Again, no one who matters cares about this. The guy most of this board loves has blasted his own fed chairman for NOT printing more and faster.

Journal says he got intubated on March 20 so almost 3 weeks?

It doesn’t mean that God isn’t good — I know how I feel about it but can’t put it into words for you. I wont ever be able to make those who don’t get it “get it” and I won’t argue about it.
That said, I’m happy for his family and as I've said many times, very very sorry for the families of those who have died (from this as well as other things).

Would love to get it... Just don’t see how he is good for saving 1 person who you may have ties to, but he isn’t bad for 88k other dying.
Same way I feel about if he’s so great, why does he allow children to suffer and die?

Does this really need to happen in this thread?

What happens when all the drama of a story comes to an end. Same as hurricane threads.

If that’s the signal for the end, well I’m pretty happy about that. I need to get my haircut!

So, what Gov. Edwards is trying to do now is use this time that we have to drive down the back side of the curve really hard and fast. It matters a great deal whether, on May 1st, it's 0.3% of our population who is currently infected and on the street, or whether that number is under 0.1%.
Then that needs to be explained rather than just repeating “we can’t let up”. When you put charts up that stretch into November people want to know will this last until November.
They have been telling everyone flatten the curve and explained why that was needed. Now that it is flattening they need to explain why everything needs to stay shut down. The explanation needs to be better than we can’t let up or it will come back because it isn’t going away anytime soon.

Well, the problem is that a person's individual risk of getting COVID-19 is now very low. But if you tell the public that, then everyone thinks it's OK to have house parties, and we don't get the virus down to a low enough level.
Not enough people are patriotic enough for us to be able to simply count on them to do the right thing. We humans are naturally selfish. So, it becomes necessary to scare people for the time being.

But it actually is going away. By the end of the month, we're going to have basically eradicated the virus. It will be a real fight to keep the virus at bay, but it is possible, especially during the hot months. By the fall, though, we'll need an effective drug treatment, or we'll end up shutting down again.

Well it looks like the nursing home where I work has one positive case currently and 3 pending lab tests.
What is the normal length of duration for plaquinil? I see an order for 5 days only. ??? And no zpack.
This resident is a FUll CODE and a frail little thing.

It’s not the governments job to scare people it’s their job to tell the truth. Also a majority of people aren’t scared. It’s funny how people react better when the powers at be are transparent and provide all of the information instead of just saying trust us.
If the virus was eradicated we wouldn’t have to fight to keep it at bay.

You mean years and years of uncovering the government lying has built up an inherent distrust in what they tell us?
