Yesterday's thread here:

Anyone remember when the president STOPPED referring to Covid-19 as a HOAX?
******************************************************************************
The President never referred to Covid-19 as a hoax. He said what the press was doing with their reporting of it was a hoax.
i had pain down there whereby I was worried about that exact thing and felt like I was going to die. I could barely move as I awaited going to urgent care in the morning or going to ER.
The only reason i didnt call an ambulance was because I didnt have a fever and I wasnt vomiting.
Never want to experience that pain level again
Ended up , I guess, being diverticulitis.
God Speed in the healing and hoping she doesn’t catch the ‘Rona.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - don’t take Fish chemicals
A press release from Banner Health, based in Arizona, said the husband and wife, both in their 60s, took an additive called chloroquine phosphate used to clean fish tanks, to try to prevent coronavirus.
Within half an hour, both needed to seek emergency medical care. The man later died.
I don’t blame the flu bros.
.Gov (ours and everybody elses) made a key tactical error in communications.
What they should have done from day 1 is run PSAs on every type of media like this:
—Young, strong person in biosuit hooked up to ventilator in hospital
—Suddenly the monitors start screeching wildly and nurses and doctors run into the room in a panic.
Voiceover: CV is dangerous for everyone. Here is what you need to do....
Instead, all .gov, all countries went with the “old people hardest hit” communication strategy.
Total fail—that just convinced younger people they had nothing to be concerned about...
God bless you FRiend. Wow. Thank you for your time and sanity here thru all you have faced. I wondered why you stopped hosting this thread, and Mariner is great. Now I understand.
You and your wife will be in my prayers each night.
I’m speechless
Wow, talk about heaping the stress on your shoulders! Get sleep. Lots of sleep. And know we’re sending positive energy and many prayers for you and your wife.
But you cannot look to Italy and make assumptions regarding our healthcare structure. There are several major differences. First off they have a single payer system. To make that have any chance of succeeding they have to cut costs. Hospitals and staff become less available. Their outbreak was localized to heavily populated areas in the North, while the South had very few cases. I don't know if this is still the case or not.Italy has a population median that is almost 10 years higher than our median. They have customs that see a lot more touching and kisses shared with each other, than we as a nation practice. Italians smoke more than do Americans now. But I think the biggest issues are the ones I mentioned first, single payer health system, less facilities, fewer doctors meant the system reached overload capacity much sooner than we would
But like I said it is a concern and something to watch carefully.
I agree. And our CFR is over 3% at the moment, not good.
Not if they can help it. “The economy is not meant” change 15 day guidelines =
= All Quiet on the Western Front
Don’t feed the trolls, lol
Scary, if so.
Wayne Newton concert at Grand Falls Casino postponed amid COVID-19 concerns (Iowa, 3/23/20)
He never referred to Wuhan Virus as a hoax, he referred to the flubros in the MSM of perpetrating a hoax by telling people it was no big deal.
That Trump was a racist for cutting off China because the CCP-WHO and the -praise China-CDC advised against travel restrictions as overreacting (the same China now imposing travel restrictions of their own that apparently aren’t racist to the same MSM, even though they are blatantly racist)
It’s much more insidious than that. When the health “care” system, itself becomes a/the vector. Inside outward
That Wuhan math is like common core, it doesn’t matter if the numbers are right, Lol
