I know a lot of those ICU Drs, ICU nurses, and Resp. Techs
I have watched, real time, their changing awareness
and adaptive approaches to this damn virus.
Never call them stupid, rigid, or inept in my presence...
I have watched Drs talk about it on Texags site. Yes, they have had to adapt as they have learned more about the virus.
This is starting to look more like a cardiovascular disease as a DR in Italy was warning about weeks ago
Do you support the governmental response to this virus?
The models they have updated were preloaded with a ton of guessed-at data, all of which presumed that corona would be the next ebola, which no corona has ever approached in severity. The governmental policy started as a reasonable approach to keeping the virus from overwhelming the medical system, but as real data is determined, the purpose of the governmental response is transmogrifying from “save the system” to “save every individual life”, which is not an achievable or admirable goal.
I know that the medical professionals working on the front lines are fighting as hard as they can, but I also see that the government is doing everything it can to destroy everyone else, and in some cases, to deploy the Wu Flu into nursing homes where it can wreak additional havoc on the elderly (as in NY).
My issues with the models are the political response based on them, given the huge amounts of unknown data that was presumed to be worst case - despite knowing that previous corona virus outbreaks (even SARS) were not nearly as bad as they predicted this one to be.
