He means UHT pasteurized milk, it's still a liquid and totally normal except it's shelf-stable and lasts months. It's also a thing in Canada. Trader Joe's has UHT heavy cream, but I haven't seen UHT regular milk in the US.

This. Powdered milk is fine for baking, but less than ideal for cooking and totally awful for drinking.

are there any reports from retail goons of ammunition being stockpiled, like more than normal, due to this, or have people not yet thought about how they're going to guard their toilet paper castles?

Consumers.

WHAT THE gently caress AMERICA

Honestly some private enterprise testing could be useful for people who don't qualify for testing but are curious whether or not their cold is actually the roni. Some kind of mail in test kit, or a drive through thing in the cities, where you can drop a couple hundred bucks and get either reasurance or bragging rights. "For entertainment purposes only."

Ideally everyone at risk would be tested by the government, but most places that isn't going to happen. Even if they wanted to they don't have enough test kits or qualified clinical labs, so marginal cases aren't going to get tested.

Numbers from the same government that has been telling their citizens that Covid-19 is a bioweapon manufactured by the United States and unleashed on China just for the fun of it? Of course we should trust those numbers!

Yes, America has a military base in your country because we spend money maintaining the planet's defenses instead of paying for everyone to go to the doctor for free.

And yet is still telling everyone that it doesn't seriously affect young people. Fine, maybe it's very rare that younger people have serious symptoms, but they are still potential carriers.
At least he's finally telling people to stop over-buying/hoarding, but even that felt like he's being told to say it, and doesn't really care.

Edit: he did say Google is going to be making that testing location webpage, and that news story about Google having no idea about it was "fake news".

I get that no one really knows what Alphabet or Verily is but yes, technically Google is piloting something for Santa Clara County and San Mateo (but this seems like a page for the Bay Area?)
