A top disaster preparedness expert rang the alarm Friday that the federal government and local health authorities are not prepared to deal with a spike in COVID-19 cases as the pandemic spreads throughout the United States.
But…but…what about the hoax???
From this point, Cartter said, people with flu-like symptoms, certainly in the southwestern part of the state, should assume they may have COVID-19 and act accordingly.
There’s no reason to worry. We’re operating under the bold and decisive leadership of President Trump. Every angle has been examined and every alternative has been considered!
…always look on the bright side of life…

Preparedness? We don’t need no stinkin’ preparedness.
“The stockpile is there and we hope that it is adequate,” Verma told CNN.
Thank goodness for the National Ventilator Stockpile.
I read something that a high ranking health official in Ohio is estimating that 100,000 Ohian’s are ALREADY infected. Fun times ahead. folks.
I’m in Liberty University country in VA on business.

Related if a bit OT: am currently on the Canary Islands, heading home to Germany tomorrow.
Just found out that all of the harbors on the islands here were closed down at midnight last night. Also German news is reporting that all pubs and clubs in Berlin are closing down.
Our flight home appears to be on time, but we were in town this afternoon and things are quite empty. Most restaurants here during siesta time (when the shops close and everyone goes to eat) are pretty much empty at the moment. Quite a contrast to a week or so ago.
ETA: justread in the Guardian that the Spanish government (Canaries belongs to Spain) is going to activate some clause in their constitution to restrict movement of people and vehicles tomorrow. Our flight is tomorrow. Now on tenterhooks as to whether we can fly out or not…
