You don’t go out there talking shite if you’re part of the national response team. You are a united front and say things like “we could have done better” instead of “We said so and they didn’t listen”
People are taking the quote out of context. If you listen to the ENTIRE interview, he also said there were reasons not to lock the country down at that point.

So he told the president to issue orders to social distance beginning of February and then he goes out on national tv weeks later saying the exact opposite?
I'm not sure why you're having a hard time with this.
The two aren't mutually exclusive ideas.
True, well except they 100% are.

I dont know what this was in reference to but where I work we had 23 positive cases last week, 5 negatives, and 1 death.
It's the situation at the home where I do consulting. After the original positive test, they tested everyone who was on her hall.

Typical OT thread that starts with useful info then devolves into arguments that give little useful information.

I applied for my PPP loan on 4-3 and it was in my account on 4-6. Some of ya'll need to change bankers if yours is taking this long.
I wasn't going to do it, submitted it and noticed a mistake and had it deleted and resubmitted on 4/10....my banker acted as if it was more of a formality after going over my application. Our revenue has grown tremendously, but so have our expenses....and no one is paying us right now

Yes, in context the interview wasn’t bad. He is just a damn weasel with no backbone. He won’t commit to anything. He cannot give a straight response. I bet he has been hell to deal with.
All he really said was yes if we locked down earlier that would have been good but everyone knows that.

U.S. ‘Perilously Close’ to Meat Shortage After Major Plant Closes Over Coronavirus
quote:
The world’s biggest pork producer is shuttering a major U.S. plant indefinitely after a coronavirus outbreak among employees, with the company warning that closures across the country are taking American meat supplies “perilously close to the edge” of shortfalls.
quote:
“The closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry, is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply,” Smithfield’s Chief Executive Officer Ken Sullivan said in the statement. “It is impossible to keep our grocery stores stocked if our plants are not running.”
quote:
While it’s unclear whether the meat-employee infections have anything to do with the workplaces, the news exposes the vulnerability of global supply chains that are needed to keep grocers stocked after panic buying left shelves empty. The shuttered plants and sick workers are adding to other disruptions caused by the virus that’s making it harder for food to get from farm to table. Trucking bottlenecks, and snarled port traffic have also contributed to why shoppers are seeing empty shelves.
quote:
Some companies also had to slow down plants that are set up to supply restaurants, instead of supermarkets. Sanderson Farms Inc., the U.S.’s third-largest chicken processor, said earlier this month that it would run plants that process big birds for the food-services industry “well below capacity,” according to CEO Joe Sanderson.

Does it make me a terrible person to say that during this pandemic, "essential workers" like cashiers, grocery store stockers, and fast food employees are being almost as insufferable as teachers/nurses?
Also, given that the pandemic is resulting in some hospitals literally laying off workers because of a lack of activity, why can't some of the Covid patients in high volumn areas be moved to those hospitals?

The ones that are hemorrhaging money are the small town hospitals.
The ones that serve a smaller purpose as an emergency center and for basic care.
Those are the ones that are going to be destroyed by this, not the critical care hospitals or large city hospitals.

Those jobs already suck b/c of the customers treating them like shite. It's gone to 11 now. So yes you do sound like you are potentially the kind of a-hole who is needlessly rude to people working low paying jobs.

The people who are getting fired are mostly the ones who specialize in elective medicine. The ones who aren't tend to be getting let go by hospitals run by investment companies that don't give a flying frick about the populace's healthcare and only care about their investment returns. Since elective surgeries are down they are going to lay off people regardless of how many CV patients are in their hospitals. If you ever watched House the character of Eric Vogler is essentially the kind of person making those calls on the firings.

no reasonable hospital admin is going to let their hospital take covid patients from a different community and risk not having room for the patients they are actually responsible for incase an outbreak happens

Any job that deals with the public results in the employee getting treated like shite eventually. It's not unique to low paying jobs.
