It seems to have taken residence in the Portland/Vancouver area.
Two reports in Portland and my wife said someones at her hospital right now with it. Hospitals about a mile away. Good thing the wind doesn't usually come from the south, lol. |

Coronavirus Conference Gets Canceled Because of Coronavirus.
The Council on Foreign Relations has canceled a roundtable called “Doing Business Under Coronavirus” scheduled for Friday in New York due to the spread of the infection itself. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...of-coronavirus @not_the_onion |

We have 10K ventilators in reserve but not that many beds. Maybe 1000 more beds. We will have to set up the vents in high school gyms, hotel rooms etc. But, I think the issue will be not enough Respiratory Therapists to run them all. You cant just put RN's running them. Your off in the slightest pressure/ramp you can injure the lungs and its going to be a slow death for that person. We are 3 weeks behind Europe. We wasted those 3 weeks with trying to develop our own test and botching it instead of just using the same test the rest of the world uses. Our leadership also thought it was just going away in a few days and played golf. Mandatory quarantines will never be accepted here but it looks like alot of the public is willing to self-quarantine to protect themselves and others. They seem to be taking this seriously now. |

Sudbury in northern Ontario just got its first confirmed case , that hospital runs over capacity more than 50% of the year already , there is no way it will be able to handle much overflow , many patients from my town go there for treatment since it’s our regional cancer treatment centre, when discharged they usually end up in the hospital where my wife and I work , it is going to be a shitshow for the forceable future.
Hopefully our ceo doesn’t over react like she did with sars but once we start getting cases in sturgeon it’s going to suck we have a large retirement community. |

That dumbshit in Missouri sure wasn't willing to self quarantine. Ya know, the one who was supposed to quarantine himself and then went to a school program. ****ing stupid selfish mother ****er needs to think about other people instead of just himself.

Puked my guts out in the shower this morning. I was afraid I had the ebola strain of the coronavirus but I think it was just taking my vitamins on an empty stomach.

No idea why I did that but watching orange puke come out of your quivering body at 8 AM while a pandemic is going on is a bit frightening. |
