BaltACD Use to get similar letters from CSX during Hurricane Season. The worst thing is that when the wind gets above 40 MPH they close the main bridges around Jacksonville - and there a lot of high bridges over navigable waters that get closed.

Got my letter and I don't even work for a railroad. However all those ventilators will be electric so I got to get this baby going. But enough of that. I want to hear more about "high" railroad bridges in the Jacksonville area, or for that matter, anywhere in Florida. How high is "high"? 2 Feet? 10 feet?
Half the confirmed cases in Georgia are in just 4 counties. They are Atlanta's and three north of Atlanta. I cannot say for sure but it appears that there is not enough testing going on to really know what the real number is. Suspect that my county just does not have enough test kits ?
We are of the opinion that it is not a question of if but when we will catch the virus. Wife uses a CPAP which puts her in a high mortality position. The longer we can go without infection the better our chances that there will be some way to mitigate our illness ?

At this point that is a truism, as any other way of inducing 'humoral immunity' is months and months off, unless you can get into a critical trial (or pretend you have a sick cat and contact Mutian in China). The principal question is avoiding the 'complications' such as ARDS if you can. One thing to keep in mind, which I think you already know, is don't treat this like the flu! And do not let any 'health professionals' buffalo you into things like Tamiflu or prednisone before you have a confirmed diagnosis of a specific influenza and a confirmed negative diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.

Probably not if she uses it for sleep apnea. Arrange NOW to get a high-volume-capable oxygen concentrator, or suppplemental-oxygen setup with extra tanks, while you can. MIT is conducting a project to coordinate construction of large numbers of additional ventilators, and a part of this is to make the equipment and develop the procedures to convert CPAP machines into low-pressure ventilators. I'd recommend getting the appropriate support electronics etc. as soon as you can, and then follow carefully for functional software updates.

China has been censoring news, so I wouldn't believe any "official" Chinese reports or numbers.

These addresses should work. I copied them and tried them in a new tab before posting this.
Apparently the malaria med is showing promise and the FDA has let it out for that purpose.
The recovery rate is ~98%, maybe better. Kind of similar to that of the seasonal flu, in fact.
I suspect that if we could do 100% testing, we would be aghast at the results. Four young men at an area college were tested as the result of a visit to a high risk area. Despite being asymptomatic, they tested positive. How many more are there like that?
I also think that some sort of antibody test would be great to have. We have no idea how many people have actually already had SARS-CoV-2 without realizing it.

CN is now requiring employees in parts of eastern Canada to carry a letter similar to the one Jeff mentioned. We haven't gotten them out west, at least not yet.

Definitely narrower on the holder. I thought I was the only one who had noticed.
Paul of Covington Electroliner 1935 Speaking of TP, has anyone noticed how the makers have nattowed the rolls. When my home was built 22 years ago, the bathroom TP holder was designed for rolls being 4.5 inches wide. Then I was seeing 4.25 in. Now most are 3.9 or 4.0 in wide. And the toilet paper in the big roll in the restroom at Wal-Mart is 3 inches wide. Enough. Seems like they are soon going to string. Yeah, I thought so. I've never measured them, but they do look narrower on the holder.

Facilities and Maintenance where i worked went on a savings kick and bought 2 inch wide toilet paper. People found how to crisscross it to make it wider and it took so much more paper that it was cheaper to buy the 4 inch stuff so they didn't have to buy so much of it.

My son has a letter of this type. He works for PTI, transporting crews on the KCS Heavener Sub. Oklahoma has a curfew, necessitating the letter. So far, Arkansas and Missouri do not have any official restriction.
Yes; wonder when such "To whom it may concern" letters will start having "babies"? Reminds me of a visit to the PHilly Suburban/now SEPTA yard in September 1981 taking a picture through the chain link fence. Man came out from the building and "invited" me in; a few minutes later I came out with a letter authorizing me to go all over the entire property for an entire year! Very useful. He had asked "You know about third rails?" I said "Yep". "OK, Be careful--and stay out of the Elevated Yard!". I went all over the P&W and Red Arrow yards at 69th Street for the next hour and a half.
