Apparently, the country is running low on codeine – a medication that helps keep me alive (now's a great time to start TPN, right???)

And there isn't any for me to have right now.

This is entirely the result of DEA's incompetence

Yes, a respiratory infectious disease pandemic is in that causal chain, no doubt. Except here's the thing: but for DEA's incompetence, there wouldn't be a shortage of codeine.

I'm trying to mostly take today off.

And yet, here I am, adding things to the list...

I've been working on vents and PPE, and yes, I knew med shortages would be a thing, but we weren't even making progress on vents and PPE...
