WATCH: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Gives COVID-19 Update – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

More lenient in Texas...
"Religious services conducted in churches, congregations, and houses of worship are allowed"

HUGE MISTAKE.

Don’t they know what happened in S. Korea with the S. Daegu church cluster and others??? New Rochelle?

They’re/ we are going to pay for this mistake BIG, MOO.

Stupid.

Yes, he will have to reuse them, just like the healthcare workers. But he will take extra precautions putting them on and taking them off. Fortunately, he doesn’t go out every day, and we have a small stash of maybe 6-10 in our various go-bags. Better than nothing.

I'm sewing cloth masks with openings for placing N95s inside. Cloth masks can be laundered with bleach and reused. Also extends life of N95s hopefully. Donating them to hospice company.

I wish every major company could donate. I once worked for P & G, at Xmas they sent out huge gift boxes, with a sampling of every product. They can afford to do so, ya know?
Purina could mass mail coupons for one free bag of dog or cat food, if someone has no pets, get a bag for a neighbor or the pound. Moo

Companies with needed supplies cannot just donate this stuff? Is that not a tax write off?

Alabama and Massachusetts Are Handing the Addresses of People With Coronavirus Over to Police

Doesn't this violate HIPPA???

Maybe not, just addresses and no names.

Mass has been doing this for almost two weeks. Here's the official document:

Pentagon says it still hasn't sent ventilators because it hasn't been told where to send them - CNNPolitics

This is just so very sad and unnecessary.

As U.S. Hospitals Face Shortages, Trump Vows to Send Ventilators—to Europe
“As we outpace what we need, we’re going to be sending them to Italy, we’re going to be sending them to France, we’re going to be sending them to Spain, where they have tremendous problems, and other countries as we can,” Trump said. “But the fact that we’re doing so many so quickly is a tribute to our great companies.” The president also suggested that the shortage of personal protection equipment for U.S. health care workers was also on its way out, as he promised to send “approximately $100 million worth of things, of surgical and medical and hospital things to Italy. "

I think this article is deliberately misquoting what he said. Someone asked if we're making TOO MANY ventilators and he said if we did make more than we need, we could always send them to Europe. Once hospitals in the US are done with them, we can give them to other people.

Texas, one more state that will be a train wreck, like Florida. I KNOW that we are not getting the stats from Florida. It is going to be beyond a crisis there, one week.

Sorry to be so gloomy about Florida, but I know how many people there have fragile health.
The Villages, Broward county, Palm Beach county, Dade county, I bet that the average age is 65. If not higher. So many WW II veterans. They are in their 90's.

You have to use hand cream if you wash your hands often. Thankfully I got lots of different hand creams and use them all the time.

I started using Aquafor. It has the texture, odorless, & color of Vaseline. It comes in a tube and tub. My daughter is a nurse and uses it daily. I apply once in the morning and I’m usually good all day. Mom’s use it for diaper rash treatment.

God's waiting rooms may empty earlier than expected. Sad when so many have contributed so much.

If anyone is interested in what is going on in Iowa, I'm now posting in the individual Iowa thread.

Louisiana is not a resource-rich state and I hope the federal government can see its way clear to declaring it a disaster/emergency and getting FEMA to release supplies there.

Louisiana is hard hit for many reasons and we all know Mardi Gras is one of them. The jump in deaths is very very concerning. This is Tuesday - Sunday is not far away. Their increase in total cases was 30% (basically, exponential now) They're not testing everyone, of course.

Louisiana is my state and we are considered an epicenter just like NYC. Our governor is working extremely hard but Cuomo is loud and grabs the attention on national news. New Orleans is stacking up bodies too. Heartbreaking. We are starting to get supplies from private entities and some from the feds.

This is all getting to be too much. They tell us we don’t need masks and tell healthcare workers they do. Now we need masks. Of course!

Now we are running out of food and supplies.

And today I get the alert on my phone not to visit my relatives.

Yes I know it’s serious but I ask again, how did they manage to make it strike the whole world at once?

I have to get away from this awhile. Next they will tell me I can’t sit on my porch.

Michigan is still in front of Louisiana, almost catching up to California. Horrible to see such escalation.

I don't agree, because the manufacturers that have to retool are estimating 100 days. How can we promise to send ventilators all over Europe when our own citizens are dying without them? How can anyone estimate what surplus might exist in 100 days?

you think??

How long are they going to be considering it? I knew from the start we were being told to not wear masks because they were concerned about shortages, not because masks didn't work.

Nuttmeg, I found several on YouTube. After trying a few, I settled on this one
