Yeah, our Md says to get one to help with her Videovisists. New gadget for the meds locker. Thermometer, Blood Pressure Cuff, Blood Sugar kit, now also an Oximeter. I kinda like the idea of not having to wait in her office to see her, now wait at home for her to call us. New Wave Medicine...

My niece who is a Child and Family Psychiatrist is also practicing from her bedroom these days by televisits.

I have one on order for the meds locker.

 

This crisis is pushing a deep cultural change in China:

So you would be OK then, with manufactures slowing down production to create a higher price for things? That is the other side of this.

That only works if you have a cartel, like OPEC, and even that can fall apart. Unless you're selling at a loss, you'll always be better off selling more units.

You guy's should also be applauding this then - https://theintercept.com/2020/04/01/coronavirus-medical-supplies-export/ Or this - https://www.thedailybeast.com/white...al-gear-after-embarrassing-mix-up-says-report

Applauding screw-ups in the fog of chaos? Not me. Normal business dictates that you fill an order if you can. You can't expect anyone to refuse customers until they are so-ordered by their management.

There are many silver linings coming out of this cloud. Think how many of the next few generations may be saved by the hygiene habits they're learning today.

 

From the lack of TP, it seems they have already learned one hygiene habit.

A lesson learned long ago.

From the lack of TP, it seems they have already learned one hygiene habit.

That appears to be the only one they knew to begin with.

It makes you wonder: How many people have learned about a TP shortage the hard way, to horde it at the first hint of a crisis? I can affirm that I never did. Charmed life, I guess.

 

Charmed life, I guess.

More like a Charmin life, you could say...

Feeling any better?
The Cuomo video mentioned a blood oxygen sensor. Looks like a good idea to have one handy to monitor lung efficiency.

About the same 2-4 days to go.I expect to have results by Monday.

 

Massachusetts ordered several millions of masks. They were shipped through New York City, where they were confiscated by FEMA. Never made it to Massachusetts.

So, the New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, ordered 1.5M masks and sent the Patriots team aircraft to pick them up directly.

Hello,

We are reaching the 1000.000 infected persons:



How does it grow so fast:

People who lived through a toilet paper shortage will not hoard it. They know what to do. They also know there are worst shortages than toilet paper. The hoarders are just embarassing themselves.

An international team led by University of British Columbia researcher Dr. Josef Penninger has found a trial drug that effectively blocks the cellular door SARS-CoV-2 uses to infect its hosts.

 

I take so many drugs already. And all have side-effects. What I don't need is another drug to add to the cocktail. Gimme a vaccine...

Edit: 8 in the AM, 6 in the PM, weekly injection and daily fluid dose of Lactulose to keep me from being full of caca. A truly bizzare assortment and all with side-effects. No, Please...

Good deal.

Looks like he really honed his Chinese negotiation skills at that place in Jupiter Florida.

 

Even New Yorkers don't like people from New York City.

Those arriving will then be subject to a 14-day quarantine, and will be checked on daily by law enforcement or health professionals. It remains to be seen if this will calm locals’ fears about New Yorkers spreading infection.

“You get a lot of people who are just plain scared who say: ‘Keep them out, keep them out,’” McLaughlin said.

True patriotism in time of a crisis.

 

Laredo, Tx, which is about a 2 hr drive from where I live, is now applying extreme measures to its citizens.

The city of Laredo in Texas is now requiring all residents to wear a mask any time they enter a building that is not their home, or face up to a $1,000 fine.
