Coronavirus (non political)

I wear disposable gloves often doing grimy jobs like handling metal I machine parts out of that are coated with drawing oil, which is as nasty as well used motor oil. It is pretty easy to remove them without letting any contaminated surface touch your bare skin.

Well it just hit home. I just got a text from my oldest daughter 33 that she is home sick with a fever, sore throat, cough, and fatigue. She can't get a test because she is in the low risk factor and she is a nurse.

She does not seem to worried at the moment. Being a nurse you think they would have wanted her tested ASAP. She is at home but the Hospital actually told her she could come to work if she wears a mask.

I would think nurses would get tested faster. Best wishes for her recovery!!!

I just talked to my daughter this morning. Her fever is down she feels much better so we are hoping it was just of flu.

Here is the sad part. Her hospital still wanted her to come in not knowing if she could be carrying the virus. The minute they found out she talked to the health dept they told her she had to stay home.

You would think they would err on the side of caution, not a good look.

Sorry to hear that, she went from a nice employment opportunity to sick at the drop of a hat, that freakin sucks.

I bought 100 latex gloves and reusable toilet paper from amazon .. basically like a rag that you would use to change a baby, then wash and reuse.

Should I buy more gloves?

Should I be at work?

I feel like Im in limbo.

Is anyone else at work, doing normal work stuff?

Gloves are really unnecessary unless you have open wounds or can't stop touching your face

Most people can't stop touching their face.

Gloves won't help that

I believe it could from a mental stand point for someone who normally does not wear them. You would constantly be reminded of why you have these damn things on your hands.

Without fail I probably rub my nose with the back of my hand 10 times an hour.
