Polis Issues Statewide Stay at Home Order

      1. Where? And is it the text of the full order or a summary? The Public Safety Alert just went out and colorado.gov is swamped at the moment. For employers, it is really important to know the exact text of the order to see how we can comply. For employees, it is also important to know, for labor rights and workplace safety reasons.

         

  1. As long as I can buy food, booze, and dope—I am good.

    I have postponed my guns and ammo purchases. I do find it interesting that both “firearms stores” and “gun stores” are mentioned. Is firearms too bigly a word for a certain crowd?

      1. Nope.

        . . . at least not until armed robbery is permitted to be “necessary business.”

        Rules is rules.

        ——————

        You will, however, probably soon be in the clear just shooting him — and may even be encouraged to do so, under the Republican plan and federal preemption. (As I understand it, the details on the age requirements, etc., are currently being discussed and negotiated, and have not yet been finalized.) But, I think you may still have to leave his food, booze, and drugs, untouched, even then . . .

        . . . at least until we get a clarifying SCOTUS ruling?

        It’s complicated, and things are going to be a little in flux for awhile, given the current state of things.

  2. One chart explains why Polis decided to act now:

     

  3. Let me try to paste the chart one more time

     

  4. Aw heck!

    Colorado Case Summary (Updated 3/25/20 at 4:00 p.m.) PDF version
    Note: This summary only includes data through 3/24 and does not reflect cases since then.  

    1,086 cases*
    147 hospitalized
    36 counties
    8,064 people tested
    19 deaths **Correction**
    9 outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities

  5. Here's a moral and ethical problem I would not wish on anyone.  And it is primarily due to the critical shortage of PPE that Trump takes no responsibility for.

    Hospitals consider universal do-not-resuscitate orders for coronavirus patients

    The conversations are driven by the realization that the risk to staff amid dwindling stores of protective equipment — such as masks, gowns and gloves — may be too great to justify the conventional response when a patient “codes,” and their heart or breathing stops.

    Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has been discussing a do-not-resuscitate policy for infected patients, regardless of the wishes of the patient or their family members — a wrenching decision to prioritize the lives of the many over the one.

    The new protocols are part of a larger rationing of lifesaving procedures and equipment — including ventilators — that is quickly becoming a reality here as in other parts of the world battling the virus. The concerns are not just about health-care workers getting sick but also about them potentially carrying the virus to other patients in the hospital.
