patom rank	Mon Mar 30 21:27:39 2020 NYC is running short on face masks: https://ny...oronavirus-mask-shortages.html
Paramount rank	Mon Mar 30 21:58:15 2020 ” Trump noted suspiciously that hospitals are now asking for many more masks than they used to, before the coronavirus appeared. “How do you go from [10,000] to 20,000 masks [prior to the pandemic] — to 300,000…” he said, “Something’s going on. And you ought to look into it as reporters. Where are the masks going? Are they going out the back door? ” lol
Paramount rank	Mon Mar 30 22:08:54 2020 Maybe the nurses and doctors are selling the masks on the black market to make some extra money!! Fox News needs to look into this.
jergul rank	Mon Mar 30 22:44:11 2020 Thats the exact kind of thing that should not be speculated. 330 million people needing health care and god know how many billion items of disposable hospital articles. Of course some have fallen off the back of the truck or been sold by dishonest staff. But the number is so small is the be laughable to even mention, but dangerous if it gets traction because it undermines health care efforts. And actual problem is people walking in, and walking off with that type of supplies.
Paramount rank	Mon Mar 30 22:57:29 2020 I’m thinking that a hospital is using a whole lot of masks per day. Ideally, one nurse/doctor change mask several times per day. So having a supply of 300k masks is not strange if this crisis drags on for weeks and months. France bought 1 billion masks the other day.
Dakyron rank	Mon Mar 30 23:16:07 2020 Single use masks is terrible for the environment. Cant believe they cant make washable masks.
patom rank	Tue Mar 31 01:14:50 2020 Trump likely threw this out there to cover his ass if he lets them run out of masks. His followers will all agree that he's doing it out of concern for the country.
tumbleweed rank	Tue Mar 31 01:49:26 2020 Trump has the courage & leadership to accuse people of crimes without evidence
kargen rank	Tue Mar 31 02:12:16 2020 Going on a bit of a tangent but some supplies were low before this all started. Surgical gowns were in short supply because the gowns we usually get from China were not made from cloth that passes requirements for sterile areas. Other problems also caused concern that shortages could happen. I was watching this pretty close because some places were limiting certain types of surgeries and I was scheduled for a total knee replacement. We were already low on a bunch of this stuff so of course a pandemic is causing shortages.
patom rank	Tue Mar 31 12:28:44 2020 Not claiming to be a Psychologist or Behavior Scientist. But in the 8 years I worked at the jail, I did observe some commonalities among many inmates. One of the common traits was to accuse others of the very thing they are guilty of, or would do without blinking an eye. For instance, calling others 'Rat'. Being on the other side of the bars, I did get to know who the rats were. Many of them were the ones accusing others being a rat. Maybe it's just human nature.
jergul rank	Tue Mar 31 12:41:11 2020 The Norwegian stimulous packages are starting up. Financed mostly by State obligations This means a buyback of Norwegian kroner. The stimulous packages are in local currency. The Norwegian Central bank has just upped its daily buy amount significantly. Talk to your broker. The obligations are interest bearing against the backdrop of an appreciating nkr. It is a good investmen opportunity if you have cash (I would not advise liquidating stocks to do this. For those - sit tight for a few years and ignore your paper losses if you are in index or sector funds. Direct stock investments - well, there you have to weigh the chances of chapter 11 liquidating your stocks for you at a fraction or no money back).
