I'm glad he's doing better! These are scary times and I wish they were over already.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Glad you're not dead Bullwinkle

My dad is still in ICU but he's taking some breaths on his own now and they've reduced his sedation and lowered his oxygen to 35%

That's great to hear.  It sounds like the scary part is over.

For me, this has been mostly a minor inconvenience.

I have a pantry that is well stocked, and before things went bonkers in the US did some shopping to bolster the areas that were a little low. That and the freezer and I could easily last 4-5 months.

Already had a bidet, but was able to Amazon shop early (for delivery a couple weeks out) to keep the toilet paper stock reasonable.

Have a full bottle of hand sanitizer, but as not going anyplace that wouldn't allow me to wash hands, haven't used any of it yet.

I live in an area where the grocery store delivers. You have to plan out for a delivery 5-6 days in advance, so only a slight inconvenience. No hopping in the car to get a bag of Funyuns and a Starbucks, but that was probably never a good idea in the first place. Out of 100 items, only 2 were unavailable. (I like tipping the Instacart shoppers big, because they're doing good work under shitty conditions. I am furious at the recent trend of people luring shoppers to an order with a big tip, and then changing it to $0 after the delivery.)

I also have a dairy that delivers milk, yogurt, cheese eggs, coffee, bread. Again, have to plan a bit but not an issue.

I actually like staying indoors. In the last decade I am always out and about commuting and driving a lot for work and social contact, and it's actually *nice* to have a break from that. I work in an industry classified as essential, so I *can* go to work if I want or need, but have only done so twice in the past three weeks. It's nice rolling out of bed a lot later, having the coffee I like at hand, and not getting as interrupted when I'm doing work with people just stopping by.

Being out and about with friends ... I keep in touch enough, and yes it's inconvenient, but not oppressively so.

I also am in the middle of a job interview process for a different and far more satisfying position, and that was interesting doing remotely, but I understand that was becoming far more common before the pandemic.

I am by no means bored. I have a thousand things to do any to keep me busy, both for work and for recreation. If we're going to be isolated for another 3 weeks until May 1 (which is likely) I have no problem with being inside for all that time.

So sorry to hear about anyone whose family's health has been impacted. That's the most important thing. So far no one I know has had to deal with anything other than self-isolation from known or suspected contact.

Cheers, all!

I had no idea this was a thing people were doing, and I have to say that's sad to hear. My company had to cancel a major event where they normally provide a meal for everyone, and in order to support local businesses while still also keeping with the spirit of the usual event, they gave everyone an Uber Eats gift card. I had never used that service before in my life, but the concept I thought was great because it's supporting the restaurants in my area as well as the gig economy workforce. So we ordered dinner for my family, I left a tip through the online interface, and had requested that they leave the food outside the door so I could grab it after they left. But I made damn sure that the tip that I left when i went through the online portal actually went into the delivery person's pocket when he called to confirm the delivery instructions, because how can you not try and take care of the people that are putting themselves out there to provide us creature comforts during times like this?!

Honestly, I kinda enjoy the time right now. I am with my family & can skype with my friends, so I don't feel lonely. I have some stuff to do for university, so I am not bored. But it's not too much so I still have plenty of time to do some gaming, trips, etc. Also, social compulsory events aren't a thing now which is nice  ;)

Dang that sucks, I hope he gets better soon.

Why would they do trach ventilation tho? I don't think I have ever heard of docs using it for covid l, but I also havent really researched that. If possible, you might want to get a second opinion before they do it? On the other hand, his doctors probably know what they are doing.

How lang is he on the ventilator already?

I think because it'll make it easier to take him off the ventilator as they'll be able to take him off for a while then put him back on when he gets tired as its much simpler to do with a trach than down through his mouth. And they could stop the sedation then as well. He's been on the ventilator nearly 3 weeks now so quite a long time.

I wish you the best of luck on the delivery of your bread machine. I had cleaning supplies that were supposed to arrive today. The wife had a couple books that she ordered also supposed to arrive. Her books arrived. A bill arrived. The cleaning supplies? DELIVERY EXCEPTION. "We attempted to deliver your package at 7:51 pm on April 17, 2020 in [boydsterville] but could not access the delivery location. We will redeliver on the next business day." Yeah. Ok. That totally makes sense that you couldn't access the delivery location that you were literally already standing in when you delivered the rest of the mail. I can't say for sure, but I am reasonably confident that the delivery driver was tapping his fingertips together and laughing maniacally while driving away with all of my soap and lysol and swiffer dusters sitting in the seat right next to him.

What I'm saying, Crouton, is when you see the mail truck with your bread machine package on it, you must run out into the street and flag it down, or you may never have bread again.

I just threw out my bread machine. It had been sat in the summer house for several years gathering dirt and probably didn't work any more.

Starting my night shift tonight I notice the bin full of tissues and as the other guy leaves he goes to the toilet and I hear him blow his nose pretty hard. Gross

Have to wipe everything down here. The desks, keyboards, mice, monitors, phone, benches, door handles, light switch etc. He's occupied this room for 12 hours. This room should be classed as a level 4 biohazard  :o
