No but be careful with that. On numerous occasions I have seen military vehicles being transported by rail. Also, unless they say the date or talk about Coronovius in the video I would be pretty skeptical of when it was taken.
Also, how many people are just sitting around and noticing things now. Life has slowed way down for many and they are noticing things they didn’t before.
Why do you think I posed the question?
Looking for any kind of conformation because I am a very skeptic person and I feel I could trust sources here to some extent.
Also, this forum is my only social media outlet.
Appreciate your input, thanks!

Yeah. That's why I was answering. Not being accusatory just saying be careful as it's easy to fake videos by downloading and uploading to get a new date.
Hey, I get it .
Trust in the fact that I;m a very technical person and I fully understand your meaning.
I am familiar/aware that our military transport equipment all the time, but based on the comments of some of those video clips, some being truckers that stated that they are seeing above normal presence of military equipment in several parts of the country just over the last 48 hours has me wanting to ask here on this forum if anyone else is seeing or hearing the same thing.
Now, whether they are speaking the truth on the sources I have viewed is yet to be determined, but then again, I had to ask.
I appreciate all the sharing of information here on this thread very much so and I can only hope that we all can continue to participate in the manner that we are in this together.
Thanks a bunch everybody!
Our youngest is running a low grade fever. Easy to dismiss before the Coronavirus. Immediate anxiety now.
Prayers from mine to yours that it’s run of the mill.
She been anywhere that’d make you concerned? Just remember, she’s a kid. She’ll have low grade fevers periodically. Mine used too spike em cutting teeth...
She had a wellness exam at the doctor yesterday. She acts fine, no cough. Just hold on and hope for the best. Being married to a nurse means we're in the front lines in this house.
It’s all good buddy, chances are slim. Let her enjoy the puppies and don’t worry about it....
Extra scoop of ice cream for her. Maybe for you too. It’s easy to tell you to relax from here.

^^ Dave gets it! Any scratchy throat, sneeze, cough, low fever and we all end up on edge with what’s going on when in the past you wouldn’t think anything of it. Definitely thinking of you and your family Jesse and all of TOO.
nightly news says regular flu is still going on strong right now as well....hope she pops right out of it.
The previous posters have great info for you. Also treat it only with acetaminophen just on the odd chance that it is Covid 19. Though as a fellow healthcare provider I understand your concern and anxiety.
I know I'm not the only healthcare provider on here. I also know there are a few others like Jesse with healthcare providers in their family. I have some information that can help them out. As many of you have probably seen in the news, personal protective equipment (PPE) is in short supply for the amount of patient care that we are probably facing. That and the major manufacturing centers are located in areas already hard hit by the virus so replacing our supply isn't likely soon. Due to the type of transmission (droplet/airborne) masks specifically the N95 masks are one of the best ways to protect the healthcare provider. The supply is so short that many hospitals are having their employees use them multiple times rather than as a disposable item. Also, the CDC recently came out with the recommendation that under crisis situations a scarf or bandanna can be used (found here). However there is another option. Lowes, Home Depot, Sherwin Williams, and automotive supply stores sell the 3m respirators that many people use when dealing with mold, asbestos, drywall dust, etc. They have filters with different ratings. The most common are N95, N100, P95, and P100 in the ones I've found. Those are the same types of filtration that we use in the traditional N95 masks. The 95 is the same as the masks we use where the 100 filters better. The P is for organic petroleum distallates but still works for viruses.
What I'm suggesting is buying or pulling from your workshop those masks and spare filters. Per the manufacturer they are actually good for up to 30 days. Then go to harbor freight or similar store and get a clear face shield. The clear shield will further protect your face and the filter from contamination and can easily be decontaminated with a bleach solution.
There are MANY other anesthesia providers who are being faced with no PPE in their institutions that are buying these already. This is how we're going to protect ourselves if/when we get to the point of no PPE but still patients to care for. I am providing this information so you can help protect yourselves and your family members.
I've bought 4 this week along with extra filters and mailed them to colleagues who couldn't find them locallly. So these are (currently) being overlooked by many of the hoarders.

Jesse.. As said earlier, she's a kid, they are always running low grade fevers.. I'm sure she's ok.. I'll say an extra prayer tonight that she's back to normal tomorrow and driving you crazy...
