“As I write this, more than 500,000 respirators are on the way from our South Dakota plant to two of the more critically impacted areas, New York and Seattle, with arrivals expected starting tomorrow,” Roman wrote Sunday. “We are also ready to expedite additional shipments across the country.”

at what point does knowingly putting others at risk become a criminal act?   I have heard of one case where a person wasnt feeling well so went and got tested, but went back to their job working with the public while waiting for their test result.... which came back positive.  IMO that kind of disregard for others safety should have serious consequences.

This is exactly what Rand Paul did.  Got tested and while waiting for the results, worked out in the Senate gym and swam in the pool.  He tested positive. I just can’t believe the level of stupidity and arrogance this shows.

And he is a doctor....

He basically violated the Hippocratic Oath.

Dayum, wish the Gov well...He's been doing a really nice job (imo) leading through this to-date.

I'm just waiting for the shelter at home order - even though were practicing it ourselves now without it.

I have been retired for about 7 years, so they probably wouldn't ask me to return to practice unless the health care system becomes massively overwhelmed. But if it comes to that, I won't hesitate to return.

I think when this is all said and done we will find that a lot of people have taken some horribly ignorant and selfish actions that have really put a lot of people in danger.  I work from a small office with 6 of us and 3 of my co-workers have been out of country in the last 3 weeks and not one hesitated to come back to work,  one even came back with a cold,  claims she wasnt feeling well before she went so she pretty confident that its not Covid... because of course a body couldnt be fighting or carrying both viruses.

Coronavirus is reminding me that in major crises like this, you get a much clearer picture of good and bad humans, good and bad leaders. They just divide in times like this, don't they? It's like turning on a light and exposing reality. Good people do the right thing. They help, they encourage, they tell the truth. They think of others' needs ahead of their own. Bad people do what bad people do. They think only of themselves, they endanger others, they hoard. They exploit and mislead and try to profit.
