Having just eaten a large bowl of Quaker Grits, inquiring minds want to know.Ooh-er. Are they going to recall Quaker Oats? What will happen?

The number ONE question I have for all 50 governors, and WDC is what have each of you done with the BILLIONS of dollars the federal American taxpayers has given you EACH year to support your healthcare system, and emergency funds?
This is beyond what is collected from state, and local taxpayers. Each yearly state budget allocates funds for emergencies.
Yet it seems no state had any stockpile of their own consisting of medical PPEs.
Each governor knows at anytime they can have an catastrophic emergency that will require healthcare workers, hospitals, and a multitude of medical equipment, and supplies. Yet all seem to be so ill prepared themselves.
Now they all expect the federal government to work miracles providing everything for ALL 50 states.
I want to know what happened to all of the money already given each year to them by the federal government, and where all the money was spent that was supposed to be for an emergency fund on a state, and local level. In just a few short years it would be trillions of dollars given to the states.
It sure wasnt spent stockpiling needed supplies in cases of emergencies just like this pandemic.
Jmhoo
Well, the article does say there is no evidence of transmission through food or packaging, but I'm not so sure I would want to eat any of the products that are being made there in March.Ooh-er. Are they going to recall Quaker Oats? What will happen?
With us (the UK) first two weeks it was advice, then they closed the schools and everyone flooded the National Parks, so then they made it mandatory lockdown and if you are caught on a non essential trip, you get fined. We are allowed out once a day for exercise in place, but are not supposed to drive to somewhere to exercise.Sounds like the same policy they re-enacted in NJ/NY the other day. Nothing changed.
That's awesome! Be safe. Detroit exploded in numbers.
I have relatives who are minimally touched so far.... and they doubt both the virus itself and the 2T that has been approved. So hard for me to hear their lack of empathy for what so many of our fellow Americans are going through...... everyone should listen to Bill Gates has said... that this affects us ALL. This is the most ominous factual thing I have listened to yet.I could only "like" this post once - if I could I'd give it a hundred likes. All my immediate family is in VA, I'm 2 1/2 hours away from the largest cluster of family, across a state line. They have irresponsibly ignored all common sense and suggestions, stating repeatedly to me, " I wouldn't break the law" One sister, her husband and my other BIL all went shopping last week at Lowes to pick out cabinets, counters, appliances, etc for a kitchen remodel. The same sister sent me a picture a couple of hours ago of a lone wrapped roll of TP she had located after searching multiple stores, with the text "Doing my part". She didn't need this roll of TP - but she was out exposing herself and all others by doing so, while at same time taking away from someone that may actually need it. They have gone on with their lives as usual - this sister even told me last week, she thinks it's being exaggerated! Our mother is 85. My sister and her husband both have severe respiratory issues. Did I mention this sister is a retired RN? Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. I seriously fear I may lose this entire group of my family during this situation.
I think - I hope, my girls and their families appear to be more conscientious and practicing social distancing; if not, then at least they have enough sense to not tell me. Thankfully they are located outside this cluster of family.
Almost wish we could "deputize" lots of unemployed folks to be trackers... I know its probably a fantasy but it seems like it could be set up to be safe... no direct interaction or communication.. I would think that the "out of stater" has to provide a cell phone number on that form.
very interesting... There are actually a whole bunch more in Florida...many with crews, not passengers.
I’m in a TX city with a Stay Home/Work Safe order. It allows for outdoor exercise etc. This past Saturday, I went to my bank and saw a packed dog park and walking/biking trail head entrance.
The parking lots were packed and people were not following the 6 ft distance guidelines.
I can't believe my eyes, the pictures of these folks crowded together. I realize this is a special event to see the Comfort as it enters the harbour...but really. Where are the police?
Help at last: Navy hospital ship the USNS Comfort docks in New York harbor | Daily Mail Online
Crowds gathered to watch the USNS Comfort, a Navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds for patients, arriving in New York City to alleviate the strain on the city's hospitals as it continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic - despite being warned to stay at home.
On Monday, crowds gathered near Pier 90 to watch the Comfort arrive.

Last I heard, Rev Tony Spell, Life Tabernacle Church, continues to hold services. 300 - 1000 people. Hundreds at Louisiana Church Flout COVID-19 Gatherings BanYes, that also.
I'm not familar with other large groups who have encouraged assembling after social distancing became policy, however. Are there any besides the religious ones?

Looks like the Mercy is deploying to LA according to the article.And both named ships go all the way back to the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Not the same ships obviously, but their predecessors.
