First it's comical that ANYONE would think things will be back to normal in anything LESS than 10 weeks is a joke. If things are back to some version of normal in 9 MONTHS I'll be happy. I've had a lot of great exchanges with people on Volnation and it saddens me that Tennessee is so slow to implement restrictions necessary to slow COVID 19. I wish all of you well.
My wife and I are 72, my wife has been ill for about 3 weeks with what the local emergency room diagnosed as bronchitis. They said they only give COVID 19 tests to those that they admit to the hospital (March 8th). At that time they said the nearest lab for processing tests was Atlanta (assuming this to be the CDC) they said turn around time was 4 days to get results. My wife has Celiac Disease and last fall she went from 126# to 102# in 6 weeks. She's extremely vulnerable to COVID 19, she's had pneumonia 3 times. When we went to the emergency room she had a temp of 100.9 F. I could go on... NOTE: when we started in the ER none of the nurses or doctors were wearing masks and eye protection. By the time that they sent us home all the nurses and md's that met with us were wearing masks and eye guards. Tell me that is comforting. It's like they are sending the old guys home to fend for themselves or die....
Yes, I'm pissed.... OK, so Tennessee thinks they don't have a problem with COVID19? Do the Vols think that they should receive federal help when COVID 19 hits them and they haven't acted to help themselves?
Sorry if this is a bit preachy, but I like you guys and I wish you well.
