UK fatalities now 104 with 2626 confirmed cases.
Schools finally partially closing from Friday - they have been advised to still accept children from key workers such as medical staff to reduce impact on emergency services. Some have already closed in my area and I know of at least one only able to take half the year-groups in the school due to lack of staff able to attend.

Just out of curiosity and as a just in case measure, I called the Florida Department of Health certification office to see if they made any exceptions to reinstate expired EMT licenses, but so far nothing and they say they dont forsee it. I think he said it only goes back a couple months for extensions.
Oh yeah? Try again in two weeks, I suspect the answer will be different.
The age demographics in Florida will turn it into Northen Italy pretty fast.
My thoughts exactly. The dude I talked to didnt seem like he was taking this seriously or willing to help me out. It was very monotone straight to the point.
This info has been out for a while, but needs repeating.
Itally is rushing out 10,000 med students without taking their final exams, just to shore up the workforce.
So very true. Just remember to see the opportunity you will need to sit on those stocks for a couple of years but the pay off will be huge. Stocks that would be a risky bet are any of the service industries and travel-related as they are going to be hit hard with a high risk of bankruptcy. Just check out which companies have had to shut their doors as they will be at the biggest risk.
Even when I was just an EMT, the docs would let me stitch people up, and perform cricothyroidotomy's as long as it was under their supervision. All EMT's work under the directive of a medical director for whatever agency they work for so maybe we can work that way. Who knows. I can definitely see getting hired or volunteering for one position and having moments of fuck it where I can go intubate someone or something. I doubt anyone would question it until after the fact. Would you care if you had an EMT doing everything possible to help during this crisis when workers start dropping out because of the virus? I just cant see it. Obviously I can't be reckless, but I obviously cant say "im not allowed to do that"
EDIT: It's like riding a bicycle. They drill the training into you and with the amount of experience, its with me for life.

Also during a press conference earlier Trump announced he is enacting the Defense Production Act. He mentioned that during the second world war we were pumping out ships at an incomprehensible rate, with people sleeping in the factories working round the clock, and how we had our countries teenagers rushing to help their country. If we were watching this back in the Day on a CRT TV it would hold more weight. If world leaders are mentioning conditions close to the second world war, it just puts it into perspective. Its so difficult to understand because we dont see bombs dropping on anyone, or households being drafted for any of this. It was an event that has been dramatized so much, some could forget it was a reality.

I know I can be dramatic, but im torn between saying hey, look at the objective information in front of you and, well theres not much we can do but wait it out and take the punches as they come.
Trump invokes Defense Production Act as coronavirus response
President Trump announced Wednesday that he will invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA), which would allow the administration to force American industry to manufacture medical supplies that are in short supply in the fight against the coronavirusthehill.com
We’re adding 20,000 student nurses to our workforce; they’re in one of the age brackets least likely to be heavily impacted should they get infected so it does make sense.

Its socialism! And you are going to take it!
Once we are over the hump and new cases start declining in 3 months, we will ease back into normal life and the free money will stop.
Well yes, its the start, but temporary.
