re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

* A sustained reduction in cases for at least 14 days,
* Hospitals in the state are safely able to treat all patients requiring hospitalization without resorting to crisis standards of care,
* The state is able to test all people with COVID-19 symptoms, and
* The state is able to conduct active monitoring of confirmed cases and their contacts.
Sounds like solid criteria to me. And I think the U.S. will get there sooner rather than later. The push to shift the private sector into producing needed resources like a wartime scenario makes all the difference. Trump isn't particularly eloquent but he's managed this crisis fairly well in the last couple of weeks. I would like to see more organization on the federal level because, as many governors have pointed out, you can't really just tell them to go procure ventilators and such because everyone is bidding against each other.

...the police are catching it from somewhere. It's not like it's a healthcare profession where there is a disproportionately high exposure

Hey Pic. The virus destroys the cells themselves in the lung by essentially making them viruses, that is how it duplicates. When enough cells are "destroyed" (by making them viruses) you have problems.

Could be some super spreaders that are considered essential and the departments have not been practicing proper social distancing etc.
Also add to it they deal with a lot more of the public than your average New Yorker.

Shouldn’t be that difficult to prioritize areas with highest demand. Once the lines get ramped up, they can start filling in the gaps. If they simply ship NY 5k ventilators, then the state takes ownership and has to distribute, the red tape will bog down the process big time. Cost should be a flat out fee per unit.

No, it won’t. The people doing it (like me) will continue to do it. The people not doing it will continue to not do it (until they catch it and wish they had). Most of the hourly folks who are currently working fewer hours, furloughed or laid off are getting checks very shortly that amount to well over what they would have made had they been at work and there’s likely more to come. They’ll be itching to go spend it all as soon as things do open back up.
I find it interesting that with all of the means of communicating and interacting in this day and age, we feel deprived if we can’t do it in a bar or restaurant. Personally, my family has been spending some great time together the last couple of weeks. We’re not unhappy.

If thet want to go after businesses it will only make the economic section worse.
What jobs are all these people going back to? The rest of the world has shut down. Oil at $20. No one traveling. On and on and on.

My son is in Madrid, quarantined. He's energetically stated that what's going on in USA is crazy. People who are healthy and young, or both, have no worry of death. The problem is it's work on your respiratory system. You'll survive, but be capacitorily compromised for the rest of your life.
The rest of Europe is not reporting cases in Spanish and italian fashion.
They're only reporting PURELY CV19 deaths. Any person with the slightest complication or additional condition who dies, forms no part of the death toll. The true death toll is exponentially superior, and exponentially growing.
ETA. I think Portugal openly divulges, as well.

Have we had any stats on how it’s affecting smokers compared to non smokers? I’m it’s worse for sure, I just wonder on some of the younger people having a hard time, if they were also smokers. I know vaping is a big thing in the younger generation.

I do not understand what your son is saying. We are crazy for shutting down bc it only permanently impairs our lungs?
Posted on 3/29/20 at 10:20 pm to lsu13lsu
He's saying this casual going to DIYs, convenience stores, grocery stores, etcetera, is furthering the contagion.
Many are innocuous carriers. Many will suffer irreparable respiratory or resistance type damage. I don't know the English word.

I understand now.
How should we grocery and pharmacy shop? That is the only thing we really have to do.

So, yes. You think they’re lying. Have a link to confirm any of this? Literally, any of it.
