Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

True today, although historically disease has often killed more combat soldiers than battle, e.g., American Civil War.

I wonder how quickly the hospitals will bounce back once restrictions are lifted. For the most part, those elective surgeries and doctor visits are still going to need to happen. I could see the hospitals being extra busy this summer and next fall.

Court systems are the same way. Right now, many of the cases I have on the dockets are getting pushed into June. And no clue whether they will get heard then. Emergency matters are getting heard, mostly domestic and criminal matters. The right to a speedy trial for criminal matters apparently is still in effect. When this breaks, the court systems will be slammed.

With 10-20% unemployment “need” takes on a different character.

As long as they have the capital to survive, I would agree.

It feels like we are in this weird lull right now. Things are just moving along, nothing has changed much for two weeks (my family has been on lock down for a couple weeks now) other then cases increases....

I hope people stay the course and don't start getting to stir crazy. I still can't get over China reporting so few new cases....next shoe has to drop soon.

I'd expect a massive healthcare unionization.

Many workers rights laws to come in the near future as well.

I was talking to my friend who's a GP in Michigan and they've been doing 100% telehealth for a couple weeks now. Sounds like business is still good, but obviously there are some things that just can't be done with the patient and doctor physically separated.

The toilet paper shortage explained fairly well.

Nothing worse than a hack who thinks his shit is funny.

Do you like fish sticks?

Perhaps one of the good things that can come from this is a comprehensive overhaul of our health care system . It has been broken for so long in th USA

Conehead just likes to spout those gop talking points like a good cultist. If you cant stay in line on the regular you cant fire the redmeat racist talking points when theyre available

How is any of this political? It’s the military. They have regulations, a chain of command.

Its you, and the rest of deranged zombies who tie everything you can to Trump.

Please tell me how Trump is responsible for corona on that ship? Or how a captain trusted with the prized possession of any military, In any era, should not put in shackles for this?

What did they say, more men in space than captained an aircraft carrier?

I've been saying this for weeks. Same could be said for food. Eating at home and shitting at home have shifted demand. I have to imagine the sysco's and compass groups have warehouses of unused commercial TP and meats.
They need to sell their damn single ply giant rolls because offices aren't going to be using them anytime soon.
Local brewery is practically giving away kegs. All their production is geared towards local bars and restaurants so despite demand for bottles and cans, they have tons of unused kegs filled and ready to spoil.

But, of course, no universal health care. How could we ever pay for that?

[truckeelocal]

Oh great ....
"Health officials estimate that around 0.2% of the population in the area is infected with COVID-19, which, according to Weis, is roughly seven to 10 times higher than the rest of California."

and

"Weis also said the hospital has seen several individuals admitted due to avoidable circumstances, namely excessive drinking. In some cases, individuals are choosing to drink in an excessive or unhealthy way and becoming extremely ill while they are sheltering in place, and then they are coming to the hospital gravely ill, even requiring as much as intensive care,"

I read the other day that it's a just in time supply chain issue. The supermarkets are having their issues shifting distribution from pre Covid to post, and hard to ship and low margin paper products are taking low priority over, well, food. For now.

Put in shackles for this? I'd say that's probably putting too fine a point on it. I'm sure he expected to be cashiered for this.

Working from home for the last 12 years. I still get to shit on company time. With better TP. Or so I thought. Now all you all are shitting at home and it's going to make restocking harder.

[BGnight]

The hospital where my wife works as an RN/Case Manager is a 250 bed facility, plus the ER. ER is normally full and people in the halls waiting on bed space on the floors. They are bouncing between 95-120 patients. All elective surgeries and procedures have been cancelled. Hospital is being consolidated from 5 floors into one. Staff is being asked to take leave and some are being placed on furlow. So far, no COVID positive patients.

Rumor is $1,000,000 per day of loss.

Damn. Everyone getting hit financially

Not sure why they wouldn’t be appearing on Amazon, e-bay, Staples website, etc soon...

So, on further re search. This ship pulled into port in Vietnam in March 5th, and the men went ashore. Whoever let that happen should be fired too.

I also read he went around his admiral, the admiral on the same ship as him! And that he might have violated secrecy, by giving away the ships position while sending the message.

But don’t let that stop anyone from cashing in on the world wide pandemic.

Damn, drinking enough to put yourself in the ICU is pretty impressive.
