1. I should send this to the governor of MO, who finally yesterday placed the state under stay at ...

orders. A reckless and irresponsible governor, who obviously was more concerned about businesses then people, and wasn't even voted in by the voters of MO (he was appointed by the legislature after our voted in governor (Greitens) was kicked out).

2. Good news

I'm not sure what happens when cases decline and medical capacity stabilizes. At that time there will be some interesting debates. With "Republican" leaders most likely choosing the course safest for corporations.

3. Here in Chicago, McCormick Place convention center has been converted

into a "hospital" (sort of a misnomer, really a containment center with doctors and nurses on staff), with 3,000 beds. So I think our state and city is preparing as well as they can.

I hope the calming predictions of this Rush expert prove true. It feels like life may never get back to normal at this point, but that is a perspective I know will change with time, and courage.

5. McCormick Place is more of a Care Center than a hospital But, they are prepared to

change the plans as needs change. They are being very proactive. Good thing the feds haven't destroyed the Army Corp of Engineers at least not yet, anyway.

4. This is good news.

We have great (Democratic) leadership in Chicago and Springfield.

IMO, we have great hospitals and doctors as well.

6. JB has been great on this issue

Thank (Theoretical) God that Rauner is out

8. Yes, Rauner was a billionaire crank who didn't give a damn about working people, only business.

7. unfortunately we really have no idea. People have been sent away from ER's for 3 months

here as nothing can be done and no testing. Lets review in 4 weeks
