That happens with the best medical system in the world and testing.
Wow. What an awful thing to say and wish.
Well, you’re just stupid.
Amazed, frankly, that someone would post such banal nonsense.
Looking for attention I guess.
Did it ever cross your mind that the Govt would ‘PAY YOU’ to take care of your parents or your parents get GOVT money for YOUR kids?
I realize there are some good ‘foster homes’ but how many are out there just for the ‘payday’.
Interesting point made on another ‘string’ about how ‘they’ are threatening jail and fines if one doesn’t buckle down to the Govt orders of ‘house arrest’ BUT the same ‘govt’ is releasing PRISONERS from jail because of the ‘beervirus’...
MADNESS!!!!!
“the flubros will be asked for papers just like the rest of us:”
And no doubt will complain relentlessly and insist on the right to jeopardize others.
well, exactly. Why are they paying people when obviously all they have to do is ask Americans politely (ok, maybe some not so politely of the tide pod people) and we’ll do our patriotic duty, as you said, for free. Isn’t quarantine a function of each state’s health dept anyway? Looks like another busywork budget-justifying slot.
oh look, the Times is carrying water for the CCP. How commie of them. Beijing heard it on the news with everybody else.
Drivil and Drool Alert.
China Created a Fail-Safe System to Track Contagions. It Failed.
, the reporting was supposed to have been automatic. Instead, hospitals deferred to local health officials who, over a political aversion to sharing bad news, withheld information

An enforced quarantine reduce the R0 by “X”.
An unenforced one by by (X-Y).
As long as it’s enough to keep the Healthcare system from being overwhelmed it’s enough. As much freedom as can be maintained is best.
And federalism is freedom.
( I admit plagues are a strain on federalism.)
Yes!
CALIFORNIA Data points update from this morning:
Over the past four days, the number of
intensive care patients in the state has tripled — from 200 to 597 [up from 410 on Sat]
the number of hospitalizations has nearly doubled, from 746 to 1,432 [up from 1066 on Sat].
The confirmed cases climbed to more than 6,400 [7,404 after print]
and deaths to 142 [144 after print].
Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary of health and human services, said modeling suggests the state will need 50,000 new hospital beds by mid-May.

I hope Ghaly is wrong.
Taxpayers Paid Millions to Design a Low-Cost Ventilator for a Pandemic. Instead, the Company Is Selling Versions of It Overseas.
This past September, with the design of the new Trilogy Evo Universal finally cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, HHS ordered 10,000 of the ventilators for the Strategic National Stockpile at a cost of $3,280 each.....
...“We sell to whoever calls,” said a saleswoman at a small medical-supply company on Staten Island that bought 50 Trilogy Evo ventilators from Philips in early March and last week hiked its online price from $12,495 to $17,154.

not only did Dutch Royal Phillips do us wrong, but lookie at a price gouger who needs to have a little visit from the DA’s office.
Of course. That’s what all uneducated (uneducated, ignorant) people say (the original definitions not the current SJW ones). You’ve shown who you are and it’s noted.
I’m stupid, banal (do you even know what that means lol, apparently not) and attention seeking. Ok then.
You apparently have a problem with disagreement. Sure you ain’t a democrat liberal? Or just a so called conservative, nanny state liberal pretending to be a conservative? Either way, you’re no Conservative.
I don’t post for people like you and the posse here. I post for real conservatives who read here. I ain’t preachin to your echo chamber.LMAO!
Apologize for giving short shrift to your point.
Big picture is more significant to me.
:LOL!
Could you possibly demean yourself more?
A "storey" indeed.
It seems to be the first of a series.
The Central Committee blames the underlings. Many will swallow these lies whole, particularly the fellow travellers of socialism.
This party line is a necessary target for Trmp's derision. Have no concern for your "relationship" with President Xi, Mr. President.
Trump knows exactly what happened. Trump should hit President Xi with as much of it as he can without revealing sources and methods.
no problem. More big picture:
Guardian:
Australians in their 20s have more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other age group ... the group most likely to travel or party with returned travelers
But Xi’s China is buying US food nad producing goods US wants.
yes, he IS a rocket scientist ….
Reardon said he placed two magnets inside his nostrils, and two on the outside. When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside stuck together. Unfortunately, the researcher then attempted to use his remaining magnets to remove them.
“At this point, my partner who works at a hospital was laughing at me,” he said. “I was trying to pull them out but there is a ridge at the bottom of my nose you can’t get past.
“After struggling for 20 minutes, I decided to Google the problem and found an article about an 11-year-old boy who had the same problem. The solution in that was....
I think a lot of older people, boomers and those after the boomer generation, put their parents into nursing homes like parents put their kids into daycare.
*****************************************************************************
Well, I’m a boomer and when my Dad had a stroke, I brought him to live with me and took care of him for the next 5 years. The only requirement I had was that he co-operate with the Physical Therapist.
It was essential that he have the muscle power to help with transfers from the bed to the chair etc. He was 6 ft. 4” and weighed close to 200 lbs. I could not have managed him otherwise.
And I’m a boomer. So I don’t take kindly to your characterization. And just because someone is in a nursing home, doesn’t mean that the family did it. Hubby’s Mom decided that she wanted to move to a home as she kept falling and didn’t like having to call her son to help her.
Both her daughter and I offered our homes, but she declined.
In addition, Hubby’s brother and sister-in-law chose to sell their home and move to an assisted living facility.
I also understand that neither of my children are financially able to quit their jobs and take care of me or hubby should something bad happen to us.
Judge not everyone by your prejudicial perceptions.
