But New York, which screwed up and waited very long, basically until they had a blow-up, didn’t overwhelm the hospitals. They didn’t run out of ICU, or ventilators. We were able to build extra hospital space, and most of it went unused.
We needed to flatten the curve so that idiots could make a living telling us that we never needed to flatten the curve. And it worked.
and HCQ may be the thing that is helping keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, which means we had the means to not have to lock down so much.
*So just have to ask the men here. How many times has your wife or girlfriend refused any interaction. I’m up to 4 now.*
The subject came up once, last week. We did the deed. We’re good for a month. :)
*“interaction”?*
Sex. He means sex.
They seem like their health care system was quite stressed by the outbreak they had and are having even though they did not get totally overrun thanks to the swift action of President Trump and his team. The social distancing mitigation also seems to have made a very large difference.
Quite. The only official step that was a factor: school closing.
Yes the state issued “state of emergency” and “shelter in place” orders, but frankly - most didn’t care. We all just stopped congregating. It was only the ending of compulsory attendance in the viral stewpot of public schools that actually changed anything, it did give everyone a simultaneous tipping point.
If you WANT to go socialize, few locales will stop you.
Short video from Facebook:
True. People talking about phony numbers and then the real numbers aren’t close.
Amen! Trump is still talking about 500,000 lives saved! Where does he get this number from? He is depending on his ‘experts’ and not admitting that this has been a giant hoax. You cannot shut down an entire nation and send them some money and think the nation can survive.
Now it isn’t enough to ‘flatten the curve’ we have to see it moving downward!
“Sex. He means sex.”
That’s what I thought, but I wanted him to say it.
He’s essentially arguing that any success of social distancing is evidence it was never needed.
Sort of like arguing if you evacuate a flood zone before the flood hits and there are fewer casualties as a result, that’s proof the evacuation was never needed.
