Our governor is about to double down and try to enforce his lock-down to destroy the economy and ruin the deplorables.
My hospital system is still doing elective surgeries but has less patients than we did a month a ago during flu. Mrs Coldwarrior’s system decided to cancel all elective surgeries. Her phone rang this AM. For the first time in her long and illustrious career as an RN, she was told to stay home as there are not enough patients to fill the beds in her Level 1 trauma center.
The CEO of our system had a press conference where he basically said, The governor does not run our hospitals and take care of our patients, we will remain at normal operations until we need to put the emergency plain in place. The little Trotskyites are up in arms!
I think that the governor is going to get it for this.

i wonder what his polling data says.
As our oil and gas service company was poring over the arbitrary list Thursday to see if we needed to shut down or not, we noticed that coal miners and their support industries were on the list.
Yeah that got reversed pretty quick…

@ coldwarrior:
I believe hotels were also on the original list, although now they’re saying that by listing “travel accommodations” that isn’t what they meant…
When our company sought clarification, the state told them that “hotels that housed workers” would be exempt.
I would hazard a guess that most of the hotel rooms occupied in the state are by people doing business.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the people who developed the list think that coal miners are all huddled together in a shaft with picks and kerosene lamps.

Rank ordering based on the total number of cases shows that the US on a per-capita basis is significantly lower than the top six nations by case volume. On a 1 million citizen per-capita basis, the US moves to above mid-pack of all countries and rising, with similar case volume as Singapore (385 cases), Cyprus (75 cases), and United Kingdom(3,983 cases). This is data as of March 20th, 2020.

The riot we had yesterday was apparently sparked by coronavirus panic. There was one inmate in each of the two pods that rioted who had some sort of fever and went to medical. Both were evaluated and sent back to their pods. It should be fairly obvious that if someone had it in a locked room with 63 other people, everyone else would get it, but inmates aren’t known for their reasoning abilities.
Anyway, one of them went back and told the entire pod that he had the virus and that medical refused to do anything for him, because the state’s plan is to kill off all the inmates.
Things went downhill from there…

Tanks aren’t very effective for quelling riots and such, anyway. Your first choice would be MPs, then light infantry. Tanks look scary, but unless you’re planning on blowing up buildings or running over cars with them, what good are they in that situation? Yeah, you can use a few as roadblocks, but you don’t need a whole trainload.

Do NOT forget that 500 mg / day Hydrochloroquine alone knocks down 60% of virus cases in 5 days and it takes a lot longer to get the remaining 40%. Mix it with Azithromycin 500mg day 1 and then 250mg days 2-5 and you get a 100% cure rate.
Even if the statistically accurate French study is total BS the two drugs in themselves are mostly without side effects, they are very cheap (the chloroquine retails at 5 cents a 500 mg tab)so for a buck a cure what is there to lose?

@ Aussie Infidel:
when the drug starts getting dispensed next week – actually I think they’re already using it in Boston – this will calm down. I suspect the problem will be people already using it for current conditions – like lobo for his arthritis – might have a hard time getting their normal scripts.
I just got an email from my pharmacy that they were now clearing us all for 90-day scripts for on-going conditions instead of the usual 30.

This one was a analogue model that you construct yourself out of a big coke bottle a small coke bottle and a bucket of water.
Big bottle top cut off and small hole punched in the lower side and another larger hole in the bottom.
Small Bottle top cut off turned upside down and the neck poked through the hole in the bottom of the big bottle and glued in place
Pour water (population) into the open end of the big bottle until water reaches the top lip of cut upside down little bottle…… Health system operating at fill tilt.
Water pouring from the side of the big bottle …. recovering infected
Overflow over the lip of the little bottle partial failure of the health system as cases miss getting into the little bottle and pour out through the bottom hole untreated.
When water level reached the top lip of the large bottle …. systemic failure
The idea is to keep the water level just below the lip of the small bottle
You can do this by restricting the inflow from the bucket (social distancing, hygiene, masks etc) OR building higher walls in the small upside down bottle ( analgesics, increasing medical personnel capacity (?) , etc)
Makes the model clear for getting analgesics into the system fast, and moving VERY fast in reducing contact contagion.

The elite who imagine themselves indispensable to the world that normal people built, run, and defend, are being revealed as useless and ridiculous just when things got serious.
