Special consideration must be given to people in the VA because their circumstances are a bit different than someone not needing medical attention yet demanding it regardless.
Something can be taken seriously w/o falling into the status quo.

Look, I understand the desire to try and pass this off as media fear mongering, some conspiracy, or whatever. But the reality of the situation is that this is serious. I am not the smartest when it comes to this and I do not know everything about viruses. I do know enough that when I hear or read certain things it raises alarms. Due to the industry I am in I have been having conversations with hospital staff, we have had many emails and conversations within my company. The things you are seeing is not some grand scheme. These places are listening to the experts. And the experts are in agreement that this is serious.
Look at Italy, Italy went quickly to a regional and then national quarantine and ban. This has not really slowed the virus. Within a 24 hour period, they had a 24% increase in deaths. This could be due to the older population numbers like we have here, a mutation, overwhelming of resources, or a combination. I do know their healthcare system is taxed to the point that they are making decisions on whom to treat and whom to let nature handle. No, that can happen here very quickly.
I promise that the things that are going on, the response by health systems, the purchasing of equipment is not over some big nothing burger. This is the real deal.
I can imagine worse places to be stuck than Hawaii lol
But I feel you. I was supposed to go to Edinburgh for work this week but my company cancelled all non essential travel.
Condensed for space.
Conspiracy is a new one I've not heard til now. There are ways in which to rationally deal with a serious or potentially serious situation. Making people think we're gonna be holed up in a two story mall out by Pittsburgh is not productive. Ask yourself if a bad situation is made worse by calming down and evaluating the situation or going full on chicken w/o a head. People need to be smart. Craziness is not helpful.
Just to be clear, I understand the potential risks. No shit this is serious and everyone agrees things will be strained.
However, the idea that an ER will deny treatment in the scenario mentioned isn’t shared by everyone in the medical profession. That’s the only point I was addressing.
FWIW, I think some of you ARE secretly hoarding TP.
Well he did it. Unbelievable.
Well who doesnt want a clean butt
Just use your dirty socks. They are even reusable.

I'm sorry, I've had a couple of drinks but I've thought about a few things.
1. Trump is in an election year
2. Could or how would the Dem's take this effect on if was in office?
3. The US has a surplus in oil and it's time we give the finger to the middle east on @ss raping us for years?
4. If the Oil stock drops and within prediction, does it really hurt us? We can tell china to get bent on our debt and leave them high and dry and rebuild industry in the US and enforce harder import taxes coming in?
5. Is it time to to become a natural nation, build our fronts and build good fronts with our north and south regions military wise? Put away the petty drug traffic and such and minorities and worry about true survival.
My last Idea is this, why has this not hit Africa where poverty and disease have run it's a course over the past three decades and they are not affected?

I went to the store three times last week to get things for the grill. Each visit I bought one pack. I wouldn't call it hoarding as much as preparedness.
Toilet paper is in very short supply but literally on the next shelf are tons of Bounty and Brawn paper towels?
Adapt and overcome. I've used everything from tissue paper in a dressing room, leaves, newspaper and even a burger king bag. Make it work!

A convention I was going to in Vegas in May just got cancelled.

Speaking of the NHL, use the time away and watch the documentary Tough Guy.
Boston Marathon is delayed until September. First time this has been done in the 124 year history of the Marathon.
