We have had several department head meetings and some municipal closures of some activities in the muni but is anyone closed down?
is anyone closed down?
As of end of business today, we have shut down most of our buildings to public access. My question to the City Manager will be; When do I stop sending my staff into 40-50 inspection sites? We have close public access to buildings, but we are sending the folks out into the public???
BTW, I am one of the naysayers, I think we are overacting, compared to usual one or two year flu strains that will, or would have, killed us all.
Staff is now asking callers if anyone is experiencing flu like symptoms when an interior inspection is scheduled. More prevalent on residential inspections then commercial.
I have had occasions where the person that answered the door was obviously sick. I refuse to enter when that happens. More thn once the person called the office to complain that they took a day off work for this and demanding that I come back. I once had a final inspection where I had to see all of the smoke alarms......one bedroom door was closed and I asked to enter but was told no because the person that was in there is quarantined with TB. That upset me. I'm pretty sure that they figured that out.
The point is that you have to not trust people to understand the danger, tell the truth, or care about your safety.
People can be shedding the virus for days before any symptoms manifest.
I hear the statements: "So the flu kills many thousands of Americans every year so what's the big deal about less than 100?" ..... "The Covid-19 mortality rate is ten times that of the flu." ..... "If it takes off the medical establishment will be overwhelmed quickly. People would be expiring in tents set up at hospital parking lots."
Fatboy, When Dr. Oz says it's bad the whole world listens.
We do the Canadian equivalent, which is very similar. I have ICS 100, 200, and 300.Is anyone else here required to do FEMA Nims training?
I have been known to hit the blue room before greeting the hefe.......then stick my hand out like I’m eager to put germs on his. The sly grin gives me away.
YesIs anyone else here required to do FEMA Nims training?
Confirmed infected: 24,747That means their death rate right now is 44%,
For those thinking this is just a bad flu, Italy did not respond adequately for the same reason 1 month ago and here are their numbers as of today:
Confirmed infected: 24,747
Deaths: 1,809
Recovered: 2,335
Active: 20,603
That means their death rate right now is 44%, due to exhausted medical personnel and equipment.
Worst case scenario for over preparing is that you look stupid. Worst case scenario for under preparing is people die.
Ok, so neither of these numbers are accurate depictions of reality.Confirmed infected: 24,747
Deaths: 1,809
No it is less than 1%
Based upon TMurray's numbers....I came up with a mortality rate of 7.3%.
And just to be sure I asked my wife.
