Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but...

If you are on prescription medication and get it from Canada,  make sure you have more than enough on hand and get refills ASAP if you don't.   

Reason I mention this:  A friend of mine gets a medication from a Canadian pharmacy supply company.  She waited too long and her shipment has been delayed.  So she's down o her last few pills and now she's scrambling trying to get a supply of this med here in the states.  The drugs provided by these supply companies may or may not come from Canada, but rather from other countries where there may be a problem in the supply chain, particularly if that country has been hard hit with this virus.

I noticed that the Canadian pharmacy company I use is not all that restrictive about refills as pharmacies are in the states.  For example, I get a 100 day supply of a med which I take once a day.  But unlike in the US, I can get a refill after 30 days.  Never had a problem.  So even if you think you have plenty on hand, put in your refill order as early as you can so you don't nun out.

That is all.

I'll add that the guidelines for prescribing medications were altered in one of the Trump EOs, to allow Doctors to prescribe the extra refills.

I only recently became aware of a 2011 film named "Contagion":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contagion_(2011_film)

It can easily be "scrounged up on the net" if you know what to do.
Search for "torrent contagion 2011 1080p" and you should get the good hits.
(but then again, this ol' Mac wizard can get just about anything there is to be gotten...)

I watched it last night
It is VERY relevant to the situation that is happening in real life right now.
Life is imitating art...

If you have time, check out Steven King's The Stand series.  It is broken up into four 2-hr segments.  It stars Molly Ringwald, Gary Sinise, Ray Walston, Rob Lowe, Adam Storke, Ossie Davis, Jamey Sheridan, Miguel Ferrer, etc.

It doesn't as much deal with the virus itself, but the aftermath.  Classic struggle between good and evil.  For entertainment purposes only.  Not to be taken seriously.

Coronavirus World Map - kind of interesting
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

You could do this same map about just about anything, colds, flu, gonorrhea, herpes,...anything.
It is a national/global thing for real, I am just not buying into it in the way some people are.
BTW ... toilet paper does not cure covid-19. Call me a skeptic.

NEW: The first 62 U.S. coronavirus deaths by state and age
March 15, 2020 by Sharyl Attkisson

Note: the numbers change quickly. These figures are current as of March 15, 2020. Visit CDC.gov for the latest government information.

   * 65% of U.S. deaths were in Washington State
   * 27 of total 62 U.S. deaths occurred at the same Washington State nursing home

More at Sharyl Attkisson.com

Isn't that something? Nearly 44% of the deaths so far are in one nursing home.

Coronavirus: Doctor who heads emergency preparedness at Paterson hospital tests positive
Terrence T. McDonald, NorthJersey.com


The doctor in charge of emergency preparedness at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Paterson has tested positive for coronavirus and is in critical condition.



Dr. James Pruden, a Teaneck resident and a beloved fixture at St. Joseph's since 1982, was admitted to the hospital on March 6 with upper respiratory problems and cold-like symptoms and remains in isolation in its intensive care unit, according to St. Joseph’s Health President Kevin Slavin.

Pruden, 70, spoke to NorthJersey.com just last week about the hospital's preparation for coronavirus cases, saying St. Joseph's staff is "well-trained to use all of the tools and techniques to effectively manage potential cases." Pruden helped lead the hospital through a swine flu outbreak in 2009 and prepared it for an Ebola scare in 2014.

In Venezuela, with their totally collapsed healthcare system, sometimes people take to twitter to find a drug. We can hope it doesn't get that bad.

Also, as I've already heard, truckers are being able to expand their regulatory delivery hours, if others are not working, truckers may be delivering goods, it's frightening to think of almost, there are real necessities in medicines and the like aside from the talk on lysol and so on.
