    I know somebody who works at Tito's Distillery in Austin which has 300-400 employees.

    They started checking employees temperatures today as they got to work, 23 of them got sent home for having fevers.

    best of luck

    I am actually off because I just had shoulder surgery. I am not due back til April, and since I am the only person in our facility that does what I do, I will likely be back at full time. The wife does surgery, and the hospital has now elected to stop doing any surgery that are medically necessary....so she will find out tomorrow how that will effect her schedule. My guess is she will be sent to another unit at the hospital to help with these patients.

    I've been battling something since this past weekend. Muscle aches without going to the gym, dizziness, tightness in lungs but the 20 second self test holding breath crap works fine, piercing headaches, runny nose and then it's all gone in a flash only to return in a moment's notice later on.

    Been loading up on ester C, elderberries, zinc and ginger since this hysteria started. Body is fighting something, hopefully it's a mild or weak strain of this crap at worst. I was in excellent physical shape in 2017 but gradually tapered off with laziness. Can't rly gage physical limitations on the lungs without a stethoscope

    I hope you had a pneumonia shot. That kills the corona victims!
    Good luck, get better!

    He said by the end of his shift 30 people got sent home with fevers.

    Total confirmed cases here in Austin is 10 though since there is not enough kits to test.

    I been at home I told my work I’m staying for a home for a while as I work in Seattle and for over a few weeks now I have had a burning sensation in my chest and coughing which has cleared up.
    I went and had my lungs looked at x ray and bloodwork everything was good so idk maybe I had it and it’s already over
