I've always wanted to wipe my ass on carpet by dragging myself around like I've seen dogs do. And, you know how you end up with all that extra carpet that seemingly goes unused and stored in the garage/attic when you get new carpet installed? Well...we're waiting!

Πληροφορίες, μάλιστα, αναφέρουν ότι ήδη έχουν φτάσει στην Ελλάδα τις τελευταίες ημέρες δεκάδες κρούσματα κορωνοϊού από το Λονδίνο." Translation: Many dozens of carriers have been detected to come from repatriation flights from London in the last days. And all of a sudden from 30 cases every day it jumped to 95 new cases. We have begun taking strict measures 12 days ago. Except lockdown which happened tonight.Finally.
It's a prescription medication, right? Interesting how doctors are prescribing it without clear data to back it up. Are physicians folding under patient pressure, or something?
Merkell is quarantined! First world leader that is because of themselves and not due to their "wives" or "husbands".
Stupid and selfish is different from irrational. They stocked up on something that everyone said would not run out - and then it ran out. There's literally no negative for the people who stocked up. And now they don't have to be the person that has to go looking from store to store.
I guess this is technically true - but she was quarantined because of contact with a doctor that has it, not because she has it. Other world leaders were quarantined because of contact with wives/husbands that had it, which seems worse.
stupid and irrational are closely linked lol, it ran out because they went and hoarded it all... yeah, and now everyone else does because those morons decided that toilet paper is a #1, must have essential that houses must have a 1 year supply of...like I said, stupid and selfish
**** man, I hope you're able to get it. I mean we're all in this together, but if medicines are hoarded from people who need them on a regular basis it really sucks to say the least.
Because food and water is still available easily - toilet paper is not. They guessed right. And food can go bad so certain items can only be stocked for so long - toilet paper will be used eventually regardless.
This is an interesting view - hospitals could be the worst spread vectors at this point. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/italian-doctors-urge-move-from-patient-centered-care Italian Doctors Urge Move from Patient-Centered Care A new article authored by a group of physicians in Bergamo, Italy proposes a radical theory of the COVID-19 outbreak and how it must be addressed. (It is published in a new peer-reviewed journal from the New England Journal of Medicine. Article here; write up in StatNews here.) The authors write that “Western health care systems have been built around the concept of patient-centered care,” but that doctors must now move to “community-centered care.” What does this mean? Concretely it means that hospitals themselves may be a big part of the problem. When lots of COVID-19 patients rush into the hospitals, clinicians are then spreading it within the hospitals. Key quote: “We are learning that hospitals might be the main Covid-19 carriers, as they are rapidly populated by infected patients, facilitating transmission to uninfected patients. Patients are transported by our regional system, which also contributes to spreading the disease as its ambulances and personnel rapidly become vectors.” The authors argue that doctors should be treating many patients at home, both via telemedicine and house calls. The implications of this are stark and sobering. They grant that for some patients this will mean inferior care individually though better outcomes for the community at large. Again, these are trade-offs and logics American medicine and society are really not prepared to confront. But obviously we’re also not prepared to confront denying potentially life-saving care to all but those with the best chance to survive. To be clear, it’s not all painful tradeoffs and rationing. Many patients who are seriously but not critically ill can be successfully treated in their homes, they argue, with a mix of telemedicine, home visits and bringing critical supplies of things like oxygen and medicine. They also recommend creating hospitals exclusively focused on COVID-19c care for those who need critical interventions in order to limit hospitals serving as vectors of spread.
