I can see why doctors should be first in line when a limited availability exists, but several things...



1. It's fraud. Ethics anyone???

2. They are stockpiling.

3. These are doctors who haven't even necessarily fallen ill yet or have need for the meds.

Survival of the fittest I guess.

The kids that I see everyone whining about on Facebook are outside. Being outside is allowed. I’m not going to argue over this but I just know not everyone is going to follow the rules. I know I am staying inside. No idea if teenagers walking down the st or in the park are spreading this. The *******s who spread this are the biogen employees who couldn’t resist travel. I’m sure there how Larry barcow got it too. Continued to travel and meet with people.

I was wondering the same, although (going by their word anyway) the pharmacists interviewed suggested they aren't isolated incidents.

The NY Post is tabloid-ish, but that info was originally published in the NY Times.

I posted the NY Post link because the NY Times is behind a paywall.

At least our president admits that our nation has a serious narcotics problem. Didn't he say that a lot of people are going to overdose on fentanyl and other drugs for being out of work for so long?

I've known this would happen for 3 weeks.

Not sure there’s a point in opening them at all at this point? I believe most public schools run through mid June. Private schools early June some even late May.

I got a letter from my kids camp yesterday basically saying camp could be cancelled and it’s in July.
