China is trash and not reporting the correct stats. If anyone believes China's numbers are correct, please fill your pockets with rocks and walk into the surf zone. Bonus points if you have a backpack filled with bricks.

Unfortunately it won't stop the media from reporting our failure as a country when China was able to stop the spread entirely...

I wonder how many people are truly buying all that bullshit.
 
We still have a lot of procedural questions about what we are doing, so today we did mock rapid response/codes to train staff and look for holes. Damn, there's still a lot of holes. But we learned a ton, and will keep doing these with multiple staff on multiple units so everyone singing from the same sheet of music.

The PPE in the photos are mock and not what we are really wearing, is just a simulate.

There is a lack of coordinated response in the US. We can’t determine when a pandemic occurs or its consequences but we should have been prepared for one, given previous epidemics. That alone is grounds for the “failure” argument.

The PRC failed. So have we. We are where we are, and I hope we come out of this stronger and more resilient.

Not gonna lie, reading “Pornhub donated...” made me snort my coffee. I’m happy they stepped up and did something, don’t get me wrong. It just wasn’t the sentence I expected to read during my wake-up info binge.

Same here.
Just a thought, what percentage of the N95 masks are made in China?
Big Pharma pushing back against the POTUS demand for US production tells me what I need to know.

True, but when did we last have a real pandemic to work with?
Unexplored territory.

Well shit, that's true. I may have to hold off on looking at stock in Pampers and formula then.

(Gah! Gillette, Pampers, and Luvs, belong to Proctor & Gamble, not sure if I want to give money to a bunch of SJW's.)

I don't know about that. Clearly, you haven't watched Tiger King.

I have not, nor will I. Netflix and Hulu are businesses I refuse to patronize.

Holy heck. It makes sense in a weird way. I get Canada doesn't want to deal with junkies dying in large numbers, taking up sorely needed medical resources, and ramping up on crime to get their fix... but wow! What a strange time we live in. O_o
