I don't think a more centrally controlled economy would have helped much either. The government is only as competent as the experts it relies upon for information. And experts were wrong pretty much across the board. You had The World Health Organization saying masks aren't necessary from the beginning and the Surgeon General was repeating that line until yesterday. The data on our supply inventory for important things such as Personal Protective Equipment and Ventilators was inaccurate or just outright missing for most of the hospitals. We still don't know exactly how many we have and how many we need, nor how long it will take to get enough into production. And the one thing that could relieve hospitals from the need of ventilators, a treatment, has also become a mountain of untrustworthy sources. There is so much disagreement and probably misinformation over the whole hydroxychloriquine/Z-Pack treatment that we still don't know for sure if it works or not. You've got so many Republicans blaming Democrats and Democrats blaming Republicans that it's impossible to get accurate information without political spin. The virus is winning through divide and conquer. You'd think that so common an enemy like a pandemic would unite us. But nope. We still hate each other more than ever. And to top it off, we're relying so heavily on China, which IS a very centrally controlled economy, for supplies and data and now that's backfiring hard.

gently caress off. I am so sick of people trying to both sides poo poo so they can pretend they don't know who the main offender is. It's Trump. It's the rear end in a top hat governors who refused to do poo poo (What's that? Those states had republican governors? That's shocking). The information is easily attainable and you pretending it isn't is a load of crap. Stop being dumb, understand the difference between facts that happen to make someone look bad and facts cherry picked and misrepresented to make someone look bad.

edit: Also you can't exactly unite when both sides are opposites. Like when one side is saying hey we should social distance and the others like but but but the economy! You can kind of see how those might not really work well together.

Depends if you have any risk factors imo. And wear PPE the entire time, if they don't let you gently caress it then.
Its heroic of you to do it right now. What you should not be a little bitch about is being safe while doing it.

She's not local, she's on the other side of the country from me in Virginia. She's a traveling nurse so just goes to where she is assigned and just arrived there a couple weeks ago. She is currently on humira as she has really bad psoriasis ( her legs just look like a bunch of scabs)

I don't really know what options she has as her and her husband don't really have a home or anything. Housing is part of the package you get with the job.

Could she order her own PPE? She shouldn't need to do that, of course. It's stupid expensive, looks like they cost at least 3 times what US hospitals are willing to pay. But if she wants to keep working it is an option.

Someone in the aliexpress thread ordered these and got them in 3 days! (results not typical) https://www.wish.com/product/5e75d2de915b3437bd06833e


In the US with epacket shipping you should be able to get these in under a month:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000868507567.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33002045588.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000860123303.html


This one even claims to ship from the US and arrive within a couple weeks:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000315920124.html

A lot of these have non-english writing and may not be approved in the US. But she could maybe wear her daily paper mask over the unapproved mask so she looks the same as everyone else.

They also have face shields, gloves, and other PPE. All at prices that would be considered price gouging in the USA.
Tip: If she does order direct from china, it's probably best to use a store that has been open at least a year. A lot of stores selling PPE have popped up in the last month.

It's normal. When he's reading prepared statements he sounds somewhat like you might expect a president to sound, but the moment he says anything that comes out of his own head he sounds either deranged or ridiculous or both.

On very rare occasions he'll say something on his own that makes him sound like maybe he's not a complete waste ("it's not just the flu" probably being his most recent example of this) and then the next day he'll do something completely bizarre (like trot out a bunch of corporate top dogs and let them use the White House podium to advertise their products) just to make sure you don't actually think he's becoming competent.

Rocco sez: Oh man, what a bummer. Woof.

Cuomo/DeBlasio need to publicly call on trump to come to NY and see the situation there with his own eyes. Most likely, trump will wuss out like a lil bitch, not go and he'll look even more uncaring and incompetent. Or he may go and then stands a pretty decent chance of catching this virus and croaking since he's an old fat rear end with the constitution of a 6 month old hemophiliac
