I have no idea where to put this, but I just discovered it and I want to share.
That was pretty good!

Just said a prayer for your little girl. Hope she gets better quick!Our two year old girl broke her femur yesterday. Still waiting to get the bone set because the OR is backed up. Feels wierd to have our first broken bone be our little girl.

My son’s “terrible twos”, the looming COVID-19 epidemic here in Brazil and a handful of complicated cases at work are converging into a very emotionally taxing couple of weeks for me. If I sound a little testier than usual, forgive me.
She's got a heck of a cast but she's handling it well.oy, i'm sorry. She on the road to recovery?
I am sorry. that is very tough. i feel your pain there - wife is in public health in WA state.
Right there with you buddy.Looks like I will be a lot less active here in the coming months as, in addition to working full-time, I now have to home-school two kids for the foreseeable future:

The logic of this is insane. Clearly medical staff and their families should be tested so medical staff is available. Their guidelines need an exception for medical staff and their families. This has to be obvious?!?Baby Butcher is now a “suspected case” of COVID-19.
(He’s fine though. Just a little cough and low fever. Other than that his usual playful, energetic self.)
Strictly speaking we’ll never know, because only severe cases are getting tested here. But we have been instructed to self-quarantine at home for two weeks.
So I have joined my wife at home (she’s been teleworking since last week), which is great, but this also means that I am the sixth physician (out of nine) in my department to be placed on leave because of COVID-19.
To be quite honest, it’s been good for my mental health — the nagging headache that’s been with me since the pandemic started is now gone — and we are very comfortably stocked for the next days, but I had to cancel my professional appointments and now I have to entertain a fully functional two-going-on-three-year-old who is literally not allowed to leave the house.
Still. Mrs. The Butcher is definitely miffed. I’m fine, really. Trying to file my worries and make lemonade of the sanitary house arrest lemon. Who knows, I might find the time to get an actual game going — the old gang seems excited with the prospect of gaming over video chat again.

It should be. But there’s just not enough tests to go around, which is insane — mass testing, including identification of asymptomatic carriers (who seem key in keeping the virus circulating) is what got Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to successfully “flatten the curve”, ride out the storm and keep casualties manageable throughout — and only patients who are sick enough to be admitted get tested.
This means the real numbers will be underreported by something in the ballpark of 80%, and webpage cases of critically ill suspected cases dying before test results come in — which means that they, too, will not be accounted for.
(Maybe I should’ve posted this and the other message over at the coronavirus thread.)

Reading about Brazil and the issues you're facing. If there's anything I can do to help let me know. Your healthcare system seems even more strained than oursIt should be.

Sadly I was already aware of this. I used to work with a Brazilian software engineer. He told me stories of gangs holding his family hostage while he went to the bank for money.Yes. It’s going to be bad because our ICU capacity in the public healthcare network is already way beneath real demand — e.g. my cancer patients who need an ICU bed for postoperative care wait several months for a vacancy, with predictably dire results.
There is absolutely no way we will rise to the occasion. I predict thousands will die in Rio alone, not just from COVID-19; most other healthcare services will grind to a halt because of it.
I am also very much worried of the effects on the economy and criminality — large gangs of muggers have been roaming the deserted streets at some places, preying on the unwary.
Bummer. Thankfully it sounds like nothing serious. Hope he gets better soon.I live with my elderly parents as my mother and I are both physically disabled. Anyhoo, my father ate dinner and was taking trash out to the kitchen... when all of a sudden we hear a loud *clang* and *thud*. My mother and I ran out to the kitchen, and my father was on the kitchen floor with a large gash underneath his left eye. He fainted. He slowly forced his way up and moved to the couch. In addition to the large gash and fainting, my father was also really sweaty. He said he all of a sudden felt a lot of gas and felt intense pressure in his stomach. The next thing he knew, he woke up on the kitchen floor.
My mother called 911. One of the emergency responders kept asking my father questions about his heart, and then asked him "Who is the President?" "What is your wife's name?" "What day is it?" Those sort of questions. Thankfully, my father answered all of them correctly. He was taken out of the condominium on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us come along and told my mother and I that absolutely no visitors were allowed as the hospital was under quarantine thanks to COVID-19.
I called the hospital's emergency room a couple of hours ago. The nurse said that they ran a bunch of tests, including CAT scans of my father's brain and abdomen, and everything turned out fine. They're going to keep him overnight for some more tests and observation.
Isn't it every dad's ambition to fart in front of his family so hard he passes out?He said he all of a sudden felt a lot of gas and felt intense pressure in his stomach. The next thing he knew, he woke up on the kitchen floor.
Is this printed and glued to foam board?Also! I'm exploring a new side of the hobby. I've glued myself to everything on this table:

Yes it is. I've sent my wife out just before the lockdown to buy me some more. I expected to be terrible at this (and I am) but I'm getting pretty good results.Is this printed and glued to foam board?
I used to have very vivid dreams of shadowy versions of places that I was familiar with in real life. People were never the same, but the layout of the towns and roads connecting them were. Sometimes I would be somewhere new, but find that they were connected to areas from previous dreams. I stopped having them about 2 years ago, but I still remember enough to draw out a rough map of the dream world. Our brains are weird.So, I woke up this morning and realized that a person in my dream made reference to events that had happened in another dream I had 3 years ago, causing me in my dream to remember parts of that dream.
WHY THE FUCK DO MY DREAMS HAVE CONTINUITY?
