Yes I found the political stuff a bit distracting also. But public health
is inherently political and this will become a huge campaign issue.

I have not heard any other first hand accounts out of Italy. They get high
marks for the coverage at least.

Re: [MBZ] OT Keep Calm and Carry On (Mexican beer virus)

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

There is a local couple here on the Island who are a band called Shovels and 
Rope. They were doing a European tour, I saw the woman at the library a few 
weeks ago, she said they were going to be gone until sometime in April. They 
are really sweet kids so I was happy for their success and exposure there. 

Talking to a friend yesterday who plays with her in another band a bunch of 
women have, she said they had to come back last week and cancel the rest of the 
tour which was going to Italy and wherever else. They had been in UK, France, 
and Germany and maybe a coupla other countries. 

This involves the loss of several hundred thousands $$$ in revenues and such 
and a big hit to them on their income, and that of the whole circus associated 
with their tour and business. I guess they’ll be OK but it is Not Fun for them. 

They put on a big festival here every year in late April, I hope that doesn’t 
get canceled as it is always a wonderful event, great bands and nice crowd. 
I’ll see her Saturday evening at another little show here, will get the latest 
word.

Since my knee surgery, every dental appointment requires me to premedicate

This scenario has highlighted our (US) over-dependence on medical
supplies (like drugs) from China. When I was in the military
procurement business, we had to source everything for critical systems
from the US or other non-interruptible sources. IMO, we need similar
policies for critical medical supplies.

Here's a nice piece from a Canadian doctor and an Infectious Diseases
Specialist that has been at this for more than 20 years.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/03/an_infectious_disease_doctor_has_a_message_about_the_real_epidemic_out_there.html

"I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a
novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to 
find

new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of
those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to
suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge.
But I am not scared of Covid-19.

What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has
induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic,
stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter
adequately in a post-apocalyptic world."
