yes he was positive and based on my exposure to him and my symptoms I was told by local medical personal to just assume I have it

as for my case I was sitting as a small gathering 2 weeks ago and spent a long time talking to someone next to me . He called me a couple of days later that he is not feeling well and went in for a test. when I tried to get a test they refused me unless I had contact with a confirmed case or was over 60 .By the time the results came back for this person (it took 6 days because the labs were so backed up) they were no longer giving tests even if you had a confirmed contact they just told me to assume I have it slightly less then 5 days after my exposure(reading online it seems that is the average incubation period ) I came down with fever and a cough for 2 days and then felt totally better. I have yet to receive guidance to at what point I am no longer contagious to others .I have asked 3 different medical personal and received 3 different answers. I think that they really have no idea.I was told 14 days from my exposure ,14 days from when I exhibited symptoms or 48 hours from when I felt better Also the assumption seems to be that once you get it you can't get it again but nobody really knows for sure

from the Washington post I guess this is the reason they refuse to test anyone under 60 New York City’s Daskalakis said people with a manageable fever and cough who aren’t at high risk for severe illness should assume they have covid-19. Seeking a test exposes health care workers administering them and wastes resources, since nothing would change for those individuals based on their results, he said. There is no approved treatment for the disease. A “negative” test could also provide false reassurance as covid-19 has become widespread, he said. When one of his patients with symptoms — who sought a test against his advice — got a negative result, Daskalakis told the person to presume he had the disease anyway and to isolate himself. New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, which treated the state’s first coronavirus case, is testing only a minority of the hundred-plus patients with respiratory symptoms who come to the emergency department each day, said Jolion McGreevy, the emergency department medical director. AD “The default assumption is yes — anyone who comes in with any kind of fever, cough, respiratory symptom, flu-like illness, we’re making the assumption that they have this,” he said, based on the prevalence of community transmission in New York. “It’s very likely you have it. There’s no benefit for you to test.”

as someone living in the ny area i can tell you that as of right now in my immediate area they are not testing anyone under 60 period. You can have exposure to a confirmed case and they will not test you.The only exception is if you are really sick. This would seem to indicate that the numbers will be very off because a significant percent of people that have it will not get tested so the percent of people hospitalized etc. will be really off

it depends when you signed up to sell but most sellers don't have access to the buyers number-if you signed up to sell within a certain time frame when at that point amazon was showing phone numbers they ocntinue to do so on that account however all new sellers do not see phone numbers as far as I understand

actually you are somewhat incorrect and somewhat correct. They charge you a monthly storage fee based on how much cubic feet of storage you take up.There is no difference between regular and oversized except that one takes up more cubic feet then the other. The difference between regular and oversized is in the handling fees that they charge you when they ship your item. A oversized item (every medium to large lego set is oversized even a 9462 is oversized )The storage fee is significantly significantly higher in the fourth quarter. The long term storage fee ( think about 22 dollars for a helms deep) is only after 12 months not 10. Also for every return they charge you a return processing fee (about 5 dollars except on a very low value item) plus they charge you to ship it back to you. Even if you ask they to destroy it they charge you a disposal fee. Smitty I used to send high value items but I got burned twice with pieces missing. I really tried hard to get reimbursed from amazon because they never should have excepted a return when the customer stole part of my item. It did not work for me and I tried multiple times with different customer service agents.If you somehow get them to reimburse you please let me know the trick.(through pm ) As for what smitty said about being careful in nov I second that through bitter experience. When Microsoft came out with the Kinect in nov.it was going for a 100 dollar profit(after factoring in all fees etc.). I sold 11 of them through fba. The return period on fba items is through the end of January. 8 of the 11 people returned it in January. Only 2 of the 8 returned the one that was sold them. (Every Kinect had a unique serial number and I recorded mine before sending to fba -there was no commingling on kinects every one had a individual sticker). Every retail store except amazon attached the serial number to your receipt so I got stuck with 6 kinects as they didn't match my receipts. I had to sell them at a loss because they were available everywhere in january. After factoring my initial cost to ship to amazon and the cost to ship to the customer plus amazons return fees adding the charge to ship back to me plus selling at a slight loss to undercut retail(then paying commission and shipping charges on top of the slight loss) my 1100 dollar initial profit turned into a 500 dollar loss all because I used fba and lost control of the return process. there can be extremely large drawbacks if you aren't careful.

if you add the shipping you pay to ship it to them and paying them to ship it out for you you are paying twice to ship the same item.Add the cost of storage which can be quite high and all the extra returns you get it should be a money loser. The primary benefit should be convenience and of course to get convenience you have to pay and in this case you are paying amazon to ship it for you. The question is -for me is it worth x amount of dollars to pay someone to ship my products.
