We won't even be able to keep pace with Italy in terms of treating patients.
They have 1,500 ICU beds in the entire country with 1,153 critical cases. This is why they are struggling. It's pretty incredible for a Harvard professor to not account for this factor or occupancy.
If we are going to use his simplified analysis, we have capacity for (750,000 beds / 10% critical rate) 7.5 million cases at any one time, but that's stupid. The bottleneck will be in ICU beds and mechanical ventilators.
Disney World just announced that they are closing their parks and cruise line for the next 2 weeks beginning on the 15th.

Dude,...you are a special kind of dumba$$.
This is a bit like the gas shortage thing all over again. Panic driven shortages when if everyone could calm a bit, we'd be fine.

Is there a way to add common flu since January in order to compare that as well?
Went by Kroger in Spring on way home about 4pm for beer and dinner supplies. They were out of TP but everything else well stocked and not to busy.
Three hours later neighborhood Facebook starts blowing up that Kroger and HEB are out of most everything, long lines, and restricting how many people in at a time.
Freaking idiots. All the cancellations have started a panic.

I'm talking about the shortages in stores today, not the broader picture on the economy impact. Obviously, all of these shutdowns are going to negatively impact the economy and jobs. But today, not everyone needs 2 months of toilet paper.Bingo Bango Bongo said:

there WILL be layoffs now, and when Q1 financials come out, and likely again in Q2.

went to Kroger tontie in Westbury you would have thought is was the end of world really pathetic to see.Rapier108 said:Pictures on Twitter of lines in Austin at HEB that are 200+ long to check out.
Virtually every shelf is empty. No meat, no produce, little frozen food, no canned goods, and little if anything else.
And of course, no toilet paper.
HEB finally had to come out and say they are not closing down because clearly that rumor (as we saw posted here earlier before the mods deleted it) is making the rounds on social media.
Wow. I stocked up a couple weeks ago with meat, canned stuff but figured I could go pick some more stuff out tonight. Guess not

What are people doing with all this? I don't understand. The poops are not part of the wu-flu.
Some people were mocking those of us who saw the writing on the wall and stocked up weeks ago...
Was pretty obvious this hysteria was going to happen when the virus took hold in the US.

Can I use all of this as an excuse to hunt the greenbelt in our neighborhood?
Ok, I've taken it upon myself to figure out how this will end. I've downloaded Plague Inc and will conduct intensive forecasting research.
they are part of the problem as wellmugwurt said:

Strange for her to jump to the racist conclusion. Could be bc nobody wants to stock up on something that is perishable or can be frozen. But, she's probably a lib, so it makes sense
Do you happen to know what the scenario would be like for rural hospitals? Not trolling, genuinely curious. Friend of mine just moved into their dream place out in the country but they travel back to Aggieland several hours away to visit their doctors, etc. I am sympathetic to wanting to stick with a preferred doctor, but how is access for folks who further out that don't do that--do the community hospitals have pretty much everything necessary for something like this?Shanked Punt said:

Hope our internet infrastructure is up to the challenge of everyone working from home, kids gaming all day, and folks streaming shows non stop.

We live in Lago Vista where deer roam the streets and yards freely since hunting is not allowed in the city limits. But if things get too bad, a deer or two might accidentally fall on my bullet.

Hell, I'll continue to mock you. The stores and restaurants aren't closing. Anything outside of your normal inventory is just silly.
Especially if you "stocked up" with perishable goods.

Italy also has an older population and higher smoking population
Not the Temple, TX HEB at 5pm today. They also had cases of water. Not sure about TP. I found that at the dollar general.

Of course not perishables. Mock all you want but while others are waiting in hours long lines and finding empty shelves, my cupboards are full. And it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Meh, if you're hoarding something that somebody needs bad enough, they'll just take it. These 450 lb 70 year old preppers amaze me with their assumption that they're both immortal and able to deploy an arsenal at will to protect their store of Libby potted meat food.

This was my thought. Anything people are grabbing in the meat isle is most likely freezeable and non perishable. Sushi isn't going to last longer than a day or so
