My close friend's brother in law was in NYC hospital on respirator for 2 days before dying Sunday morning at age 59 with no underlying conditions. Her sister could not be with him not only because of quarantine but because she has it too. Another friend told me her church's religious teacher and sister both died last week in NJ from Corona. Yeah...people are dying and in a month or so we will all have 2 degrees of separation from somone who died perhaps if we don't stop it. Just because you live in a basement in the middle of bumfuck no where does not mean people are not dying. You know what these are: Refrigerated trucks set up outside a NYC hospital because their morgue is full and they cannot handle the amount of bodies. They said it is the first time since 9/11 they had to do that.
I have 3 physicians/ nurses that live on either side of me & one across the street that work at Mt Sinai & Columbia Presb. in the City.. I had a long discussion with 2 of them this morning & it`s Not Good if the real #`s ever get out! .. It would be a panic... I hate to say this but this thing is a looong way from over!
Exactly... for people in a town of 150 to say "Who has seen any deaths" is so fucktarded I cannot even comment. Likewise a friend's wife is a nurse in Louisiana and she said it is so much worse than people think. I don't think she means we are all going to die but opening up in a few weeks seems really unlikely. They are mobbed with cases so they see it in the worst possible conditions but I think the spread will slow since we are in week 2 of a lot of mandatory shutdowns and only the remaining idiots are left to get sick.
I fear we're rationing the test kits not from lack of them but due to politics. These numbers have got to get out, we like to think we're better than China....
I don't understand how people can't see if this virus was no big deal, the Chinese would never have locked down Hubei Providence. The Chinese are not known for caring about workers or working conditions and yet the lock down over ten million people. What do they know about the virus we don't? Does anyone believe their total death rates?
Chinese and their ex-commie friends don't reveal anything that might be deemed "national embarassment". And they're also shameless. This is clearly seen in their accusation that US forces have intentionally spread the virus in Wuhan, when in fact they've spread the virus all across the globe.
No one ever saw the USA get hammered like this somehow we avoided the previous epidemics not this time go back, plenty of signs and portents this was a nasty one months ago https://www.ft.com/content/403e6677-842e-3e92-9f7b-fa2a5f760ae0
