New issue starting to grow... crematoriums and funeral homes are very hesitant to take corpses... fearing the virus could spread within their facilities

Testing not completed as to whether the virus is 'dead' when the body expires

People should realize by now that nothing/nowhere is safe. Anything and anyone should be considered suspect and act accordingly.

Would've made for an interesting episode of Six Feet Under.

Again, we are all getting this virus. Personal safety is not the issue. No one is hiding from this virus. Hospital capacity is the issue, and right now, it's only an issue in one or two places in the US. In about 3-4 weeks time, the capacity issue will be resolved and we will return to society, and the new false narrative from people will be, "I'm safe now." No, you are still going to get it amigo!

It will resolve itself in a rolling fashion. It'll ease up in NYC as Chicago and Detroit get hit. It'll ease up there as Indianapolis and Columbus get hit. And we've yet to see the shitshow that happens when it rolls into rural areas that are grossly underserved per capita relative to major urban areas. Hopefully, the large cities that are on the downward curve by that time will step up and help.

Yeah, so again, we're all getting it brother. Rural america is not cut from the same cloth as the city slickers. They'll just show up in the morgues before they show up in the hospitals. Seriously. I don't see anything here that concurs with your sentiment on shortages either, other than the hot spots we already know about.

I found a nurse's first-hand perspective interesting. If you and the Hawaiian genius don't want to read it no one is fucking forcing you to do it.

The perspective of doctors and nurses are always going to be somewhat skewed because of the fact they see infected people on a far higher concentration than the general public does simply because the sick go to hospitals, you know, where doctors and nurses fucking work. I've had to Snooze one friend on FB because every fucking post she made--which were about 20 a day, non-fucking stop--was about social distancing, staying home, washing your hands. Guess where she works.

We all got the idea by now. The virus is dangerous. We need to take unprecedented steps to minimize the spread.

There are some online reports in rural Georgia of corpses re-animating as the viruses run rampant on human flesh.



But that is where they film The Walking Dead, so it's probably nothing.






And if you're still nervous, check the calendar.

Plus the fact that rural America is, well, rural. Because of this the virus has not, and will not, spread to anywhere near the degree it has in the cities. Spread out a rank of billiard balls on a pool table, shoot the cue ball in any random direction, and see how many are affected. Now, remove all but one or two balls and repeat.
