So the inspectors are just now being considered as a risk for spreading the disease? (cue Anthrax)

An inspector working in Central California added: “We’re missing the whole point of public health 101, and we’re the public health department.”
As coronavirus ravaged nursing homes, inspectors were not being tested
State inspectors worry they could be unwittingly spreading coronavirus from nursing home to nursing home while doing their jobs.

Yeah. And who makes money curing disease? I thought the goal was to alleviate the symptoms just enough so that patients need to take the drug daily for life.
Well they're not american so they're probably actual problem solvers instead of crisis milkers.

I believe that 100%.
So, Saturday night I had a semi-scary heart issue. Around 2am I woke to my heart RACING, like sprinting-level heart rate. It lasted a minute or two, long enough to consider calling somebody. Still fatigued every day too. That said, my physical and blood work was all normal (and the Dr. didn't test for antibodies even though I asked them to)
Nick, I'd suggest you go to a cardiologist. They'll probably put you on a holter monitor to wear a week at home.
I'm in the same boat. Weird cardiac shit.
I've taken the approach of just going for a bike ride and trying to induce heart attack or death. Since our fucked up health system doesn't do shit until there's real evidence slapping some of these arrogant GPs in this town straight in the face.

That's scary! I'm with Toshi, go see a cardiologist! I just started trail riding again 3 months ago and having a heart attack is on my mind while riding especially at the beginning as my heart rate climbs. Waiting for Amazon Prime Day next week and will buy an iWatch 5 as it has the ECG app. I figure it can't hurt and I can keep a closer eye on whats going on with my heart. I know it cant sense a heart attack, but can't hurt to have it. The days of feeling invincible are long gone especially at 54. Getting old sucks, but way better than the alternative.
Well, unfortunately I have experience with racing hearts. I had a few afib episodes starting in my mid20s (dayum) and got ablated succesfully (knock on wood).
Apple uses the same bits and algorithms as the Kardia mobile from alivecor.com. If you don‘t want to buy the whole watch, check this little tool out.
It‘s a single lead ECG that can detect irregular heartbeat such as afib, or other supraventricular or ventricular tachycardias (abnormal fast heartbeats). Very useful to detect these beasts as they are usually very hard to get them on paper, since they usually don‘t show up in the hospital. I have one. It works great.
@Nick Like aformentioned, go to a cardiologist first and check if your heart structure and ecg is ok.
If so, don‘t worry too much. There are a lot of abnormal heartbeats, but only ventricular tachycardias are very dangerous but very rare.
That said, it is important to get them on paper if they are happening repeatedly, so a Kardia or the Apple watch might be useful.

How Jared Kushner’s Secret Testing Plan “Went Poof Into Thin Air”
This spring, a team working under the president’s son-in-law produced a plan for an aggressive, coordinated national COVID-19 response that could have brought the pandemic under control. So why did the White House spike it in favor of a shambolic 50-state response?
Bold move Cotton. Familiarized myself with heart rhythms since 2014, what you described could be a no. of irreg. or regular but very rapid rhythms. Like what others have said, an appt. with a cardiologist would be the best move. If he's aggro enough, he'll have you wear a holter monitor, maybe an echocardiogram too. Gluck, hopefully its just a one time thing that'll never come back.
As I've said many times, I think "air conditioning" has a not insignificant role here with indoor heating previous and soon to be having a future role further north. But there ain't no accountin for idaho in that logic.

We all gon get laid off.
www.cnbc.com
Nearly half of all furloughed workers now believe their temporary layoff will become permanent
In April, roughly 2 in 10 households experiencing job loss considered their layoff permanent. Now, as states have stalled or reversed reopening plans and the coronavirus outbreak worsens, nearly half of unemployed workers think their job is not coming back.

Best of luck to her. The uncertainty is the worst. I don't think I would survive this without riding bikes.Wife has been working harder than me at my job since April trying to find a new job since she was laid off.
I enjoyed my 2010 layoff. When I finally got an offer I asked if I could delay my start date by two months. Then I quit a year later and took 2 years off for grad school. But I was financially prepared for such a situation, mostly because of a $700 mortgage payment. Far from something I enjoy now.
