In case anyone is interested - even if you don't live in Michigan - here's a link for live stream of Governor Whitmer's news conference at 11:00AM (Eastern). I think our state is on the verge of "stay at home" order.

WATCH LIVE: Michigan Gov. Whitmer to provide update on state’s COVID-19 response efforts

11 am will also be the time that
1) Trudeau and federal ministers address Canadians
2) WHO Presser

I'll post links for both around 10:45 am eastern

Awaiting Governor Whitmer's press conference scheduled for 11:00. DH has been saying for a couple of days that he thinks Michigan is on a shortlist of states that will close down soon. I hope you and your family stay well. My prayers are with your expectant daughter for a safe and healthy delivery.

Oops! I thought I was quoting a post by Yesiamapirate. Sorry. Thread moves so quickly; it's a challenge to keep up. She lives in metro Detroit.

Things are rapidly evolving here in MI. Thank you for thinking of my daughter. The whole family self quarantined for the last several days. A little over two weeks to go. If she is showing signs they will induce next week. She is scared and sad .

I believe the bill the House passed indicated hospital care for diagnosed patients that insurance doesn’t cover would be covered by the government. Which means those of us without insurance it would cover all. Not sure once it gets through the senate but the federal government knows many won’t be able to pay for it. Please let her know not to worry about that and if she has chest pressure like being sat on by a cat, or difficulty breathing she should immediately get medical care because respiratory distress can come on quickly

I was just thinking last night... I have Obamacare and option of only one local hospital for coverage in my area. So if that hospital overflows to another with someone like myself getting such - do the new items that are coming out cover such and no longer would be "out of network"? As insurance "would" cover it, but at a much higher out of pocket...? Or would government pick up what insurance didn't cover?

You are most welcome. Sorry about my earlier post. I thought I was quoting your post about the presser. I can't keep up with this fast-paced thread, and somehow I ended up with double posts that rarely happens for me.

The Virus Can Be Stopped, but Only With Harsh Steps, Experts Say

If it were possible to wave a magic wand and make all Americans freeze in place for 14 days while sitting six feet apart, epidemiologists say, the whole epidemic would sputter to a halt.

NORTH CAROLINA

North Carolina recently temporarily suspended its certificate of need laws, which means hospitals won’t need state permission to add beds. While this was a good call, but the best time to do this is LONG before a pandemic. Small Regulatory Reforms That Can Help People During the COVID Pandemic - R Street
