Marsh, some others and I wonder if it isn't time to start digging into what exactly the emergency protocols will permit different offices/agencies to commandeer... I think we've gotten a good sense of what lies ahead...pandemic that will be at our own doors, literally--- or, perhaps with the grace of god will not hit our own communities, but will many other American communities. ... with as much as 70% infection rate, 20% critical, 10% death... gah! maybe only 3-5% death rate... but the basics remain the same things we've always known...i think.

ACTIONS: CONTINUING ACTIONS
Headquarters and Regional Support
ESF #8 continuously acquires and assesses information on the incident. The EMG, ESF #8
regional staff, and ESF #8 liaison staff in the RRCC/JFO continue to identify the nature and
extent of public health and medical problems and establish appropriate monitoring and public
surveillance. Other sources of information may include:
y State incident management authorities.
y Officials of the responsible jurisdiction in charge of the disaster scene.
y ESF #8 support agencies and organizations.
y Various Federal officials in the incident area.
y State health, agricultural, or animal health officials.
y State emergency medical services authorities.
y Tribal officials.
Because of the potential complexity of the public health and medical response, conditions may
require ESF #8 subject-matter experts to review public health and medical information and
advise on specific strategies to manage and respond to a specific situation in the most
appropriate manner.
Activation of Public Health/Medical Response Teams
HHS components are deployed directly as part of the ESF #8 response. Public health and
medical personnel and teams provided by ESF #8 are deployed under a DHS/FEMA mission
assignment.
Emergency Support Function #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex
January 2008 ESF #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex ESF #8-9
Coordination of Requests for Medical Transportation
In a major public health or medical emergency, local transportation assets may not be sufficient
to meet the demand. State, tribal, and local requests for Federal medical transportation
assistance are executed by ESF #8 in coordination with DHS/FEMA. Such assistance may
include accessible transportation for medical needs populations
Coordination for Obtaining, Assembling, and Delivering Medical Equipment and
Supplies to the Incident Area
ESF #8 will coordinate with DHS/FEMA, VA, DOD, the General Services Administration (GSA),
and other Federal partners as required to arrange for the procurement and transportation of
medical and durable medical equipment and supplies.
Communications
ESF #8 establishes communications necessary to coordinate Federal public health, medical, and
veterinary medical assistance effectively.
Public Affairs Information Requests
Requests for information may be received from various sources, such as the media and the
general public, and are referred to ESF #15 – External Affairs for action and response. ESF #8
makes available language-assistance services, such as interpreters for different languages,
telecommunications devices for the deaf, and accessible print media, to facilitate
communication with all members of the public.
After-Action Reports/Lessons Learned
ESF #8, on completion of the incident, prepares summary after-action and lessons learned
reports. These reports identify key problems, indicate how they were solved, and make
recommendations for improving response operations. ESF #8 will request input and coordinate
the preparation of the after-action and lessons learned reports with all supported and
supporting agencies.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Emergency Support Function (ESF) #8 – Public Health and Medical Services provides the
mechanism for coordinated Federal assistance to supplement State, tribal, and local resources
in response to a public health and medical disaster, potential or actual incidents requiring a
coordinated Federal response, and/or during a developing potential health and medical
emergency. The phrase “medical needs” is used throughout this annex. Public Health and
Medical Services include responding to medical needs associated with mental health, behavioral
health, and substance abuse considerations of incident victims and response workers. Services
also cover the medical needs of members of the “at risk” or “special needs” population
described in the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act and in the National Response
Framework (NRF) Glossary, respectively. It includes a population whose members may have
medical and other functional needs before, during, and after an incident.
Public Health and Medical Services includes behavioral health needs consisting of both mental
health and substance abuse considerations for incident victims and response workers and, as
appropriate, medical needs groups defined in the core document as individuals in need of
additional medical response assistance, and veterinary and/or animal health issues.
Scope
ESF #8 provides supplemental assistance to State, tribal, and local governments in the
following core functional areas:
y Assessment of public health/medical needs
y Health surveillance
y Medical care personnel
y Health/medical/veterinary equipment and supplies
y Patient evacuation
y Patient care
y Safety and security of drugs, biologics, and medical devices
y Blood and blood products
y Food safety and security
Emergency Support Function #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex
ESF #8-2 ESF #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex January 2008
y Agriculture safety and security
y All-hazard public health and medical consultation, technical assistance, and support
y Behavioral health care
y Public health and medical information
y Vector control
y Potable water/wastewater and solid waste disposal
y Mass fatality management, victim identification, and decontaminating remains
y Veterinary medical support
Policies
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) leads all Federal public health and medical
response to public health emergencies and incidents covered by the NRF. The response
addresses medical needs and other functional needs of those in need of medical care, including
assistance or support in maintaining independence, communicating, using transportation,
and/or requiring supervision.
The Secretary of HHS shall assume operational control of Federal emergency public health and
medical response assets, as necessary, in the event of a public health emergency, except for
members of the Armed Forces, who remain under the authority and control of the Secretary of
Defense.
The Secretary of HHS, through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), coordinates national ESF #8 preparedness, response, and recovery actions.
These actions do not alter or impede the existing authorities of any department or agency
supporting ESF #8.
HHS coordinates all ESF #8 response actions consistent with HHS internal policies and
procedures (e.g., HHS Concept of Operations Plan for Public Health and Medical Emergencies,
and the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) Four Partner Memorandum of Agreement).
ESF #8 support agencies are responsible for maintaining administrative control over their
respective response resources after receiving coordinating instructions from HHS.
The Emergency Management Group (EMG), operating from the HHS Secretary’s Operations
Center (SOC), coordinates the overall national ESF #8 response for the ASPR and maintains
constant communications with the National Operations Center (NOC).
All headquarters and regional organizations (including those involved in other ESFs)
participating in response operations report public health and medical requirements to the
appropriate ESF #8 representative operating in the National Response Coordination Center
(NRCC), the Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC), or the Joint Field Office (JFO)
when activated.
The Joint Information Center (JIC) will be established to coordinate incident-related public
information, and is authorized to release general medical and public health response
information to the public. When possible, a recognized spokesperson from the public health
and medical community (State, tribal, or local) delivers relevant community messages. After
consultation with HHS, the lead Public Affairs Officer from other JICs may also release general
medical and public health response information.
Emergency Support Function #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex
January 2008 ESF #8 – Public Health and Medical Services Annex ESF #8-3
In the event of a zoonotic disease outbreak and in coordination with ESF #11 – Agriculture and
Natural Resources, public information may be released after consultation with the Department
of Agriculture (USDA). In the event of an oil, chemical, biological, or radiological environmental
contamination incident, ESF #8 coordinates with ESF #10 – Oil and Hazardous Materials
Response on the release of public health information.
As the lead agency for ESF #8, HHS determines the appropriateness of all requests for release
of public health and medical information and is responsible for consulting with and organizing
Federal public health and medical subject-matter experts,as needed.

"For employees who are able to telework, supervisors should encourage employees to telework instead of coming into the workplace until symptoms are completely resolved.

Project Veritas: Bernie Sanders Field Organizer Suggests Gulags to Help 'Nazified' Trump Voters

An undercover video published by Project Veritas on Tuesday shows a field organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign saying Soviet gulags were actually a positive phenomenon, suggesting that some similar program could re-educate Trump supporters and billionaires.
The video begins with a Project Veritas journalist asking an individual identified as Sanders organizer Kyle Jurek if “MAGA people” could be re-educated if Bernie wins the White House. “We gotta try,” Jurek replies. “In Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi Party, there was a shit-ton of the populace that was ****ing Nazified.”
“Germany had to spend billions of dollars re-educating their ****ing people to not be Nazis,” he continues. “We’re probably going to have to do the same ****ing thing here.”
“That’s kind of what all Bernie’s whole ****ing like, ‘hey, free education for everybody’ because we’re going to have to teach you to not be a ****ing Nazi,” he added.
In another part of the video, Jurek is seen discussing Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin’s use of gulags, where he claims that the CIA was overly critical of them. “People were actually paid a living wage in the gulags, they conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were meant for re-education,” he says.
Jurek is then seen suggesting that the most effective way to re-educate the billionaire class is to order them to “break rocks for 12 hours a day.”
“[The] greatest way to break a ****ing billionaire of their privilege and their idea that their superior, go and break rocks for 12 hours a day. You’re now a working class person and you’re going to ****ing learn what the means, right?”
The video also shows Jurek warning that Milwaukee, host of this year’s Democrat National Convention, will “burn” if Sanders fails to win the party’s nomination. “If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination or it goes to a second round at the DNC convention, ****ing Milwaukee will burn,” says Jurek. “It’ll start in Milwaukee and then when the police push back on that, other sites will ****ing [explode].”
The footage concludes with Jurek issuing the chilling prediction that Milwaukee could see riots akin to the 1968 convention in Chicago, where left-wing activists engaged in violent riots in the streets. “Be ready to be in Milwaukee for the DNC convention. We’re going to make [1968] look like a ****ing girl’s scout ****ing cookout,” warns the Sanders field organizer. “The cops are going to be the ones ****ing beaten in Milwaukee.”
The undercover video’s emergence comes as 2020 Democrats are slated to debate Tuesday evening — their final meeting before Iowa holds the nation’s first caucus on February 3rd. Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe has teased that Tuesday’s footage is one of several upcoming videos to be released as part of the group’s “Expose2020” campaign.

Interesting comments from Bracken on this today.

Matt Bracken | April 14, 2019 at 09:24 | Reply

The Left is gearing up for genocide against whites. Before every genocide, the targeted scapegoats are demonized in the media.

Turkey/Armenians, USSR/Kulaks, Germany/Jews, China/landlords, Cambodia/intellectuals, Rwanda/Tutsis etc etc etc.

The message being sent by this show is clear: the “white nationalist” scapegoats are evil monsters, “irredeemable deplorables,” and what can you do with irredeemables but do away with them? The social approval of the pre-genocide scapegoat message has a clear purpose, it’s psychological battle-space preparation.

This is why the globalist/communist Left is conflating Nazism with “white nationalism,” which is their term for heritage American patriots.

The problem for the Left is that heritage American patriots are armed to the teeth, and won’t be disarmed short of a bloody civil war, which the Left will probably lose, and lose badly.

People living in glass houses should not throw stones, and people who live by the millions jammed into blue hives where every drop of water, box of food, gallon of fuel, and watt of electricity must be imported from the hostile heritage American hinterland should not instigate a civil war.

BRACKEN: COVINGTON GIVES A GLIMPSE OF CIVIL WAR TWO
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2019/01/covington-gives-a-glimpse-of-civil-war-two/

Bracken: Covington Gives a Glimpse of Civil War Two

Posted by AP Staff | Jan 28, 2019 | Matt Bracken | 130 |

During the attempted electronic lynching of the Covington Catholic high school boys on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the mask hiding the Left’s genocidal rage slipped and was momentarily visible. The reality of the confrontation was inverted 180 degrees by the duplicitous mainstream media so that a smiling white teenager was made to face the wrath of an Orwellian two-minute hate that stretched on for days, even after the factual record was corrected. Accelerated by social media, the virtual lynch mob called for, among other horrors, MAGA-hat-wearing teenage boys to be fed headfirst into wood chippers, or for them to be locked en-masse into their school and the school to be burned to the ground.

This hurricane of socially sanctioned racial fury did not arise spontaneously, but was the result of deliberate cultivation over the past few decades by the political Left, academia, the mainstream media, and the Hollywood entertainment elite. Entire books could be written laying out the many already familiar examples of the Left encouraging racial animosity against whites, but that is not my goal in writing this piece.

I am instead observing that before every notorious genocide, the same pattern of marginalizing and demonizing a designated scapegoat population has occurred. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the national mainstream media signaled that it was now acceptable to vent seething racial hatred against white males, even teenage boys. This was further telegraphed when notable verified Twitter blue-check accounts were not suspended after doxing the boys and posting explicit calls for violence against them. (By way of contrast, I was permanently banned from Twitter for posting an anti-burka meme that did not even name a religion.)

The Covington confrontation points to an ironclad historical pattern. Every previous genocide in modern times was preceded by a similar pattern of public demonization of state-designated scapegoats. But is correlation causation? Does the American Left intend to eventually commit genocide against white heritage American males? In my opinion, yes. Scapegoating is part of a clear pattern of conduct seen during every socialist power grab from the French Revolution until now. In the case of German national socialists, European Jews were the scapegoats of the Nazis during their climb to power. In the case of international socialists, AKA Communists, class enemies were usually but not always the designated scapegoats. Examples of class enemies would include the Kulaks in the Soviet Union, “landlords” in China, and “intellectuals” in Cambodia. But in other cases ethnic groups were targeted as scapegoats by Communists, to include the Ukrainians, Crimeans, Latvians and others...

Good luck with THIS one. Companies HATE telecommuting and have for years. A science-fiction novel from 1995, "Headcrash", gives the best explanation of why:

"Telecommuting: Like Laetrile, the death of Elvis Presley and New Democrats, telecommuting was one of the great popular hoaxes of the late 20th Century. The idea that middle managers would actually allow their employees to use a technology that, by definition, makes middle management obsolete, is too ludicrous to bother refuting here."

If they hadn't fallen out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down they know it makes them more critically needed by the company or institution. Without tech savvy management verifying productivity and production goals are being met, labor, equipment, personel, materials and connectivity issues are resolved in a short and satisfactory manner companies are in a world of hurt.

Maybe if tech savvy managers were hired and promoted instead of hall monitors we'd all be better off and so would the bottom line.
