Of course I know we’re cool. I’m just LIVID at both the amount of money we spend for our healthcare system, and we’re getting for it! For heaven sakes, the simple masks probably cost 10 cents each, before this crap, the N95’s, maybe 50 cents (in bulk).
(and so are you, of course)
WTH is wrong with these people? Are they afraid that a miracle cure would interfere with the usual Democrat totalitarian ambitions?
You’ll need to grab the senior bus/van and go for a joy ride. Take some friends. :)
If she needs to do her thing and drive other people around, that’s fine by me, but visiting her family OUT-OF-STATE at this time while continuously risking repeated exposure in that job is sheer idiocy.
And meanwhile they’re springing prisoners deemed to be vulnerable to severe COVID-19. What could POSSIBLY go WRONG???
self employed people are eligible for something trump just said

Yep. It’s absolutely nuts. Kaiser Permanete, permanent ceasar, will fire any nurse who wears N95 outside two specific operations. Its absolute madness suggested by the CDC.
Nearly half of all patients at one Kaiser hospital believed to have coronavirus

Kaiser is the &^%$ company that has banned mask use by nurses! (This was covered in the last Chris Martenson video—he showed the notice on the bulletin board saying nurses would be fired on the spot if they used masks.)
A half-C-note for a six-pack of top-quality beer. Sheesh.
I’d prefer public hangings for the ice cream- and toilet seat-lickers, but they’re mostly idiots, so maybe a long spell in stir would do.

When it comes to NY, the run rate of recorded US daily CV fatalities has actually dropped - net of NY state. The only reason the US looks like it's still increasing is because of NY state. And NYC is the driver behind NY state.
The world might be beginning to realize that CV is in fact a highly regionalized type of natural disaster, really not much different than an earthquake, hurricane, etc. That means the resources of entire nations can be directed to targeted zones to attack the point(s) of incursion.
In the case of NY, the US can fly in additional medical personnel, mobile ICU units, etc. It also means the rest of the country can go back to business, with added stipulations with respect to social distancing, etc, while keeping close tabs on potential/emerging hot spots.
That doc’s right. Any patient with shortness of breath could help slam the mostly-filled ICU’s, costing millions of dollars apiece if it is COVID-19 (long stays). It’s preferable to spend a few hundred a person up front doling out the treatment to anybody with a breathing problem, fever and cough, since testing is still just ramping up.
Unemployment should be more generous at this time, IMO. (I’m one who would rather cut it under most circumstances.) Maybe not the 99-week lunacy during the last crisis, but somewhat more generous.
We must prioritize health care workers with our scarce masks!
Wait, what? They can’t wear the masks most of the time???
FUBAR’d!
The history of this disease has been rather clear.
First it is just a Chinese problem.
Then it is just an Italy problem.
Now it is just a metro NYC problem.
hmmmm......
Um.....
Yes.
does anyone know how many maximum employees are considered small business? I saw something saying 4. That surely cant be right
Influenza had been around for a long time. By 1918 it was very well known and the physicians of the day immediately identified the Spanish Flu as a new variety of influenza. Read the book. It is very informative.
