Wow, my head is spinning. I got furloughed a few weeks ago and just got a call to start back to work Monday.

Very mixed feelings.

It is good to have the security of being called back, versus worrying I might never get called back. On the other hand I dont think this damn bug is anywhere close to running its course yet, and I am in the highest risk category, 62 and obese.

Sitting down, facing forward.
According to a study in Riverside County, CA, the actual infection rate may be as much as 85 times higher than current testing is showing. Their tests were based on serology rather than looking for active virus in the nasal or oral cavities. It also hasn't been peer reviewed yet, but if true, even partially at 40%, it changes a lot of things.

well, we know those recommended screenings aren't worth much, case in point ;)
After dozens of deportees are positive for coronavirus, U.S. deploys CDC to Guatemala to 'validate' its tests

and back to your referenced study, awsum - in a way good news because that would decrease the percentage of cases that turn deadly. with a big qualifier though - how many deaths could be mislabeled due to our limited testing?

That's a good reason to have your head spinning, Mike. I hope it all goes OK for you and for your employer. This is a really strange time to say the least. Don't forget your lunch box, pencil box and a notebook on Monday :thumbs:

From what I've read (and I've read a lot), the 62 is less worrying that the BMI.

Then again, Martinsville and Henry County don't look exactly like they're hot-spots of infectious spread.

And I hope it stays that way...

lol! the faqs have been amended, :lol:

as to 'status' unavailable:

You are required to file a tax return, but:
  • We haven't finished processing your 2019 return
  • You haven’t filed your 2019 tax return and didn’t have direct deposit information on your 2018 return
  • The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it.
remember, this was supposedly created to allow us to add banking info :facepalm:

You know, I have often recommended Wizard Labs to people. Not the cheapest in town, but first rate laboratory quality, packaging, etc. I have now added them to my black list though.

IMHO they are profiteering in the current environment. They introduced hand sanitizer. $27 for 10oz. I know that a 32oz bottle of 91% ISO goes for a buck or two at the drug store, and the wholesale cost of alcohol is a lot less than that. This is downright gouging. The only reason they are getting away with it is the scarcity of supply.

This will not be forgotten, at least not by me...

I wont give them the benefit of a link, but you can search if you are so inclined:
HAND SANITIZER "MAXIMUM STRENGTH" LEMON SCENT (70% ALCOHOL) 60ML-5PACK
