A few thoughts since I have time to write them down. Its here and we have to deal with it, its not going away anytime soon and the slower we get people infected the better the care the ones who need hospitalization will receive. Also, as you stock up or remain stocked up on things think about the supply chain issues. There are factories in China that make drugs, baby formula, supplies, etc that have been closed for going on 10 weeks now, how long until the warehouses run out? If you are someone who requires certain medications to live, such as an insulin dependent diabetic I'd be asking for prescription refills now for as long as your doctor will give them to you, this is gonna be an ongoing problem for at least the next 2-4 months.
Jesse, thanks for sharing that Joe Rogan podcast, great info in that without being hysteria building.
Hospital systems in WAare beginning to cancel all elective procedures, expect it to follow suit here in Ohio in about 1-2 weeks (or sooner) and elsewhere.
I'm still trying to figure out the fascination with toliet paper.
Americans as a whole have become very self centered, egotistical and selfish. When we see supply chain disruptions, and/or healthcare disruptions (if we follow Italy see
here) how long until we get violence? How fast did we go from a first to third world country after Katrina in some areas?
We need to make sure that we don't give up too much liberty in the face of this. Think of all the crap the patriot act has given us. I understand the money allowed by the President declaring a national emergency but what about the power grab.... I would be surprised if martial law has not already been discussed in some circles. In CA they are already trampling the 4th amendment for hotels to become overflow hospitals; my question is who is going to staff them?
We are only on the front side of this, still have more shit to shovel our way out of.
He sent my dad this text and dad forwarded it to me.
