Trump should have put shelter in place on her SF address while she was still there.

The Prez is up on FOX news now.

VP Pence:
Earlier today 2000 ventilators from a stockpile were shipped to New York... 2000 more tomorrow.

Virtual town hall in progress... Trump coming up next.

My wife is a very devout Christian (Lutheran) and the sight of empty Walmart aisles put the fear of God in her!

I’d like to know the number of ventilators in use in NYC today.

They can also project how many they will need a week from now, but how many are in use right NOW?

“but forgot to mention there are microbes you can spray on your greens”

Bacillus Thuringiensis.

BT spray.

Pot growers buy it by the gallon.

Back to school, anyone? anyone?

If New York is in really bad shape in two weeks, how will people across the country respond to that?

I think it's important to differentiate New York from New York City.

The vast majority of the cases are in NYS and adjacent counties.

That's the difference between devout and demented. The people running that school are demented.

Yes. I remember those stories. People from all over the world sending their masks to China. How stupid could we be ? And then the China hospitals not having staff available to even open the boxes. They showed them all just piled up in a storage room.

Will be precise as possible: The majority of the cases are in NYS and adjacent counties.

I've read that most of those donated supplies ended up being stolen for use by the PLA and the politburo. Very few reached the doctors and nurses who needed them.

On the floor laughing at that one.. so true

Thanks Mariner. I went to look and saw I was out. Will have to reorder.

[Jane Long]

Does DeSantis truly believe these fleeing NY/CT/NJers are REALLY going to self=quarantine, for two weeks????

This guy has fallen way down, on any pedestal I ever had him on.

I saw a red eye person who was sick in my last trip to the grocery store. Over a month ago. Very distinct kind of look. And yes it was weird coloration. Not the normal bloodshot eyes. Have no idea if that person had it, but the forehead was also sweaty.
