Dude, you need to get onboard with reality. I know everyone and their mother has a phone & camera these days, but there are reasons that there have been no photos / videos of these 'over-run' hospitals, because, you know.... JUST BECAUSE!!>!>!>! <thick sarcasm>  Someone make sure I know when the pandemic is coming, I don't want to miss it. And it's politically convenient as a way to trash the economy. | |||

Obviously quoted from "History of the States of United" by Joe Biden. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” Ayn Rand “If we relinquish our rights because of fear, what is it exactly, then, we are fighting for?” Sen.

That's actually a good point. We aren't starting from empty ICUs. Maybe that's the answer. Still, if an extra 112 cases citywide overwhelms the system, then we are woefully underprepared for pandemics. They have happened before and they will continue to happen. Perhaps we need to finally allocate resources to preparing for them. | |||

Gov. Cuomo himself reported yesterday that the rate of hospitalization in NY had decreased greatly since Sunday, citing distancing and lockdown as the reasons. It's still increasing, but not as quickly as before. https://thehill.com/policy/hea...good-sign-and-headed | |||

Having worked on ICU and critical wards I’ve some insight. It takes a doctor to assign an ICU bed. I was called to a CCU as a patient needed a bed but, had to wait until one open up. I was handholding him and his family. Several hours later, he kneeled over. The they moved the “best” patient to the step down and him to the bed. He survived and I got a reality check of what the medical staff goes through. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

Now that we're doing a lot more tests, we're getting a lot more positives. I think in Texas we're running about a 7% positive rate. The more people you test, the more positives you'll get. And despite them having less cases, Italy has over 7 times the number of fatalities. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

yeah, they are projecting around 214 million "cases". I will be looking at the recovered cases and we certainly are not first in deaths. | |||

In NJ, we had 2,492 new cases added just today alone. --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve." - Lao Tzu | |||

Dallas County has deemed that gun stores are essential business and will remain open. Gun sales up 500%. Gun stores in N. TX remain open. Wish the damn ranges were open. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

| We gonna get some oojima in this house!  |
I think we will see a more regionalized type of response in the coming days/weeks. A triage with factors such as population density, infection rate, icu availability. NY/NJ is going to be bad. Other areas not so much. Quilette ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Don't know the details because I only saw a snippet on the local "news," but one of the hospitals in the Metro-Detroit area has closed its emergency room "America is at that awkward stage.
