I'm hearing through the grapevine that shut down will be from the 20th March to 5th April...

They've got the army out already & preparing for a lockdown from Friday. The Government won't announce it until Thursday night to stop panic people.

Supermarkets are to open restricted hours of the day with the Police outside the stores.

Also heard from someone living in Spain where they have been locked down.. Families are only allowed to send one person at a time for food or medicine.

Yeah, they just transmit it to everyone else.

Subaru plants in Japan have been closed for a week, Subaru plant in Indiana will close (if it hasn't already) as soon as they run out of parts supply to build cars.

Nope. Everything dies upon contact.

Yep. All of our Asian plants have been down two weeks. Our European ones have been down a week. It is our turn. It isn't that we have issue but when there is nobody buying the parts there is no sense building them.

So what you are saying is the army is going to keep you safe. From a virus. By killing you?

The virus dies upon contact! I have drank with those guys.

So are you dead, or was there no contact?

Toyota is closing all vehicle and component manufacturing facilities in Canada, the US, and Mexico temporarily on March 23-24 for deep cleaning and reopening on the 25th.

They said they have adequate inventory to produce vehicles at a lower rate reflecting market demand.

No Toyota associates have tested positive anywhere in North America but don't know what % have been tested.

I want whatever cleaning solution they're using.

I work in the ER of a regional trauma center. Hospitals aren't testing for COVID. Testing is done by the CDC, so our doctors are consulting with their staff, and the CDC is either allowing the test or denying the test. If a patient is positive for the flu or RSV then they aren't getting tested for COVID because testing is being rationed, and it assumed that they only have the flu. Even if they are negative for anything, only convincing symptoms may result in COVID testing.

I had the Flu A last week, and I am more susceptible as a healthcare worker, yet I wasn't tested for COVID.

Patients who are being admitted who are intubated/critical will receive a COVID turn around of 4-24 hours. People who are admitted may receive a turn around of 24-48 hours. People sent home who were tested can expect to receive the results in 5 days.

We will find out really soon how many people have this virus who haven't been tested who may or may not be symptomatic just based on how many new patients we have in the next week or two. There is obviously an incubation period delay in symptoms, and there has been a significant delay in mandating people stay home.

The flu ran through our building weeks ago and I still have a lingering cough. I have had people tell me to go get tested. I am getting tired of saying it doesn't work that way

As a bonus people avoid me a the grocery store
