If you feel comfortable saying, which hospital do you work in? I spent 100 days in Mercy two years ago and have nothing but respect and admiration for the UPMC system. Sorry for the drift. | |||

Thankfully, you are probably right that it won't impact the supply chain, but it isn't out of the question and that is the point. I'm pretty sure none of us thought a few months ago that we'd be mostly regulated to our homes for a pandemic. The point of preparations is the likelihood of needing them is low, but having them just in case. Like you said 80% of the population can't go a few weeks without food, which is my point. Yeah, most of us in populated areas can't hunt in our backyards or grow enough crops to sustain a family. Welcome to America in 2020. When we get to the apocalypse it will be a problem. For the possibility of a few week disruption all people have to do is take some basic steps like buying a bit extra of the things they use. Again, that doesn't mean people have to panic. Puffing out your chest and look down on people for taking the middle ground seems just as ridiculous as the people loading their carts with supplies for the apocalypse. | |||

I’m puzzled by the run on really perishable stuff like raw chicken, and bananas, from the local grocery. WTF are people thinking? | |||

DeWine just closed restaurants' seated dining down in Ohio at 9 tonight. Apparently delivery and drive thru service may continue. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Interesting -- Pennsylvania has 2.9 staffed beds. Perhaps they could ramp that up (staffing), but the increase probably won't be critical care beds as that requires specialized equipment/facilities. There's definitely been a push to drive care to the clinics and out of the hospitals due to the high cost. But that sure seems ill advised now. https://pascorecard.com/health...1%2C000%20population. | |||

Just saw that as well. Even before this announcement, at about 1:00 pm when I was out, local Kroger had no meat to speak of, other than a few bagged turkeys, some off-brand bacon, and hot dog packages. Will get much worse now, as soon as people realize they essentially have to stay in. | |||

Another nail in the European Union coffin, when Schengen countries close borders with other Schengen countries, the unity of the European Union takes another possibly fatal blow. I also find it interesting that Memrkel has decided to close their borders to try to stop a virus from getting into Germany, but was refused to close the borders to Middle Eastern and African migrant hordes.

Day care centers will be next. I don't know how parents that depend on them will solve that problem. A few may find a sitter but not most. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Silly question, under what authority do these local and state "authorities" close private businesses? I get the public safety angle, but what laws allow them to mandate/enforce controls of this type short of declaring martial law? Serious question, please don't slam me if it seems stupid to you... __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

Now in Florida |
Pritzker seems more interested in politicizing this and taking shots at Trump than anything else. Do we have any medical professionals on the board who can explain why these drastic measures weren't necessary during the Swine Flu pandemic which infected 60 million and killed 12,000 in the US? The easy answer is to ascribe the difference in response to politics, but it's starting to get so crazy that even I can't believe they would go this far for political purposes. Is there a real answer for why they are treating these two outbreaks so differently? | |||

Ohio governor orders all bars and restaurants to close, with take away still permitted. It was in a video on Fox. I'm looking for a written source to cite.
