I’ve been in my house for 5 days as related to some issues. I m still online with my acute care facility to ensure everything is running smoothly, but never before has the medical world been as burdened and over-whelmed regionally and nationally as currently. Never has our supply chain been as challenged to supply such common everyday products, not to mention the medical supplies that are running short. Never has the work force been shifted so dramatically and so quickly. Everything from service facilities (restaurant etc....) to educational institutions have been mandated to close. The next step for the US will be as France, Italy, Israel, and South Korea have done —- confined to home and Marshal law to enforce this. As I said with Whit’s first posting, this is far from over. Once it appears to be “controlled” - a new level will be introduced - it is being used to open the door for the global community. Thanking the Lord, we do not have the Spirit of fear, but of a sound mind...God is getting ready to call the Bride home, I agree with Todd, Johanna, and Dave — we may not have seen it coming this way, but it’s here and we can certainly get very excited, it is if not the final end time sign to see before our departure :flyup: :flyup: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: I’m surprised to hear that the medical field doesn’t have enough supplies on hand because the average citizen doesn’t have access to their supplies to purchase. Unless are A LOT of people filling up the E.R rooms in a panic and just wanting to get tested or are they actually truly sick and need meds? :unsure: I’ve been observing this for the past few days ... not too many UPS and Fed Ex drivers on the road. On an average day I used to faithfully see up to 10 different delivery trucks making their rounds in town and/or in the neighborhoods and now I only see 1 or 2 trucks. So I wonder if they scaled back the drivers and this is keeping the supplies backed up from reaching the medical field and/or stores? Geri, To answer your query, YES — the EDs are filled with people in a panic, demanding to be tested. I have had to advise staff to call the police if they are threatened, it’s that crazy in the EDs across the country. One of my ED directors called me, again last night about a potential threat, I emphasized, call PD, I support you in that. Hospital systems have “pulled” supplies to protect them from the public stealing them. We have to have them for our staff. The supply chain is at around 65% secure, that is fragile at best, so thankful for the president taking the action he did to secure the supply chain for hospital supplies and medications. This craziness is so multilevel and underhanded for the “deep state”, “one world”, globalist, etc.... most of the medical world is like “what in the world” disbelief, this is such a minor illness for most folks under 70 without any additional comorbidities. Watch, once we hit a semi calm, another level of upheaval WILL occur. I seriously believe, we are on the last leg of our journey or wait and trumpets are at any moment. This can’t just go away like we see with a hurricane, tornado, or terror event. There is no going back to a normalcy, we the people have gone from freedom to government control. pray, for a spring wedding! :prayer-hands: :flyup: Wow Tammie ... thanks for the update. Never a dull moment at work for you! I wonder if some workers are secretly stealing some of the supplies? I worked for a little while at a pharmaceutical company called Novartis. They had gates around their grounds with guard houses at the entrances and there was numerous lock downs especially when it came time for lunch and I couldn’t meet my friends at a local pizza parlor because they closed the gates and the guards were searching everyone for the culprit. It got annoying so I resign there ... I felt like I was in a prison. What are your thoughts about the drug that cures malaria ... theory is out that might cure the coronavirus. If so, at least there won’t be a long time span wasted in testing ... perhaps life will go back to “norm” quickly so they can say “peace and security” at last and then .... :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Interesting how John Hopkins University has released the figures on how many people have supposedly been infected. John Hopkins University hosted Event 201. Event 201 is a pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated the pandemic preparedness efforts needed to diminish the large-scale economic and societal consequences of a severe pandemic. Drawing from actual events, Event 201 identifies important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention. These issues were designed in a narrative to engage and educate the participants and the audience. Coincidence is not a kosher word.
