There is talk about universal dnrs in the us. In the UK de facto already happening.

Specifically, only for individuals that are confirmed to be infected by COVID-19.

dnr = Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) (for dnrs googling gives link to something scammy-looking)

If you thought daughters from California were a problem before...

I can't see that ever been officially enforced - any hospital that tried would quickly be court ordered by the boomer brigade. Of course, many things happen in hospitals that nurses know of, but never speak aloud.

It's would be hilarious if it weren't so morbid that we spent 8 years arguing about fake "Death Panels" under Obama and here we're literally talking about the reality of the situation under Trump.

Some of the workers have to walk for hundreds of miles back to home when the economy in New Delhi is halted. Non first-world countries face even bigger problems than Europe and US.

We always had that reality - groups of people who decide who gets what health care. Only instead of answering to the people or their representatives, they answer only to the insurance company shareholders.

I just thank all the gods that liquor stores are considered "essential services" and as such aren't required to shut down by the Aus government.

When they run out of hand sanitizer, where else can you buy refined ethanol, eh?

If you think they're going to stick to confirmed COVID19 patients you're more optimistic than I am. At present anyone and everyone can be a covid patient, regardless of the presence of symptoms.

I know of two cases in London where people died of conditions which weren't covid. Treatment was delayed because of fear that they might be covid19+

Every job is essential, apparently. Although I appreciate the sentiment behind it. People are doing it pretty tough at the moment.

Haha, that reminds me of a joke I forgot to make - what are the alcoholics supposed to drink if you paranoid folks keep buying all the hand sanitiser?

Not entirely sure what you mean here, but I guess a lot of jobs are essential to the people working them. RIP.   
I do feel for them, but I'm just glad I can still buy booze, ya know?

Wash your hands with methylated spirits.

Inadvisable. Methyl alcohol is absorbed through the skin.

Florida, which is about to reach 5000 cases one day after reaching 4000. Increasing at a rate of 1000 cases or more a day is a distinction not many countries have reached (that we are aware of). Florida's about to reach it in its own right.

Liquour stores are also considered essential here in New York. This was met with much rejoicing.
