Is it crazy to think there could be a pandemic from time to time (bad flu season, different unexpected strain of flu affecting more people than usual, a Covid virus…whatever)?

How about making sure you have a stockpile of stuff like that on hand, you know…in case it’s needed?
N-95 mask shortage? Seriously? Idiots.

If they had listened to Para, they would have bought it cheap and stacked it deep when times were quiet.
Like we have all done regarding guns and ammunition. You won’t find us standing in a bread-line at the local gun store.

Feel free to continue panicking.


Supposedly they operate in tiny margins. Like most businesses, they've felt they had more pressing matters to spend their money on.

Not sure if this video from Dennis Prager has been posted here or not (my apologies if it has been) -

Dr. Fauci is Lying or He's Stupid

I have never seen Prager get wound up and furious like he does here.

For me, there is a cavernous and purposefully malicious disconnect between the hysteria, government power-grab overreach, and the lack of bodies piling up like we have be told to expect (nor do I want to see this happen!).

I put nothing past the desires and goal of the globalist uniparty to take Trump out, no matter the cost, damage and harm such a scheme will inflict on the U.S.A. and elsewhere.

Asked and answered several times - JIT inventory = $

For fuck’s sake, what does the management staff of these hospitals get paid for?
See above, bean counters = $

Its true dude. Its happening, exponentially bad and getting worse by the minute.

My sister in law, is an RN. She quit her job a few days ago due to lack of personal protective gear. They completely ran out of gowns, gloves, mask. They have nothing to give their staff. Hence the reason she quit. She talked to a nurse friend of hers last night and they are taping garbage bags to their arms, and around their body, to use as gowns and to use as gloves. They are wrapping their face with cloth, to somewhat get some protection from a "mask". Over 40% of the staff have quit. Leaving the remaining nurses to work 16 hour mandatory shifts. With no days off. How long can you work in those conditions before you snap and say "fuck this" and stay home?

Now, this is ONE hospital in America, in Florida, where the virus hasnt even taken a strong hold yet. I imagine many hundreds of hospitals are going through the exact same thing. Staff shortages, no supplies.

You guys have no idea what is about to happen. No idea.

If you get it in 9 months, manufacturing will have kicked in, there will be an abundance of mask, gowns, protective gear for the staff, and an abundance of ventilators. AND in 9 months, they will know a lot more about the virus, and will be better able to treat the symptoms. They will come up with a best practices treatment plan that saves lives. And they just dont have that knowledge currently.

ALL hospitals aren’t melting down. No where near that.

And by the way, there are two DR.’s, two RN’s and a CRNA in my family. They’re not reporting anything like what you’re panicking about.

Off topic, but dailywire links aren't working for me....from here or from emails. Anybody having the same issue? Suggestions?

I get this: "An unexpected error has occurred."

You are looking at hospitals in highly populated areas and in areas that would normally treat the target "demographic" if you will. The entire country doesn't consist of MASSIVE Skyscrapers that house hundreds (or thousands in some cases) of people. We are spread out across a vast geographic area and as such will not see the rates like places where one person sleeps 5' from their neighbor. Old folks homes will always be the worst hit when it comes to any communicable disease. These are generally people that are on death's door step to begin with and a simple cold could potentially kill them.

Let me ask a few simple questions.

What are you going to do next year when this shit comes back around like so many viruses do?

What happens if there is never any real treatment found? Should the whole world continue to self isolate or should we get back to some semblance of normalcy?

Sorry, I'm not impressed. You let us know when this catastrophe you're claiming actually happens.

In the meantime, please feel free to continue fear-mongering.

In case you hadn't noticed, this is already a catastrophe and it wasn't caused by a virus, and the same will be true if people start overcrowding hospitals; this is not a problem caused by a virus. This is a problem caused by humans who have abdicated their social responsibilities in order to put on a grotesque show.

Since this is basically our government's policy now I'm no longer laughing.

Funny, I was in a hospital in Florida day before yesterday and other than a couple questions at the front door and getting my temperature taken it was business as usual.

The lab was a bit busy with testing for it, but otherwise they were quite calm and seemed to have plenty of PPE.

Exactly!

These hospital admin types are bringing in 2-300K a year and they can’t even figure out that they need to have a stockpile of common PPE?

Fire their asses.

I think you will soon see efforts refocused on the locations and cities hit the hardest rather than a blanket response. There are hospitals being overwhelmed, but it is not all across out country. It is happening in high population urban areas.

The entire state of Michigan is on lockdown - all 83 counties. The crisis is in the 3 most populated counties. It is at the point now hospitals in surrounding counties will be picking up patients because the primary 3 counties are being overwhelmed. Most of the counties in Michigan have had minimal impact, but where it has hit hard it is getting bad.
