Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

[Rain Cold]

As long as there's no effective treatment, the options are still binary. Either lock down all of it and stop the bulk of it, followed by extensive testing and strict quarantining and contract tracing for all positives. Or, just open everything back up and let it run. Hospitals will be overwhelmed for a while and people will die. It will show up in waves and will sweep across the communities of America until it burns out.

The current rolling, indefinite, almost, kind of, quasi-shutdown stuff won't be able or allowed to persist indefinitely. It's really the worst case for the economy. And the social psychological well-being.

If you got laid off and file unemployment . You will be bringing home 972 a week. Unbeleivable. Get laid off and get a pay raise.

Senators are debating this currently . They just had a report about this very topic

Where did you get that from? What if you make more than that a week? Then it’s not a pay raise...?

Holy Cow, Gov of Mississippi overrules mayors and local orders of shelter in place. Deems nearly everything a essential business. ?

Fed kicks in 600 everyone across the board. Add that to the state standard avg of 372= 972. Republicans wanted to just pay whatever they where making when laid off. But Bernie and Dems threatened to wreck the bill if they didnt stick with 600 flat fee.

 

[NCSNOW]

Avg person who clears 972 a week is making 50 to 60,000 a year or roughly 30 bucks an hour

That's just it. If a business isn't essential, then the market will dictate it and it goes away. When we do a partial shutdown, the ripple effects on other businesses can effectively shut them down as well because many our so intertwined. The Economic effects are enormous. Gov Cooper said on Monday that NC normally averages 3000 new unemployment claims a week but last week we had 100000. That was just the real 1st week of this and only with a select number of closures at the time. We simply can't do that for long.

Got a question in regards to the meds,
In N.C., if one gets sick, and needs or ask for the hydroxychloroquine, will he have access to it?

Beautiful.

No way economy can be shut down till June or July. By then food supplies will be scarce and crime and suicides a bigger pandemic. A friend of mine works at 911 call center in MN. She told me this morning the crimes are exploding and suicidal calls are also. She said it’s starting to come unglued there.

That's fine most of the time. But this is a disaster man.

You don't let 'the market' dictate everything during a crisis. Unless you don't consider price-gouging to be a problem.

I think so. I know a family pharmacy that said the have it.

You need the zpack with it and i think one other drug. Thats how it works best. Should be available.chloroquine, zpack definitely. Hydrochloroquine is newer

Trump was saying that same thing in pc other day. Suicide,depression will become a major problem if we ride this bust for 2 to 3 months. Just another caveat to juggle along with economic depression, hospital surge , mortality rate

A little good news. Sheetz gives everyone $3 raise. Average pay there is like $13.xx so $16.xx on average now. Due to Coronavirus.

Me, my wife, and my son are quarantined for ten days. We both had persistent coughs but no fever. Today my wife developed a fever. She went to urgent care. Negative strep and negative flu. She can’t get a covid test. She’s young and doesn’t have severe symptoms. GA is sparingly using their tests only for those with severe symptoms is what we were told. She sounds horrible. Doc said her lungs were not too bad but I’m worried. She’s sleeping next to me and I can hear her wheezing. This sucks.... I’ve got the headache and cough but haven’t had a fever yet.

Yes I've been keeping up with the cocktail progress, wondering why a Dr. would not give it to you if you're out of options.
I saw a report that a governor band the use of it in his state

Bad news for the Yadkin Valley area (Wilkes/Surry) with 500 layoffs at Lydall. Usually if corona wasn’t going on this would be the biggest news in many many years around here. This is directly tied to corona.

880 page bill they are voting for tonight. Why couldn’t they do something just for the American worker only quicker in a sooner bill. How am I suppose to read all of that

 

[dsaur]

Now THAT is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. That guy may not get coronavirus but he sure increased his changes significantly not to mention all kinds of other things he could get... ugh.

If he lives, he'll have antibodies to all kinds of stuff. I still think kids need to eat dirt and swallow pennies like we did as kids, and it's why we're still here There will be some old people who will kick Corona's ass because of touching disgusting things then putting their fingers in their mouths when they were tykes Got to get those good antibodies when you are young.

I mean is the South trying to rise again? Someone posted a graphic earlier showing what each state is doing, and it almost looks like Mason Dixon line showing up between the states in the North buckling down and the Southern states refusing to give in.

Exactly, its so frustrating. Our Gov is going on tv again tomorrow night at 8 for a townhall meeting. He will undoubtedly take planted easy questions and brag about what he is doing

I just spoke to two buddies that are police man. One in LA other in Oakland. Both said they have been getting extra ammo because things out there are coming unhinged. Crimes such as robberies and assaults and home invasions. People looking for food and money. Things to barter with. This will only continue to increase. So we have 68k and little over 1k deaths. Yes sad no doubt but don’t see us hitting the number of deaths that were projected. Maybe the Cocktail works and is helping. If it does then after next week I say fire it up and let the cards fall where they may. Enough letting inmates out and not arresting. I know 3 people personally that had it and it was a severe flu but all survived and 2 we’re smokers.

Better find that vaccine. We can’t shut down every season.

This is like saying storm canceled before it even starts because its not snowing IYBY yet....

The number of cases go up by 10k+ every single day, hospitals all across the country are approaching max capacity.....the US is on the wrong side of the "peak, plateau" whatever you want to call it....when you say "let the cards fall where they may" you do understand what you are really saying is "let whoever is going to die die " right...…that is what the result of " firing it back up" will be, literally thousands of people that would have otherwise survived will die...luckily your not in charge.

Except food supplies aren't scarce nor will they be anytime soon, I work for a grocery store so I know first hand basically every day what our supplies look like. Trucks are still coming in as they normally do, a few things are low but it's far from crazy.

Kathy Griffin slams Trump's coronavirus response while in hospital with 'unbearably painful' symptoms

Comedian Kathy Griffin has criticized Donald Trump and Mike Pence's approach to coronavirus testing while in the hospital with 'unbearably painful' COVID-19 symptoms.

Give her no drugs and ship her to China. I will pay for her ticket. I take comfort she’s in pain.

Oh ok interesting. $372 is $9.30/hr that’s barely livable these days. An extra $600/week could do some good for the economy as well, it’s going to help much more than a $1200 check.

The same people hoping they get a $1200 check are probably against this extra $600 too which is odd. If you take money from the government you can’t complain about someone else doing the same.

Unemployment is terrible. I don’t mind those folks getting $972/week for 4 months when corporations get trillions of dollars of tax breaks honesty. In the end it benefits the economy and families.

Got a question in regards to the meds,

This was sent to all the pharmacists in the state restricting its use to certain diagnoses. So without appropriate diagnoses on the Rx, pharmacists can’t fill it.

http://www.ncbop.org/LawsRules/COVID19DrugPreservationRule21NCAC46.1819.pdf

The short answer is yes, but in my personal opinion there’s already a Hydroxychloroquine shortage. It’s sold out everywhere right now.
