    At my age, I'm considered non-essential, so it will probably be, "no ventilator for you!"

    If the 3 of Us pooled our 10k together, we could afford 1 ventilator. That would give Us each a 33% chance of getting one. If you get need one, You have a 20% chance of survival. Might as well throw one hell of a party with all the other patients. Till you croak.

    It’d be a hell of a party. The dancing girls might be a bunch of Grandmas, but it could get pretty wild.

    Setting my alarm for 9:00 am. Resume calling the bank every 15 minutes. Start looking for a load out of Atlanta for Wednesday. Looks like it’ll be another load of Clorox.

    You don’t want to go on a ventilator as it is. Once you get to the point that you need a ventilator?, 70% of those who go on the vent to later pass away. Best to stay away from one if you can all together. Yes 100% of the people would die who need a ventilator and can’t get one, but what they’re not telling you is once you get to that point? We only have a 30% chance of living.

    Have a doctor's appointment tomorrow for something unrelated to corona. I may ask him if he can prescribe some of that hydroxychloroquine, enough for me and the family. All he can say is no.I figure that's a better investment than a ventilator.

    Well, it's like day 6 or 7 since the SBA EILD web link application went live.

    How many of you who applied have received that $10,000 "Advance/Grant" within 3 days, had the money deposited into your account?

    Wait lemme check mine...

    I just checked my bank account!

    You're not gonna believe this!!!

    Holy moly!!!

    It's not there! LOL
     
    Nostalgic, kemosabi49, Tug Toy and 3 others Thank this.
