NSR: Coronavirus: A global Pandemic.

We're gonna go after wet markets?

edit to add: Local grocery store has implemented a one toilet paper package per customer rule

 

One More War! Hoo-hah!

 

Abortion.. What??

 

Cross Thread alert!

Speaking of Corona "Beer":

 

I was in Costco last weekend, one thing that was low in supply (but not yet sold out) was tampon. Surprising to me, an uneducated male. People must have heard of the horror stories from China. Crying, menstruating female health workers with shaved heads were forced to work in hazmat suits without tampon.

 

No home Russ. He was living in an apt when a neighbor realized he hadn’t seen him for a while. He asked the apt manager to let him in to check but he refused so the neighbor called the police and they broke in. Found Terry on the kitchen floor not moving. The EMT guys found a pulse and got him to the hospital. He’d been down for a week managing handfuls of cat food and water.

I chat every couple of days by phone. We’ve moved 8 hours away from there now. As soon as they spring him from there he’ll come and stay with us until he can manage himself. He is doing pretty good.

 

What is with the run on toilet paper?

Trees are not getting COVID-19.

 

Evangelicals running the show.

 

He means the Wuhan virus was concocted in a secret lab there. With the US as a specific target.

We will fight back.

 

Disneyland down.

 

WA Gov Inslee has shutdown all public and private schools in the Seattle area until April 24.

I installed a bidet, so f**k toilet paper!

 

I get that.. But I don't understand what abortion has to do with covid-19 funding?

 

Supply chains break down when people aren’t able to go to work

 

I actually just bought a Shattaf off of Amazon about an hour ago.

 

Ohio schools get a 3 week spring break, hmmm $50 round trip to FLA......

 

University of Washington is requesting that all qualified graduate students suspend their research projects and focus on helping with covid-19 testing. It's currently voluntary, but sounds like it will be mandatory soon.

Wow — dean of University of Washington medical school is asking qualified graduate students to pause their research and instead help run COVID-19 lab tests.

We can't be aborting all these babies that y'all unvascetomied folks are going to be creating over the next 60 days

 

March Madness cancelled. I might have to read a book or something now

 

Not the twitter thread...but if you have 5 minutes I highly recommend you watch Katie Porter in this clip

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.

I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.

I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it. pic.twitter.com/RmolCtmNbG

I don't see how that can be mandatory. The samples to be tested (nasal and throat swaps) are potentially infectious. I can see some grad students not wanting to do that, even if they are offered training in safe handling. Are they also soliciting help from Fred Hutchison (or is it considered part of U of W)?

 

"I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331."

If correct, this is highway robbery. A (triplicate) set of real-time PCR reactions should not cost that much. Someone is making a lot of money out of this crisis.

I wonder how much Gilead will charge for Remdesivir if it turns out to be effective against covid-19.
