Yeah, I'm probably leaning that way. Almost all the jobs I had leads on have been put on hold within the last week. I have one I'm holding out hope for, a hipster startup in AA that one of their main duties is analyzing network traffic for some of the ISPs for Netflix.

And bought some groceries yesterday. Stores were packed, restaurants with long wait times. Theaters packed.
And the idiots hoarding toilet paper, which is made in the south for the most part, and we are in no danger of running out, that is, unless people buy carloads of it and hoard it.

Someone on here has been screaming about capacity, too. Again, it's not the system's fault -- it would be a remarkably stupid system that holds open 25% of its beds or ICUs "just in case" we get hit with a multi-generational pandemic. But, it's a huge problem.The entire state of New York, not just the City the ENTIRE state, has 19,000 unfilled hospital beds as of friday. There's only a little more than 3,000 ICUs total. The city is already talking about moving patients to upstate hospitals because those in the city are unlikely to handle the load if the current trajectory holds.

My wife is on the front lines of this and the topic of the day yesterday for her conference call was getting people who haven't been fit tested for masks fit tested. I had a faulty assumption that those masks are are generic fits, but that is a false assumption. There is a class you have to take to be able to properly fit test a worker, also a test will waste a mask and they are low on supply.
Unrelated to that, I read a piece on the national strategic medical masks reserve. Like Canada's stategic maple syrup reserve I never knew it existed.

I seriously don't get the toilet paper run. Was there some news story that was the catalyst for this? If you asked things I would need to hole up for a couple weeks I would not list toilet paper.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View PostComment

Yeah they normally have the unit secretaries do the tests but they were having trouble finding people for the weekend that had taken the class to get the ball rolling.Comment

I work for a hospital as a shuttle driver for cancer patients part time on a per-diem (as needed) basis. I told my boss (RN) on Friday that I will not be returning to work due to my risk factors until this thing subsides.
Today, she posted this article. I'm thinking I made the right decision.

Even hand sanitizer to me is silly. Go to your liquor store and buy a cheap bottle of 100 proof or better grain alcohol.
For example, a liter bottle of Everclear will make about a liter and a half of hand sanitizer. Throw some lanolin and fragrance in it if you want. Use plastic water bottles as containers. Super cheap and super easy."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment
