I mean that's understandable. I hope the hospitals start getting the masks they need soon with all of the production and the stockpiles being released etc.
I'm more talking about the folks who are still going about essential business. Pharmacy trips. Food trips. They should be wearing masks.
Misinformation being put out by a state agency is just as bad as what the W.H.O. and even CDC did early on.
They knew it was airborne and claimed it wasnt so they could keep people from buying masks

Yep, totally agree. I think anyone going out should wear a mask. People usually focus on protecting themselves from getting the virus but it isn't about them, they need to be sure they aren't spreading any germs. The WHO and the CDC aren't helping. If the general public realized how many people are actually currently hospitalized by this they would be in shock. I only have first hand knowledge of one Indianapolis hospital and as of Wednesday approx 1/3 of it's inpatient beds were occupied by verified or presumptive positive Covid-19 cases. I'm not saying wrap yourself in a bubble if you have to go out, but...dang it, ok I'm saying it...wrap yourself in a bubble. No germs out, no germs in.

I keep my mask on and wear gloves when I deliver groceries or prescriptions to my inlaws.
I don't want to give them anything if I get it and i definitely dont want them going out. I'm not saying it's not a risk for me to go out. Trust me, I don't really want to at all. But my reasoning is If someone has to I'll do it because I'll make sure I follow what I know and I'll be as cautious as possible. Nothing else I can do.
I prepped so I wouldn't have to go out but when you have other people who are at risk who need things and you want to keep them inside, someone has to go.

I think most all of us are bound to get this if we haven't already had it before.

Certainly.

The goal of social distancing isn't to stop people from getting it; the goal is to slow down transmission enough so that hospitals are not overrun and that, perhaps, a treatment or vaccine can be figured out before everyone gets it. But there's no doubt that everyone worldwide will be exposed by the end of 2021 no matter what (excepting, perhaps, those few remaining uncontacted people groups in the Amazon).

Is the hydroxychloraquine being used in large numbers now in NYC? Wonder if that's starting to have an impact on their critical patients? Or even here locally.
I know if I got sick I'd want to be on that **** asap

I think I heard Cuomo state in his press conference one or two days ago that NY had some 1100 patients on a cocktail of hydroxychloraquine and another drug and they would know how they were working in a few days. Don’t think it was a controlled study, but with that many patients, they hopefully can get some idea whether the results differ significantly from others who didn’t receive those drugs.

I'm having trouble picturing Snake Plissken at a B&B in Rhode Island.

Well, Maybe build Trumps wall around NY. The time is perfect.

hah, dog always is present. it's something we can intubate a patient inside to limit aerosolized particles. I need to cut arm holes

Arm holes, clear flexible front shroud and being creative, a vaccum port that can be conected to suction (better than nothing) to aid in aerosol displacement? The unit does not need to be acrylic and can be made disposable? That along with a mask and face shield may help?

It took us a month to go from 1 death to 1,000 deaths.

It took us 48 hours to go from 1,000 deaths to 2,000 deaths.

I think this would be expected given how many tests were done vs. now. I would imagine they didn’t have anything beyond speculation previously. Plus it seems to take a week or two before people get really bad with this. Who knows though, with the number of urns China has been handing out, it seems they downplayed their deaths.

"Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else ... and not go to the hospital."

That is some serious TDS in healthcare where it doesn't belong, not that it belongs anywhere else either.

Just another reason to bring back production to the USA of ALL items we buy. Even if this was in a joking fashion, it is uncalled for.

Keep American Great & SAFE bring back production of everything we buy to the US, make a statement with "Made in the USA" products.

right but then you have to deal with a ton of lazy workers who want $75/hour union packages for pulling a tool from the air, tightening one bolt and doing that for 8 hours a day. yea, thats alot of why we lost aton of jobs here, our own greed.... thats not skilled labor, sorry folks.... if you worked on an assembly line and tossed a stamp steel hood onto a body as it rolled by... thats not skilled labor.... that doesnt deserve a $30/hr wage.


made in america... where the worker does just enough to not get fired and wants to sue for slipping on their own spilled coffee.

And yet Subaru in Lafayette is non union. They make almost the same pay as union shops. Subaru is paying their worthless NON UNION employees 100% to stay at home. Union shops are not getting 100% to stay at home.
