Some hospitals consider changes to do-not-resuscitate situations amid COVID-19 pandemic https://ktla.com/news/coronavirus/some-hospitals-consider-changes-to-do-not-resuscitate-situations-amid-covid-19-pandemic/

I’ve read about patients being admitted to hospitals not knowing their outcome but immediately requesting DNR’s for fear of facing the inevitable of suffocating to death because of false news reports and rumors that there’s not enough space and equipment.. Also there’s reports of suicide Hotline call rates climbing for obvious reasons.. And my cop friends are telling me domestic violence calls are starting to rise and we are experiencing the same as well. So yeah, I would rather the masses (surely you can’t be referring to the 10-20 of us here reading this thread) be given something positive to look forward to than being scared shitless of there being no hope at all.

The Philippines received their first confirmed case on January 29/30th.. https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/03/09/20/philippines-covid19-coronavirus-cases-patients https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Its climate is considered tropical and is usually hot and very humid. It’s coolest month is January and it’s hottest period of months are between March and May before the rainy season hits in June https://www.travelonline.com/philippines/weather.html Considering that Manila has a population density of 107,000 per sq mile. (New York City by comparison has a population density of 27,500 per sq mile) .....that warm 94 degrees may partially explain why they are only nearing 100 deaths a little over two months time? Rick

It’s just a data tracker list, not someone at CDC reporting it. It may be wrong but it gives us something to hope for.. Maybe for the first time in 36 years in the U.S. a month between April and September becomes the peak month for flu viral cases in the U.S.? But the fact is flu hates the heat and UV light. I’m hoping history holds. It gives me something to hope for. Rick

Right,...For me I’m just going by the CDC’s track of it the previous 36 years here in the U.S. Rick

Its gonna have to hurry to get anywhere near that while at the same time we’re coming into the warm/hot season. Plus today is the start of the nation wide trial with Hydroxychloroquin, Hopefully we see numbers start to drop all over. Rick

China’s Cover Up by 60 Minutes Australia. This has a good timeline of how things progressed. Rick

Agree. It’s not right. Rick

So we’re on the same page then. Rick

This Is How The Automotive Industry Is Stepping Up In The Fight Against COVID-19 https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryancampbell/2020/03/30/critical-healthcare-supplies-are-coming-from-all-corners-of-the-automotive-industry/#6038c2561dc2 Rick

Ok, so are they getting stimulus money and laying everyone off? Rick

LOL...Thank you I removed that. Rick

You mentioned United. Aren’t your talking about United Airlines? Rick

The airline industry is part of our transportation infrastructure. Without it we’re sunk. Still, I’m interested in what it is your concern is. Could you explain a little more what the problem is?. Rick

This is why I raised the question over the complete waste of Nadler asking for $4 Billion for non profit museums. Kennedy Center to stop paying National Symphony Orchestra despite $25 million in coronavirus aid https://www.bing.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com%2famp%2fUS%2fkennedy-center-stop-paying-national-symphony-orchestra-25%2fstory%3fid%3d69874793 Rick

Under Armour to make 500,000 masks. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/490292-under-armour-to-manufacture-500000-face-masks-to-address-coronavirus?amp&__twitter_impression=true Rick

Nope, I’ve not changed my language. This strain of the flu like others will be known and referred by several names. I doubt very few will care down the road which name someone uses as long as it’s defeated. Rick

Wonderful news. The FDA through an “Emergency Use Authorization” approved and authorized doctors to start prescribing Chloroquine Phosphate and Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate.to hospitalized teens and adults. Rick

More positive news, Abbott Launches 5-Minute Virus Test for Use Almost Anywhere https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-03-27/abbott-launches-5-minute-covid-19-test-for-use-almost-anywhere?__twitter_impression=true Rick

You wouldn’t get sick if you’d stop putting your tongue where it doesn’t belong. Rick

Agree. If it simply limits the duration of the virus shedding from an average of 2/3 weeks to a few days or less would be a massive gain. Also I noticed per the Worlometer today that France has realized a near 20 percent recovery rate. Had that percentage held in the U.S. we’d have over 24,000 over it by now. Rick

You mean Chinese Flu Rick Get it right or GTFO! Rick

Besides a lack of reading comprehension you still somehow know better than an entire group of lab- working scientists in France? Its as if your rooting for the Chinese flu to wipe out the world?. Rick

A ten second search about Type A flu finds this from the WebMD website, one of thousands that refer to the Spanish Flu. https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/advanced-reading-types-of-flu-viruses Hard to believe those bastards at WebMD are so ignorant and racist. Rick

Your the same person that shits her pants over the sight or thought of a gun. Do yourself a favor. When you can and when you come out of that fetal position your in you might want to place me on ignore so you don’t have to see my posts. Rick
