“You have drank too much of the media BS my friend”
There is no BS my friend. I live the pandemic everyday.
My wife wears an N95 mask everyday to the hospital. Comes hope every day, takes off scrubs in the garage, heads straight to the shower. Face has indentations from the mask wearing. We hope for the day when this pandemic ends, but it won’t be soon. Nearly every pandemic has multiple waves, this pandemic will likely follow.
I hear the cases of the 24 year old in the hospital “fighting for his life”, the pregnant women who tests positive for the virus when she comes in to deliver.
Austin cases have increased about 50% over the past week. We are expecting the worst is yet to come.
I predict 300,000+ dead by the end of the year. Today, only 109,000.
Lord a mercy
That’s not What I hear from hospital folks I know at Vandy and St Thomas here
It killed their elective surgery business and the incidence and spread has been ten percent of models
They find it a nuisance
I just sat beside a nurse anesthesist Sunday at our rural pool club and discussed this
One of my 13 years olds buddies daddy is an orthopedic surgeon with Tenn Orthopedics and he and I sit and talk when we exchange kids frequently
He sat on my front porch last week and sounded just like most non doomer Freepers over this craziness
For clarification my ex mother in law aged 89 died in Boston two months ago from this as did my Uncle in Mississippi a wwii navy vet aged 94
Both were in nursing homes and neither got quinolones ....sadly
But as far as ravaging hospitals ..not here
And Texas and Tennessee have similar rates of infection
Austin cases have increased about 50% over the past week. We are expecting the worst is yet to come.
Ooooh! You have got me really scared now!
Of course in all of Travis County you have only had 93 deaths from Coronavirus in the past several months. We had that many in King County where we live before the end of March. The deaths in Travis County peaked weeks ago. So grow up or share your BS with people who won't look it up.
My wife is a retired nurse and department head at multi-level skilled facilities. And I with my crews transported sick people with contagious pathogens to the hospital for 25 years. We both volunteered and were paid for work we did over the years at the Life Care Center in Kirkland Washington. If you know your coronavirus history... that was the first place in this country to have deaths.
Everywhere my wife worked I volunteered. The most important thing that could be done each year was to make sure that the residents and patients got their flu shots. If they didn't, we sometimes lost dozens in bad years.
11 people on the fire department that I retired from tested positive back in March. Two weeks later they all tested negative. Only 1 developed symptoms... they were from his seasonal allergies.
The reason you now have “more cases” is because you have more testing going on. Most people who had it around here had no symptoms and those who did could not get tested anyway. You should probably keep your wildly exaggerated fear mongering to yourself. It is not backed by anything other than nonsense from slanted sources and your own confirmation bias.
