Store update:
Mrs. Meanie when shopping again this morning. It's her way of dealing with stress, I suppose.
There was a line at the Sam's Club - they're limiting the amount of people in the store at one time to help maintain social distance.
No line at the Walmart. Walmart had chicken, ground beef, eggs, and most of the stuff that was out of stock on Monday.
Still no syrup though. What is the deal with people and Mrs. Butterworth's?

Likely going to head back to town the next couple of days as my daughters butane torch ran out of butane and the creme brûlée's are just not the same when the sugar is carmelized via Bic lighter.
On the other hand the realization that I likely won't have this track season with my oldest and her two younger twin sisters has been pretty unsettling we have a good shot to win it all if the season isn't completely cancelled.Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

The coronavirus is devastating Bergamo and pushing a wealthy region with high-tech health care toward a humanitarian disaster, a warning for the U.S. and other developed countries. The city’s experience shows how even advanced economies and state-of-the-art hospitals must change social behaviors and prepare defenses ahead of a pandemic that is upending the rules.In normal times, the ambulance service at the Papa Giovanni hospital runs like a Swiss clock. Calls to 112, Europe’s equivalent of 911, are answered within 15 to 20 seconds. Ambulances from the hospital’s fleet of more than 200 are dispatched within 60 to 90 seconds. Two helicopters stand by at all times. Patients usually reach an operating room within 30 minutes, said Angelo Giupponi, who runs the emergency response operation: “We are fast, in peacetime.”
Now, people wait an hour on the phone to report heart attacks, Dr. Giupponi said, because all the lines are busy. Each day, his team fields 2,500 calls and brings 1,500 people to the hospital. “That’s not counting those the first responders visit but tell to stay home and call again if their condition worsens,” he said.“Until three weeks ago, we did everything for every patient. Now we have to choose which patients to put in intensive care. This is catastrophic,” said anesthesiologist and intensive-care specialist Mirco Nacoti."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

If someone tests false-negative, that would be a problem but not more of a problem than we have now- with no testing.
You need to be absolutely careful flooding the market with a test with relatively high false positives or false negatives. Think of how many people would be put in quarantine needlessly, and how that would further impact the economy and health care system. In this instance, I think the FDA is working well."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

“The most devastating part is that they are dying alone,” she said. “Families see the patient for the last time at the emergency room. The next time is at the mortuary.”
Such a lonely death is hard to take, the nurse said: “It’s not our culture. We’re very connected here.”"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Amongst other things of course.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
