SUNDAY UPDATE: Pritzker closes bars, restaurants across Illinois

Wow. Pretty much shutting down the whole state.

I'm just not sure this is the correct response. I see people continuously promoting panic on social media when in fact calm is much better, why? The stress that is being put on the supply chain in California and other states will prove damaging. So far is AZ, people have been pretty civilized at the stores. I've been all over Phoenix area in the last week.

So here's a question, what happens next year when this one becomes endemic? Do we stay couped up? Or do we take a different tactic. It's clear that we have a societal culture problem when it comes to fitness. If the virus attacks those who smoke and those who are obese the most, then fitness needs to become a key part of our culture.
 
My boss has been in the hospital command center this weekend. She emailed me a few hours ago, said "it's nuts and info is flowing in like crazy.". She said she wants me to represent our department in the command center tomorrow, but I think I can get out of it.

We are discussing pulling out the ol' SMAT hospital to triage people coming into the ED, and have a separate COVID-19 area for assessment and treatment.

We've got a couple more local cases today. We'll see how Monday goes.

If it becomes endemic or seasonal, it'll just become part of a new norm. I'd expect an immunization to be fast-tracked. We'll treat like it the flu.

Bro, I was so freaked out. I lysol'd myself, my partner, our uniform, cleaned truck. Lol. Fuck this. If we live through this (lol), I'm changing jobs. Being in the ERs, dropping patients off is like being in a giant microorganism of fuck....

Unass you and your Boss lady, buy a house in the country. I'm grateful we live out where we do. We're not totally immune but it makes you a little more relaxed. Stay safe and healthy.

I don't know if you follow ACEP, they put word out that a couple emergency medicine docs are in critical condition with COVID-19. I don't know their location.

Or....what if turns out like SARS in 2003 where it just up and disappears on it's own for some unexplained reason...so, far to never return?

Crazy times.
