That's awful there are that many people in the hospital. Not making lite of that in any way.
But doesn't sound as bad considering there are 270000 in the county.
And the best news. They have 97.5% chance of survival. Or probably close to 90% since they are already in the hospital.
Hopefully they keep everything open in St Johns county so the other 269,976 residents can live their life.
Yes it’s not bad most people are just going in and testing positive and they all get sent home. The issue is they are seeing more and more hospital cases and will soon be expecting close to full capacity and that’s all it takes to shut down. They are expecting it to get worse throughout the month.
So worse case scenario...... you have a 4% chance of dying if you catch corona.
But there are also pretty high percentages that you don't catch it.
Let's think about this for a minute...... good chance you don't catch. But if you do.....you have over a 96% chance of survival.
Where Georgia's odds that good against Middle Tennessee State last year?
Wear a mask and open everything up. EVERYTHING.
This is past becoming idiocracy.
Hopefully people will stop going to the hospital.
My son's football team practices in groups of 10. That way if someone tests positive..... the group sits out but the team can continue.
10 days ago one kid tested positive. No symptoms . Still none. The other nine negative.
All 10 are wasting two weeks.
I get it and understand why it has to happen.....but one day we are going to look back and say......wow.... we were all complete idiots.
Effective immediately Gavin Newsom is shutting down 19 California counties. This will impact restaurants, wineries, movie theaters & family entertainment facilities, zoos, museums and card rooms. Bars must close all operations. Beaches are closed as well.
The biggest problem is that positivety rates in Az, FL, Tx and Ga are way too high suggesting inadequate testing. The mortality rates in these states will be higher than than the 2.5% as there are so many cases un-diagnosed. Hospitals will be overrun in the next 10-14 days if not already there.
How does high positivity rates in the states you mention suggest inadequate testing? The fatality rate in Georgia is 3.3%, based on 84,237 confirmed cases. But here's the kicker, when compared to the total population of Georgia only 0.7% have been diagnosed with Covid.
It is important to note that ER visits can be misleading. Since Obamacare, newly enrolled people with insurance think they can use an ambulance as a taxi and the ER is just a doctor’s visit. My niece is an ER nurse and has told me about people coming to the ER in an ambulance with a headache but still functioning fine. Not a debilitating headache, either.
Hospital capacity is media hype. They are always near capacity. The hospital administrators have largely been pointing out that their numbers are similar to a year ago. Hospitals haven’t been full for montha because of the suspension of elective surgeries, which is why so many healthcare workers have been furloughed or given diminished hours.
Throwing in the “as young as 18” is the type of thing the media has been harping on in order to keep everyone scared to death. Those are outliers, and also occur with influenza. Very, very few 18 year olds have been hospitalized. I would challenge someone to provide a documented case of a healthy 18 year old being hospitalized. Not a single 18-21 year old has died in the state of Georgia.
Gov. Reeves here in Ms. is probably going to impose tighter restrictions on the county I live in (Harrison) due to we have the 2nd highest infection rate in the state over the last 10 days......
If one of those counties includes Napa Valley, guess my aunt and step uncle aren't going after all.
Edit: Well, it doesn't.
I cannot speak for other hospital’s number of Covid patients, but I can speak for a very large one in the state of Georgia: Numbers of positive cases are increasing drastically. I say this to lead into my next opinion (and keep in mind, this is ONLY MY opinion, we all have one and they’re all different).
The topic: Should I wear a mask or should I not? IMO, that has NOTHING to do with your political stance, nor the different things we read or see on news’ networks. IT’S A “respect for your fellow Americans” – PERIOD! In my area, I would guesstimate (in the area I live and work) that 15% of the population wears masks in public. That’s NOT acceptable! Yes, maybe it’s my severe conservatism that tells me 85% of the people I come in contact with in public refuses to respect the Americans around them, but that’s how I see it. If you enter a public place – PUT ON YOUR MASK – I mean, is it really that difficult? Just for the 5 – 10 minutes you’re in the grocery store, convenient store, pharmacy, etc….?
Sure seems like it for some. If these people who can’t put on a mask fought in WW2 we would’ve lost
It tells you if enough people are being tested to capture the entire outbreak of an area.
