Attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship are essential services? Florida is fucked.

Their governor wouldn't allow 250 Canadians or fellow Americans who aren't Florida residents off docked cruise boats. We remember the 6,500 Americans Canadians took into their homes when they were stranded in Gander, Newfoundland during the September 11 attacks.

Yep, considering that the Gov allowed the spring break antics when other states were on lockdown, keeping the tourists on the boats seems rather stupid, cruel and ineffectual

Cuomo just said in his presser that one of the things nys is doing is converting bi-pap machines into emergency ventilators. He didn't give any details of how they are using them, but did say they don't have the output they need for the sickest patients. So they are probably using them up front, for the people who need something short of the most sophisticated support to take pressure off the supply.

Let's hope between this and Vapotherm they will have enough ventilators capable of the PEEP required to save the sickest youngsters.

I'm sure this was already posted, but it deserves a repeat.....

“Roughly 280 million masks in warehouses around the U.S. were purchased by foreign buyers on Monday alone, according to Forbes. A FEMA spokesperson said the agency ‘has not actively encouraged or discouraged U.S. companies from exporting overseas’.”

Just got back from Walmart. They are getting well. They had plenty of milk, eggs, napkins, toilet paper had to be asked for, but their stock was much better.

I didn't wear my respirator but only a cowl.
Went to my local big box warehouse store (ironically called bj's, the one thing they never stock...) on Monday. They were well healed except for a few notable supplies. They had TP, paper towels, most cleaning supplies, all milk types, fruit/veg's including avocados, pasta, etc.

What they didn't have: Nutella, Chocolate Chips, Flour of any kind, or chlorox bleach. It seems a lot of people are baking nutella chocolate chip cookies with bleach. ;)

Lurves me some Nutella.
My last meal request (should I be thus sentenced) would be a Cinnabon slathered in Nutella floating in Bailey’s Irish Cream.
