We have a corresponding number of delivery trucks and drivers tho like our country isn't impossible it's just lovely carbon wise but that's immaterial presently. The resources are here but there is no way to mobilize them.

They are in the ICU For the corona, but the hospitals are not testing, and refusing to test. Its a great situation that shows the UK government handling this even better than the USA in the cold calculating carelessness.

Don't count the infected, and the number never goes up.

i think your not far wrong..

For what its worth, back in december 2018, I had something very similar to the current thing. started with dry coughs, got a fever, ended up in bed for about 3 weeks with trouble breathing. It took about 6 months before I could walk properly without feeling out of breath. I'm fine now.

I think it's been around for a bit longer than we realise & hopefully I'm one immune motherfucker :)

There are more direct deaths when they find bodies and the ripple effect of later loss of life due to interrupted care for others. For some reason the media stopped focusing on that last when it escaped china.

I mean, to be honest, there was absolutely no way this wasn't going to happen at some point.

Even if they were just taking car accidents and other non-COVID emergency patients to the hospital ships they were bound to get infected asymptomatic spreaders and victims who simply didn't know they were positive yet.

The idea was ridiculous from the start.

TRUMP.

It's the stupidest thing and apparently the doctor the governor is consulting is a 30 something pediatrician. We're gonna get a bunch of extra people killed just because she's digging her heals in on this. And it's doubly stupid because according to the info out there Iowa is actually sitting pretty good on number of hospital beds and ventilators as long as people take things seriously and flatten the curve.

This is a solved problem already, after Katrina the national guard and navy? set up distribution centers, pallets everywhere full of food and water, you drive through and the troops load your car up with whatever you ask for. You can process two cars a minute if you yell at people. Set up five in every suburb.

You didn't get it in 2018. It's definitely more widespread than we know but given how quickly it explodes and people start dieing once it hits an area there's no way it's been floating around for any appreciably longer amount of time than the last couple of months.

the state unemployment offices determine who is eligible. the federal govt will allegedly give them $600/wk to distribute to everyone they approve, but many if not all are currently "awaiting guidance from the labor department" before they'll approve any claims for it

Yeah I guess I wishfully thought that that issue was contemplated by Bernie. If it's literally up to the states then the amendment was mostly useless

Even seemingly well run blue states like IL aren't giving out the 600/week yet, and the eligibility distinction for quitting if you're asthmatic and a grocery bagger is gonna be even more of a hurdle

also while the consensus hasnt formed on immunity yet this is almost certainly a short lived immunity so even the impossible 2018 case wouldnt help you now

ROUNDING IT OUT: The U.S. typically has a unique response to crisis, and the coronavirus is no different.

Firearm sales spiked 85% last month compared with the March last year, according an analysis of the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System by Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting.

The laws of supply and demand also apply to arming up, of course, and the cost of adding guns the the shopping list will cost you.

“Much of the industry’s inventory will have been depleted, so that we anticipate that weapons and ammunition prices increased as well,” said Jurgen Brauer, SAAF’s chief economist.

My sister-in-law's parents went to their cabin in northern Wisconsin, and the area has experienced a similar influx of people from the Twin Cities and Chicago.

Of course, this not being the summer, the area wasn't prepared at all for everyone, THe local grocery stores are cleaned out and it is going to be a while until they are restocked to any capacity. And if anyone brought the disease out there with them, I don't see the area hospitals being able to handle much strain.
