I’m so sorry to hear about your friend with the dog! I hope and pray that she has loved ones nearby that can check in and help her. I live on a 5th floor walk-up, so I understand how difficult it is when you are hurt or sick to get yourself down all those stairs.
It’s been a real nightmare situation now. But at 7pm everyone in my neighborhood applauded the healthcare workers from their apartments. The applause was deafening and made me get weepy. It feels like 9/11. Most all NYers want so badly to help, and to do the right thing.
I saw photos of the setup at Javits and it looked really nice.
I saw photos of those refrigerated makeshift morgue trucks. It’s horrible.
One bright spot for us, Charon, is that they think plasma from people with coronavirus antibodies could help the very sick. I had no symptoms at all today (and like I mentioned before, I’m pretty sure that I was exposed to it.) They said you’ve had to experienced symptoms “21 days ago” to qualify for the new antibody test, and I’m not quite there yet (just over 2 weeks for me.) BUT as soon as 21 days hits I will get immediately tested for antibodies in case I could help. I saw on the news that as soon as they put the call out, already thousands of NYers are trying to test/donate for the antibodies!
