Covid-19

BC always being so progressive.

Wearing masks could help you avoid major illness even if you get coronavirus, experts say

Updates: Bay Area county to fine businesses up to $10,000 for violating order

Death panels arrive in TX. Guess who will die at home? Funny, after years of chest pounding that the left would impose death panels to manage healthcare, I don't hear the wales of outrage from the right now that they are really here.

Survival potential will determine whether South Texas county hospital takes in COVID-19 patients

Survival potential will determine whether South Texas county hospital takes in COVID-19 patients

In a stunning admission of how dire the COVID-19 situation is in South Texas, the health authority for one border county on Tuesday announced they have formed an ethics committee that will screen a…

As stated, it's "triage" and the reason is given, the system is over burdened and they have no place to put them. This was predicted to happen.

Yup and it's done all the time without a board. If you have 1 ECMO machine and 3 people need it you get to make a decision. We've always lived in a land of limited resources. Most people simply aren't aware of it because we don't often reach the margins.

I don't envy the people having to make these decisions.

It's routine in combat as well. If we had ample resources they'd try to save everyone, even the effective dead ones; they get to bill you

Sometimes it's easier, enough personnel to code 1 person and you have a gang banger and their victim, easy choice. 22 year old dad with gastric cancer with an 18 month old and a 12 y/o hit by a car. Some of the decisions stick with you.

I'm concerned for all the people out of work because of Covid. Hunger is a powerful motivator. Plus the whole country is a tinder box right now. The US and the FED have spent near 6 trillion on the problem with no end in sight... people are becoming unglued.
Are we near total collapse? Is the US at the doorstep of calamity? And will the dispensaries stay open until the bitter end?

My state just had a very bad new case report.

Tune in next week when

A couple days ago Pennsylvania was the only dark green state on the CNN map they show every day to see if cases are going up or down compared to a week ago. Down 50%+ is dark green. The very next fucking day it's red. Up 50%+ compared to a week earlier. WTF?

Be nice to have honest, objective news again like 50 years ago. And accurate current statistics too.

Be nice if the covid-19 stats were like sabermetrics in baseball. There are so many analyticals in MLB you can almost tell if a guy scratched his nuts before his 14th home run. And which hand he did it with.

I want to see a covid stat map on TV each day that shows total cases, deaths, percentage of full recoveries, percentage of limited recoveries, estimated live cases and estimates of how many cases have been statistically missed because of lack of tests (CDC says 10X to 24X depending on area and positive test percentages in a particular area). And that's just for starters.

I'm not prone to conspiracy theories one iota, but I feel like I'm dodging a spun narrative every time I watch the news to get some simple info we should all have access to. WTF already? TV talking heads don't have to tell me the president is great and they don't have to tell me he's an asshole. I guarantee I'll figure it out completely on my own.

We had a local county by county and zip code by zip code map for PA for months. They took access away a couple weeks ago. Real fucking nice. What do they think they're hiding?

I hate this fucking shit.

I keep hearing Jack Webb's voice from Dragnet saying, 'just the facts, ma'am.

How hard can it be?

Did I mention I hate this fucking shit?

Lots of doubt about the death statistics in some states. Governors suppressing death reporting. We’ll here more on this.
