“Okay, so the alternative is destroying our economy and becoming a satellite socialist state. Is COVID-19 dangerous enough to merit this ?”
Yes, because we get that result either way (i.e., with mass deaths or without mass deaths).
“I certainly don’t think so, however I do think we should deport all Chinese nationals and ban further entry until their government can demonstrate they can be trusted to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. “
Agree, but kind of silly if we don’t knock it down within our borders first.
Stick enough mics in front of enough people in enough places and bingo!!!! We got a quote. It’s like the lung damage story that, I think, was 30% of 12 people under 40 yrs old had severe lung damage from the virus.
You realize your body has no immunity to this. You might not catch it this time around. It’s not going away anytime soon.
Right..morons here who are smarter than everyone
Majority of the NOLA dead came from one nursing home, much like in Seattle. It really skews the results.
The stat’s from Italy are the deaths are occurring at a median age of 80
There were three of them in our hospital.
Without the tools needed, I guess they could squeeze a bag.
It’s not a matter of training. It’s a matter of quantity.
How do we know that those who recover quickly do not have lasting lung damage?

COPD - Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease is not always caused by being a smoker. I have COPD and never smoked a day in my life. History of getting bronchitis alot as a youngster.
Vast majority of us will catch it sooner or later not matter what we do.
And for the vast majority of us, it will be minor.
“Doesn’t everyone know it’s bad?”
Not the “its just flu crowd”, it “only attacks asians” crowd or the Italy is a 3rd world country crowd.
Did I miss anyone?
In the next week or 2 they are going to find out how wrong they were.
How many and from where? Bottom line is nobody can hide or manufacture the dead. Right now I am looking at 297 dead - with as far as I know... or anyone else knows - with an average age around 80. Are we to collapse our economy and have 10 times the suicides over this virus?
You mean an•ec•do•tal, right?
adj. Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis.
This is a first hand account, based on this person's experience. The initial source may be questionable, but the N.O. Times is a reputable news source, which I have no doubt verifies its sources.
They could not answer them. They would direct you to the DPH in your state.
That is my wife’s healthcare systems response. Nationally.
There are Hippa violations involved, and there is no reason to provide that information, on a daily basis. They already report it to the state. They honestly have better things to do with their time. The DPH should be compiling it from their area and making it public.
Reporting that stuff, the number of inpatients, and bed availability would evoke panic. And the flubros don’t want panic, remember.
Yes we will find out.
Yeah, that one.
Dead is dead...but I get you're not a nursing home resident.
