XMPP Summit - 2020-02-04


  1. jabberjocke

    You can add me Joachim lindborg as remote as well

  2. dwd

    Hey all. I've come down with a bit of a serious illness, and now the Doctor is talking to public health Wales to see if I need isolating. Is anyone else ill after the conference?

  3. MattJ

    I'm fine

  4. Intosi

    I'm a bit under the weather, but it feels like nothing more than a cold.

  5. Guus

    dwd: sorry to hear that. Scary. I'm recovering.

  6. dwd

    Right. I suspect it's a corona virus, but not the corona virus, add it happens to have hit me hard.

  7. Guus

    Maybe reach out to FOSDEM too?

  8. Guus

    dwd: are you being tested for "the" corona?

  9. dwd

    I don't know yet. Doctor's calling back after she's contacted the authorities.

  10. Guus

    My symptoms were definitely not respiratory related

  11. winfried

    The first thing my doctor did, was putting me on antibiotics for my ear... still not there though. guess that isn't corona either...

  12. dwd

    Mine are a good match, of course. Which scares my wife more than me.

  13. Guus

    I can imagine.

  14. Guus

    Maybe a test would be good to rule things out, put minds at ease.

  15. MattJ

    Thanks for letting us know though, obviously - and hope you feel better soon

  16. winfried

    dwd: incubation time of corona is two weeks, if it is related to the summit / fosdem then it isn't corona..

  17. MattJ

    I'm sure it's in the back of most of our minds the past week or so, but I personally weighed the risk to be pretty small

  18. dwd

    Up to two weeks. My understanding was it could be three days.

  19. Intosi

    That was my assessment as well. My symptoms fit with the usual rhinovkrls

  20. Intosi

    That was my assessment as well. My symptoms fit with the usual rhinovirus.

  21. Guus

    winfried: not true. Can be anywhere from 1 to 14 days

  22. Guus

    Commonly 5 to 10, iirc

  23. Guus

    The put returnees in isolation for 14 days. That's a good indication that the incubation time is not expected to be any longer.

  24. MattJ

    Hmm, BBC article from an hour ago lists one reported case in Brussels

  25. MattJ

    60sec of web search leads to:

  26. MattJ

    > Belgian media reported over the weekend that a patient was admitted to Saint-Pierre hospital in central Brussels, showing symptoms of the Coronavirus. However, the health ministry confirmed the man does not have the virus.

  27. MattJ

    But yeah, it would be a bit soon I think

  28. Guus

    I think so too. Let's wait for the experts to have made a diagnosis.

  29. Guus

    In any case, all the best to you and your family, Dave. This must be an unsettling experience.

  30. dwd

    Probably nothing. But my wife is a little worried.

  31. kingu

    dwd: Shake a leg!

  32. Guus

    dwd: when do you expect an update from the authorities?

  33. MattJ

    I'd be surprised if the answer was anything other than "soon"

  34. dwd

    Amazingly not. Seems that public health Wales are slow.

  35. Daniel

    I have a very slight cold. Probably unrelated. But I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for letting us know.

  36. kingu

    Daniel: You will be the last to go, don't worry.

  37. dwd

    Heard back. Seems I'm most likely safe, but the Doctor will come and see me tomorrow to make sure.

  38. Guus

    Good

  39. winfried

    dwd: good to hear, but still get better soon!
