I have had my doubts about the supposedly over-crowded, flowing over media reports of the hospitals in those two cities. I frankly don’t believe it is as bad as they are reporting.

But, for citizen reports to not be accused of wrong day they filmed compared to the day live news reporters were supposedly on the scene, they should time stamp, date their video.

PDT can lead them to water (Comfort) but can’t make them drink (bring Patients) That is on Cuomo / Willhiem Deloser to sort out with their own people on the ground directing traffic. It would appear to be major fail OR Chicken Little Cuomo was just crying wolf about all his urgent NEEDS (to date)

That’s what I said in a previous post.
We will know how dire the “war zone” (media term) situation is based on how full the ship is.

That was terrible, terrible lazy reporting by OAN. Two days ago, the NY Slimes reported that the Navy policy was changing and that patients would be brought aboard untested after only a questionnaire and temperature check. They would be isolated then tested onboard. That is precisely what happened here and it was a matter of policy and not an accident. Our lazy media fell for this story because nobody reads anything these days. Here is the NYT story: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/nyregion/ny-coronavirus-usns-comfort.html

At today's press briefing, Amb. Birx suggested people go to Healthdata.org to get up to date, detailed data and projections. It's a great site. Here's a direct link to the Covid-19 stuff. You can see national or state-by-state data and projections. It's very illuminating.

It is great to have such detailed information available to the public. AFAIK, it’s far more detailed than anything we have in Canada.

At today’s briefing, Oregon was praised for sharing ventilators with New York. I checked the data — the (projected) need for ventilators will peak in New York on April 7; but, not until May 1, in Oregon. That means that sharing among states could make a huge difference.

Ok, Snow Digger, could you predict the future? No? So shut up.

One has to wonder why we’re not seeing videos of the mayhem. We see videos of everything.

I also haven’t noticed a large amount of obituary notices online either.

“when people are cooped up at home there are fewer car accidents, workplace accidents, etc.”

Excellent point.

“I am glad Trump sent the ships because it gives lie to the claims of being overrun.”

I can see your point. let them hoot and holler and when it doesn’t happen, their credibility is shot.

No one is shooting video in the hospital. They get fired on the spot. Plus no visitors. Certainly no camera crews are allowed in there.

That did sound like what you were doing, and it still does.

Why should I? I never made any predictions.

Okay. Hang him by his ankles. Really high. With a rotting rope. Over a pit filled with venomous snakes.
