Day # 20 here:

My answer to the flubros would be; So you’re volunteering to be the one at the hospital turning away old people and people with comorbidities and tell them to just go home and die?
The way state governors are going bananas, I’ll consider ourselves lucky if unemployment is ONLY 9%.
Rumor off a FB truck drivers page, take it for what it’s worth:
“Hubby has a coworker that was delivering groceries to Laredo. The customers had the parking area full he could hardly get through, everyone was aggressive and the crowd gathered around his rig. He was in fear. Turns out the manager was selling food right off the truck to folks, the driver stayed parked for 4 hours while the nonsense happened.. This surely could’ve been handled another way. Just wondering if anyone has ran into that situation? Be careful out there folks!”
They won’t be told to go home and die, because they won’t be ambulatory, and nobody is going to take them home.
They are going to stay in the hospital hallway or lobby or, if there is not enough room there, the lawn outside.
Perhaps the flubros can volunteer to wheel them outside.
‘Chilling’ Plans: Who Gets Care When Washington State Hospitals Reach Their Max?
“This is a shift to caring for the population, where you look at the whole population of people who need care and make a determination about who is most likely to survive, and you provide care to them,” she said. “Those that have a less good chance of survival — but still have a chance — you do not provide care to them, which guarantees their death.”
And this is America, not some backwater.
Lookner is tripping out on the 2,682 new cases in NYC since last night.

Good point. Can’t just send them back out into the general population. Some will hit that anger stage and take it out on everyone around them.
Just finished watching the presser. When Dr Fauci is fed up with you, you know you’re a real asshole, MSM.
I was talking about starting a new, second account somewhere with an initial deposit of four figures. Card has a daily and per transaction limit. Normally I would make out a check to cash and I can still do that via drive-thru. Opening the second account, not so much but someone suggested starting the account online so I’ll look into it. Still the difficulty with a four digit sum.
No rush at this point so we’ll probably just start hitting the atm daily and when this stuff blows over, start the account. Never a bad idea to have cash in times like these.
Rest of calendar regarding schools, not just academic year, right?
People need to start saying calendar or academic year when talking about schools so people will clearly know what they mean.

Executive order senior citizens centers closed.
Senior daycare centers
Condolences to Wagnnor family
I wonder if Italy is spraying the same mixture as China.
I’m waiting for NYC to get the spray down.
Final order closed Monday
Peter got the ultimate Trump smackdown.
It was glorious.
If we get the ‘virus check’, hubby and I plan to spend it locally and/or in small businesses.
Not all are hurting, the grocery store (IGA) has done a landoffice business. Ditto the drugstores, family dollar, dollar general and ace.
I’ll probably pick up a slew of nursery plants from the local nursery, some landscaping stuff from the landscaping guy, and tithe a portion to church. Probably order a few more trees online, just because. And replace my depleting TP stash.
I haven’t been worried about the virus, long term, since the first patient ‘cured’ by the Gilead compound.
My long term worry is still booting up the production of medical supplies in THIS country.
And can we do that fast enough to stay ahead of the curve of people getting sick enough with this to need those supplies. (not talking tylenol and chicken soup here).
