Roberts is a punk asking gotcha questions. He would lick Obama’s nuts, uh shoes, if he were still the president during this thing.

Hmm, depends on when this shipment was. The date in the article was over a month ago. That would be at least March 4 or prior. Did we know how bad it was going to be here at that time? Did we know hospitals and states hadn’t kept up their supply stock?

I spoke with two people today.

The first one complained that Trump would be lifting the shelter-in-place order and have everyone go back to work, and then there would be an unmanageable public health crisis as EVERYONE would get sick.

The second one was convinced that the whole thing was a government conspiracy, there weren’t any sick people at all (or else all the videos the individual citizens have taken of empty hospitals were misleading), the news stories about sick people were fake, and he’d talked to plenty of people who didn’t know of any sick people personally.

Wasting gas will have you at the gas station which is all kinds of germy. Driving around could get you in an accident. That will bring in a cop and the other driver who might be infected and then there’s the wrecker, the insurance guy and the repairmen during a time when many people can’t afford to have an accident.

Just stay home.

The good news about this virus is that even on a cruise ship or a nursing home only 70% of people can get infected.

The conspiracy crowd needs to explain why most of the people in the world have been put in lockdown by their governments if there is no “there there”.

The actual facts are fairly complex, and the average person has an IQ of 100—they have no chance of figuring it out!

When I worked on teams doing important and complex work in the corporate world, the very first step was to identify the stupid people—and remove them from the room!

The truth will be right in the middle somewhere. Not all places (states) need to be in Shelter in place at the same time. It should be up to the Governor of the State.

There is a conspiracy to milk as much money you can get from the Government. I am kind of wondering if New York is playing it up a little bit. They will soon see more real drama in the coming weeks. This part causes the second one to believe in the conspiracy.

Project Veritas made videos of people stating it was fake or the news was going overboard. Also a Urgent Care got caught in claiming to have lines of people for testing in a TV news interview when there was no lines the next day, not sure if that was a case of fraud or a one day rush of people to get tested.

My Summary:
You will not see any Drama video from inside of Hospitals because of Hippaa laws.

The videos of empty waiting/lobbies on youtube would be expected, hospitals are not allowing visitors. The visitor’s parking lots are empty too. The infected and sick people are in beds room in the other part of the hospital.

The other day when I went shopping, I swear half the shoppers in the store were from Instacart and Shipt.
And they spend half their time texting the customer to approve substitutions.
Which is a pain in the @ss if you get behind one at the deli line.
