Puerto Rico is instating a curfew and requiring non-essential businesses to close their doors, as the U.S. territory tries to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
“If we don’t act now with determinations and force, the consequences tomorrow will be even worse,” Gov. Wanda Vázquez said on Sunday during a national address.
The island of 3.2 million people now has five confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and several other cases are still awaiting testing.

They should be in pretty good shape, seeing how they still have the supplies from the last hurricane squirreled away in warehouses.
Are they begging for billions of $$$$ again?
This seems like a perfect time for Trump to appoint AOC as Czarina of PR
At least they have months of supplies still sitting in warehouses from that last hurricane.
Yup, those supplies are long gone, sold off and stolen.
............
The point I make is the level of thinking going on at leadership levels all over.
............
Look at New Rochelle, curfews and area wide quarantines are likely coming to us all. National Guard roadblocks???????
This level of thinking was already tried - Hitler, Stalin, China, Cuba......
A doctor friend of mine is in a meeting today where the hospital is going to stop all elective surgeries AND start cutting salaries of workers and doctors in order to have enough capital to handle influx of pandemic patients...and this is before there are any confirmed cases in the area.
Yup, we’ll get through this, at least most of us....
.........
Makes me wonder if we will completely retreat from this medical martial law when it’s all over.
They won’t cut medical worker pay.
Papers please !
On a lighter note, a friend in the rec weed business says that sales are triple and rising, they may run out.........
probably not.
Just what we need — spooked Democrats persuading America to shut itself down.
China kept their grocery stores open.
They won’t close grocery stores and pharmacies.
............
Likely fever screening and curfews and quantity limits.
............
Costco shutdown all counter service ice cream sales, geez.
I’ve heard from many that their bone marrow transplants have been put on hold. Those are not really elective. There’s a small window of opportunity to have one. Blood cancer patients work to get into remission, and need it at that point. If they relapse while waiting - that’s a problem. So, Chemo has to continue. It’s a serious thing. Definitely not elective.
Here it is! What the left was waiting for! A disaster in Puerto Rico, so they can redefine it as a Trump failure. They are skilled at doing this. They were successful with Bush/Katrina. The entire news establishment will support the democrat party in their endevor.
When will the first public condemnation come out blaming Trump? I predict, tomorrow.
“Hitler, Stalin, China, Cuba......”
............
Hmmmmm. Comrade Bernie will soon be braying like a mule.
That's what's on the table.
