Latest number is over 4000. 47,000 confirmed cases.
Freepers don’t smoke?
Or get cancer?
Is it that easy to be insensitive when you’re not the one under the oxygen tent?
How do you know?
You think your car is airtight? Did you leave the vents open? Windows down?
The virus has a 3 hour airtime.
Italy reached a new high today reporting 4200 coronavirus deaths in a single day. The Chinese government has rendered more deaths in one day in Italy through the pandemic they covered up and facilitated than the US suffered on 9/11 and unfortunately there are more to come. I would not be surprised if the Chinese communist government now try to create a narrative to call it the Italian virus since Italy suffers the most from it so they must have started it
So here’s the thing - testing kits were in short supply here and in Italy.
Only people they’re sure that have the virus are being tested (like here)
So as the tests increase and we confirm the numbers, of course the number goes up.
What’s NOT being counted are those asymptomatic or showing weak signs that are being judged presumptive. I, personally, know of 3 people who are considered presumptive here in the states that have been refused tests. One had lung issues but she’s recovering - the other 2 had flu symptoms and recovered without incident.
It’s wildly believed in the medical establishment that a good chunk of the US already has it and most are recovering.
But what do you say when the government says that they have to call martial law because the “numbers are going up” because MORE people are being tested for a pandemic thats already close to saturating the country.
I don’t trust the government in good times and I sure as hell aren’t starting to now.
No chuckee - according to World O Meter Italy reporting 627 new deaths. Over 4000 total deaths.
You’re just plain wrong, and I say that respectfully. There are those of us who have spent our entire adult lives trying to prevent people from suffering or dying from various diseases and conditions. The current situation is very different. It’s the lung involvement that is the biggest issue. If you can’t oxygenate, you die. It’s that simple.
I see no identification of the hospital, and a man identified as an anesthesiologist wearing no mask. None of these persons seems to be able to speak English, and the women purportedly doing testing do not have minimal hair control. There is no identification of the interviewer,either.
We have good friends by Sig that we can’t find
Tell me about I work in a hospital ER in southern NJ. Last night I was informed by my supervisor I may have been exposed to Corona five days ago. I have to be monitored for ten days. So far I feel ok. But I’m worried. And praying.
“No chuckee - according to World O Meter Italy reporting 627 new deaths. Over 4000 total deaths.”
Yes, you are correct. I should have said over 4000 deaths to date, still in excess of the deaths on 9/11 and unfortunately climbing.
Prayers up
The country of Italy currently lists 4,032 deaths due to Coronavirus.
My retort (even though you weren't talking to me) is to congratulate you on your good fortune. Not everyone is as fortunate; some draw the short straw, enough to fill the hospitals in Italy, and probably here unless our panic came in time to flatten the contagion.
I sure hope you're right on two counts: 1) that we're over-reacting, and 2) if I catch it, it will just be the flu for me, too.
Thank you so much for your kindness and prayers. I trust in the Lord.
Who says I am being insensitive? I just watched my father choke to death on his own phlegm two months ago. I am just pointing out what could be a reality with those patients.
I think the data has been posted several times on here from Italy and the vast, vast majority of those patients had pre-existing conditions.
Here’s the problem for Italy. The cases are moving to the south of the country, where their medical facilities are not as good as the ones in the north.
Hear-wrenching.
