Hello Everybody,

"This is The End. Beautiful friend. The End."
~ Jim Morrison, The Doors

Famous last words.
Singing in the bathtub.
As his lover waited his return.

While I am sure Jim died happy, with a smile on his face,
not everybody in today's world will be so lucky given the
news on the airwaves.

Here is what Barack Obama's Medicare czar is saying about the
crisis that is facing us all -

America's hospitals will be overrun with coronavirus in just
EIGHT DAYS: Obama's Medicare boss issues dire warning as doctors
say as many as 500,000 are already infected and 10 MILLION will need
care

There are only 790,000 hospital beds 100,000 ICU beds total in all of
the hospitals across the country. Dr. Marty Makary warned people not
to believe the current figures that only 2,200 are infected. He says
the true number is likely far more and that as many as half a million
people already have it. Dr. Makary urged people to be more vigilant
said 'we're about to experience the worst epidemic since polio'.

Johns Hopkins predicts 9.6 million people will need to be hospitalized
and 3 million will need ICU care. Doctors and nurses fear the hospital
system, which is already overrun by the flu season, may buckle.
In Italy, doctors are having to choose between critically ill people
to treat because resources are short.

America's hospitals will be overrun with coronavirus patients in just
eight days and face months of strain, according to Obama's former
Medicare boss.

Andy Slavitt, former Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, issued the dire warning on Twitter on Saturday
along with a string of advice for the public, governments and health
workers.

'Last night I was on with state & local officials around the US
well into the night.' ... 'By March 23 many of our largest cities
& hospitals are on course to be overrun with cases,' he wrote.

Slavitt then listed highlights from the memo he had prepared which
included telling people to self-isolate now, closing bars and
restaurants, frantically sourcing medical supplies 'even from the
black market' if necessary and gearing up for the 'tsunami' of
patients that will soon arrive at hospitals.

'The stakes are higher than any most of us have ever experienced:
wars, 9/11, whatever,' he later added.
