Talking about people being creative during these times and using resources in the best possible way, I think the above makes a lot of sense to me.
If you?re referring to the McDs app, you can order, use the coupons/deals and pay all in the app. So all you have to do is pick up the food. No giving them your credit card or phone, just tell them your order number.

I believe California is looking to bring out of state and retired health care workers into the work pool. Hospitals are also looking to supplement their hardest hit departments (i.e. ICU, ER, etc...) with other specialists as back up for patient surges.
If you are non medical, there are still ways to help:
1) Please donate any extra PPE (personal protective equipment... i.e. n95 masks etc...) to you local hospital
2) Consider donating blood (there is a national shortage)
3) Please follow the public health guidelines and stay home
But all the news says the ventilators are the most needed and complicated to make. I don't think it's possible to ramp up these devices as quickly as they are needed.
Not only we short supplies and not testing enough like Korean do, our President is going against expert medical advice and will reopen for business.
Maybe if we all infected then there is no need to worry about testing. Is that what he thinking?
I guess he?s counting on the cure medicine also. Many businesses being closed down is also something you have to worry about. Protecting both elders? (and everyone?s) health and businesses? prosperity are important. It?s almost you have to pick one and loose the other.
I heard about this on the radio. As I've said before, logistics/scale/population/culture/etc make it difficult to use the same tactics in every country.
This reminds me of a scene in World War Z where the CIA guy was telling Brad Pitt how North Korea stopped the zombies from spreading... they pulled the teeth of every single citizen in North Korea in a span of 24-48 hours.
the reality is that many, many more people have been infected and recovered, but will not ever be tested, so the mortality rate being peddled is going to be sensationalized because it's "so much higher than any other flu" despite not knowing the true number of folks that have been infected.

This was written from a Korean pastor in New York. I think the problem with us Americans is that we are too independent and do not submit to authority like the South Koreans. Californians should not be heading to the beach during times like this. In Korea, grocery stores will not let you in without a mask on. I told you guys to buy the masks, couple of you guys made a joke out of it. This is nothing to joke about. If you look at the doctors in Korea, they look like astronauts. Have you seen how much protection the American doctors have compared to the Koreans? Martin.. in times like these, you and I should be grateful that we are real estate agents and not doctors.
"I was just informed by my wife that her coworker's cousin, who was only 41 years old and lived in NY, just died an hour ago from the coronavirus. He went to the hospital on March 14th, and was sent home. When he returned back to the hospital on March 17th, he developed pneumonia and eventually went into kidney failure and died today.
Please don't think that this only affects the elderly. This virus has no bias against age, gender, race, status, or religion. Please be cautious and stay at home. Praying for all those working on the frontlines during this time!"

LA County decrees that gun stores are "not essential" so they must close to comply with Wuhan Virus restrictions. Just to make sure gun stores get the message, sheriff deputies will fan out to gun stores across the county to make sure all gun stores are closed.
https://abc7.com/6045568/
The fact that so many people are flocking to gun stores lately would seem to me that gun stores are essential at times like this. But what do I know.

We Americans need to learn from the South Koreans.
This is how South Korea flattened its coronavirus curve. Check out the video guys.

A sobering stat: A week ago to day there were fewer than 1000 cases in the US. Today there are over 50000. 50x growth in 2 weeks. I'm sure we can all do the math.
We will very soon see if our lockdowns are having an effect if we focus on state data. Overall #s will be driven by spreading in places where this is just a hoax.

Here is a great real time link on the corona virus cases for you guys to see. U.S. will soon surpass Italy.

I think if you treat every state like its own country with its own numbers and curve, that will be a good comparison to Europe. Although we have less control over our state borders than Euro countries.
A child under 18 has died from the coronavirus in California, Los Angeles County health officials announced Tuesday.
"Tragically, one of the people who died was a person under the age of 18, a devastating reminder that COVID-19 infects people of all ages," Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the County of Los Angeles Public Health Department, said at a news briefing.

I just heard this on KFI640 about an Oxford study that tempers the Imperial College study that put us all in lockdown:
