Because the masses arent infected everywhere. It slows spread.
now that’s an odd item to limit, cream cheese.
those people working with the sick in nursing homes are ESSENTIAL.....and I wish they would be paid that way....
with a different leader, they might have been told, oh, you went to England, so you're quarantined for 14 days before you can re-enter Canada ;)

Well, as you probably know, the number one source of funding for nursing homes is Medicaid. That is paid to the owner, who in turn pays the nurses.
Medicaid reimbursement rates barely cover operations costs—that is the problem...even a 10% pay raise for nurses would put many nursing homes out of business.
(I was involved in that business before I retired...)
Brilliant thread on early response!

97% of our antibiotics come from China.
When what we have now runs out where do you think the supply will be handled from?
China has already indicated that any startup in that sector will be for their domestic use only...
This isn’t a commodity that people buy at costco in bulk.
It’s shots people get for strep throat. It’s antibiotics for urinary tract infections. Antibiotics for pneumonia...
This isn’t a ‘we’ll just get more later’. That works with things like TP. You can make an improvised solution for that. You won’t LIKE the solution but you won’t die without toilet paper.
If you have strep throat and need an antibiotic though...
Lochner Washington State update:
102 cases, 16 deaths
They join the infamous “100 club”!
all cases in this country originate from someone traveling and coming back sick.......
It would seem likely that a person being treated for cancer might have a friend or relative in assisted living that they would want to visit.
