It is. I now however don’t feel so bad about him. I know it’s bad but to be an advocate for mental disease? I think maybe karma caught up with him.
Not a very Christian point of view I have but that crowd is one of the parts of the puzzle destroying our once great country.

Below is a link to a research article about the virus at Evergreen Hospital in Washington State, a few miles from me.

Excerpt!!!:

“As of March 17, 2020, mortality was 67% and 24% of patients have remained critically ill and 9.5% have been discharged from the ICU.”

UK Gov identifies the FluBros as the problem.

“Where public disorder occurs, it is usually triggered by perceptions about the Government’s response, rather than the nature of the epidemic per se.”

The only grocery store in San Saba Co. had a fire last night. All the county has now for food is a Dollar General and convenience stores. No source for meat and vegetables. Don’t know the cause but there are sickos out there who will take advantage of these times.

We should start getting messages soon about this:

"This should also set clear expectations on how the response will develop, e.g. ensuring the public understands what they can expect as the outbreak evolves and what will happen when large numbers of people present at hospitals. The use of early messaging will help, as a) individuals are likely to be more receptive to messages before an issue becomes controversial and b) it will promote a sense the Government is following a plan."

"We estimate the number of COVID-19 cases from newly reported deaths in a population without previous reports. Our results suggest that by the time a single death occurs, hundreds to thousands of cases are likely to be present in that population. "

video inside Italian hospital https://vimeo.com/398334975

Wow! I only saw two caregivers. It was like a morgue! No activity. Just patients laying in bed and sitting in wheelchairs. Nothing going on. It was surreal.

Clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with digestive symptoms in Hubei, China: a descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study

We found that 99 patients (48.5%) presented to the hospital with digestive symptoms as their chief complaint. Patients with digestive symptoms had a significantly longer time from onset to admission than patients without digestive symptoms (9.0 days vs. 7.3 days). Patients with digestive symptoms had a variety of manifestations, such as anorexia (83 [83.8%] cases), diarrhea (29 [29.3%] cases), vomiting (8 [0.8%] cases), and abdominal pain (4 [0.4%] cases). In 7 cases there were digestive symptoms but no respiratory symptoms. As the severity of the disease increased, digestive symptoms became more pronounced. Patients without digestive symptoms were more likely to be cured and discharged than patients with digestive symptoms (60% vs. 34.3%). Laboratory data revealed no significant liver injury in this case series.

TJ McCueSenior Contributor
Consumer Tech

If you want to rally the world to your cause, think like a little bird and tweet. Hospitals and doctors are reaching out via social media to ask for mission-critical help in solving the shortage of N95-type masks during the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Rally is probably not the right word. A significant movement, perhaps even a revolution of epic noble intentions, is underway in hackerspaces, makerspaces, and sewing groups to come together and solve a problem to save lives at risk with the Coronavirus.

You can help. Today, right now. Are you sitting in your apartment or house in some sort of state-wide lockdown? You can do something to help others. People of all ages and walks of life are diving in to make a difference. Check out some of these amazing initiatives, both small and large:

Good morning, everyone.

This is a _very_ disturbing comment on where we are—from the governor of South Dakota:

Yesterday the Governor of South Dakota said that due to a shortage of reagents they are unable to process any coronavirus tests in the state (including private labs)

https://twitter.com/lookner/status/1240992889221627905

The CDC still rates an F-—and let us be very clear—many (especially smaller) states are _totally_ dependent on them for critical supplies.

If you can’t test, you don’t know who is positive.

If you don’t know who is positive, you have to assume everyone is positive.

Dear Miss Manners,

I have been in quarantine for fourteen days with my husband. According to the rules of etiquette, when is it permissible that I may shoot him?

Sincerely . . .

Dear Madame,

Surprisingly, there is no set time required for such an action. So you should use your best judgment.

However, tradition requires that you dress in black for a period of one year after his demise.

All my best . . .

Coming up with 2 cooked meals a day when I’m accustomed to one is a tax on my cooking imagination right now.

That pandemic killed many more Americans than this virus.

I suggest you watch this short video. It illustrates exactly why that statement is one of the most naive things I've read in my entire life.

Never forget the Chinese doctor who first warned about coronavirus and was threatened, attacked, smeared, made to sign a confession, silenced, isolated and then died after being infected while trying to help others.

China did all of this. https://t.co/BoySfa67JF— Imam of Peace (@Imamofpeace) March 18, 2020
