Thanks everyone. This pandemic feels very real right now. And the fact that she was never diagnosed makes me fear so many more people I know - not close, but know and see regularly - might be battling this right now :( I'm very very happy for the slightly silly text message I got from my grandmother this morning.

Reuters reports:
A British company behind a 10-minute coronavirus antibody test, which will cost about a $1, has begun sending prototypes to laboratories for validation, which could be a game-changer in the fight against the pandemic. Health technology firm Mologic, which created one of the first at-home pregnancy tests, is aiming for the test to be rolled out by as early as June if the trials are successful.
Antibody tests are designed to establish whether people have previously been infected, as opposed to antigen tests which show if someone actually has the COVID-19 disease caused by the virus. Mologic said assessment and validation of its COVID-19 diagnostic test had begun this week at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and St Georges hospital, and that global partners would also examine the prototypes.

oof, that's a grim website. all based on one analysis, though. i see that it's based off of current information available, which makes sense, but it seems like the projections assume that the current amount of ICU beds available don't change over time. for example, for New York, it shows 718 ICU beds available right now (which seems really low? for Illinois they show we have 1,131 ICU beds right now. more than NY? holy shit if true), but also 718 ICU beds available a month from now, and in June. one would think NY will be able to at least slightly improve their situation? i don't know.

Really sorry for your loss, Fred.
Took my husband to the ER yesterday - he was complaining of shallow breathing, increased heart rate and night sweats. Thought it would be wise to get him checked out even though he didn’t have a fever and no known close contact with anyone positive. It wasn’t covid - turns out it was a panic attack. :/ He just didn’t know how to describe it. Take care of your loved ones, folks.

Bevon Bloise, a registered nurse at Mount Sinai West, complained on Facebook that the hospital does not have sufficient personal protective equipment, or P.P.E. “I’m also very angry with the Mount Sinai Health System for not protecting him. We do not have enough PPE, we do not have the correct PPE, and we do not have the appropriate staffing to handle this pandemic. And I do not appreciate representatives of this health system saying otherwise on the news.”

fucking NYT:
But in an interview Thursday night with Sean Hannity, the president played down the need for ventilators.
“I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators,” he said, a reference to New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo has appealed for federal help in obtaining them. “You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they’ll have two ventilators. And now all of a sudden they’re saying, ‘Can we order 30,000 ventilators?’”
Yet no response from the governors; his claim just sits there.
