Corona Virus Update

I see 2 or 3 trillion if we do it right. What do you see?

 

Well, we won't know the grand total until businesses come out with projections, etc. But 2-3 trillion is a nice ball park number. I'd stretch it to a 5 trillion loss. And with the inflationary aspect, this is uncharted territory. Just like the virus itself. It's a double whammy.

 

Sure.

Which hospitals are experiencing shortages.

You know, past the nominal 6-12 hour wait times in NY emergency rooms, for example.

 

Says the guy telling me about results that only exist in the future.

 

Kaboom!

 

huff post rots your brain

 

??
So, old people should just die??

Are you aware that allthough there are "at risk" groups, those are NOT the onlly ones doing the dying?

Yes, I think it will be hard for you to find elected officials to join you on the side of death to Americans.

 

Their big mistake was not doing what Trump did early in restricting China travel.

 

More like "Death and cases are sadly inevitable, but let's not plunge ourselves into a depression ontop of it." I/we/no one can do anything about this. We can reverse our mind numbing decision to stop the entire economy though.

 

Trump must have been told we no longer make most medical supplies. We moved it to china.

Here where I live we once had microtech a manufacturer .that made medical supplies for domestic use . In fact 2 such factories. Both moved to china .

Perhaps this will force govt to bbring back industry for the sake of national security? ..Forget about it. All that matters is max profits .

 

That's what Trump said - that all news he didn't like was fake on the subject of COVID.

Then, he found out they were right, so now he claims that nobody could have known!!!

Keep watching Trump - he'll give you hints on how to avoid the truth and shirk responsibility.

 

??

Hospitals ARE doing something about it. They are saving people EVERY DAY.

And, the measures being taken ARE saving lives.

What's your gig here? Are you living on the proceeds of investments? Are you living hand to mouth and thus being out of work is tough?

 

No, I'd rather not see a financial calamity ontop of a national health crisis, but alas keep thinking I'm worried about big corporations.

 

How come McConnell closed out ALL Democrats from working together to create COVID relief legislation?

In the House, Democrats worked with Republicans and with Trump.

The idea of McConnell continue to be totally and exclusively partisan in time of national duress is REALLY disgusting.

This is America - not Republicanville.

 

OK, you're getting closer.

The economic disaster IS "on top" of the COVID problem - in fact caused by the COVID problem.

 

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this on here. Initial tests are very promising and it was 100% effective against coronavirus. Trump wants it available immediately, the FDA wants to do large clinical trials. If someone is on their deathbed with coronavirus, we need to use it and not wait for trials. This is not a new drug, we know it won't kill them. I know it's bold to say, but this could be our saving grace.

Would you prefer the warning take place after you die?

 

Hospitals all across Italy.

 

Caused by this 'flattening the curve' theory that isn't even working. As I said before: Death by a thousand papercuts. How is this observable to me, and not to anyone else? Doesn't anyone else see that what we're discussing is the difference between slowly bleeding out to death and just accepting the blood loss from a surgery(the surgery being covid-19).

 

The drug is approved for "compassionate use". If a doctor and patient agree to use an experimental drug, the doctor can call in the prescription. That will possibly help save a lot of people and speed up the FDA research at the same time. Not too long ago, FDA would only test animals for months on end before "experimenting" with a drug on humans.

Hopefully it's effective and the trials can be sped up. The drug is already safe for humans with certain diseases. I suppose it's possible to have adverse reactions with other diseases.

 

do you ever get tired of complaining?

 

Hospitals already operate near capacity. This virus could more than double the demand for hospital beds if we don't flatten the curve. That means people won't get treatment for heart attacks, strokes, serious flu...or the "surgery" they need.

We don't have enough beds for everyone to get the virus at one time and get it over with.

 

you should really try being happy for once . its so much more fun.

ps, huff post is not a happy place. there is a whole world out there with joy, happiness and smiles. get out there and explore it.

 

Hence as I said before: Just don't treat them...That might be inhumane, but it's literally the difference between this thing having its peak and curve down, versus people getting the bug(even when quarantined) gradually, over time(years) and still trying this flatten the curve.

 

~ It seems there is not going to be a "Coronavirus Catastrophe" here in the USA. Older medications are already showing efficacy in weakening the virus. There is a fast-track on new vaccines. Hospitals as yet are dealing with demands. If needed National Guard medical assistance is ready.
Unlike Europe that unknowingly had the virus unleashed on them by CHINA - who failed to admit responsibility but instead kept it quiet for several weeks - President Trump was on top of this immediately. Good for America ! No thanks to the "news" media feeding the doom & gloom to chase ratings and complaining about identifying the "Chinese Virus" as not politically correct. Americans need to be well and truthful - not polite and forgiving to a country that would like to see us fail.
