Wonder what choice the anti-vaxxers will make if a COVID19 vaccine becomes available?

"I don't understand how McDonalds can sell 2 billion hamburgers per year, but when I order 10,000 at the drive through it clogs up the entire system!"

There Felony, I equated it to cheeseburgers for easier comprehension.

Yeah, I get what is being said. However, nobody is taking into account that the hot spots on lockdown would naturally see a drastic reduction in non-virus deaths and injuries. Auto accidents, gang and other criminal activity, miscellaneous stupidity, etc. I'd bet that this reduction, in a city like New York, frees up more morgue and cemetery space than the total number of domestic Covid deaths thus far. Keep in mind I'm primarily addressing claims of bodies stacked to the ceiling everywhere you look and the fear-mongering convincing the population that millions here will die.

I just read an account from someone that this overcrowding in hospitals just does not exist. CBS has stooped to showing a picture of a crowded Italian hospital while claiming it was a New York facility. Busted, they have pulled the article. I still think there's a lot of hype aimed at getting pieces of this multi-trillion dollar virus package. We'll probably never know the truth.

Whole lot of variables there.

My sister in law is a Dr in Harlem.  There is a crowding issue.  Also a shortage of Dr's that aren't sick and supplies are gone.  That isn't a conspiracy, that is reality.
We saw the same locally in Albany GA, where a funeral became virus spreader.
The one person from my home town that went to the funeral is a first case.

Thankfully she had a low profile job (She is the woman that checks every receipt as you leave Walmart).

Hey, if those receipt checkers are out of work, shoplifting becomes viable again. Yessss! Um, OK, gotta go now.

I work for a mechanical contracting company, we have been receiving a windfall of work. FEMA and the Corps of Engineers are turning hotel rooms into temporary care units. It should be pretty quick work, I thought it was a savvy idea.

I'm on a webinar tomorrow about how some universities are using software from a company that we use for room management to convert residence halls into temporary quarters for medical personnel that are moving around to help in the fight.  I'm on there to listen and hope it doesn't come to that here. 

We had 3 more positives today - one from Dallas and one with no travel history, implying community transmission

WFT v1 - We have actually had a couple that returned from NY, got tested, his came back positive and they both refused to self quarantine - even while he was symptomatic - and just went about whatever for a week or so.  They are now basically under house arrest with the PD watching. 

WTF v2 -
"ABILENE, Texas — A 35-year veteran of the Abilene Police Department owns one of the six food trucks involved in an event that was shut down by police.

"Food Trucker Friday" was held Friday evening in the parking lot of the Drug Emporium.

Organizers asked everyone to practice social distancing.

"We ask that everyone be mindful of social distancing and remain 6ft from each while in line," said the organizers on Facebook. "We also ask that NO more then 10 people in each line at one time per the city."

But that did not happen and the crowds caught the eye of City Manager Robert Hanna.

Hanna called Police Chief Stan Standridge.

Standridge told KTXS that a police lieutenant was dispatched to the scene.

"There seems to be some confusion related to gatherings and social distancing," said Standridge. " Some believe that as long as they are 6' apart, they can gather. The law provides no such exemption. Gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited and governed by state and municipal laws. We continue to seek voluntary cooperation, which we obtained Friday night."

*sigh*  :-X
