Yes and the deaths will lag behind if I understand right.

How the hell would he even be able to provide/find staffing for that many vent patients?

I realize that this is serious but I’m not buying this vent aspect of it.

JBE is going to sell them on EBay to balance the budget.

I don't know why, but there was not one person in line to get tested at BR General on Florida Blvd yesterday.

JBE hinting he may extend past april 13 stay at home order


He is 100% going to extend the stay at home order past April 13th. I'm hearing June 6th or 13th are the dates they are fighting over right now.

There has got to be some kind of disaster fund tied to the amount of equipment/personnel requested.

Didn't Edwards announce his "stay at home" order last Sunday, to go into effect at 5:00pm on Monday? LaToya announced her order at 5:00pm on Friday the 22nd. I can't remember when it went into effect.

My point is, I think it's only been ONE week. Or maybe I've just really lost track of time ... and that's a very real possibility.

Does anyone know if JBE has a family member or major supporter who is in the medical equipment re-sell business??

All of these governors begging for Vents are doing so with one goal in mind:

Ask for way more than is needed and realistically supplied so that when things go South, you can blame the feds for your incompetence and the consequences of your poor leadership.

In the end, people are covering their own asses instead of helping to save their people's asses from dying.
