This is both surprising and scary. On average, CV patients in MA have only 2 close contact associations. Yet, they are still getting sick. Either they aren't being completely honest with where they have been (maybe a hidden lifestyle with frequent contacts) or it is a lot easier to get environmentally than thought.

They are concerned about actual aerosolization.

I think I may have accidently slipped into the Let's Hate on Republican thread.. Sorry I'll see My way to the door...
I have no political affiliation. Unfortunately I have a medical education and we are currently in a disaster that has cost thousands of lives needlessly. There was evidence that this was coming. In an abundance of caution all we had to do was lay in a massive amount of PPE that was available at the time. This is a disaster that did not have to be this bad.

What is PDB?

I have been to the ER's, noone is there.....Billions of $$$$'s on testing sites that noone has to visit. We all know what's up. May I Leave now?

The other guy, awesome human. He was a lineman and cut a 65k volt cable and it bounced back into his face.... He will be missed most.

NEW YORK — The 40-foot trailer has been there for weeks, parked outside the Leo F. Kearns Funeral Home in Queens. Its refrigerator hums in an alley next to a check-cashing establishment. Thirty-six bodies, one atop the other, are stacked on shelves inside.

I've had a multitude of coworkers get this, 6 of whom got it from the same patient, shared exposure episode (intubation with no filter). At the time we weren't filtering but you can bet your ass we are now! One of my friends was admitted to ICU, but she came off the vent after 2.5wks and is still recovering slowly. The number of deaths I've personally witnessed directly related to COVID-19 here in Michigan, even at my small hospital, are no small number.

Yesterday I went to the local gun shop with my mask on and this gentlemen wanted to argue with me about whether covid is real or not (he hasn't "seen" it). I guess it may seem like a ghost unless you've actually seen it, dealt with it, fought it, or felt it in your life. I remember seeing the first chest XR and CT scans and thinking , oh shit what is this? That was mid to late-February or so, back when we had a relatively small number of deaths. It's been 2 months and look where we are. I'm so thankful we have this shelter in place order because I know that the cases would've skyrocketed otherwise. But still, we haven't gained control.

Meanwhile, I've had the same N95 mask at work for over 45 days; what used to be considered disposable is now indispensable!

Stay safe y'all.

yours truly is sitting in an isolation ward awaiting the coronavirus test results. Won’t know for another 24 hours. What I do know is I have double pneumonia. Loaded up with antibiotics and steroids.

These nurses here are terrified of what’s going to happen.

There has been a coronavirus break out in a prison not too far from here. The prisoners are next-door to me and they take up six rooms on my hallway. There are corrections officers all over the place. Some of them aren’t even wearing masks.

You guys can think it’s crazy. Go ahead and think there’s nothing going on. I’m here to tell you it’s for real.02BDD99D-5DE2-4196-BB10-6F36EF29D61F.jpeg
