    We might as well take a slight advantage in this mess to the work we do. Let’s say you were out on the road, you start getting symptoms and they become severe and you decide that you might need to get to a hospital within a day or two. What states, what towns, would you recommend going to right now given the crisis? Obviously wouldn’t go to New Jersey or New York. We should pick towns that have competent and good medical care they are overwhelmed by the virus. Let’s list them here and keep them updated. That way if one of us become sick and we need medical attention we can go there rather than just taking a chance at some crap hospital in some crap town or some overwhelmed place where they have thousands of sick people.

    Ohio, by far the most prepared state. They even turned off all the hand driers in the rest areas because it can spread the virus.

    if you get that sick, you go to where you are at.

    chances are, you try to go someplace else, you're gonna die.

    I'm as liberal as it gets, but I don't think weed will fix this problem.

    (That's a joke)

    I would get as far away from all the major cities!
    Get to a small or medium sized town with a walk in clinic.
    But, don’t just walk in! Call them from the parking lot and let them know the situation.

    Home. If I'm able to drive, I'm going home. If I can't drive, I'm going to the hospital where I'm at, but only if I can't drive.

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your health is your wealth. Get home and stay there, that's why the country is locking down. This isn't going away soon and a lot of people are going to be financially ruined. Police departments in big cities like New York City are getting infected, how long do you think civility is going to last if the cops aren't around?

    Your preps are at home, or should be.
