re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

I'm started to wonder how much longer before it starts to become difficult to find food on the shelves at stores, rioting starts to break out, and people need to start to fear for their safety in their homes.
Our food supply sources aren't impacted at all, and nothing suggests they will be. Farms are still farming (just fine), packaged food producers are essential in every way imaginable and that is chugging along.
Short term hiccups are due to a large shift away from institutional buyers (think Sysco/restaurant demand/schools) to grocery stores chains and other wholesalers who are having to re-negotiate contracts on the fly to be able to handle it.
Some other hiccups may be do to personal choices when people are shopping for themselves not quite matching their consumption otherwise.
For instance, that chopped zucchini in your fancy restaurant meal might have looked like a dented up piece of crap on the shelf. That doesn't matter in the least as far as the vegetable quality itself, but typically institutional buyers buy all that stuff up and leave the prettier vegetables for the more fickle individual grocery store buyer. Now that dented up "perfectly fine" zucchini is headed to a grocery store shelf near you because there's nowhere else to go with it.
But, you'll still be able to eat.

What type of imaging is that? That's not from your standard CT scan.

I thought I read in one of these threads (but could be way wrong) that "normal" pneumonia is typically in an area of the lung where as this covid pneumonia is taking over lungs.

People like you are the problem.

I'm not sure, but viral pneumonia is typically more dangerous than the bacterial types. I have read that COVID19 pneumonia is more prominent in the base of lung (lower).

Stunning overnight spike in death projections for Alabama. from this great tool someone posted about 50 pages ago. Total deaths so far: 19. By April 6, expecting 60 deaths that day. Increasing each day. By April 10, expecting 139 deaths. April 15: 255. The peak is on April 22: expecting 341 deaths a day.
You can click on where it says "United States of America" to get a slide down menu to any state you want to look at for graphs. Alabama now projecting more than twice the number of deaths per day at the peak than states like California and Florida, yet states like Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi all around them remain the same - much lower. Where do you project the hotbed in Alabama to be located? I haven't seen that info - yet.

Louisiana has been fluctuating ... I'm taking it with a grain of salt honestly as others more knowledgeable than me have said to do.

I'm starting to think that it might be the most accurate prediction out there.

Alabama looks horrible on that projection. I never thought Bama would have potentially more deaths than California. I mean how does that happen?

Just going by the current numbers, I don't understand how that graph can possibly be accurate for Alabama, but I'm not that smart.

Are the assumptions for current measures in place accurate?
No stay at home order
Schools closed
Non-essential businesses remain open
No travel restrictions
It seems to be weighing those pretty heavily.

Glad to see you post. Hope you are holding up well out there.

Results are in: I have COVID-19.
Had been working across several ICU's around NOLA. Some safer than others. I figured I would get it at some point. Healthy and under 35.
Symptoms started Friday night, tested Saturday. Called with results this morning. I've been quarantined in the master bedroom since Friday. Fever hit 102 the first day, but has been at 100.0 for a couple of days. Headache, sore throat, SOB with very small exertion, and aches. No cough, drainage, or diarrhea. The most aggravating is the aches. Just cannot get comfortable for days.
I'm hoping my symptoms remain as they are until I can kick it and no one else in my house gets it.

Is it weird that the symptoms are so random and varied based on who has it? Maybe it's not, but I thought that a dry cough was a major symptom of this thing. Is your breathing ok/so your lungs feel affected?
Get better, dude. Your sacrifice is noble.

The closure was implemented starting last Thursday
Plenty were closed prior to that though

Good luck. Beat this thing.

This was my main reason for my skepticism as well. I think I coughed at most 2 times in one day. Throat is sore as hell. The sore throat was actually my first symptom.

I'm more conscious about my work of breathing, but I'm not too concerned. For half a day I could fell a rattle on a full exhale. One morning I had to go drag something across the yard. (Only time I left bedroom.) It took me maybe 10 seconds, but I had to catch my breath like I just sprinted down the block.
