COVID-19 Check-in

Read this sourced from FDNY logs. If a person self quarantines with suspected Covid-19 and dies at home they are not being counted as a virus death. In NYC the hospitals are only testing if someone has difficulty breathing. This suggests the number is understated. Further there are indirect deaths that are not counted from delayed response time due to call volume, people fearing to go to hospital because of disease. One example of this is a doctor saying more appendicitis patients are waiting until it ruptures before seeking help.
Hey DawgNation medical experts- stream Easter service from home this week.
you're no conservative hero
Thought this was a good one too. Still not as good as yours @Savage .
I agree with all of this except the "how could we have possibly been better prepared?" part. I mean, not getting rid of the pandemic response team probably would've made us better prepared...
Well, another day and still healthy on my end. Had our 3rd confirmed case in the county as of noon today. Makes you wonder if these are related or isolated cases. They don't show that data so who knows.
Went to the grocery store to pick a few items for the wife and I, and the lady I help in the assisted living home. Have to drop her shop off at the front door of the facility and let the front desk know. Feel for her not having any contact, but understood.
For the first time I wore face covering ( Harley Davidson bandana) while in the store. Felt very strange to me to the extent I went into a public retail place with my face covered. Can only imagine how this will affect businesses and their security in the future.......
All in all.... a very Good Friday!!
God Bless all and stay safe!!
Not sure why you're getting down voted. You make valid points. I get why this virus was taken so seriously, but I wonder if some people realize the effect this is having on people's lives economically, emotionally, psychologically, etc. The measures we took to fight this virus were extreme. That could be a very good thing. It could also be a huge mistake. To act as if the actions taken were correct beyond any doubt is mind boggling to me. To act as if they were absolutely wrong is just as mind boggling. One thing I can predict with a high level of certainty, the economic ripple effect of the actions taken against this virus will be remembered forever. Will the virus itself? That is still to be determined. Hopefully, discussion doesn't cease just because it is PC to think a certain way.
Welp, I'm all clear...
Great news....I also see that your stimulus check hit your account. Good for you.
Man, that's as tough a question as asking how many losses will the Dawgs have in the upcoming season and anyone who says 1 or more losses gets DV'd.
I think the discussion of whether the economic damage of sheltering-in-place vs ending the virus is a good one to have. There are not many facts to shape this discussion, so don't worry about an encyclopedia length post :).
My view is that if we could just all get on the same page and shelter in place for four weeks - all of us and I mean no exceptions except for groceries and grocery trips are done with masks, social distancing, etc. - this virus would be relegated to the wet markets of China and be mostly gone from the US. Then, we could address any local outbreak with appropriate measures.
But, that is only if we can all get on the same page because it doesn't work unless all of us are doing it faithfully. I'm not sure we can. So, it feels like our choice is to do 3/4 measures for 6 months as that is how long partial and start/stop efforts will take or to accept the casualities, the physical and financial cost on our health care system and just get on with life, accepting Covid19 as a part of our world until 18 months from now (or hopefully sooner) when we have a vaccine.
I'd say we can't survive economically as a nation if we have to do it for months and instead we just need to live with Covid19 and accept the consequences as much as that stinks. I don't like what I'm saying at all, I just don't see better solutions being realistic.
some humor...
good news...nyc posted it's lowest hospitalizations yesterday...maybe the apex is here for the city. although i'm more and more convinced no one knows anything
We all need to keep perspective.
0.00000568 % of the U.S population has died. (a lot weren't healthy)
biggest overreaction in the history of EVER
Pretty sure Johnny Carson's 1973 claim that there was a shortage of toilet paper ranks right up there too /S..... TIFWIW......
@Kasey , how are you liking Canada lite, eh?
Probably getting used to the Hot Dishes and Lutefisk....😉....eh?
