It means there are already a large number of unfound cases.

Yeah, a lot more cases. Haven’t we been talking about that for about 5 weeks now?

I dropped my wife off to work at her police/fire/EMS job tonight. She sent me a text with info that Idaho now has two confirmed cases. One in the Boise area (west) and the other in eastern Idaho. The eastern Idaho patient is at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC) in Idaho Falls and lives in Blackfoot.

I know exactly what you mean! I don’t want to pay for a lifetime of some chick popping kids out like they are biscuits, and the next generation repeating the cycle.

The workers in China don’t believe their government.
Many ‘China Hands’ I follow say workers are not returning because the workers think the virus is still raging.

Just had an interesting conversation with a relative that works at the local large medical center.

Starting soon they will be sending paramedics out into the community to triage people in their homes. Working in teams, they will be trying to keep the masses from showing up at the hospital, instead doing tests and initial assessments at the home. It reduces back up and ambulance trips. While at the same time, keeping the “riff raff” who can stay at home, at home.

This is the first time this health system has done this.

I found it a fascinating concept and certainly the most proactive thing I’ve seen.

When I asked it they thought they would be busy...they said they were already busy with cases they are pretty sure are “real” but they are waiting on test. Then I heard the numbers in the local hospitals. More than I would have guessed.

—They are emptying the hospital beds to rehab facilities by dismissing the 3 day stay rule for things like broken hips and what not.

I am not saying that they are piling up—in fact the ED has been eerily quiet. The hypochondriacs have been staying home.

—The person said it’s been creepy. Like before a blizzard or hurricane.

—I also heard from another source at another hospital that closing the schools is putting a ton of pressure on the nursing and support staffs. Daycare/Childcare is going to be an issue.

I am not being hyperbolic or trying to generate any reaction. Just suggesting that the preps are escalating. And that is good.

Yeah, but projecting caseloads from a ‘doubling every day’ perspective gives a much worse prediction than using ‘doubling every 6 days’.
As long as one doesn’t misuse the numbers all is fine.

one poster reminded me that it is possible that they lie about who is dead.

Top people might be trying to get off an assassination list

Kelly says there is quite a pronounced uptick in ILI, negative for flu, for Washington, Oregon, Colorado, NJ , Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and California.

Every other year trended down but these states are trending up this week. I bet it’s cv.

I-90. A trucker, maybe? Eating along the highway, touching gas pumps, using public restrooms, etc. But it’s 4 cases. All of the same age. So, other than age and I-90 or just off I-90, how would they be connected?

The way things are, my kids are the ones paying for those kids. Not a happy camper about this.

Anybody that actually believes anything out of China is a fool. They are lying, as they have been all along.

True, but President Trump must take the ChiComs at their word or risk getting all of our drug deliveries from China cut off.

I wonder how old this doc was.

Underlying conditions?
