However, he approached his boss about masks for him and his crew working at the hospital, and his boss (who is a great, conservative guy whom my son really respects) basically said that CV was a hoax perpetuated by the CDC to bring down President Trump. So now my son thinks it’s all fake.

Please send my regards to Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, FR dittoheads, etc. /sarc

CDC is a tower of incompetence right now, apparently. State and local health departments should be doing the heavy lifting. And why in heck do they need permission from the CDC to stock up on masks, tests, etc.? They should have just gone ahead and done so. Asking the CDC for permission is something best honored in the breach right now.

Yep. Sad thing is, my son was just referred for a promotion. He finally found his trade/niche and a great, salaried job. He does not want to rock the boat, but he feels very exposed. Regular flu has hospitalized him 3 times, requiring O2. We’re definitely worried.

Our local Hospital system is preparing now. They are already purchasing items. I think the only thing they are running low is the face mask.

The Tucson acupuncture clinic I visit posted the following notice yesterday:
In response to recent public health concerns, [the clinic] is implementing an illness policy. Please review this information. We appreciate your support in keeping our community safe.

Please allow 24 hours after the resolution of the following symptoms before returning to the clinic:

If you are currently experiencing the symptoms of a cold/upper respiratory infection, we ask that you bring a mask to wear during your treatment. We are currently unable to offer you one ourselves as masks are out of stock everywhere right now. If you would prefer not to wear a mask or unable to obtain one, we will ask you to reschedule your appointment and return when you are well.

We never charge for appointments missed due to illness. Thank you for your cooperation!

This is inadequate if people actually have COVID-19, but it's a beginning.

The use of steroid treatments might account for the high death rate in Iran (and Italy?). A week ago the death count was almost 20% of the case count. Now it’s just 5.5%.

By contrast, Korea is 0.5%. Seems like I read there was a realization several weeks ago that steroid treatment was problematic ... I’d guess they knew that in Korea.

Tuesday, the National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI) raised the Risk of Pandemic warning. It went from WATCHCON 2, a probable crisis, to WATCHCON 1, an imminent crisis, due to sustained human-to-human transmission outside of China, according to a report summary obtained by Newsweek.

the pen/stylus/ipad thingie they use.

No pen or stylus at one Walmart I patronize. You just trace your name on the pad with your finger.

And there are the credit card payment key pads at checkout. Definitely need the hand sanitizer after using those.

Yeah, they are too smart and conservative to fall for the ‘hysterical hoax.’ They’re waiting for confirmation...

Yeah right, they took down China, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Iran just to get a shot at Trump. And now they are making government appear criminally negligent and homicidal just to get Trump. That last sentence might be true. Lol. Dont combine the two. You can have a bad disease and a bad hoaxing left. You need to perhaps think deeper, what if the left is making you behave suicidal ? It is a possibility you should consider at least. They took the lead from China.

We use the touchpad pens (also available at Walmart...lol...in the electronics section) for signing for ANY packages, CC charges, and signing touchpad screens.

We then wipe off pen with disinfecting wipe.
