I was wrong about Covid 19, and you probably was too.

[iamwhatiseem]

..... Is it really that bad?

It is.
The stress levels are at peak. Imagine YOU... having to care for people who have the very virus that has the world on edge. YOU are in the room with them. And then you go home to your family. "Am I safe? Was I well covered? Did I touch something"?
And then imagine yourself having at least the comfort that the really sick and dying are old, or have other respiratory/immune problems. But then, 24 hours later - that is not the case anymore. Now YOU might literally die if you get it. But you still have to take care of those that could infect you. 12 hours at a time.

Imagine that stress.

 

[beagle9]

No one was ready for this kind of crisis that will end up touching us all to some degree.

Thats only because the incompetent fuckup in the WH claimed it was not a big deal and a hoax.

Nope. Wouldn't have mattered who was in the White House, and wouldn't have mattered what they said. Once the dominoes started to fall around the world, our fate was sealed.
The world in 2020 is so mobile, nothing could have stopped this. It would have helped some if we would have tightened up our borders and restricted certain countries from coming here, but this would have only slightly delayed the inevitable.

You tell that to the people that would have changed their behavior had Drumpf been a leader from the beginning and raised an alarm instead of downplaying the virus. He has blood on his hands and so do clowns like you that support Drumpf.

grow up you fool.

You make us look bad.

You've looked bad every since you voted for an idiot to be POTUS. I had nothing to do with that.

Didn't want the president to work and do great things for you, your friends, and your family, and all because of your racism ?? And when he did do great things, then you make a fool of yourself because of your racism.

 

[Asclepias]

Thats good. Hopefully you catch it and kill off some people but live to deal with your ignorance.

Funny thing, most of the board hopes for the same thing for you.

Well you know what they say. You can hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster.

Tell us, is Covid 19 a white man's plot to thin you folks out?

Considering how stupid white racists are I wouldnt put it past them. I mean the logic is incredible. Release a virus in China to kill all people of African descent. Makes sense right?

Why aren't you thanking my people for finding an effective treatment?

Stress is not good for the immune system. What kind of numbers are we talking about?

Exactly right.... Essential workers are under the same stress if not more, where as just because someone wants another roll of toilet paper, they have to take a chance to be there to sell it to them ?? Unbelievable.

I put this in Politics because if I put it in health, few will see it. As well as politics of this virus was clouding my mind in the same way it has clouded all of our minds.
As mentioned before, my son is a Respiratory Care Specialist at one of the nations leading Children's hospitals and my daughter is a Respiratory Therapist at a large metropolitan hospital/trauma center. When I say they are on the front lines of this, I mean they are on the front lines.
Up until Friday, I was not that concerned about getting it, or my wife or the two of them. Like most, I was comfortable in the knowledge that it is primarily a concern for the very old/folks with underlying illness.
That is no longer the case.
This weekend, all over the country hospitals are getting much younger patients that require life saving care - and they have no other illness. And the numbers you are seeing reported are not representative of the actual numbers. It is higher.
Like many, I scoffed at all of these restrictions the government was laying out. 4 states with "stay at home" orders. I thought this was over reacting.
Until I got a call from both my kids. Especially my daughter, upset and for the first time afraid and scared. "It is really bad here Dad, we are getting more and more and they are getting younger".
A 32 year old, who 48 hours earlier was at work, feeling a little funny. Last night he was on life support and fighting for his life. Add more to that. Kids also.

The situation is evolving. And it is changing in not a good way.
Take it serious folks. Don't wait until it effects you or someone you know. Change what you are doing now.
Thank God our government took this more seriously than we did.... I guess they knew more than us.




On a good note. The malaria drug is showing promise. Yesterday a 66 year old at the hospital was in critical condition on a breathing machine. He has received 2 malaria shots, is now off the machine and sitting up and talking. It isn't working for everyone, but it is clearly having positive results on some.

My significant other works in a hospital lab dealing with this stuff first hand as well. The amount of misinformation out there about Covid-19 is mind boggling.

Mods considered my smartass response "trolling" went a bit far.

Please just stay covered in your corner so the mean old virus doesnt get you. Especially in November

Not my fault youre a troll. I will stay covered up as long as it takes. I dont need someone like you wilt low intellect to tell me that.

I'm proud of trolling the fearmongers. Never leave your basement. There are mean microscoping monsters out there waiting for you.

I could care less if youre proud of being a troll. Do you. At least you know who and what you are.

ALl I can say is what we have here. The hospitals have gotten quite a few new patients in the past 24-36 hours yet strangely the CDC number barely moved. I am not sure why. Probably red tape slowing the reporting numbers.

He could have done much more than raise an alarm.

He could have reestablished the pandemic task force immediately.

He could have started back in January to make sure that there were enough tests and medical supplies.

He could have accepted the tests from the WHO.

Let’s hope that more conservatives acknowledge the fact that this outbreak is serious, that they stop trying to downplay its severity, and stop lying about the crisis being ‘overblown’ by ‘the media.’
