Rush and all the other skeptics should read Race Bannons last few posts on the previous corona thread. He gives us the science and the lab history.

Knowing the science is the key to understanding how dangerous this is. That, and where it came from, and how it got so huge.

“The DMV?...Great....folks had to wait HOURS, to catch COVID-19, from this spreader”

So just how important is it for everyone to come in to register (or inspect) their cars? Nice luxury when times are good...life risking when a virus is making the rounds.

I found a bottle of Clorox on a shelf way high up where it didn’t belong. Probably someone hiding it till later, too much stuff to carry home.

“I expected the butflubros to be trampling or getting trampled, I said nothing about stabbings.”

Not as many now. Perhaps they’re stuck in the lines at Costco?

Andrew Cuomo is a natural leader. His father. He is only finding his role now. God bless him.

“Not being someone who waits for a panic to stock up may be depriving me of a better understanding regarding how they think.”

I’m guessing that they don’t think. Three weeks ago I told my family to get ready. One thought it wouldn’t get bad, the other was focused on their vacation and this wasn’t even on their mind.

I did get the one to go out and do some preps about two weeks ago. I have no idea what the other one will find (after their airplane flight) what things are like back home.

The one that did get some stuff and changed their travel plans asked me how I knew in advance. “Well - there is this website that I’m on and.....”

A new day...

and a new egg. Third day in a row, one of the young hens has laid an egg. I suspect the next warm front will kick in the other two hens to start laying. Protein. I need to get to the feed store and buy some metal trash cans and chicken feed, dog food to fill them. I don't have room indoors for a bunch of 50lb bags.

I love it when young hens start laying! Their eggs are so small

BobL:

This is just like the advice public officials are making to have friends and family deliver supplies to the elderly.

The virus never infects friends and family—everybody knows that!

I could write a book going through the piles of lies, misinformation, disinformation, and just total garbage on the CDC and every state, county, city and local .gov CV web site.

It is a battle between the CV virus and the stupid virus—neck and neck at this point....

This is a long article about Europe:

https://www.zerohedge.com/health/covid-19-european-leaders-finally-acknowledge-scale-crisis

They buried the lead, imho, which is that Spain has followed cgbg’s advice and started _quarantining nurses and doctors_.

That is a _must do_ and a _must do now_ here and in western Europe.

That means protecting them behind a quarantined perimeter, nobody can enter without being tested, and they cannot leave into the wild.

If there are not enough tests, then no-one enters...

They must be protected....if they are not, officials cannot claim to be serious in dealing with this...

"...hey are randomly testing large numbers of non-symptomatic people, and have set up test stations where anyone can be tested for free and get results the next day. "

This ^ is very important to do. Thanks for posting it.

It’s not our fault that you waited til the last minute to get quarantine provisions!

Totally inappropriate comment coming from a FReeper.

Why would you even say that?

Its's stuff like that that gives FR a black eye.

Emory’s first coronavirus patient began receiving infusion therapy yesterday as a result of Georgia CTSA’s assistance in coordinating the approvals needed within 48 hours. Georgia CTSA’s Navigator Team utilized the new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for its Rapid Response Team service to obtain fast-track approvals across the Emory system.

Well, that was a bust. I got up at 4:30 to hit Winco. There was already 25 cars in the parking lot with more arriving. I said, "nah, not today".

I was driving my sons Jeep, went to turn on the ignition to leave and it wouldn't start. After brief panic attack, had to open hood and jiggle battery. Thankfully started.

Griffin-Health physician tests positive for Covid-19

A Griffin-Health community-based physician has tested positive for the new coronavirus, according to company officials.

Griffin-Health officials said the doctor was not in his office and did not see any patients in the 24 hours before he started experiencing symptoms, and that public health officials believe there is no action needed for his patients or office staff at this time.

Griffin-Health is based in Derby.
