Explains this...
Now over three thousand cases in Spain and their death toll has doubled. The king and queen, as well as the entire cabinet, has been tested.
My ancestral home also. I am around 80% - 90% Norwegian. Glad to see that they are testing and taking it seriously.Norway (My Motherland) Not [messing] around...
Norway Announces ‘Extensive’ Coronavirus Lockdown For Entire Country
Norway puts the entire country on lockdown in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the deadly respiratory illness it causes, a pandemic and now world leaders are taking serious measures...www.yahoo.com
Not EU, pretty much as isolationist as one can get. (Not to be confused with Sweden... Norway is strict with visitors...)
Ever read the, "So, you want to visit Norway...?" tourist brochures and travel magazines?My ancestral home also. I am around 80% - 90% Norwegian. Glad to see that they are testing and taking it seriously.
All that any town or country can do at this point is to try to slow the impact on the health care facilities. There is no way to stop the virus from spreading, we can only slow it down.
If he can put in a travel ban for moving out of California, and make it permanent...haha
I've been thinking about this. Hunkering down at home for me (an introvert) is really no big deal because it's mostly my normal state. The only real difference is that instead of hitting the supermarket once a week -- which I don't enjoy anyway -- I won't have to go for at least a couple months having stocked up pretty well in the last week or so. A chest freezer sure helps in that regard. I feel like I'm going to become an actual food prepper after this. I wish I already was.
Bolus, most likely hospitals will have armed guards, even National Guard if it comes to that. Not a lot of people are going to risk killing themselves by engaging the military (and their relatives, potentially) to save their relative. I don't doubt the scenario can get chaotic though.One this we need to think about now is when rationing of healthcare starts here. In Italy the doctors are having to decide who lives and dies because they dont have enough ventilators for all the patients. The older, unhealthier patients are dying so the younger healthier patients can get treated. In war, we send soldiers to capture a hill knowing very well that many of them will die because that hill is more important than any of them.
We have to accept that this is going to happen here and the last thing we need is people pulling out firearms and threatening their doctors to put their loved ones on a ventilator. It wont work.
Countries who are not testing widely have the highest death rates because their health systems are being overwhelmed. We are among the worst for testing so our mortality rate is going to definitely be up there.
There will soon be a war in those hospitals where doctors are going to let people die without treatment because they dont have a choice. There are no rules to this and none of us plan to do it at all.
But it will help no one if someone pulls out a firearm to try and save their loved one. If it happens enough, I dont see even the second amendment surviving.
Yes, the physicians at the front lines are worrying about this now and that is why Im saying it here.
Uuf Da! Another Swede with his brains knocked out!My ancestral home also. I am around 80% - 90% Norwegian. Glad to see that they are testing and taking it seriously.
