It mentions here if you scroll down to opioids. Opioid-induced myoclonus pulls up more. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3966544/ It was something our psychiatrist made a pretty big deal about because my son is on one of those anti-psychotic medications that trigger the effects and he has severe symptoms from it. She said to have her office contacted if he is ever given opioids because they could trigger on their own, but especially because he already has symptoms.

Movement disorders can also be triggered by many medications, including opioids and certain anti-psychotics.

It can be very difficult to get an emergency inpatient psychiatric admission without someone actively trying to harm themselves or others. Hallucination by itself or even with something like OCD won't usually trigger it, unless voices are advocating violence and the person is acting on that. You really do need a psychiatrist involved if the goal is a planned admission for medication adjustment, but also be prepared that it would likely be very short term. I agree with pursuing some of the other possible medical causes at the same time.

We have a couple extra tanks on hand. Our insurance wouldn't cover it so we might have had to pay a little extra when we first got them? Or maybe if we have had to refill more than the insurance allots? But our supplier had no issues with us asking for it. They want us to have it when we need it.

As much criticism as I have had for the way China has not been open about numbers and has controlled information getting out, we don't seem to be doing any better. Not testing so there are no results to speak of, and now this.

I was going from the point of view that you can read about how to do math, but you can't use math to learn how to read. Not that it is ideal or a kid should be expected to do things that way.

Whatever program you decide on, I would focus almost entirely on reading in the beginning. If you can read, you can self-teach a lot of math. If you read enough, you will learn the basics of how to write. I would triage under the assumption that your ability to help may be cut off at some point, and you want to be able to make the biggest impact possible. A solid reading foundation is your best bet.

An R0 between 4.7 and 6.6 honestly makes a lot more sense than the previous predictions.

This seems tied to the fecal route of transmission they are finding. As an unfortunate example of possible transmission, our area has had extreme rainfall and sewer overflow lately. That's not good. It is also going to be especially difficult in areas where people don't consistently use sanitary sewer systems, like parts of India. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/08/toilet-defecate-outdoors-stunting-sanitation/

Plus it sounds like college students and school age kids are going to be minimally sick compared to other groups. So they have the potential to be out and about and spreading it without knowing. In a flu epidemic that spread would be limited more because they would also be sick and staying home. Schools here decide to close to prevent the spread of the flu all the time, but they base that on students being out sick.

Just keep an eye out if you want to get a built up supply that it is not a controlled substance, which several of ours are. Which stinks. Another thing we are doing? Keeping up on aerobic exercise. It only takes a couple weeks to greatly increase your body's aerobic capacity. Get healthier, especially if you have a complicating medical condition and it's something that diet and exercise can influence. That's honestly the case for my husband and his medical needs. Typical American lifestyle hypertension and cholesterol stuff. I'm trying to make the point to him that if it was the difference between life and death, would that be a motivator? Because coronavirus or not, in the long term it is the difference between life and death. On the other hand it would be impossible for my teen to exercise away lung failure, so the options for some people are limited.

I wouldn't say plan for six months of groceries or die, but if people are saying they literally don't have enough food for two weeks on hand then a couple bags of dry goods are better than nothing. Throw a blanket over them and let the kids use them as spare seating LOL! (Just had this discussion with the 9 year old after our last shopping trip. "Mom, it's just like a bean bag chair!" "Yes kiddo, because it is a bag of beans. Now get off so I can put it away.") There are people in my neighborhood whose kids get two meals a day at school and sometimes don't have a third meal that day. I have no idea how it would work for people in the housing projects here to be quarantined with kids home from school all day. All that other stuff is a good idea to get too. We have just recently switched to monthly ordering, and it is wild what things we go through. Chargers and universal remotes, every month. Some things people might not typically have on hand like pulse oximeters are good too. The little finger clip ones are good for spot-checking heart rate and O2 sats. You don't need to be a medical professional to use those, and that's good information to have if you need to make a decision on whether or not to see a doctor. We have a kid who uses oxygen so we are getting tanks refilled now rather than waiting, even though we usually wouldn't swap out a single empty tank. Not panic kind of stuff. Just "Hey, might be a good time to be ahead of the game on this," sort of thinking.

Yeah, filling our giant rice cooker and dumping dry beans in our instant pot are one of my lazy autopilot meals. For what it's worth, Sam's here has 50 lbs of pintos for $25. We get rice by the 100 lb bag at the restaurant supply store for about $30. Most people aren't feeding as many people as we are, but that just means it would last longer for most families. It's a pretty cheap back up plan to have on hand.

The CDC has still only listed 426 tested, and are now only updating their page on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's not gone up significantly (maybe at all? I don't know where it was before) in the last week. Are they really not testing more people?

Flu season already maxes things here. My super complex kid got bumped from the ICU to a regular floor because "you are with her and you are knowledgeable" and they needed the beds for other people. Kids often wait in the ER's critical care unit until beds open on the actual floor. People wait days to be transferred to the university hospital from other hospital ERs in the state. That's the same hospital designated for our state for these kinds of outbreaks. People want to either be among the very first to catch this so that there are adequate medical resources, or among the very last to catch it so that we have discovered effective treatments.

Beyond having food for a few weeks on hand without going out, I'm having trouble imagining the financial aftermath of two or three weeks of quarantine for most of the population. Not working for three weeks would be a major emergency on its own for a lot of people. We live in the middle of a city that is mostly below the poverty level.

If they get SSI they will get medicaid attached to it. You would need to have a rental agreement for SSI anyway. Their check would go up by that amount and they would pay you it every month. In our state it is just over $250. The biggest factors for me would be why you are the option for the young adult if family members are still in the picture.

https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/anniston-fema-center-to-be-used-as-part-of-coronavirus-quarantine/ There's a lot of local news talk about how they are moving people who have tested positive but with minimal symptoms here to Alabama. People are pretty upset about the risk of transmission. We haven't seen much transmission between identified patients here in the US, so these people who have been tested positive aren't my biggest concern. It's the people who have flown under the radar and not been tested yet. I'm disappointed with how few tests the CDC has done at this point. It's hard to catch cases when you aren't looking for them.

It is interesting that Facebook is now sharing the CDC recommendations. I don't know if the CDC pays for them to advertise or how that works. Do they have other advertising going on right now?

Have there been any reports from inside of Wuhan in the last week? It seems like information coming out has really clamped down.

Try not to feel bad. Keeping junk won't make it go anywhere different in the end. It will just be in your way longer.

The correlation is the lack of organizational structure, combined with the lack of home routines. People don't have clean sheets on the bed, but they have ten sets of sheets piled up taking space somewhere. Beds become a surface to put things on when there are no other places for things to go. There are certain habits that are pretty common when people aren't managing well. Piling stuff in the tub is another one. It was mind blowing to a teen we mentored that we didn't pile all our laundry in an unused bathtub.

I once saw a checklist for a hoarder scale. Not having sheets on the bed was on there. Ever since then I am fanatical about this. I don't care so much about flat sheets on top, but they have to have a fitted sheet on there at all times. My kids look at me like I'm crazy! They will strip the bed to make a fort, or want to wait for a certain set of sheets to come out of the wash, and here I come with a fitted sheet to put on the mattress.

I have been curious about the reinfection reports too. They sound dire, but I also have not seen them anywhere reputable. I saw the Ukraine story. The reaction of the people is wrong, but at the same time this spreading within Ukraine would be awful. I have more respiratory support equipment in my house and better training than what you would find in the regional hospitals in most of the country. We are talking IVs hanging from soda bottles, wounds draining into more soda bottles on the floor, a single crumbling sink to wash hands for the entire hospital floor. TB in the population. The stress of being under attack from Russia for 6 years has not been kind to the people or the systems that support a country during medical emergencies.

Right, you want a low balance, but if you have a zero balance at statement closing that month some cards don't update that with the credit bureaus. If a card doesn't have any activity posted to the credit bureaus for a while certain scoring versions give that card's available credit less weight. There's obviously a huge difference between letting a $10 balance report vs a card almost at its limit, which you are correct that you don't want. Zero balances also boost your score more than low balances, as long as they have reported some balance in the past few months. For example, I have a card with a high limit that I haven't used in almost a year. If I was trying to boost my score right now I would spend a small amount and let that report, then pay it off to zero again.
