Italy's fleet of the dead: Military trucks transport scores of coronavirus victims' coffins to be cremated as footage from one hospital shows infected patients lining the corridors

Untitled.png

The column of army trucks brought the dead out of Bergamo last night in what Italians have called 'one of the saddest photos in the history of our country' (the trucks are seen left and top right). The cemetery in Bergamo can no longer cope with the mounting death toll in the city, where more than 4,300 people have been infected and at least 93 have died. Mortuaries are full and crematorium staff have been handling 24 bodies a day, including the regular drumbeat of non-virus deaths, meaning the bodies of virus victims have had to be dispatched to neighbouring provinces (pictured bottom right, coffins laid out in the crematorium church). The pews of the crematorium church have been removed to leave space to lay out scores of coffins but more have been arriving every day.

One of the big problems now is that people are posting total BS statements online without any truthful backup. It is bad enough reading negative posts time after time. I can get information from the main new agencies. I don’t wish to read nonsense that China is starting to get things under control. Common sense would tell you that is completely false.

Kindly refrain from issuing statements unless you are 100% sure of what you are stating.

I have no words to express how this makes me feel, But I had the need to say something, Sorrow and fear and the realization of how truly real this pandemic is

You know I liked many things the President has done to build back up America's economic strength and growth, but now I am extremely disappointed in his actions over this pandemic...Piecemeal actions and dragging out the inevitable need to shut down the country for a few weeks is endangering countless lives and ruining this country...We must shut down everything non-essential across the country immediately, we should have done this weeks ago, we are going to have millions of deaths in the coming weeks and months if drastic action isn't done asap...

My mother is extremely upset that I'm still going to work and upset factories and businesses are still open in our area, the virus is all around us now, three are confirmed cases just 20 miles away from my home and where I work...I can only do about 30 percent of my work from home, the rest I need to be at the facility, I've had talks with the owner of the company, he said when there are confirmed cases in our County he will shut down the plant, but not before...Ugh

I fully agree. My largest worry right now is my wife is still going to work every day, In more gentle times having everything shut down would be the thing to fear. But It's past time. Now people are risking their lives, Their families lives just because Trump is dragging his feet on taking the actions necessary here. I've been juggling numbers for days, 385.000.000 people in the U.S. 65.000.000 in Italy. I don't want to imagine if things turn out as badly for us as it had Italy. But that's a real possibility. It feels like Trump is so proud of his Economy he doesn't want to admit it's time to Quarenteen the nation :(

It's also on each State to do their part and step up, we are a Republic, the States do not need to wait until the federal government does something first...

California governor Gavin Newsom issues statewide 'Stay At Home' order for 40 million people with NO END DATE - after warning 26 million WILL catch coronavirus in next eight weeks

California's governor on Thursday issued a statewide 'stay at home order' directing residents to leave their homes only when necessary during the coronavirus pandemic as state officials predict that more than 25 million residents will be infected with COVID-19 within the next eight weeks. It's unclear how long the 'stay at home order' will last and Gov Gavin Newsom said during a Thursday night press conference that he wasn't able to put a time period on it. Just before the press conference, Newsom released a copy of a letter that he sent to Donald Trump in which he asked the president to send help 'immediately'. 'I respectfully request you immediately deploy the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to be stationed at the port of Los Angeles through September 1, 2020, to help decompress our current health care delivery system in the Los Angeles region in response to the COVID-19 outbreak,' Newsom's letter reads. Newsom said officials project that roughly '56 per cent of our population - 25.5 million people - will be infected with the virus over an eight-week period'. Earlier this week, Trump did say that the Navy hospital ships Mercy and Comfort would be pressed into service, one on each coast, as healthcare systems become badly strained during the pandemic.

That's True, There is very sparse News from Beshear on this whole Ordeal here in Kentucky. According to the charts, there are only fifty cases here, but with the lack of tests available, If there are fifty, There are five hundred :(

Gov. Andrew Cuomo issues 'most drastic' order yet for ALL non-essential workers to stay home after 3,000 new coronavirus cases are confirmed - bringing total to 7,102 in the state of New York


New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered all non-essential workers to stay home now in the most drastic step he has taken in the battle against coronavirus. In an announcement on Friday, he increased the previous rule that 75 percent of the state's workforce had to stay home to 100 percent. The only workforces that are excluded are grocery stores, pharmacies, certain government workers and news organizations. People will be allowed to go outside to exercise but he urged solitary activities like running or walking. There will not be limits on the hours people can leave their homes, but Cuomo is urging people to stay indoors as much as possible. 'Everybody has personal freedom and I'll always protect that. But everybody also has a responsibility,' he said.

There are now 7,102 cases in New York State. There are 1,939 new cases in New York City since yesterday, bringing the total to 4,408. The total increase in just one day in New York state is 2,950. The hospitalization rate is 18 percent. Cuomo said the state was now testing more than had been done in China and South Korea. On Thursday night, 10,000 tests were done. Cuomo's announcement came after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city was now the 'epicenter' of the coronavirus outbreak in the US with more than 4,000 confirmed cases and 26 deaths as he pleaded with the federal government to give him help before hospitals become overwhelmed.

You ain't kidding.

I wonder what will be considered essential? Home Depot & Lowes? People still need hot water heaters, stuff like that.

Making a beer run.
From NY Times, specific to New York:

Essential businesses that can remain open include: grocers and restaurants, health care providers, pharmacies, gas stations, convenience stores, banks, hardware stores, laundromats and cleaners, child-care providers, auto repair, utilities, warehouses and distributors, plumbers and other skilled contractors, animal-care providers, transportation providers, construction companies and many kinds of manufacturers.

A little panicky around the edges at the supermarket but I got beer and cookies and am ready for The Plague.
Seriously, nobody's touching Corona beer. Uh huh.

Thought this about said it all
