As the number of infection cases rises, hospital beds will become scarce. It’s not because of any lack of funds for more hospitals or more wards. It's because, until 1 July 2019, Florida Law prevented the construction of new hospitals or wards except if you were favored by bureaucrats to have a document called a certificate of need. Government bureaucrats, backed by the long arm of the law, limited competition in health care much as they limit the number of liquor licenses and taxi medallions. In Virginia, a baby died after the hospital was refused a chance to add a neo-natal intensive care unit. Today would be a good day to tell “your” Florida state senator and state representative to repeal what still remains of this tyrannical state law, which would never have existed in a free country.
Photoshopped fake for the purpose of satire. Download full size. This is how Trump supporters picture their president.
“I think Tony would disagree with me ... [but] we have a pandemic, we have people dying now,” Trump said, adding that he’d recently spoken with FDA and been frustrated by the agency’s pace. “They indicated that we’ll start working on it right away. It could take a year,” the president said. “I said what do you mean a year? We have to have it tonight.” Donald Trump
Text from the biography of Anthony S. Fauci, M.D.
Dr. Fauci was appointed director of NIAID in 1984. (...)
Dr. Fauci has advised six presidents on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. He was one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved millions of lives throughout the developing world. (...)
In a 2019 analysis of Google Scholar citations, Dr. Fauci ranked as the 41st most highly cited researcher of all time. According to the Web of Science, he ranked 8th out of more than 2.2 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2019.
Dr. Fauci has delivered major lectures all over the world and is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest honor given to a civilian by the President of the United States), the National Medal of Science, the George M. Kober Medal of the Association of American Physicians, the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service, the Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research, the Robert Koch Gold Medal, the Prince Mahidol Award, and the Canada Gairdner Global Health Award. He also has received 45 honorary doctoral degrees from universities in the United States and abroad.
Dr. Fauci is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, as well as other professional societies including the American College of Physicians, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American Physicians, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Association of Immunologists, and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. He serves on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; as an editor of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine; and as author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,300 scientific publications, including several textbooks.
Listen to Dr. Fauci, not to Trump. If you are still a Trump supporter, now is the time to wake up and shut off your crazy switch. If you don’t like the Democrats, check out the other candidates. Don’t be surprised if the Republocrats in State legislatures prevent third parties from being named on the ballot. Campaign workers have to go around and collect signatures, which is illegal now.

The right way to teach health care
Right after high school graduation, you would move into a dormitory at the hospital, and mop floors to pay for your room, board and tuition. Once you get an entry-level job, such as nurse’s aide or emergency medical technician (EMT) you do that job to pay for your room, board and continued tuition.
There are already promotions built into the system, such as going from licensed practical nurse (L.P.N.) to registered nurse (R.N.) or from emergency medical technician (E.M.T.) to paramedic. Design the ladder all the way from mopping floors to doctor of medicine, optometry, dentistry or whatever.
Right now, many thousands of medical school students would be able to help take care of the coming wave of patients. Besides, the students would graduate medical school without a student loan.
Many a major league baseball player started in the minor leagues, living with a host family and riding a beat-up old bus.
Excuse for martial law
Always remember that the virus outbreak is no excuse for violating people’s rights.
China
Don’t let the coronavirus outbreak distract your attention away from the human rights violations that government officials in China are committing against the Uygher Muslims. Just a reminder.
The War on Walkers
Imagine finishing a 16-hour shift at the hand sanitizer factory, and as you are walking home, “starving,” you detour to the fast food place. The lobby is closed, but the drive-up window is still open. They refuse to serve you because you don’t have a car, and therefore you don’t matter. Expect more discrimination against walkers as restaurants offer take-out only. That’s what they get for trying to reduce their carbon footprint instead of supporting the auto and oil industries.
Persons who don’t matter
You can file on line for unemployment, but the library is closed. You can go later, but then it’s too late. The bureaucrats will send the $1,200 bonus to last year’s bank account. Many people closed out their bank account since then. You’ll be able to file on line, but the library is closed. Persons without internet just don’t matter to bureaucrats. Since post offices are still open, they could make a paper form available to mail in, but why should they want to do that for persons who don’t matter? It is bad enough that they will be mailing out checks at the rate of 5,000,000 a week instead of paying everybody now. Folks who have that nasty habit of signing their names in ink on the back of a check and cashing the check, just don’t matter anymore to bureaucrats. They’ll just have to wait. That’s what they get for not entering into a contract with an internet service provider.
Bail-outs
Expect some politicians to welcome the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse to take more money from struggling families and give it to big businesses, such as airlines. Libertarian candidates, do check and see how your opponent votes on such things.
Just because the bureaucrats sent you some money doesn’t mean you should object any less to corporate welfare. Tell U.S. Senator Marco Rubio and U.S. Senator Rick Scott, and the U.S. Representative who represents (or misrepresents) you, to end corporate welfare.
The right way to stockpile
Have you ever noticed that stocking up is prudent, stockpiling is bad and hoarding is terrible, but they all mean the same thing?
Even a pre-storm rush puts a strain on a retail system designed for just-in-time delivery. Often, a factory has a production line with a worker stacking cartons on a pallet. When the pallet is complete, a forklift driver removes it to a waiting trailer. It goes that day, to the distribution center of a retail chain, and they unload it, count it, sign for it and then load the cartons onto trailers bound for their stores. Sometimes, a production line will run for a few hours, and the product is brought to a warehouse where workers pick from it to fill orders for two weeks. The cost of setting up the production line is balanced against the need to produce a variety of stock-keeping units (SKU’s) while maintaining a minimum of inventory. It is up to you and me to maintain stockpiles for emergencies.
Under normal conditions, somebody could buy a tractor trailer load of hand sanitizer or toilet paper without putting a dent in availability. The factory would simply make more, to keep the supply “pipeline” filled. It is unfortunate that somebody who would invest a handsome sum on such a gamble would be punished for it when a disaster strikes.
In a way, we were quite lucky with this disaster. The factories are running, the power is on and the stores are open. The next disaster, there may be no warning, and whatever you have in your home, that is it.
Some people had all summer to stockpile toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and instead they spent the money taking trips to the beach. Other people never had a spare dime in their budget, due to rising rents, caused by zoning restrictions that prevent the construction of an abundance of new housing.
If you are saving for college or retirement, spend some of the money on emergency supplies from normal retail channels. When you retire or lose your job, you can eat the canned food. The welfare office won’t ask about how well you are stocked. As the expiration dates approach, either use it up or donate it to your local food pantry.
If you are stocking up on pasta, buy spaghetti, which is much more compact than pasta in other forms. If subsequent customers have to settle for elbow macaroni or shells for tonight’s dinner, they’ll live.
Supermarkets and motels
If you work for a supermarket or motel, please pass this on to the boss. Motels are being hit hard and have vacant rooms. They need to install small washing machines. Add a microwave oven and refrigerator if it is not already in there. I say this because each supermarket employee has a unique family situation. For some, a motel room is the best option. When the worker tests positive and requires isolation, a motel room with an exterior door facing fresh air, (unlike a hotel room where the door faces a common hallway) will provide the perfect isolation. The employee, upon testing positive, will proceed to the motel and move in for two weeks. The room will need to be pre-stocked with food and other necessities. The sight of wet bed sheets hanging to dry will drive the patient to take a long walk outdoors, which is fresh air and exercise. Supermarket chains will need to make arrangements with local motels. As for the cost, the supermarkets are enjoying exceptional sales now, facing a crush of customers, and there is nothing wrong with increasing prices to reflect increased costs.
Supermarkets ought to prepare for a strong demand for money orders and stamps, as more customers will stroll into the joint to cash unemployment checks and paychecks from new jobs, before direct deposit kicks in. They cannot renew their car registration in person, so they have to mail in the payment. Starting today, when somebody cashes a check, you should ask, “Do you need any money orders?” This may increase if the U.S. Government starts mailing out four-figure checks and the customers are uneasy about carrying so much cash.
Businesses should also consider buying machinery similar to the farebox that accepts coins and displays the total. Folks could stock up on $1 coins at the bank and pay for their pizza delivery much more conveniently with $1 coins than with quarters; and coins are much easier to disinfect by immersion in a disinfectant than notes are.
Economic recovery
Tell “your” state senator and state representative in the Florida Legislature in Tallahassee to abolish all the local zoning restrictions in the State. Immediately, there will be an abundance of new jobs in demolition and construction. The glut of new housing, — meeting the modern code — will force landlords to scramble to find tenants for half of today’s rents. Without city hall forcing the builder to add a parking lot, folks without cars will save. Folks could live closer to working, shopping and alcohol drinking, and they will be able to walk.
