Coronavirus

[IamNY]

From what i understand its the problem in Italy and New York even at the moment. A lot of peoples COULD survive but die because decisions are made to heal other patients who are younger, have better chances to live etc. The system is overload and can't process everybody.

HM, this is not the case in NY or anywhere else in the USA. It was a fake news article found on CNN which suggested that hospitals would have to reconsider their DNR (do not resuscitate) protocols due to potential overcrowding. It was put out there to take advantage of the ventilator shortage. Shortage of ventilators, people need them to breath, hospital decides your not worthy or makes you sign a DNR, and let's put out a bullshit story to scare people to advance the fear of the shortage of ventilators. Yes, there is technically a ventilator shortage. It's a shortage because we are stockpiling the ones we have to be ready for the greater need in the future. So technically, right now, today, there is no need for the extra ventilators. We are looking everywhere to purchase them and are building them here so that hopefully we don't ever run out.

CNN decided to scare the shit out of us for no reason. This could happen, but let's hope it never gets to that point.

I am not sure I under stand why this guy is not doing virtual Church services online........is there anything preventing him and his parishioners from doing so apart from ignorance of virtual religious service software?

It's a whole lot easier to get cash in the collection basket than have a parishioner at home type in a credit card number that will get declined for being maxed out.

The light at the end of the tunnel is when we see the number of cases start to go down, we are not at the peak yet.

But it can very well happen very shortly. Unfortunately.

As it happened in Italy. Remember Italy's not a third world country. Their healthcare system is up to par if not better then in the US. But they got completely flooded. Spain is probably worst but we do not get all the data I think.

Also it's not all about getting the ventilators. You need all the people to operate them who know what they are doing. You need beds and space. So I am afraid CNN was not to scare the shit for no reason. There was a reason.

Seriously?

The postus should lead by example. Trump today on Twitter praised the audience rating of his press conference. What else do you need to realize that this ass hole is unfit to lead such a crisis? Nurse are going to work short of supplies.

Get this fucking jerk out of the way please!

Not sure what a postus is ... new made up term by the Fake Media?

Thank God for Twitter and OUR POTUS' ability to break through the 'noise' and mountain of misinformation lobbied at him on a daily basis by the targeted and biased media ....

My hunch is if the White Obama leading Canada was treated similarly and reacted the same -- he would be praised for his actions.

We in America HAD a, how you say ... "F'ing Jerk" for 8 long years .... you get yours now for how long?

With posting video like this you simply discredit yourself completely.

By the way a postus is a potus with a typo. Thanks for bringing up but stop seeing fake media everywhere it will make you sick.

Cheers,

So I am afraid CNN was not to scare the shit for no reason. There was a reason.

Not according to the White House coronavirus response coordinator:

“Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, said during a briefing on Thursday the country doesn't need a blanket DNR for coronavirus patients.”

The reason CNN ran the article was to tarnish the administration.

Dr. Birx said a blanket DNR wasn’t needed.

I love NOLA’s mayor. doesn’t cancel Mardi Gras and blames Trump cause the federal government in USA didn’t give any red flag warnings, LOL! WTF?

Well NOLA’s about to be another shit show, all for the sake of hot chics being able to flash their boobies for beads.

 

[OnJustALark]

Remember the LAST bozo mayor that dubbed NOLA as "The Chocolate City" and blamed the Federal Government for HIS ineptness .... Illinois has another one, and a Governor too ... runs O'Hare but blames Federal Government for them not doing their own jobs properly .... be like any one o those that post here having and owning a business but blaming someone else cuz they screwed up ....

Some people here like to fan the flames of hysteria ...

I need to back down on some comments i made earlier. The more i know about this and public health i think we will no reopen our school until a vaccine is ready. That means no school next year as well.

Rapid testing and relief medicine will help ease of the restrictions but no school, no concert, sports crowd, parade, dance club, etc etc for all remaining of 2020 and well into 2021.

Traveling?? If all passengers can get tested pre-boarding i guess.

How can we view this otherwise?

Corona Virus and haircut

Am I the only one who will anger if I ever see François Legault with a haircut before the end of this crisis?

 

[2fast2slow]

im lucky i had one just before this crisis started. how can that not be an essential service?

 

[EagerBeaver]

I heard some encouraging news this morning. US pharmaceutical companies using artificial intelligence have developed a vaccine for Covid-19. It needs to be tested on humans. With greasing of wheels by FDA we are looking at 3-6 months before the vaccine is on the market. We just need to hang on until then.

Jal you sound like you`ve given up hope for the near future....that can only mean that we are near to bottoming out of this disaster, at least in the West.
By June Europe and North America will be recovering and Africa and parts of Asia and S.A. will be devastated. Brazil in particular will be hard hit, not even sparing the indigenous population in the Amazon.

Am I the only one who will anger if I ever see François Legault with a haircut before the end of this crisis?

Good one curly. How the hell can I go 3 months without a hair cut / Maybe I`ll shave my head .
Talking about shaving do you think that inactive escorts are still shaving their pussy ? Ya maybe for social media.

 

[sene5hos]

For sure, ya for social media.
Or the escorts don't shave their pussy
Maybe he's going to have more that will keep their pussy natural.
Maybe it's time to start a new fashion?

We'll see !!

Today's update from Germany's DW:

https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-latest-us-death-toll-surpasses-chinas/a-52963155

"14:50 The Health Service Executive in Ireland has issued guidelines on safe sex and masturbation during the pandemic.
According to the advice, people should only be sexually active with someone they live with and who does not have the coronavirus or symptoms of it. In addition, it is advised to avoid kissing anyone outside your household or who has symptoms of the virus, such as a dry cough or fever.
New York City, one of the hardest-hit coronavirus cities in the world, has issued similar advice.
Its guidelines suggest it is best to have sex only with people close to you and that masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex.
British HIV/AIDS charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) released a statement last week saying the need to keep two metres from anyone "has to include not hooking up for sex."
Dating site statistics in the UK show people are sending more messages online to meet new people, flirt, and swap explicit images. In France, porn sites have been reporting 50% more traffic since the country went into lockdown in the middle of March."

Tony Fauci has said that any vaccine worth using will take at least 12-18 months and that’ll be a world record if it happens. To date, the world’s track record w/ vaccines has been poor. Our best immediate hope is therapeutics/drugs that can speed up recovery or lessen symptoms of Covid-19.

The next 2 weeks will be rough. Apart from New York, other major epicentres r likely to emerge in Chicago, Detroit & NoLa.

In Italy, if Covid-19 continues spreading quickly in the poorer South, it’ll make Lombardy look like a picnic.

Over in the original Covid-19 epicentre of Wuhan, suspicions r high that China’s government had been hiding information about asymptomatic Covid-19 carriers.

Sigh, I’m depressing myself. Planned to stress bake but I hear there’s a freakin yeast shortage :doh:
