Fire/ EMS Update #4- SW Edition
Sorry Mags, I’m trying to keep these on the regular, but it’s fucking nuts...
We are at 35 confirmed in NM. That is solely due to lack of testing. Period. What the actual number is, who fucking knows....
Our firefighters are amazing. They continue to selflessly run 250+ calls a day, with THE question in the back of their minds......Is this the one?
As Summit, Natty, and others have stated, the PPE shortage is going to be a giant, severe, and life-threatening problem..Like now. I would ask all of you to light up Congress and the WH’s switchboard demanding ALL PPE production be ramped up and solely dedicated to hospitals and first responders.
Ten of our members in quarantine. No positive tests. Yet. That will change.. it’s math, people.
On a personal note, I feel like I’m a resilient person. I e been doing this for 23 years. That being said,I’m exhausted. Every “solution” leads to 3 more questions.....And I try to come home, to my family, and put a smiley face on....But they’re already going stir crazy, and I don’t have the heart to tell them this is week one in a month’s long pandemic....
Stay home. Stay healthy. Send vibes to all of us. I will keep you updated. -SWhat we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

PPE is crazy
Wifey spending hundreds of bucks, expecting the system won’t have enough for her personal protection.
Many docs across the us saying fuck paper n95 masks, going full darth Vader mask
Can’t blame them. But can blame the system
Fuck this shit.. . .

"He's not doing anything for the working people of America who lost their jobs!"
President Trump immediately cancels interest on all student loans
President Trump immediately pauses all evictions and foreclosures on federal properties and loans
President Trump immediately LITERALLY GIVES EVERYONE MONEY
"Trump is just buying votes!"

Meanwhile, I'll continue bringing solid information to this thread.

no - it's called a solid understanding of economics
nobody has money - nobody spends money - business go out of business - no business - no jobs - it's called a death spiral and leads to depressions

Here’s wtf I want to know:
How is a restaurant/bar/gym/sportsball game/office full of people so dangerous we have to kill the economy to eliminate the threat, but a bus full of people even closer together is somehow ok?

Heard on NPR a scientist from Duke who says he has a test which will detect COVID 19 antibodies, which means people who had the disease or think they had they disease but recovered without being tested can be tested after the fact. It would be very useful for someone to know they had had the virus since hopefully they would be immune to the virus and could behave accordingly. They would still need a negative PCR to show they were not still actively infected. (The immunity issue is still up in the air I think.) He says he can have it generally available in weeks.
Maybe people would need proof of COVID antibodies and negative PCR as well as a DL to get into a bar.

I feel for your plight man and my offer stands to find you and your fam work if I can, over here or over there if you want to duck and run.
But one small answer to your q is that some people need access to food and medicine through the bus. Sorry people are abusing it.
