Great. Now I have a crush on your governor, South Dakota.

Seriously, she's the type of leader we need during times like this.

Can't say I blame you.

The last minute should be required viewing for all governors.

Comical isn't it. When the Left constantly whines that we need more women elected officials, they never site women like Ms. Noem as an example of what those elected women should look like. Gee, I wonder why? I'd be very proud to live in a state governed by a woman like this.

.

I like her to, but I like data. If you apply S Dakotas rate of infection ratio to the population of California you get a total Covid infected of around 47,000. The last time I looked at California COVID total it was around 30,000. That was not what I was expecting.

Just told by my sister in law who is in the volunteer ambulance corp that New York State is forbidding them to perform CPR on people in need. They are to stand down and await instructions as to whether defibbing would be authorized. That is disconcerting.

So it is OK to let some people die? Just not if they are known to have the Wuhan Flu?

WTF?!

Do you know if that is a statewide edict or a local (county or city) protocol?

Yeah this doesn't sound right. I know that New York just jumped on the bandwagon of performing at least 20 minutes of CPR in the field and if they're still in asystole then medical control can authorize them to stop CPR. But I haven't heard anything about not starting CPR in the first place.

Regional medical control in the Albany area has just mandated compression only CPR unless the patient has a secured airway. Obviously this is in addition to 20 minutes of CPR in the field and no transport if asystole. There may be different protocols downstate, but I can say with certainty that the aforementioned policy is not in effect statewide.

WTF. Can't they use a BVM or something else? Is that considered too dangerous?

Please cool it with the nested quotes, guys. You need to pare down that stuff. You've got a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote. Just quote the last person in the chain, please, and leave the rest of it out.

The Dakotas, IA, WY, UT, NE and AR are the holdouts, relying on the decision making of their constituents.

I think Kim Reynolds is likely to take the most heat of all them and she has a ZFG attitude to the press, I have watched a quite a few of her PR's.

It's not just treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest that is being modified.
There are new guidelines for patients with heart attacks, because many patients appear to have a conventional heart attack but when taken to the cath lab do not have the expected blood clot in the coronary artery. Hence there is high risk of COVID patients infecting cath lab personnel, with no benefit to the patient from the procedure.

In many cases the more old-fashioned but less-invasive thrombolytic therapy (IV blood clot-dissolving medication) is given instead.

Gov Kristi Noem... you go girl.
Right there is a public official with brains and common sense!

And very easy on the eyes.

Silly woman. No wonder all the leftists are out for her head. First, she is foolishly passing an opportunity to seize additional power, second she is spewing this ridiculous talk that makes it sound like she might even consider her citizens to be adults with functioning brains, capable of thinking for themselves and making rational decisions. It is almost too silly to consider anything other than a joke. But the real coup de grace is that this craziness seems to be working out for her state. The utter heresy of not turning into an authoritarian and not failing grossly so that she can be used as an example to prove that the politician have to turn into jackbooted thugs and treat their subjects like children that have to be directed. Jimminy Cricket, she might actually make those power grabbing governors look bad! Heaven knows we can’t have that. Everyone must understand that the state is the source of everything. Heck, next thing you know, she might even say that business folks in her state actually did build their businesses. Absolutely shocking! [/sarcasm]

Knock it off with that rate of infection or number of cases crap. As more and more people get tested in the US, there’s going to be more and more ‘cases’. You might be infected right now. Some people seem to forget that almost everyone on the planet is going to get Chinese Flu.

The number of deaths in the US is FAR, FAR lower than the ‘experts’ stated. And even those numbers are lies. Always remember that.

We've been advised that if the BVM does not have a HEPA filter you risk aerosolizing the virus. Since none of ours do, the policy has changed.

Despite my displayed location, I'm in NY.

Wisconsin Sheriff standing up for citizens....won't enforce stay home orders. Great job Sheriff!

President Trump asks "Who believes the China number ?"



https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...-a-moral-ob-n2567179


During Saturday evening's White House Coronavirus Task Force press briefing, Dr. Deborah Birx showed a chart comparing the number of Wuhan coronavirus deaths across the globe. At the bottom of the chart was China, with a reported 0.33 deaths per 100,000, something we know has to be a blatant lie.

After Dr. Birx finished with the slide, President Donald Trump pointed to the numbers and asked reporters in the room if anyone believed the numbers coming out of Iran and China.

"This is why the reporting is so important. And I think you remember almost six weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was telling you what Italy was showing to us and what France was telling to us and the warnings that they gave to us. They said be very careful, there's an extraordinarily high mortality amongst people with preexisting conditions and we used their information to bring that to the American people," she explained. "That came, that alert before we even had significant cases, came from our European colleagues on the front lines."

According to the Coronavirus Response Coordinator, it's important for countries to be transparent about what they're dealing with, especially when a new virus or disease comes about because it gives countries an opportunity to alert residents. She said that information from Europe allowed the U.S. to make critical decisions and alert vulnerable populations on March 15th.

If China had been truthful from the get-go people in Italy and France might have had a fighting chance. There are two reasons we've had fewer cases and a smaller death count: 1) President Trump shut down flights to and from China early on and 2) our European counterparts were transparent and told our health experts what they've learned.

It's time for the world to hold China accountable, not just for creating this virus but for attempting to cover it up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


The DEM party lie:

DEM senator Murphy: "The reason that we're in the crisis that we are today is not because of anything that China did"

DEMs have adopted a universal strategy of saying the most outrageous lies and falsehoods on every topic. They own MSM and get away with it.

And intentionally spreading it around the world. This is nothing less than an act of war.

The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way. In the exact, same, way.

Unfortunately, if you go look at the actual paper, the guy's conclusions were based on data through April 6th, and in some cases based on an apparent decrease in daily new cases over only a couple of days.

In the almost two weeks since then, Sweden's number of daily new cases has continued to trend upwards, and the number of daily new cases in the US has held fairly steady rather than declining.

^^^. Here we go with Sweden again. Go back and read my post on page 381.

Also, no one is debating Sweden’s peak is going to be later than the US. This is common knowledge. After reading the entire article, it’s clear you only cherry pick what you want to panic about.

New York state has the most cases and deaths by far (across the U.S.)

New York City has 75% of the New York State deaths

"New York City" has 75% of the NY deaths, not New York City Metro

New York City is a real "hot spot"

That's great! I loved the original SNL.
