What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

[ewade07]

I'm liking this thread. It's entertaining to read all these posts from people who are pontificating on the covid.

I'm curious as to how many resident expert epidemiologist posters we have on this thread? I'm just a lowly ER RN seeing it first hand, so....... I'm very curious as to what advice, and knowledge, that the people who are posting safely from their homes have for me and my coworkers in this crisis. I mean I'm sure they don't even know anyone who's been diagnosed as positive....and I'm damn sure those people aren't dealing with the people who are dying daily. So in their own small worlds this whole covid thing is just blown way out of proportion and isn't that bad. So I'm all ears for your home grown Google advice , and research, on how bad it is, or isn't.

If anyone wants to come hang out in the ER and help me take care of covid patients I'll see what I can do. We need all the help we can get.

And if nobody is interested, I guess I'll enjoy my 3 days off with my wife and young son and be right back in it.

I'll check in on this thread again after my next stretch of days off to see what I'm missing.

Thanks for all your hard on the front lines. I'm sure what you are seeing and what is being said is vastly different. How hard is Michigan being hit? Can you give us a little insight as to what you are seeing when you are on shift? I am in MT which has not been hit hard at all, thankfully. Stay safe man!

3 days off from that schedule and you wasted time in this raging dumpster fire? Care to enlighten the people going round and round in here? What are you seeing? Last time I checked they don’t allow non providers to practice in a hospital or any where else my friend. Keep up the good work!

Seven Predictions from a Post COVID19 World

Thoughts? I think the telemedicine and remote-work points are pretty spot on. The new normal as this eventually subsides will be vastly different from the previous era.

Doubling rates on deaths went from 6 yesterday to 10 today.

I dont know what to think about any of it any more..the D Como is stating we dont have a king and R Trump is saying he has total authority....we have officially entered Bizaro world...smh

The Governors have the authority to open their states not the President.

No, probably not, but I started another thread. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.na...ts-two-years-before-coronavirus-outbreak/amp/

I'm not sure how you could ever trace it back to it's origins at this point?

Right, probably never happen. Doesn't really change what I think of China, much. However, I do think less of them.

Too bad we are dependent on them.

I'd bet that in order to make that post you used one or more devices made there. Connected to the internet via a Chinese made router, modem, etc?

Correct 10th amendment...but if they dont follow Federal rules Federal Funding can be cut...i.e. no state seat belt law no Federal highway dollars.

I think you missed the irony I was trying to highlight.

You want a pat on the back for picking your profession? You did realize you would be dealing with sick people when you became a Nurse. Correct? Are you a infectious disease specialist? How bad is it?

 

[travis.westra]

Definitely not as bad as they make it out to be

This coming from the guy blaming Trump while defending the Chinese government, the WHO, and progressing anything that supports his political beliefs. Wow. Talking about tinfoil hats.

I don’t know man...something like 2500 Americans will die today, due to this virus.
Seems pretty bad.

And, who are they?

In which state are you a healthcare worker and how many COVID-19 patients have you handled this week?

My neighbor is a nurse. Based on what I've heard, I think she'd say that dealing with patients day in and day out who can communicate a potentially fatal disease while having insufficient PPE is worse than you make it out to be.

 

[*zap*]

Approx. 7500 is the normal # of deaths per day here in the USA. So far in 2020 there were around 26 deaths from kung flu per day on average.

Which state do you care for covid patients in? How many healthy patients prior to infection, has died under your care?

Is it the disease she is upset about. Or, the fact the Chinese Government spent weeks lying to the world while buying open market PPE's so other countries wouldn't have them?

I still can't get by the stats the CDC has published. Is it killing healthy people or is it killing compromised people due to complications created? I'm not God nor, do I claim who has the right to live. But, over and over this keeps getting repeated in guilt trip posts by people telling us how bad it is. Yes it is bad. So, is 40 million Americans starving to death because we can't stomach the idea that people die.

 

[WV Mountaineer]

Am I the only person here that is aware that the Mayor of NY city decided the death count was low and added an additional 3500 deaths to the total count. Get this. Because he "suspected" that many more people had died from covid 19. No tests. No data. No confirmation. Just 3500 more people because they died during the epidemic. Unbelievable. SMDH

This could easily be the end of the USA as we know it.

"They" needed to crush the US economy to have a chance to beat Trump this November and guess what....."they" found a unique way that also emboldens government to overreach itself to the extreme. Biden rolls into the WH 1/21 and its game over.
