Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I just realising that my parents are treating the Corona Virus the way they treated us children… “To be seen and not be heard” was my mother’s favourite saying. :roll_eyes:

All of these Federal govt idiots at these press conferences just basically congratulate each other the whole time and talk about how many hours they’re working.

Are they talking about tests the cdc is going to do? I don’t see how they can stop state labs and hospitals from doing their own tests?

In 2-3 weeks they’re going to look back and wish all they were still talking about ramping up testing. That’s when the ICU bed and ventilator shortage is going to hit hard. That’s when people aren’t going to be wondering about if they have coronavirus, but worrying about whether or not they or their loved ones will actually live, or even be anywhere near properly cared for at all, if they have it.

As I said - I am speculating on an imaginary case of C19 that swept through Japan and maybe some of Korea at some point in the past and somehow imparted a little immunity on them.

I have since been informed that disease immunity doesn’t work that way and neither does RNA and I accept it for am just throwing things against the wall and didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Quarantine is working

How does one prioritize elderly people in a drive-thru line?

NYC closing public schools next week

Right now I’m just in full-blown anxiety and no depression. But I feel like a gun in the house is more likely to be used to blow my own head off in a bad moment than to save my life. But then again Bourdain taught me its not very hard to hang yourself. Ugh.

Loved ones they can’t even visit in the hospital.

But again, WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?

Everyone coming home from Europe and Ireland are supposed to self-quarantine for 14 days. What % do you think actually do? 1%?

If there’s any question/doubt, don’t get the gun. It’s why I don’t own one, and never will. It sounds slightly absurd, but I’ve thought about getting a compound bow that I could use for hunting in dire circumstance, and that is virtually impossible to use for suicide.

Look for the cars with a blinker stuck on.

Maybe, but so many around me are armed and I have a feeling we are going to have some very desperate people in a few months. (Maybe including me)

I don’t think Boomers are going to come try to steal your food. Now I might have to worry about gang bangers but by the time they get to my neighborhood it’s full on Mad Max and I don’t think my pistol is going to buy me much but a few days in my condo.

40-60 tests per state per day, still just incompetence? I mean we could get them from the WHO, we could buy them from China for $10 each… But nah, just incompetence!

If this administration wanted to test 25,000 people a day, they could be doing it.

Saw a while back someone else make a point on twitter about the US’s incredible production of fighter planes during WWII and wondering why we don’t get something like that going for ventilators
