Still got snow?

Snowed yesterday. It's warm enough that it's not sticking to roads and sidewalks, but the open areas and mountain are still covered in snow. Most of us are walking around in short sleeves, so the cold is not going to be a deterrent. Last year the resort was open until the third week in April.

This gets confusing. So many thousands of medical workers have been laid off all over the country as admissions dropped
Even in NYC they report the number of people admitted with non covid-19 ailments has dropped to the point they do NOT need the ship so what are the medical people who normally care for non virus patients doing?

If that's true, my Facebook feed with all the medical workers saying Stay Home will probably start changing to Let's Get Back To Work from said medical workers.

Actions have consequences. In Italy, two similar regions, Lombardy and Veneto, took different approaches to the community spread of the epidemic. Both mandated social distancing, but only Veneto undertook massive contact tracing and testing early on. Despite starting from very similar points, Lombardy is now tragically overrun with the disease, having experienced roughly 7,000 deaths and counting, while Veneto has managed to mostly contain the epidemic to a few hundred fatalities.

Similarly, South Korea and the United States had their first case diagnosed on the same day, but South Korea undertook massive tracing and testing, and the United States did not. Now South Korea has only 162 deaths, and an outbreak that seems to have leveled off, while the U.S. is approaching 10,000 deaths as the virus’s spread accelerates.

Consequences.

South Korea has masks, we do not. South Korea didn’t have CDC incompetence.

This is a common theme around various parts of the country

This is what happening in many parts of the country:
1. Some hospitals are designated to treat virus patients. Some of these are overloaded.
2. The other hospitals are underwhelmed due to everyone staying at home and not getting hurt.

Anybody else needing a haircut about now? That's starting to feel like an essential business

It doesn’t appear they had lib politicians encouraging people to go to shows and ride the subways i(New York) or go to festivals in particular locations (China Town in San Fran) or criticizing steps taken to limit the spread of the virus from China either.

Are going to pretend you don't understand what she is saying?

When did LH ever care about facts?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Longest,
What are your current thoughts about favipiravir? Any evolution from the other day?

 

[mchammer]

There is a serious question as to how to count coronavirus deaths, not that LH would know anything about it.

 

[AC]

It would not be hard to start counting other deaths as corona virus deaths if the media was united for one outcome.

The issue is that people are being reported as dieing with corona virus, which is different than dieing from corona virus.

I don't think there is a "lib conspiracy", but there is a lack of precision and willingness for people to talk through how to be more precise.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Longest,
Speaking of pandumbic, what are your current thoughts about favipiravir? Any evolution from the other day?

 

[mchammer]

Uh, there is an equally long number of clips from the CDC opposing masks, Dem mayors ignoring warnings, and others who objected to the China travel ban. Your post seems to suggest media bias.

 

[Horn6721]

Mona
That is exactly the issue. Apparently there are 2 codes with this.
One requires no test to determine if the patient actually had the virus

It's a challenge to stay entertained on lockdown.

Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.

“It’s a sh-- sandwich, and it was designed that way by Scott,” said one DeSantis advisor. “It wasn’t about saving money. It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the governor something to brag about.”

Republican Party of Florida chairman Joe Gruterswas more succinct: “$77 million? Someone should go to jail over that.”

With hundreds of thousands of Floridians out of work, the state’s overwhelmed system is making it nearly impossible for many people to even get in line for benefits.

After a record number of claims were reported Thursday, DeSantis said the state would resort to paper applications, build a mobile app to handle the flood of traffic and deploy hundreds, even thousands, of state workers to provide stopgap help.

Government failing to adjust fast enough to a crisis is not a partisan issue.

I say it is officially time to call this whole "shelter in place" thing off. POTUS was right when he said we should go back to work after Easter, I wish he had stuck to his guns instead of bowing to Fauci and Birx, whose model is just plain wrong. The main thing we were told to worry about is overwhelming our hospital system and that is clearly not happening. I read this morning of 3 different hospitals where the place is empty and workers are being sent home. This is because a) most CV cases are being treated at home and b) elective procedures are down 90%. Then I hear just an hour ago from my sister (a nurse for 40 years) and she says she is on half-days as the same is happening at her hospital. If the health care system is not going under, and has TOO MUCH capacity, then why are we doing this?

But it sure is their M.O.

100 F later this week in Delhi, but 39 F low in NYC.

My guess is you're not married nor in a serious relationship. With the negative view you have on life you wouldn't last 5 minutes in a serious union

When this shelter in place thing is over, PLEASE get laid.
