Oxbow6 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Let's play over/under...…….Dougie caves and shutters everything in ND by 5 pm Friday. I'll say under.....well before then. Went to get donuts for the staff this morning. All now individually packaged. First guy I see in the store...….70+ male with a mask and latex gloves on. Not joking. Glad he got the memo. SMH.

Popular Post petey23 Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 If they let the media ask just one question after the daily press conference and it had to sum up what the reporters are looking for in addition to their TV time. "Mr. President, we are trying to stoke fear and panic in America, is there anything you could say that will help us achieve this and if not, maybe you could give us a long statement that we could possibly edit and take out of context in order to reach the same goal? In all seriousness if they can't act like functioning adults they should just make them write down their questions and hand them in. The members of the team could then answer them according to their area of expertise. They could also maybe post online the questions and who asked them that were too stupid to even warrant a response. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will we as ND residents finally catch up and realize this is serious? We have been almost unscathed so far and hopefully we can preserve. Lets all remember the Democratic front-runner recently stated he would not have banned travel from China and its xenophobic/racist to call it the Wuhan Virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say under.....well before then. It's sure trending that way. I'll take the under, which is probably bet down to -240 by now. May need to adjust the line to Thursday 5:00 p.m. What's the action if I parlay that with school being done for the year and taking the under 1m deaths?

Been stuck under a rock I take it? it was a matter of days ago that trump said this is nothing to worry about. Now he is recommending to not gather in groups larger than 10 and to stay home. It was also a few days ago that Fox News was defending trump’s stance and making jokes about social distancing. Now they are admitting they were wrong and practicing social distancing themselves. Do we start start taking this seriously finally? Have a good day everyone and please stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good leaders know enough to not stoke panic and fear. Would you rather he announced the apocalypse was imminent? You should get your remote control fixed. There are plenty of clips out there of CNN, MSNBC, etc. reporters making fun of both the social distancing plan and also making fun of Trump’s China travel ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky approved for pharmacists to authorize up to an additional 30 day supply of "critical maintenance medications" for established patients on established medications until the end of the 'crisis'. I'm not sure how much time per day that would save outpatient LIP offices on refill requests. NY is working to authorize pharmacies to do flu swabs so patients don't have to visit their PCP or an urgent care in order to rule out. Almost every private insurer has waived member liability for testing, removed early refill edits or allowed overrides for early refills- in some cases 90 days, and extended existing prior authorizations for additional months. Healthcare system is doing the right things. Volume is currently manageable from what I’m seeing. Stats being reported in this country are also promising from rate of new infection and certainly deaths. Each hour brings more info, and we aren’t out of the woods yet, but we seem to be managing on the health side...economically we have a much different story. I bought a handle of Crown yesterday- just in case they close booze sales...Bay area under lockdown...LA still open for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
