I just learned something that probably everybody but me knows about.
If you are searching with google you can goto tools, the click on any time then click on last hour. That will get you the latest posting for, say united states corona test kits (which gets pretty interesting)
Oh, the CDC just sent out a plea for everybody to stop buying face masks as the supply is going away and hospital workers, etc can no longer buy them and they really need them.
Kinda inspiring to note just how prepared we are?

People would stop buying masks if they realized masks only keep you from spreading your infection to others. They do very little to protect you if you are around somebody with the virus. In that case you get virus on your shoes, clothes, and even the outside of your mask! Then touch any of those and you are infected.

the feds have now allowed private labs to start producing test kits. Pretty soon, after they really figure out how to make them, the big drug folks will descend to produce them. It will probably cost them about 3 bucks to do that so the price, to the american consumer won't be much more than 50/60.00 each. A vial of insulin costs $2.28 to manufacture. You see what they charge for that?
What can we do to help you stop screaming?

This is the kind of thing that, when it begins to happen across the board (not just insulin, but pretty much everything that is essential for just staying alive) that's when it eventually reaches a point where people either just give up or get extremely violent. The problem with it being insulin is, it's only the diabetics right now, the rest of the boiling frogs think it's just a nice dip in the jacuzzi, so why are those whiners complaining about their insulin...after all they're diabetic because they "made poor life choices". Yeah, suck on this.

I think California has decided to produce their own insulin and sell it at cost. Since the patent was released years ago I think they can pull that one off. If they do then I wonder what that will do to the price? This is especially true of they produce a LOT of insulin? this is, incidentally, something i thought somebody should have done a very long time ago! There is some evidence that California may not stop at just insulin. Its two bad that several states couldn't gather together and REALLY get this done! I know, another tax payer supported service, but a good one! https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239621253.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...generic-prescription-drug-label-n1112926

Several states should just get together and create single payer "regional authorities" and implement single payer that way. That way it will become incredibly difficult for different DC pols to swing things back and forth on a political whim.
