Thank you brad. In my opinion and based on the significance of worldwide PPE shortages, this is the most relevant & helpful post on this thread, if not the entire forum.
All of us who are still healthy and capable, must consider whatever ways and/or means they have at their disposal to offer to their local/regional healthcare providers, first responders, neighbors (especially the elderly & those with limitations), etc. If we all rely on hopes, prayers and others to bring this crisis to an end, who knows how long it may take.
Again, if you are capable and willing, please consider what ways you may be able to help, including ideas, suggestions, and support of others. Thanks you.
The person who was chief medical officer in Ontario (Canada) during the Sars outbreak recently wrote an article for the Toronto Globe and Mail. One of the things he wrote was to never listen to the pundits and talking heads, they are always wrong. Listen to the WHO.
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rolling Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I Coughed a Lung up
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Wuhan
God, there’s got to be another way
Oh wa oh wa oh wa oh wa
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oho! Not only have they used this calamity to get Germany on board with issuing joint debt with other EU nations. Now Germany is poised to declare a state of emergency for the next year. In Canada, Trudeau introduced a bill that would give him a free hand to tax and spend without seeking approval from Parliament. All over a virus that hasn’t killed one tenth as many people as a typical flu season does. The score: Influenza 1/4 million, Covid-19 less than 17,000.
