Having spent the day on the phone talking to local experts of various stripes, there are *many* very serious, knowledgeable people who fear this analysis is correct; NYC is headed for a Wuhan or Lombardy-style healthcare system crash.
Yup...

Well then the code monkeys are going to have to go to work dang fast. Or give the swapped out doctors authorization (a resting doctor’s name and password?) and assign ‘em a PA or nurse who knows how the system works. (Believe me, I am quite aware of the difficulties of using a different software package than one is used to.)
It’s ridiculous that there are no overrides or protocols for an emergency situation.

"Sod off swampy." A lot of the crash was that oil prices fell 30% overnight due to the pissing match between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
That was on TOP of the panic fueled by the lugenpresse over the Wuhan Flu.
Notice how the Dow jumped 2000 points during President Trump's press conference?
People now know we have real leadership.
No matter what Hillary's and George Sore-Ass's and China's paid trolls reading teleprompters say.

if someone tested positive for the flu would they still test for Covid19Great question, Janet. There are respiratory lab panels which were used up to the past few weeks which included influenza, other coronavirus strains and Strep. As I have posted previously, Influenza and Strep. pharyngitis have been occurring simultaneously in many patients this season.
Testing for both influenza and COVID-19 is up to physician judgment. I recall one case of confirmed influenza a couple of weeks ago which did not respond to Tamiflu. The patient returned due to worsening symptoms. COVID-19 was suspected at that time.
Fortunately, patients with influenza aren't likely to be out in public due to feeling so poorly. If they are also infected with unconfirmed COVID-19, there is low risk of community spread because the patient is to weak and miserable to be out and about.

I went ahead and wrapped the store packages in aluminum foil. There was some frost on the inside of the plastic, but the meats still looked red (beef) and pink (chicken), so I doubt lasting harm was done.

An interesting paper on a possible explanation for the treatment with chloroquine phosphate and the risk to diabetic patients. You're going to need a lot of coffee for this one.
Many of these patients have underlying diseases such as diabetes. Diabetic patients have higher glycated hemoglobin. Glycated hemoglobin is a combination of hemoglobin and blood glucose, which is another reason of the high infection rate for older people.

That will help a lot.
If there was frost on the packaging, then it’s evidence that they would be freezer burning soon enough.
Since the meat looked good, then it was likely just moisture inside the package and not freezer burn.

Definitely not a woman making those calculations! I figure a roll a day.

Tingling should always be checked out anyways.
It’s an unusual symptom and IIRC not ever a good one.
