You seem awfully panicky about other people’s concerns.
Sorry if already posted:
U.S. hospitals are setting up circus-like triage tents, calling doctors out of retirement, guarding their supplies of face masks and making plans to cancel elective surgery as they brace for an expected onslaught of coronavirus patients.

Germany can pound sand. As far as I know, they are still letting it run wild, just like the UK.
This article says 3,200 ICU beds in New York state.

“Norwegian Cruise Line managers urged salespeople to spread falsehoods about coronavirus”
Can’t say I’m surprised. I was actually booked with them in on a Feb 6th cruise that went to much of Asia (other than China and Japan). Me and my wife (wisely) bailed, and the cruise wound up being a disaster for those who went as that ship (The Jade) was denied docking in Vietnam, where they planned 4 stops (Vietnam was the whole point of the cruise), and Hong Kong, where the cruise was to end (no known Coronavirus cases on board, though). NCL then tried to get a cruise with that boat going from Singapore to Dubai, but gave up and sailed it empty (I think) to Dubai, and now it gets to sit tight in Dubai for at least a month, which makes sense, as I doubt it has anywhere available to take passengers...it was supposed to be steaming around the Mediterranean at this time.
We only lost $2.5k due to our crappy cabin (no balcony), but would have lost closer to $7.0k if we went on that crappy cruise. Anyway, as to salespeople lying about Coronavirus, that didn’t surprise me either, as my ‘Cruise Expert’ has a criminal record, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a current inmate. In his case, I could tell by his voice and inflection, so I looked up his name and found him in Florida, with the people-finder site stating that he does have a criminal record - although I’d have to subscribe to know exactly what he did.
“If you can’t tell the difference between dreams and reality, there’s a good chance you’re psychotic.”
But you deny that anything you don’t want to accept is real.
In any case, normal people do experience nightmares and lucid dreams that seem real while they are experiencing them. If they can’t tell the difference after they wake up, then there might be a problem.
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, per Picasso, or as an old friend of mine once said, “When I was a phony, art was real.”
Got anything better to treat this?
If you do, oh Greta. Please share it with us
OH I KNOW. You wouldnt because it might put an end to the panic you have helped to spread.
What are you all gonna do when the general violence starts within the population centers? You going to man up and take the blame for the panic you all spread?
Add to that tons of undiagnosed cases, resolved or otherwise, with a possibility of some people getting broad-spectrum antibiotics for a bad case of “pneumonia” that won’t respond to the antibiotics.

Good article—and very good to see..tents (nor triage :-( ).
It gives you a toolbar for adding html tags to format your posts here. Nice time saver and helps with those of you who don’t know html.
Am awfully concerned when people who start a panic, which might result in mass violence, wont stop spreading the panic which WILL result in MORE DEATHS from the violence than the illness.
I think you need to speed dial people to lend your expertise since you know so much more than they do
Start with Nike. they are shutting down all stores
My primary care physician is the one who prescribed it.
I have thought about calling him, but am afraid I would need an appointment.
Quite frankly, I don’t want to go to a doctor’s office unless I have an emergency.
