Great.  Can’t seem to buy one....so :shrug:

I literally just stumbled upon half a box of n95s in my garage. I had no idea I even had them. Wife was doomsday prepping or something.

Yay me.

My old roommate had some I thought he left here with all his other shit, a story for another time.   Anyway I went looking today and couldn’t find any :(

Yeah, no shit.  Tell us that we should wear masks, yet supply us with none.  Good one, Powers That Be.  I guess us guys can just improvise and rip up our t-shirts etc.  Not that I ever did this, but would be akin to playing "bandit" or "gangsta" when you were a kid, only with potentially dire consequences if your mask isn't quite up to snuff...

I have a box of them in my garage that I bought to use for the Fresno State football games when the wild fires were still going on.

To be fair, the hospital charges $15 for one advil, so...

Ridiculous but consider that the estimated collection rate for a hospital when the balance is over $1200 In 2020 is less than 5%. When margins for hospitals are 2-4 % and less for community hospitals, it’s a 15 dollar Advil or no hospital.

That's all ridiculous.

are there still states that haven’t done this yet? 

Nevada technically hasn’t.

Any thoughts as to when this will let up?

I want to say in three weeks, but my guess is the end of May.

I think the shutdowns/quarantines/stay at home orders have done their jobs as best as they could to slow the virus, but that also means a slower recovery.

Cuomo will literally be responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands.  The DNC hero.  He was later than Trump on this and left his state woefully ill prepared.  People are dying everyday because of the democrat hero.

I dont think Cuomo has been horrible to be honest.

Yah, the numbers out of China are absurd.  For propaganda reasons.

The numbers out of Italy are wildly inaccurate too, because of being overwhelmed.  And obviously the UK has a lot more cases than one tenth of ours if they have half the death toll.

Looking at the numbers like it's a sports score is making people less informed not more.  You can dig into specifics, like Retro did on CAs numbers, and glean information from that regarding how many CA tests are pending.  But comparing different countries deaths versus cases, and trying to get comparative data is impossible based on our resources.

And to your point, China is completely full of shit.

It drives me nuts every time I read an article that says the USA has the most Corona virus cases without the additional information of the most confirmed Corona tests.  Terrible reporting.
