Spoke with friends in Singapore last night and they said its business as usual, going to work, kids still going to school. One of the more stricter societies having more freedom of movement. I understand as a small country they have the ability to backtrack cases, but still seems like the world is upside down in many ways right now. Another friend in India told me the cops are truly enjoying their increased power to whack almost everyone outside with a cane.
Are you really putting this up as a cospiracy gig? lol Do you not know anyone who work in large hospitals? Those places are usually overwhelmed without this additional virus. If there are empty beds, it's not because they don't have enough patients. I seriously can't believe someone would chalk this up as a common cold used for some conspiracy bs and that those "smart enough" are the only ones who know what's going on.
IHME’s analysis, based on observed death rates, estimates that over the next four months in the US, approximately 81,000 people will die from the virus. Estimates range between 38,000 and 162,000 US deaths.
Triathlete with a 60 VO2max dies this week at 40yo. I saw him a month ago. His entire family is symptomatic. Three teens without a father because it is “just another flu.” Cytokine storm in the majority of cases under 60.
Of course you live in a shithole. “Almost all of us have had it already” Kill yourself and save us the need to source the ventilator.
https://qz.com/india/1826387/indias-coronavirus-lockdown-brings-police-brutality-to-the-fore/ Yeah, might not be a great idea to increase cops´responsibility and power. About Singapore, besides benefiting from a better climate to fight the virus it is way better organized than Italy and Spain, same goes in terms of management with Japan, South Korea and Northern Europe. Spanish establishment unsurprisingly appears way over their heads with the situation, and resort to strong arms policies while they try to find better options or just pray for the better (again, much of the opposition had been asking for those tougher measures for a while already). Don´t think policing is light usually in Spain, barring border checkpoints, I´ve faced more police checks in the street and in car here in a few months than overseas in quite a few years, probably over a decade. Besides read today Singapore will start next week to implement one day a week for school pupils to study from home, they might increase the frequency of those school closures later on. But it sure looks much better than over here.
Just wait until the real #s come out! There is a secular community of Hasidic Jews called Kiryas Joel, approx 70,000 people, just north of me in Rockland Co. NY ... there are approximately 65% to 90% of that community that are infected w CV... they are a secular community that do not Comply with state/ federal orders to quarantine... they are doing everything they can to cover it up, including scumbag prince Andrew Cuomo.
I saw videos too of hospitals in Italy, France, one here in Canada, video of hospitals in N.Y. and Seattle. I did not see any "empty beds" in those videos. In fact, I saw people lying on blankets and beds in hallways because there's no room to put patients anywhere else. It gives me the chills because in the fall of 2016 I was on life support (coma) from the pneumonia (septic) in France and then later medivac (air ambulance as they call it) back to Canada in which the doctors discover I also had a deadly bacteria infection soon after arrival. The infection was the Clostridium Difficile (yeah...a deadly infection travel back from France to Canada in my body)... Resulted in me being quarantine for almost a month in Canada which I came out of the coma for the last two weeks of the quarantine. Scary situation to go thru when waking up from a coma and everyone around me are in medical gear dressed like astronauts like something out of a science fiction movie. I couldn't even hold a paper cup of water. I was too weak and I didn't even recognize my own kids nor remember their names. By the way, two other patients in nearby rooms on the same floor...they died from the C. Difficile (young person and an old person). I heard the old person crying hysterically one night...crying loudly for several hours. She died several days later and I would learn she became delirious and was calling out for her son whom had died years earlier from cancer. I'm mentioning this aspect because I saw a video yesterday of a hospital in N.Y. and I could hear patients calling for someone. In some ways, they are lucky because they were not on a ventilator nor in a coma. Lucky in my Unluck (french saying). I had a VIP room...single room, sofa, shower and TV for the comfort of my family when I came out of the coma although I don't know about the status on the hospital room (ICU) that I was in when I first became ill. I got a lot of attention from the nurses although I felt like a skeleton. A month later out of quarantine and then moved to a rehab facility closer to my other home here in Québec...I catch that same infection again but a mutated form...more dangerous. Now I'm quarantine a 2nd time but this time I'm wide awake, fully aware and wishing I was back in a coma. Feeling like crap but without the septic pneumonia. Yet, the diarrhea was so bad (about 7x per day) that I thought I would die on the toilet. The vomiting was just as worst because there was no food coming up. It's true...things did get worst before it got better. By the way, Quarantine will drive you crazy. Seriously, I have a strong military background, former athlete with a high pain threshold and have endured some crazy crap. I couldn't take the quarantine any more one night at the rehab and tried to leave even though I could barely walk. They threaten to have me arrested because I was a threat to public safety. It was the first time I heard that phrase (community spread). Today, I highly recommend that you take this Covid-19 very serious. I am because I do not want to be sick / quarantine again in a hospital because I know a 3rd time in quarantine in the current hospital crisis will not be some VIP experience for me... I'll probably be in a bed in some hallway. Today in 2020, the world is in a panic and in a medical crisis that in my opinion could have been avoided. This is a panic because too many people did not initially take this serious even after millions of dollars, lost jobs and deaths. Now its developed into billions / trillions of dollars, lost jobs and many many more deaths along with the emotional / psychological toll on the families of those that die. I would hate to see one of my loved ones lying on a blanket or bed in a hallway in one of those videos and then read some idiotic message post by you. Get your head out of the sand wrbtrader
That s lot of serious medical issues you got in a row, if true, I can see where u are coming from ( i spent once 3 months ina hospital apparently in a lot of pain but was very young, can t remember much) About emergency services being overwhelmed it is not surprising, I ve seen emergency rooms in Paris in normal times and they are already overwhelmed and extremely distressful. One could film there on most nights and paint a horror story about it. Also I spent years in China and found the health system decades behind the West, while also easily overwhelmed. Once our son ended up with a meningitis in the Children Hospital in Shenzhen, a very wealthy part of China, after the first 12 hours hanging around the emergency department waiting for some test and some space, he spent 24 hours in the waiting lounge of the neurology department while quite sick, along other kids. It happened that all kids had to spend a long while there upon arriving before they were assigned a bed in a room. Some of the kids were in a worst state and so were their parents, and the good thing was that the waiting room was rather clean, once our kid got a spot ina 4 beds room, it was so dirty my wife wouldn t even lay her handbag on the floor. Advice was shitty as expected in China and treatment unecessarily painful, we imagined our kid between life and death from talking with the chinese doctors and seing the mess the hospital was in, but after sending his blood test results and describing his condition to a french doctor, that doc told us it was viral and likely benign. Took us a few days to get him to Hong Kong, there s no medical transfer between China and Hong Kong and HK immigration doesn t want people with fever entering - nor the HK clinics want kids in life threatening conditions check in ime. Once he saw the doc at the HK hospital the doc sent him straight to the hotel as he appeared perfectly fine so we were having fun ina suite in the Mandarin Oriental that same night while in China they wanted to keep him hospitalised several more days. Next day he got a brain Mri which showed everything fine. Point being if China managed to deal succesfully with Covid one woukd suspect it shouldn t be that hard for advanced countries, but several seem to be lacking the industrial ressources to get enough masks and other protective equipment . In spain authorities have been saying for a long time that masks were not needed but at the same time couldn t get enough of them, and still can't. They now seize masks shipments coming into the countries afaik. Seems the countries in Asia dealing well with virus have their population use face masks extensively. They would probably be keener on blifting the quarantine if people had enough masks to wear outside Also wondering how much we can trust the news from China, there s news today the British are suspecting the Chinese to undereport the number of cases by 40 times or more ( i can post a link later) Another point being there are a lot of nasty diseases and nasty ways to die, if one want a longer and eventless life they could not only lock themselves in but also get castration. It works great for pets but I would have suspected humans had slightly greater aspirations. The current freedom grab is outrageous.
