Apparently the US has a full 2,500 Corona virus tests. That seems, oh, what's the word... Absurdly low? -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 13:15 5

- test kits - each kit can process 500+ samples -- nm - decline Mar 4, 13:19
- tests or kits? I think I saw that one kit contains 500 tests? (if so, that's 1.25 million tests) -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 13:16 1
  - Probably kits, but that's still less than 1% of the population that could be tested -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 13:23
- Testimony I was listening to earlier this week was 2500 kits with 500 tests each, but that may be future and not what is available now. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:16

My brother has been having some health problems for a while now, that have gotten progressively worse. - ty97 Mar 4, 12:36 27
- Sounds like one of those medical cases in the NYT's Sunday magazine. And I mean I think it sounds a lot like one case they had. -- nm - . Mar 4, 14:10
- The neurologist also told him today that she wants him to stop working. Like...what, does he go on disability? - ty97 Mar 4, 13:11 2
  - Well, with doctor's orders, most places will just go ahead and send them to short-term disability. - Dark Callisto Mar 4, 13:15 1
    - (P.S. Good thoughts for your brother. It has to be frustrating not to know.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 4, 13:20
- Hopefully they’ll figure it out. No answers is more frustrating than even bad answers -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 13:03

- Wellllllll - Reagen Mar 4, 12:45 5
  - Also you probably know this but there is not "a" Canadian health system - Reagen Mar 4, 12:46 4
    - I did not know this. Are some provinces better than others? -- nm - decline Mar 4, 12:47 3
      - Definitely. Just because of available resources/staff in more rural places. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 12:55
      - BC and Ontario are often considered to have the best, Territories and NL usually ranked at the bottom. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:51 1
        
        And provinces will send people to where they can get the care they need, if deemed necessary. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 13:33

So after last night do we think Texas is in play for the General? - eag Mar 4, 12:36 7

- Love me some Peter Gabriel - but I couldn't name one song with him in Genesis. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 12:36 7
  - that's because, despite the fact that so much of it was great music, they didn't really break through into American top 40 until after Gabriel left -- nm - call me Ishmael Mar 4, 12:38 6
    - They were a prog rock band until the 80s when they morphed into a pop band. - Tim Mar 4, 12:41 3
      - like Jefferson Airplane into Starship? -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 4, 13:16 1

    - Of course - I was 4 when he left the band...so there's that. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 12:39
    - Which is why Gabriel is not very relevant to Genesis tour sales -- nm* - ty97 Mar 4, 12:38
