So to paraphrase George Costanza, did the proposal go something like this, "You know I always wanted to pretend to be a doctor, right nurse?"
Maybe better than the doctor wanting to pretend he's a 22 year old blonde nurse ?
Actually they were all real nice during my brief visit.....and .I was VERY close to getting that PICC line and a longer hospital visit. WHEW !!

are they replacing your wife's age group with younger staff members maybe? Reason i ask is? we have 3400 cases in NC now, 22 in our county...My daughter, who is only 26, just got off materity leave...she can't returned to her breast exam job, due to they are closed...the hospitial put her staight to reliefing patient nurses inside the hospitial...scary times for grandpa, with 2 under age 5 grandkids & a real new newborn.. they also made it mantory to shower at sanitized hospitial before going home..Dad instructed her daughter, to do it again when she gets home..#goashleygo!
My wife is the second and third shift laboratory supervisor. Thankfully, she has zero direct patient contact. Most of the lab employees who work in that time frame are in a younger age group. Labs long ago adopted the policy treat any samples that come in as potentially infectious. They just brought Corona virus testing in house. It's reserved for cases the Docs deem "highly suspicious ". Five out of 30 were positive. What that means, they don't have to slap the 25 negative patients in super isolation, saving resources. BTW, so far there's been no indications Corona is transmitted by blood, unlike HIV or hepatitis which are easily transmitted by that route. They're even trying an experimental procedure transfusing plasma from folks who have recovered from covid (theoretically they've developed Corona antibodies) to people who are showing serious symptoms. MHO is it can't hurt, and is at least worth a shot. You can bet there's a lab out there working overtime trying to develop a process to clone those antibodies.
What her hospital is doing is taking temperatures of everyone as they enter and leave. Not normal? You don't come in, or aren't allowed to come back. And if you're at home and not feeling well, you're automatically told to not show up for at least 5 days after until you are.

Sorry, but.. Not everyone who recovers actually has antibodies
1) Covid hasn't "Disproven the Models." All models are wrong, but some are useful. You can't model something that's never existed before. Each and every person who has said "We're Doing Better than the Models suggested" -- is deliberately attempting to distract anyone who doesn't know the single purpose of any model in any business: To HELP inform a person's decision. Responsibility is with a person, not a model.
2) Even after a person gets better, we have no idea how long immunity to it lasts. Thus, the concept of "Herd Immunity".. has the potential to not be physically possible. This is the other side of the coin to the above link -- No evidence that the antibody tests can actually show an immunity
3) Mutations complicate the development of a vaccine. HIV is a virus.. how's the progress on its vaccine?
4) Wave 2 of covid this fall is likely to be more deadly than Wave 1. With parallels to the 1918 flu.

Reports now that "recovered" Covid-19 patients are still testing positive for the virus weeks after recovery. No determination as yet as to whether these folks are still contagious.
This is one complicated lil bastard...

Found this, kind of liked it. If only. :
But, just a few questions: Shaggy...really? And John Cena? And who were the two guys that went to Asia, and who was the doctor guy? I guess I don't keep up that much with cartoon heroes.

By no means have I disregarded any of the above. It's not called a "novel" = new virus for anything...
Regarding #4- that's a guess- or you going to disagree? Covid does not equal Flu.
