The other day she told us 1 hospital got (I think) 700k masks but that won't last a single shift, not enough, need more. Are they brewing coffee in these damn things???

2.2 million dead in the US? I'm telling you- some of these people who are making these ridiculous predictions just need to be hung. Coronavirus is not damaging this nation; hysterical, posturing, egotistical, incompetent know-it-alls with an agenda are damaging this nation.

The antidote is hemp, properly knotted and utilized.

Do any of you honestly think for one single second that such an estimate is anything more than fantasy? And we're listening to these boobs?? I don't care how many degrees they have or how well-regarded they are in their field. A prediction of 2.2. million US deaths from this bug is outrageously false.

Oh, but now, you see, we've "taken the necessary precautions", so he can now "downwardly revise" this figure. Oh, come on. You are fooling a lot of people but you are not fooling all of us.

All this is a test run.....all I've to say at this point.

Pure sadness

Nora O'Donnell on CBS interviewed a weeping female Chicago ER doctor, (and Democrat donor, no doubt), who stated all the doctors she knows are almost out of supplies, running on no sleep, have overflowing ICU wards, having to put patients in hallways, and are skyping it their children because it "might be the last time," and are all filling out their wills because this virus is going to be taking the lives of so many health care officials. This IMMEDIATELY following Trump's press conference where it was revealed that there is no scenario where so many will die, and after revealing that thousands of empty ICU rooms still exists in hospitals in New York alone.

The media really is pushing this.

The truth will find its way out. This business has affected most of the people on the planet. Gonna be kinda hard to keep the bullshit flowing. Most everyone has a personal stake.

I look at these marathon press briefings the President is holding each day and I try to imagine how much wose this situation would be with that stuttering clusterfuck of a prevaricating kiddie diddler Biden up there instead.
President Trump has hit his stride and he is leading the nation quite effectively through this nonsense, and ol' Dementia Joe looks exactly what he is- a doddering, senile old man with delusions of grandeur.

Interesting that they're activating the non-active reserves. We're seeing a concentration of infections in specific large, urban areas; I wonder if they're putting together some combination of medical, logistical and maybe engineering/construction groups to go there.

On a side note, sending in federales of some kind might provide an alternative source of information to Nora O'Donnell.

The military is starting to feel the effects too... An entire carrier on lockdown. Various servicemembers out sick across the country. Etc.

So part of it may just be to fill the gaps left by the anticipated percentage of sick active duty folks.

Hopefully to build a very very large wall around NYC... didn't they make a movie about that...?

No more so than anyone else.

An Aircraft Carrier is like a small, mobile NYC, 4-5K people living in the size of a couple of football fields several stories deep. Lots of steep ladderwells to get around (very few elevators and those are for heavy equipment / weapons / etc), everyone has to use hands to get up and do. Not surprising at all it is racing around a carrier. But carriers are used to 'the hacks' that everyone gets all the time on deployment. Colds make the rounds, its just what it is.

The regular stateside military is just as pissed as the rest of us - no travel orders, no leave outside of 50 miles. We have moved operations to outside their bases to support them. Our on site personnel are still working on base if their jobs require it or telecommuting.

But there is no wide ranging infections in the military, don't let yourself be fooled. 99% of the impact is the same self inflicted shotgun blasts we have been doing to ourselves, only the military actually make their people follow the rules, unlike civilians.

Yep. And no matter how many times I watch it, all I ever seem to remember is Adrienne Barbeau.

Hopefully they'll give folks who got knocked out of work some kind of shot at volunteering first.

We are actually in a different boat, several of my part time guys can't travel now for our civie company because they can't take local reserve military orders / drills if they leave the area to work for us unless they do a 14 day QT - and while our work is continuing, they can't risk losing the Reserve money, so they have 'self sidelined' from work and taken reserve orders - with the hopes it'll only be a month or so until they can return to work for us.
