Good idea. A bit unfortunate naming.
They wanted to put it blunt. And hence such a name...
I used to do this when I was 15.

#12The page lacks something about how to deal with kids. That's a huge point for those of us that have toddlers and kids at home.

Here's a guy who's an expert on COVID-19 because he reads the internet. If you have symptoms that feel like death I am telling you to discount this persons' advice, get yourself to the doctor because you may very well be dying.
Also a site that's just better:
https://www.zocdoc.com/about/coronavirus-covid-19-2/
Here's the advice from this site:
>Contact your primary care provider before going to their office. Be sure to let them know if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, or if you’ve recently traveled to an area where the virus is spreading, whether or not you have symptoms. If you don’t have a doctor to contact, you can also reach out to your local board of health.
^^that up there is proper advice.

"Blunt" just comes off as puerile. Why should I take you seriously when you talk like a teenager.
I believe they are up for a noble cause. Please focus their self-quarantine manifesto rather than the "words" they used.

#16Seems like focusing on blaming individuals rather than: - Employers don't allow telecommuting. - Employers with draconian sick leave policies. - No paid sick leave for the majority of jobs (and or strict limits). - Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19 (Vs. a common cold). Which is significant with e.g. Walmarts new policies which ONLY allow Covid-19 paid sick leave. Ultimately we set up a system whe…
I don't see any blame (except for "our governments"), I see advice.

#18Quick question ... wouldn't a more appropriate response be to self quarantine those age groups most at risk?
People who are less at risk of complications have the same / more (because they survive and are more active) risk of spreading the illness.

#19We started to do this in Spain today and we're LATE.
Please stay at home if possible, the idea is to reduce the amount of infected and spread the infection over time so we do not saturate the hospitals.
Don't need to panic, just do it.

> Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19
This is a huge one, at least in France. A friend recently tried to get tested because he was coughing heavily and had a fever. His doctor asked if he went to Italy or China recently, he said no, his doctor replied "Well then you don't have it." and that was the end of it.
