That's good stuff Rockstar ... I have to admit that sometimes I like you and sometimes I don't, but I'm starting to like you a lot more

I put off reading or watching the news this morning, but by the time I did I'm starting to get mad at this administration. Reading the New York Times doesn't help of course

Bottom line is that the USA does not have enough testing kits for Covid-19 out there in the general public (I know the VA doesn't have them I've been there)

When the so called one million test kits are made available the one percent rule comes into effect exposing the 10,000 cases of Covid-19 already out there and have been since February

NBC News analyzed media and official reports on more than 150 coronavirus deaths. This is an early sample

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...at-we-n1151666

Quote:
NBC News collected 167 reports published from Jan. 23 to March 3 on coronavirus deaths in mainland China, Hong Kong, the Philippines and the United States. Most of the victims were older: 128 of were 65 years or older, eight were under 35
Quote:
104 were men, 63 were women.
Quote:
Health data was available for 116 cases. Of those, 114 had underlying health conditions.
Quote:
Death from the coronavirus is caused by respiratory failure brought on by pneumonia

“Once you get into acute respiratory distress syndrome, it's about how well can your body handle the stress
Quote:
There is no treatment available for the coronavirus. All health care personnel can do is treat symptoms, including giving medications to treat the fever and cough associated with the illness ...
Quote:
Sometimes people experience complications, and need extra care, such as breathing assistance, ventilators or even extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Quote:
While the coronavirus has spread quickly, 4 of 5 patients who develop the disease recover without needing special treatment, statistics from the World Health Organization show
I have a pantry that will now get me through to early April, but not enough medical supplies yet to self treat anything (working on that one)

I have been using Wal-Mart's two (2) day delivery for basic supplies, plus a lot cheaper than my small valley stores for paper towels etc. and they always arrive on time, but now the two (2) days has become five (5) and some items even (9) days.

Don't be afraid, don't panic, be ready, things you would already use next month go ahead and get now.

You know why all of those quarantined people from the one million test kits being administered too have family and friends and they are going to be ordering too.

I like you too Mr. Quatro. Heck, I'll even let you have a few rolls of my toilet paper.

But I use cheap paper towels from fear of the great American break through

I am not sure whether i understand how it all works (edit: i do not understand at all lol). I remember Aden(os)in, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine and Uracil from school as being the basic components of DNA and/or RNA, also that this is how our DNA (genetic infornation) came to be - it was initially formed by viruses that were incorporated, and used for the reproduction code.

But i have no idea what the "arrest" of some of those bases means here

Germany still targets this by means it had thought to have learned from the financial crisis 2007 ff - and by that logic terribly fails to recongise the biological-medical-mathematical dimension of it.

Utmost total and complete failure (or capitulation, I dont know). Or better: reality-denial. Federal states openly object measures demanded by the federal health ministry that would put restrictions on movement-related civil liberties, public schools and kindergardens, travelling. I know form first hand reports of people in four cities across all of germany now that the cities stumble clueless and blindly into the midst of what is coming at them, regarding preparation for the medical dimension of it all. Equipment and supplies are missing, missing, and once again missing. travel restrictions will come nation-wide anyway, inevitably - but not before politicians made sure that the plague has thoroughly spread already.

Have switched to batteries today and went into a dive for the ground. I do not plan to surface any time soon in the coming 8 weeks at least.

What it reminds me of? A house of cards that is crumbling. Moral absolute demands for the world. Absolute socialist regime at home. Costs money. Econoym has somehow to foot the bill for all that. And now comes Mr. Corona and blows a mild wind in the direction of banks and businesses, and all those claims and megalomianc dreams are flying off into the sky - that well-founded and well rooted and substantially solid and anchored in sustainable realities the spending model was.



This is not even a really nasty virus!
