Not sure we can be too angry about people not wearing mask and shopping for two days. First of all, there are no mask available, so pretty tough to wear something you don't have, second, people may be trying to prioritize their availability to health professionals?
I have been watching Amazon for even just the disposable mask that would protect others from my (not N95) and earliest deliveries are middle of May. I agree we should all be wearing them in public right now to protect each other, but I just can't find any.
Then, everyone bitches about the hoarding, but we want everyone to buy two weeks of food? Grocery supply chains are not set up for that. Hell, sometimes we buy lettuce or fruit and if you don't eat it in a couple days it goes bad. Or the clicklist people grab already brown lettuce. Also, people are hording beef and chicken. Should I buy two weeks worth of breakfast sausage and ribs?
Last time I was in the El Jebel City Market, everyone was pretty respectful about space, etc....except the stocking people who would come right up next to me to put stuff on the shelves. I went in the middle of the afternoon.
How are the stocking levels up in Aspen? I keep praying we can somehow stop the spread in the valley and stay locked down. If we can't do it in a valley that currently has one way in and one way out...big cities don't stand a chance.
To the poster that said this will make or break America...I don't foresee it breaking us. Hopefully it pulls us together....but we as a country have been through and survived much worse.

ARNP wife works in the internal medicine clinic, assigned to flu clinic today, testing for Covid-19. She will be expected to use her N-95 mask multiple days.

I agree with that sentiment. I have people texting me asking if I have enough masks. I have a small amount of N95s I've gathered knowing I'll have to reuse for several days when our surge hits.
At the current burn rate, without a surge, PPE will be depleted at our hospital in 3-4 wks. That is also when we are expected to see the peak number of cases. Not having PPE also means that I cant do the work that is so important, that best case scenario all my in hospital consults are telephonic or video based. That means I also cant back up the hospitalists and intensivists and give them support.
The majority of clinicians I talk to about PPE running out--folks are either ambivalent or hard no about seeing patients if that were the case. I'm not sure the general public or public service officials understand that.

While I totally get it and think it's probably the best policy given the situation, it also sucks for us younger folks. Each time we've tried to hit up the store as soon as senior hour is over, they straight ransacked the place and all staples have been cleaned out. That's after the stores done a FULL overnight stocking. If it wasn't for MY elderly dad, who has thankfully hooked us up with what we need, there's little chance we could've had eggs and such these last couple weeks. It's nuts. Glad we live in the same town as him or we'd be screwed. Haha.

Oh, hi there neighbor.
We do get out every 3 days or so to take out trash.
Wash our hands 20 plus seconds, wear disposal medical gloves to touch things and get out in the middle of the night when no one's around.
It's from our door to dumpster and back.
But that's probably the highlight of days.
Otherwise we are locked up in 900sf. two bedroom apartment with no balcony.
We didn't have much cabin fever due to physical discomfort.
But now that my boyfriend is feeling better, he's going stir crazy.

I'm so curious to see how this all shakes out on so many levels. Break us? Possibly...
Or come over here to NY where the stores are quiet and well stocked again. I was amazed at how few people were in the market in Yorktown yesterday and the meat dept was fully stocked.

Yes, at yesterday's press conference she repeated the Daily Wire story on Imperial College London revising total deaths down to 20k without explaining what was really stated and why. She just threw it out and said we would look into it. This despite @neil_ferguson clearing up what he really meant based on the misinformation that is being circulated by right wing media. It was like Trump ordered her to say that, so she did.

Just like you and your dad, I suspect many elderly are using the opportunity to support their extended family during their privileged shopping periods. Thus the shortages when you 'younger folk' visit the store. I've seen similar excuses visiting the stores locally - when someone is confronted for appearing to over-supply/hoard, the most common response is that they are buying for someone else as well. Love those double-edged swords.

New Orleans putting beds in its Convention Center for overflow. Sorry, but tons of popups.
