Just spoke to a friend in Ohio. Works at a huge hospital system.
Today given one N95 to reuse for the foreseeable future.
One surgical mask a shift.
Can only wear masks for confirmed #coronavirus patients.
This is how healthcare workers get infected.
This is how we lose.

In the 27 mins since posting this, Ive received dozens of messages from healthcare workers all over the country. AZ, CA, LA, MI, TX... Exact same situation.
Masks are rationed.
Cant speak up.
Not good for hospital optics.
OUR FRONLTINE PROVIDERS WILL DIE. WE NEED PPE!

Today I was told that we are going through too many latex gloves. That we should only be using 6 pairs per individual.

I was rather upset. I've been bringing in my own lysol, sanitizer, etc for about a month. Now I am expected to do the same with gloves. I literally bought 2 boxes the other day at costco, no reason my employer should not be able to accommodate this.

I don't work at a hospital, but i work in the pharmaceutical industry.

That reminds me...I do have a full time job, but was Ubering part time because my pay kind of sucks, and now I can't Uber. Does someone like me qualify for unemployment? I'm missing out on about $300-500 a month now.

I knew that part but was more concerned about the having a full time job part since I'm not really "unemployed"

Guess the worst thing that can happen is I waste 20 minutes applying and they say no lol

Unreal and disheartening. It will seriously be a real question to ask, "was it worth it?" a few months after this is all over. Hopefully those are "temporary" unemployment claims or something so we can confidentially say, "yes" it was worth it.

You're being incredibly disingenuous. Amount of deaths is still rising exponentially. The amount of unemployment won't be rising much higher than it is now.

Almost certainly. Especially when our governments idea of an economic stimulus is a measly one time 1200 bucks

Here's the thing.
The lockdowns and stay at home orders are there to slow down the spread, not completely stop it. Stopping it is impossible coz only countries like China can force such extreme quarantine measures and the fucking snowflakes / self-taught "experts" today don't listen to isolation orders.

Why slow down then? Because it lets hospitals prepare for the massive number of infected by supplying themselves with protective gear, medicine, medical devices. But guess what, Trump fucked that up badly, too, and hospitals are badly undersupplied, overloaded.

Even without that, lockdowns let the companies prepare for it. If covid breaks out, it'll be shutting down companies regardless by making the workers ill and killing the older people (experts / leaders)

do you not understand what this would do to almost all the banks? They're privately owned. So you expect owners/renters to then be faced with a 4 month backlog of rent/mortgage payments? Interest free?

some places freezed rent but they still owe. same with utilities.
maybe 2 or 3 states have some form of protection right now.

but there's going to be so much stress :(.

edit: oregon has 90 day protection on rent and utilities
washington is 30 day protection on rent and utilities.

So now even trump and pence are both starkly warning this is going to get very very dire, Italy dire.

Medical experts are telling people to make sure they have some sort of will in place, and that most of us will possibly lose someone we know at the very least, if not someone we love.

Economy heading for depression.

I'm still currently employed and working at work, in a long term care pharmacy, but our business has declined 40% in the last month. I just bought a car in early February, I live alone. I worry daily about my mom and sister.

I swear to god, I can weather all of this, but if I lose my sister, I'm done. She and her kids are all I got in the world these days.

Comparing this economic disaster to anything post 2000 is just laughable to me. The more accurate descriptions I've heard compare it to WW2 and the great depression. I don't see how it won't be worse than the great depression.

In other news, my mom's staff doctor (she's the nurse in charge of epidemiology protocol at a place for very sick kids) said that here in NM our pandemic surge is modeled to happen here in Albuquerque on the 20th-21st. They will be flying in a mobile hospital to balloon Fiesta Park in preparation. The governor did not disclose these details in her address but I expect if things remain on course that in fact this will be the case.

It's starting to pick up here in Arizona, particularly in Phoenix and Tuscon. Phoenix has one thing going for it compared to other cities hit so far, and that's that everything and everyone is spread out over a massive area. My sister is a nurse at the hospital, I work in long term care. They're projecting the main surge to start by the third week of this month, with the peak being third week of May.

there's a couple governors that should've done something before it got worse despite being useless.... NY and washington they didn't do enough early on.

it's going to let the flood gates open and really screw over the next state next to em.

Do you pay a mortgage? Because my bank said there would be zero late fees/interest from this. I get 90 days of not paying my mortgage and if the impact of the virus exceeds those 90 days they'll extend the offer further.

These banks can handle not being paid for 3-4 months, they have the means to do so.

Washington's actually done really well through this. Which is why Jay Inslee isn't on TV everyday, but Andrew Cuomo is.

They aren't out of control actually, not yet anyway. But yes, Doug Douchey is a massive incompetent prick. He owns golf courses and his wife owns hair salons. Guess which two things are included in the list of essential businesses?

I do pay a mortgage. But that's a hell of a concession that your mortgage company is granting. Personally I am still working, so I feel no need to fall behind on payments if I do not need to.
