When you mentioned on the other thread that you had stake conference this Sunday, I thought they might do that, as the Church’s newly instituted temporary ban on larger public gatherings commences on Monday.

I think it is a good call for our area. Just got back from Costco. I had not been there since my early stock up before the rush. TP was gone. Cleaning wipes gone. Butter gone. Not too busy and food items were stacked lower but mostly, the shelves were not as well stocked. A lot of people buying paper towels. Personally, if it's a choice between a paper towel and Cottonelle wipes...go with the wipes. 1

He ate at the house of one of the missionary moms facebook group this week and I'm debating on asking her if she let me do Walmart pickup and then have her pick it up and take it to him. I figured that I could tell him to buy his normal supplies, but this was there if they needed it.

Honestly, I would follow the guidance of your mission president. Food is not really a problem but TP is. I'm sure the missionaries will be taken care of. Edited March 12, 2020 by bsjkki

Calm Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Not sure if this has been posted or not, search says no, but I haven't tried using it for links before. Too many threads on the topic to doublecheck by eye. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/coronavirus-what-happens-to-peoples-lungs-when-they-get-covid-19 Quote Wilson says people who catch Covid-19 can be placed into four broad categories. The least serious are those people who are “sub-clinical” and who have the virus but have no symptoms. Next are those who get an infection in the upper respiratory tract, which, Wilson says, “means a person has a fever and a cough and maybe milder symptoms like headache or conjunctivitis”. He says: “Those people with minor symptoms are still able to transmit the virus but may not be aware of it.” The largest group of those who would be positive for Covid-19, and the people most likely to present to hospitals and surgeries, are those who develop the same flu-like symptoms that would usually keep them off work. Quote When people with Covid-19 develop a cough and fever, Wilson says this is a result of the infection reaching the respiratory tree – the air passages that conduct air between the lungs and the outside. He says: “The lining of the respiratory tree becomes injured, causing inflammation. This in turn irritates the nerves in the lining of the airway. Just a speck of dust can stimulate a cough. “But if this gets worse, it goes past just the lining of the airway and goes to the gas exchange units, which are at the end of the air passages. “If they become infected they respond by pouring out inflammatory material into the air sacks that are at the bottom of our lungs.” If the air sacks then become inflamed, Wilson says this causes an “outpouring of inflammatory material [fluid and inflammatory cells] into the lungs and we end up with pneumonia.” He says lungs that become filled with inflammatory material are unable to get enough oxygen to the bloodstream, reducing the body’s ability to take on oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. “That’s the usual cause of death with severe pneumonia,” he says.
