Nebraska’s first coronavirus patient participated in a basketball tournament in Fremont and visited a VFW post in Omaha in the week before she went to an Omaha hospital with symptoms of coronavirus disease.
Among those who may have been exposed are more than 30 employees of the Methodist Health System the woman first went to Methodist Women’s Hospital in west Omaha and was transferred to Methodist Hospital in central Omaha.
compare this to the PPE that they are wearing at the nursing home in WA
actually homes
4 now
Folks getting it early will get full medical help.
Six months from now might be more like this ...

This person is in good hands
I believe she was sent to a facility testing new cutting edge CV drugs.
Looks like “just the flu” if I ever saw it.
The health care system will be overloaded in a few weeks in certain hot spots (metro Seattle, SF, LA post marathon (!), New York, Boston)
Good luck flying large numbers of these kinds of patients to hospitals with open beds elsewhere around the country...
DM says it is a premier facility.
These numbers show a US death rate of 4.75% versus the infection rate as of today.
This. I just don’t see how this level of care is scalable.
Glad I had my thyroid cancer surgery last month. Hospitals are going to be maxed out soon. “but it’s just the flu”
was a mild case then BOOM....sounds like the report out of the nursing home today....
A chest CT scan conducted yesterday showed the coronavirus is evolving into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ADRS).
According to doctors, her symptoms were quite mild until this Thursday, when she arrived at a local emergency room.
This is ridiculous. It mentions that the woman was in a Special Olympics event, and from what little I can learn, it appears to me that she may have had Downs Syndrome. This is a condition that predisposes people to various respiratory problems, and once upon a time few people with this condition lived much beyond their twenties.
Even so, whether the patient has other conditions or not, sealing her up in a plastic bag is ridiculous. This is not a disease from outer space or even an ugly hemorrhagic fever like Ebola or yellow fever. The common cold is a corona virus.
LOL. That pavement won’t get the flu now!
Talk about a bummer experience.
FDNY orders firefighters to STOP responding to 911 calls involving coronavirus symptoms and instead send lower-paid paramedics
“The common cold is a corona virus.” Sigh.
