I listen to podcasts. I have always had the radio on in our house, but I am sick and tired of virus news all day. Also, I am still successfully avoiding hearing what the Dow number is. When I’m stuck in a car with DH he insists the radio be on, but I, for the first time, appreciate the stock market report where they simply report “it’s up 200 points it is down 300 points “etc.I never have to hear the actual number. That used to annoy the heck out of me, but now I like it.
In Hermann I found that our Wi-Fi covers well out into our 1 acre yard, so that is great and I can pick up podcasts where I’m working. That makes weeding iris beds far less tedious.
Oh boy, my emotions are really in a tizzy right now. My sister just left. She came by unexpectedly, wearing a mask, but ended up taking off the mask and stayed for a couple of hours. She mentioned that her hospital currently has more staff with Covid than patients with Covid, but she is not sick (but she has not been tested). Something I had not yet mentioned here is that DH has resigned from his part-time hospital job because we are both so high risk. They actually said they would put him on their per diem list because they really like him, but they won't call him until this is over. I just don't know what to think, sort of feels like he left his job for no good reason if we are going to get plenty of risk from my sister, but I don't think I have it in me to tell her to stay away. I should add that I am crazy over my little sister, she has the biggest heart in the world, she is fairly sensitive and she is on medication for depression.
Your sister has really put you both at risk. It is in your best interest than she not enter your home. Visiting outside is fine. 6 feet apart. She should know better than to put you in this dilemma if she is working in a hospital. A mask is not prevention of transmission BTW.
Admitedly, I am an extrovert. I have taken to calling people on days I cannot go outside and do "social distancing." It is only a few weeks and I miss my gym workouts, etc. I am not very good on doing them on my own. I also enjoy the camaraderie. DH is a quiet introvert so I'm sure there will be time when I feel adrift. I need to make a list of uplifting things to do.
Rosa, you need to only visit outside with her.
I just read a report that an infected person may be totally asymptomatic yet contagious for three days or more before the virus shows itself. Be very careful
It's worse than that. People can be completely asymptomatic for the entire duration of their infection with the virus, and contagious most of the time :-) 30-50% of cases appear to be this way, when they've done large scale community sampling.
So, anyone could be a zombie.
The latest I saw today is that being around people is more dangerous than originally thought, and being around surfaces less dangerous than expected.
