My brother died last week. He lived in San Francisco and was in his 60s. He was in poor overall health from a life of excesses. The prior week he apparently had developed a cough and fever. He spent his last weekend holed up alone in his bedroom. The coroner determined his official cause of death was ethanolism and decided not to test his remains for Covid-19. I'm not sure if the people he shared the apartment with have gotten tested.
It's part of the MSM. Are you not hip? Do you have TDS?

Yes, I think there are uncounted cases.
Yes - especially when you realize that you can't self-isolate from the other person in the household because of the design of the house. If I were to reconnect the toilet in the tiny half-bath downstairs, we could do that - but she'd be unable to shower, and I would have no access to the kitchen. Her cat, who stays upstairs, would be separated from her. Master bedroom suites didn't exist until maybe the Fifties.But in those hours when you don't know... pretty scary stuff.
Very sorry to hear of your loss. The human cost of all of this is sobering beyond belief. Thinking of you and your family in these times.jlv wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 8:03 amMy brother died last week.

Something I've been pondering with our house layout as well. We do have a master suite, so that would be the likely solution. We also have the camper parked next to the garage, which could work, but no sewer connection there, just power and heat. I've considered offering the camper as a decon area, as I've seen done by other people, but no need at this time for it (our son has trained as an EMT, so this might come up).LeftieBiker wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:44 amYes - especially when you realize that you can't self-isolate from the other person in the household because of the design of the house.
