Funny this comes from Jakarta.
There are “no cases” in Jakarta. Because they pray to allah to keep them safe. No kidding...this is what their health minister said last week.
Shaking my head.
Imagine. In a hospital in this country in one of the 46 states without kits...there is a patient on ventilator. That has this. And nobody in the hospital is using any precautions to prevent its spread. Because no testing...Because the patient didn’t recently return from China and the CDC doesn’t approve testing for anyone who didn’t recently return from China...
Imagine this patient dies. The mortuary is now a biohazard zone. The embalmer has it now. It’s all over the funeral home...
But hey, at least that person didn’t recently return from China, so we can’t test for it and our number of dead remains 0.
Wanna bet they’ll hook that ventilator up to a 25 year old hottie and let the 40 and older sit in the corner.
