to the limit.

They are. Medical facilities here are triaging over the phone (myself and my roommate experienced this) then if your symptoms warrant it, you get referred and seen at a clinic (we did). Hospitals here are locked down hard and there are tents at all facilities for initial screenings. All I can say is be patient, be kind, and be calm.
I was at medical this morning directing traffic and guiding young sailors while I waited to be seen. The Corpsman Senior Chief was completely overwhelmed. Going to take an all hands on deck absolute team effort from humanity to get through this in any kind of “good” state.

Absolutely, this is the time when differences get put aside and people help people.

You are behind in the news. 50% of the people currently on ventilators in the US are under the age of 50. The virus is changing. Yes, it’s still killing the elderly, but if there aren’t enough ventilators (and there are not) to help the younger people those statistics will change. There is a local woman who is 35 that needed a ventilator 100%…she’s down to 50% and getting better, but soon we will be like Italy where they are choosing who gets the ventilators based on likelihood of living. Tough call to have to make 
So far only kids under the age of 19 seem to be semi-safe…for now.

People need to prepare. What is more likely, testing us all or asking us all to stay home for three weeks and collecting those in extreme distress?

Understood. I still doubt healthy young people will be much affected by this. Surely that 35-yo woman has some condition that puts her at risk, such as smoking, high BP, obesity etc?
I agree, few weeks at home will also ease the congestion in hospitals witch is needed at this point in time.
I’m booked first two weeks of April and another dozen jobs later in April and May. I’m worried most are going to cancel. The only thing I have going for me is most of my jobs are second homes at the Shore. So I’m hoping my customers are fleeing the cities for the shore to hunker down.
