“My contacts here tell me the hospitals are empty. I have clients that have been doctors since before the internet.”

I have friends and relatives that have been doctors since before the internet. At least one of my doctor friends, 50+ years, doctor for 45+ years, would tell me if this was a hoax -or- the apocalypse. They say you and those like you are (paraphrasing) badly mistaken. Their actual words were less kind.

Many hospitals are mostly empty because they are ramping for an exponential increase in the number of former FluBros needing their services.

The hospital in my town is a CCP-19 treatment center. 1 customer so far to my knowledge. Awaiting an influx of de Blasio’s victims.

Atlanta, Albany (no, the other one), Boston, LA, NO, NYC and other places are already saturated. All those empty hospitals are to prevent the collapses of the HCS of those and other cities. Cases are to be moved to new hospitals to keep the full ones from imploding. Over the next few days there will be increasing reports of patients being moved out to other facilities to lighten the load.

They did that in Iran, BTW, and it caused a riot complete with arson of the facility with the relocated patients. The did it in China and it caused riots. They did it in Italy and it caused unrest. Other places as well.

We’re Americans. We’ll see how it goes.

Boris Johnson’s sister-in-law has tonight said she has also tested positive for Covid-19.

Chris Martenson mentioned that the Phillipines was lying big time about their CV cases and hospitalizations (and almost certainly CV deaths).

Here is one article that gives some of the details:

I heard this guy earlier today and he seemed full of crap.

Tucker definitely has a problem booking quality guests. Unfortunately the format of his show includes ridiculing the guest, so no one who cares about their image would want to appear. Most of them just want to be on TV.

“mortality rate is higher than New York’s”

Because of the way they are doing testing. A lot of non-serious cases missing from the stats.

It’s going to end badly.

Badly enough that when they do the census, before or after the peak, will make a statistical difference.

Which hospitals? You would be doing many health systems a favor by listing them. If local then they can transfer them to reduce their loads.

Put up.

There is a doctor right here on FR who has said he personally wrote prescriptions for patients that were not infected, as a "just in case" type measure. And he is certainly not alone. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if somewhere near 1% of the population now has a course of HCQ in their medicine cabinet "just in case".

By that chart, 15 out of 16 deaths are actually CCP-19. And only 1/4 are reported as CCP-19 deaths. 1/4.

16 times the normal mortality rate. Multiply the CCP-19 deaths by 15/4.

(For the mathematically challenged: For each death expected based on prior year averages, there are now 16. They report 1 “regular” death and 4 CCP-19 deaths and attribute the other 11 CCP-19 deaths to what ever convenient comorbidity they can.)

That’s regional, for a place with a failed HCS, but what happens as the dominoes start falling?

Way back I said every time we lose containment somewhere it makes containment everywhere that much harder. Same applies to HCS. Every time we lose a HCS all the others are stressed that much more.

That’s why they tore up the roads in Wuhan. Cut off the infected limb rather than lose the whole body.

Costco employees are testing positive for Covid-19. . . Costco, where hundreds of people go weekly to get “essentials.” Now y’all see why this 2 week social distancing isn’t going to end the way y’all think it is.

Forensic pathologists beware: COVID-19 lives on in blood after death
...
“We are used to dealing with contagious pathogens like tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV. COVID-19 is different only in that there is currently no treatment… and it is more resilient in that it sticks around the dead body after death,” Melinek recently told The Times of Israel.

“[COVID-19] is a respiratory pathogen and can be transmitted via respiratory droplets, but also through the blood of a viremic patient. Even though decedents don’t cough, they can expel bodily fluids while they are being moved or transported,” she explained.
...

She added that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) currently does not recommend performing an autopsy in COVID-19 positive patients for diagnosis.

Alana Kinrich, MD @alanamk · Mar 26 This week I learned that PAPR hoods are actually way easier and more comfortable than N95 mask + face shield. You can’t hear so well, but you do get the comedic effect of having to mime at each other while yelling. And blessedly, nothing touches your face. #COVID19
