They delivered the dining room table I ordered yesterday. I guess not too many people are buying furniture at this time. I tipped the delivery guys generously because they don’t get too many deliveries now.

Every morning I take a medication that is keeping me alive.
Not allowed to renew the prescription until I’m down to 2 doses left. While I was taking the 2nd to the last pill today, got a text from the pharmacy that they’re OUT. Back ordered.
Fuck you hoarding motherfuckers.— Stonekettle (@Stonekettle) March 16, 2020
After becoming somewhat LOUD with an utterly indifferent and unconcerned pharmacist — who was literally not going to do anything other than shrug — he suddenly managed to become a LOT more eager to please and eventually found a solution and filled the prescription.

But I look at this, a country thrown into panic and chaos because there is no confidence in the leadership of this nation and I’ll say this: Those of you who DON’T show up this November? Those who vote FOR panic and chaos? To hell with you.

As much as I can sympathize with Stonekettle, all people can do is ask for one extra supply in advance. They can’t, for example, ask for an entire year’s worth. The hoarding in this case is minimal and has more to do with how many are left. He could have gone in a little earlier and asked for a refill earlier.

I get the prescription I most need (not to live, to unstiffen) by paying for it out of pocket. But it’s not a narcotic and not terribly expensive. I realize that lots of people can’t do that.

re: #5 Anymouse 🌹🎃
Supply chains include meds that are formulated or compounded in China or other affected areas internationally, but also domestically as those supply chains all operate on JIT processes. It leaves little slack capacity, and it also means the ability to ramp up making things like masks, or complex items like respirators and other ICU gear even more difficult.
We need MASH units to be built out in NY, WA, NJ, and the hardest hit areas right now, because by the time that hospitals are overflowing is already too late. We have hospital ships that can be useful at a time like this - bring one to NYC harbor, send the other to Seattle. But no. Trump’s sitting on that as he’s done with everything else.
It’s all slow rolling the crisis, and more people affected daily.

I really think that’s the plan. I think Biden for one term and then we have a spirited contest in 2024 with early primaries that are actually reflective not just of the party but the nation too. Sorry Iowa and New Hampshire but time to swallow your fucking pride. All things must come to end so do will your first in the nation status.
Only if those states repeal the laws on their books that automatically move their primaries forward if another state jumps in front of them.
First-in-the-nation is big bux for those two states. They aren’t going to give that up unless you elect a state legislature which repeals those state laws (lol) or the Supreme Court were to strike them down (I don’t see a constitutional issue here, but I’m not a lawyer).
It’s the same argument to “we need to get rid of caucuses.” Caucuses/primaries are set by state law, not the parties. To get rid of caucuses you need to elect a state legislature which will switch them. The only reason we have a primary here in Nebraska this year is the staggering amount of Republicans facing off against each other, and our majority-Republican legislature said “we ain’t paying for that.”

Their feet have not been held to the fire yet for their inaction over the past three years. Or their acquittal of The Emperor. So why should I expect the media to do so now, or the conservative base to suddenly hold this as sufficient reason to vote Democratic?
And McConnell can publicize it as doing so for health concerns for the entire body, and only has to delay long enough for suitable replacements to be appointed, presuming he can convince some of the incapacitated ones to resign accordingly.

Israel’s government has authorized its Shin Bet security agency to use its phone-surveillance system on coronavirus patients in an effort to control the epidemic, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledging that such measures would “entail a certain degree of violation of privacy.” Shin Bet would employ mobile-phone tracking technology to more precisely model a patient’s movements prior to diagnosis, and identify people who might have been exposed to the virus. In response to privacy concerns, Netanyahu reduced the scope of information to be collected and restricted how many people can view the data, to shield against misuse. Yuval Elovici at Ben-Gurion University’s cybersecurity research center suggested privacy issues can be minimized by culling data anonymously.

Cuomo doesn’t take crap from anyone, and he also like to share credit with anyone else. He fired Andy Byford from MTA because he was getting credit for turning around subway service after it ran into trouble after Cuomo interfered in goals/priorities in order to build out the 2A Subway and other critical issues fell by the wayside.
Never get between Cuomo and a microphone.
But Cuomo is working well with his fellow governors across region, and hopefully they can expand the tristate coordiation to include PA, MA, VT, and OH too. They all have a common enemy and all face the time crunch together.
They’re all doing the thing Trump should be doing - but Trump would rather tweet critiques of debate performances and how well the stock market is doing thanks to rate cuts that don’t stop covid19 spreading.
The Dow is down 10%. S&P is down 9.6%. NASDAQ is down similarly.

And within the next few weeks, we’ll hear that all the jobs gained are also getting vaporized as businesses fold and need to make sure that the millionaire owners of big businesses put their profits above worker needs.

As anybody who has actually visited those stores in the last week knows, the result is bare shelves and a whole lot of assholes sitting on stockpiles of shit they don’t need and depriving those who do of vital supplies.
But I guess federal coordination and resource management smacks too much of “socialism.”

It’s looking like we’re going to postpone our trip to Germany this May until next year. We’ll see, but it doesn’t look good now.
If Canada closes the border with the USA as is being discussed in some political circles there, it is definitely off.

I live on a border town between the US and Canada. The local health department sent out a notice that we should not cross the border now for any reason and if we do, even if it is to go shopping for 5 minutes in MI, when we return we are expected to self-isolate for 14 days. Period.

It was naturally occurring and jumped to humans as so many other diseases have done.

Daily update from the University of Nebraska Medical Center:
Daily updates will be posted every afternoon
March 16
A 24-bed unit within the Nebraska Medical Center has been dedicated and segmented for confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients who require hospital care. The unit has negative air pressure throughout. Two COVID patients who had been treated in the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit have been moved to this new unit. The Biocontainment Unit is now empty and will be used as a surge location going forward.
A 16-year-old boy from Crofton, Neb, who had been treated in the Biocontainment Unit was discharged today after three negative tests for COVID-19.
A 36-year-old Omaha woman remains in critical condition. One evacuee from the Diamond Princess cruise ship who had suffered a fall remains in good condition.
Four other evacuees from the Diamond Princess group departed the National Quarantine Unit in the last 24 hours, leaving one guest from that group in the quarantine unit.
For those who might be experiencing symptoms, instructions are available here. This link also offers resources, guidelines and links to trusted sources for area residents and businesses as they take measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Cases in the U.S. have reached about 3,800, with 70 deaths. Worldwide, cases stand at about 175,000, with about 6,700 deaths.

It’s US based healthcare system is designed with a younger patient make up in mind.
Hospital ship’s stacked medical wards are far from what is called for when treating/isolating infectious patients
Calling up National Guard/Reserve medical units will more than likely pull care providers from facilities already facing heavy burdens

We’re undergoing something similar, with all the staff being cut down to 4 days a week and the contract workers we had in housekeeping being let go.

NJ issued statewide curfew from 8pm to 5am.
All casinos, bars, movie theaters, nightclubs, performing arts centers and gyms must shut down at 8 p.m. Monday and will remain closed until further notice in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, the three governors announced Monday. People can no longer go to a restaurant to dine in, but restaurants can still provide delivery and take-out. The businesses must remain closed until the state governments say so.
“Everyone needs to stay in and be safe,” Murphy said in a phone call with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont to announce the new restrictions. “And we can’t say this enough, that everyone needs to stay in and be safe and just because you don’t feel sick, and this is a particular shout-out to our young people, it doesn’t mean you aren’t carrying the virus. And the last thing that anyone should be thinking about is going out and spreading the disease.”
61 cases in my county (most in NJ).

JHU: 4110 cases, 71 deaths. 1.8% mortality rate nationwide across US. That’s 18 times higher than seasonal flu. NY currently experiencing a lower mortality rate than that, but Washington state has a far higher rate (42/769 or 5.4%)
Italy: 27980 cases, 2158 deaths - a 7.7% mortality rate. That’s 77 times more deadly than seasonal flu (0.1%)
This disease isn’t going to burn itself out. It’s going to continue spreading across globe and killing a not insignificant number of people and sickening a huge number that require hospitalization and significant medical assistance.
Italy’s rate is inflated because they’re not reporting the mild cases, but still bad.
Asked what it was like to take the test, Trump says, “Not, not uh - something I want to do everyday…you know, it’s a little bit of a — it’s a little bit of — good doctors in the White House, but it’s a test. It’s a test. It’s a medical test. Nothing pleasant about it.”

That makes sense since the walkways across the park are usually less than 25 feet across in spots. It’s impossible to maintain a safe distance.
So, last week the chief of IT operations was sending emails saying that they were making arrangements in case we had to work from home to make sure non-member facing employees could work from home, HR was sending out regular updates. In his weekly email (friday) the CEO said in all red/all caps letters we would not be working from home.
This afternoon HR sent out and email and we were told everyone who can needs to work from home for the foreseeable future. We were sent home (it was close to my time to leave anyway)

As things turn more serious from the clown-show in the White House, the real problem of limited hospital facilities sets in:
SEE WHEN STATES WILL FACE HOSPITAL BED CAPACITY SHORTAGES DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK
The earliest ICU bed shortages are likely to emerge at the end of March, according to a new analysis.
Amid the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, most states will run out of available intensive care unit (ICU) hospital beds by mid-April, according to a new analysis by Array Advisors.Washington, a state with the second-most confirmed cases in the country as of Monday afternoon, is expected to hit its ICU capacity by March 30. New York, a state with over 930 cases, is expected to hit its capacity by April 5.
Meanwhile, nearly 20 more states are expected to hit their ICU bed capacity between April 13 to April 23, according to the analysis. Missouri is expected to face an ICU bed shortage by May 7, the latest of any state in the country.
