Israeli medical doctor Gai Peleg told Israeli television that in northern Italy the orders are not to allow those over 60 access to respiratory machines

Hence the global “overreaction” everyone’s complaining about. meh economy
It has been obvious for a while that we have been lied to repeatedly, at least early on.
I still want to know how you weld to a wooden door frame.
Perhaps leaving the over 60 in the community is reason for higher death rates by not separating infected from family and friends.
I am over 60 and go to my law office every damn day. I am not ready for the glue factory.
Would next year’s flu be alarming?
Fools come in all shapes, sizes and colors... :(
"As his department receives coronavirus patients who are terminally ill the focus is to allow patients to meet loved ones and communicate with them during their last moments despite the quarantine regulations."Bring Out Your DeadOH MY GOD!
Any questions as to why little Italy has over 50,000 cases????
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old farts life, it's worth it.
The FR denial squad must not be up yet.
Every post they show up. The person was sick. Its anecdotal. This is no big deal. Reopen tomorrow.
Denial. Normalcy Bias. Ignorance. Or they are still thinking of this is political or economic terms.
Welcome to National Socialism.
Grim evidence taken out of context.
Here is the context.
Italy is the basket case of Europe; a heavily socialized state with Socialized Medicine. Italy is on the brink of default and has been for decades.
What happens when you have socialized medicine and your country is on the edge of bankruptcy? RATIONING OF MEDICAL CARE
Italy has the second oldest population in the World. That population has a high tendency to smoke heavily.
Maybe it isnt COVID-19 that is causing Italys high death rate but socialism.
What will happen in New York when they run out of ventilators?
How do they decide who lives and dies?
Over 70 for sure will be dead. Pre-existing conditions? Maybe.
“well what is the point going to hospital...probably why the chinese welded their people in their houses”
Agree - if they went out, they were spewing virons like mad...and no hospital room for them. So they kept them welded-in, at least until those huge hospices were completed (what they called ‘hospitals’).
Difficult to see other options, after you let the FluBros have their way for too long.
You get creative.
My wife is a Respiratory Therapist. There has been a study that demonstrated that up to Four patients can be maintained by one ventilator machine.
It is not approved by the FDA to do this but if it saves lives you do it and deal with the FDA later.
How do they decide who lives and dies?.
Battlefield Triage. You do the best with what you have.
My point in my above post is; dont be panicked by Italys situation when it does not apply to what is going on in the US.
“I am trying to find an article about old medicine found in a shuttered store in a western town - that stock received in the 1950s -still in their shipping boxes, all expired decades ago. They were tested and almost everyone of them where over 90% still effective!”
There’s a handful of drugs which become dangerous if stored for a long time, but the worst case for the vast majority of drugs is that they become less effective or ineffective.
I’ve been on blood pressure meds that are 4 years old*...working fine.
*I used a number of techniques to build up a decent supply of them over the years (because I’m paranoid), which ‘forces’ me to consume my older supply continuously.
“will you stop with the dramatics....nobody says this isn’t a serious virus”
Actually THEY DID* - why do you think they kept reciting the number of people dying each year from influenza?
*not as much now, since the number of dead is closing in on the number dying from influenza, so now they’re bitching about the attempts at trying to keep our country from becoming another Wuhan.
I meant the over 60 who are very sick.
I dont I know.... throughout all but the the most recent history, 60 wouldve been considered a damn good run.
Italian 60 is American 75
Good reason to obtain and keep truthful history books on every topic, and use them to teach the young ones. They’re killing the old ones who have wisdom and knowledge. That is how you got an Idiocracy. No I would not be surprised if this was biowarfare, and meant to kill the wise ones. Weren’t the Great Halls of Science working on exactly that kind of weapon a few years ago? What will kill particular groups of people?
I’m reaching Bath-House-Barry-Era levels of disgust and cynicism today.
