True that. I would feel sorry for you but the Idiots in my state gave the rats the Governor, the AG and the SOS. So here we sit.
As you say, the plan is to get those who are already hospitalized by something else (and who are the weakest) out and away from the hospitals who will be handling those who are infectious.
SO.... I guess the President is using the resources of the NAVY to try and protect the WEAKEST and most susceptible in the areas with high density populations. Seems what like we would ask the President to do.
But are they “closed” in ANTICIPATION of COVID-19 cases, or are they actually full of COVID-19 patients? I think that is a very significant distinction.
Well there is the ordering of masks going from 20 million to 300 million at a time
As Trump said yesterday...."someone should take a look at this"
I think I read somewhere (it's been a while) that over 60% of New York city residents are foreign born.. Does that sound right..??
People have been gaslighted into believing the hospitals are overrun with the dead and dying from CORONA-19. The US Navy hospital ships Mercy and Comfort each have 1,000 beds and only 80 beds for intensive care and have been sent to help with the “overloaded hospital system”, as reported by the government and the media.
However, that’s a complete lie.
Colorado State has 1,849 intensive care beds, 11 times that of both ships combined. Colorado has also has 12,558 hospital beds total, or 6 times the beds of both ships.
New York State has 3,000 intensive care beds, 18 times that of both ships combined. New York State also has 73,931 hospital beds in total, or 36 times both ships combined.
In the US, there are 6,146 hospitals with 924,107 hospital beds with 97,776 intensive care beds. The gaslighting of Americans is that two ships of 2,000 beds total and only 160 intensive care beds is absolutely necessary to a hospital system with 462 times the number of beds and 611 times the number of intensive care beds because somehow the virus is overloading the hospital system.
Colorado has had 100 intensive care patients with the virus. That’s it. 100. That number will change, but it isn’t anywhere near the gaslighted emergency the government and media has tried to convince people is happening.
Sure, good point... Not everyone can be 110 or better.. Out of that many folks your going to get your share of 80's and 90's as well......
Stop posting ACTUAL facts. You’ll piss off the doomsayers here on FR!
Yes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic#Epidemiology
United States
Cases 160,881
Deaths 2,975
Recoveries 5,604
[It may be a few weeks before most of those cases have progressed to recovery, longer term disability or death.]
When do the other states start protesting supplies going to these fools who don’t care?
Unless you are sneezing the 6’ rule is nonsense. Even then it does not transmit very easy through the air. It transmits from the hands to your face.
Trump said at today’s presser they’ve asked for real data relative to #s of hospital beds available and #s of ventilators available. Should cut down on the BS fear mongering social media crap.
Hey knock off the real math.
You keep posting real math.
Don’t you know, we are all dying or will die in weeks.
The evil Trump is killing all of us.
Sarcasm off!
*sorry* Bad habit. I’m a bit of a mathematician.
DeBlasio. That one is on you.
*sorry* Bad habit. I’m a bit of a mathematician.
What a surprise!:)
May not be an emergency but the gubermint has to spend the first two trillion somewhere. Why not on motoring around in a hospital ship
Should cut down on the BS fear mongering social media crap.
——————-
then what would the Fearpers have to do all day
Added note is I heard that on average 60% of the beds are occupied normally at any given time.
