And here we go

He was from the nursing home also.

Yea he was but one thing we are learning is this virus kills very quickly

Wrong thread.

Watch the video. Who is Dr Fauci? You lose again.

The businesses, not government.

What’s the purpose of FEMA, CDC, etc if we aren’t prepared for something like this? It’s $1 masks. I hate the .gov but if they are going to steal from us they could at least throw us a bone.

The masks are made in China

If you don't understand the importance of this not catching hold in NYC I can't help you.

Also 4 new cases, with 1 death in King county. The other 3 are critical. They are linked to the nursing home.

If you were naive enough to think it wasnt going to, no one can help you.

Yep. But why aren’t those agencies planning for this and stock piling them?

It isnt to keep everyone alive. Start with that understanding and you wont be let down.

Nursing homes are notoriously bad for spreading pathogens.

Yep...I've consulted in nursing homes in over 30 states...done 100s of med pass observations...and found so many wrong things on MARs med carts and med rooms...told my wife just to drop me off in the forest when it's my time to go

How do you stockpile something that you don’t make in your country and there’s only three sources to get AND they are in usage everyday in every medical facility in the country? Every level 1 trauma hospital has a 72 hour contingency plan but they have to rely on suppliers after that if an influx of patients arrive

FL dept of health says two "presumptive" cases in Hillsborough and Manatee Counties

COVID-19 | Florida Department of Health

 

[golfballs]

Well there goes my theory about Florida people

 

[VolnJC]

Down to 40k active cases with 45k recoveries 33/40 are mild. Daily recoveries outpacing new infections for 14th straight day

I saw a woman going crazy with the hand sanitizer in Kroger today. Never mind the part about weighing 500 pounds.

She's in trouble if she didn't lift the rolls and apply in between.

Oh man, I have to go to sleep with that thought now. Ugh

In reality, she is correct to use sanitizer, I just find humor in the fact that she is not concerned with her more obvious health issues.

2nd Oregon coronavirus case linked to state’s first as a ‘household contact’

That's my plan. After working in ICU, it's a case of beam and a cabin when it's my time.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

They don't.

This is something that's perplexed me. Several cases of no H2H transmission. There has to be another carrier or vector.

For me it depends on what it is. ALS, MS, severe onset Alzheimers.....get me high as a kite on the right stuff and let me never come back. Cancer...I'll fight it depending on what it is, but have an alternate plan for putting myself away early. Really hoping for old age, UT wins like it's 15th national title in a row, I'm about 90 or 91, in decent health and I just go to sleep in my recliner after that victory and that's all she wrote.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Yep. But why aren’t those agencies planning for this and stock piling them?

JIT delivery has screwed any emergency up and no secondary backup just like with iv fluids and the Puerto Rico debacle. They aren't prepared.
Betcha I run into some drug shortages within the next 2 weeks because we don't have a secondary source we are minimally ordering from to cover some drugs made in mainland China.

That last sentence is a great plan, may we all gave such an ending... God willing.

You clearly know more about this then I do. I would just say we have had years to prepare. These aren’t perishable items.
