Amos I can’t say — what I can say is that when I do an admit assessment and see a dnr, in some cases I’m like wtf? They’re young (considering), not sick just cant live along physically or sometimes mentally.
And then there are some I see that are full code and I’m like wtf? They’re on their last leg and the family/someone wants chest compressions done on a 100# person??
It’s mind boggling at times.

So JBE staff if talking about the masks and the two hairdressers in Minnesota working with masks while WAITING FOR RESULTS.
WHAT THE F were they doing working if unsure of results?? I mean I’m glad their customers got a haircut and not covid but I thought of you were waiting for a result you were supposed to be HOME??!!

I read stuff like this and am first disappointed that someone would be reckless with data which is so socially important.
Then I consider that this is a massive data accumulation effort and it is good to see the authorities finding errors, acknowledging errors and correcting errors in a transparent and public manner. That’s a good thing.

That’s terrible
While my parents have each other’s medical POA they also have written DNR’s
Not sure if that makes a difference but we all know what each other’s wishes are

It's VERY awful ... SOMETIMES, a spouse (at home) won't sign a DNR so her husband can stay alive probably longer than he should to "keep getting a check". I've heard it said before. 
It can be very heartbreaking to see people linger, and linger, and linger and all the staff/doc/NP can do is suggest Hospice so that they're comfortable and not forced to do blood work and dialysis (although some hospice allow dialysis & tube feedings). I've cried my share and I'm only (or was) in the facility a day or two each week. IDK how the staff does what they do and puts up with what they put up with.
My mom started "telling" me what she wanted -- I'm the oldest and have 2 younger brothers. I clearly told her to get it in writing, signed and legal AND that she needed to say it out loud in front of my brothers what SHE wanted. One could try to blame me or do opposite ... THEY needed to hear it as well.

Crazy. I only know of a handful of people that have taken a test. But I guess this gets us to about 1/4 of the state has tested at some point?
I know of at least 8 that have gotten tested

So over 2/3 of the deaths are individuals over 70? Tell me again why everyone else was locked down and we didn’t put the burden on the elderly and their caregivers to isolate?
Posted on 7/16/20 at 5:27 pm to Oilfieldbiology
Because we couldnt overwhelm the healthcare system and public health
Posted on 7/16/20 at 5:51 pm to josh336
So then why are those that aren’t at risk still on lockdown?

Good luck determining “at risk”

Here’s the percentages as of today:
Percentage of Louisiana deaths broken down by age bracket.
<18: 0.12%
18-29: 0.33%
30-39: 1.81%
40-49: 3.61%
50-59: 8.86%
60-69: 17.69%
70+: 67.59%

Except it actually isn’t. 95% of people over the age of 75 who get this virus still survive. Think about that
But your stats aren’t proven to be factual.

Now do it and take out the ones under 50 that died of just COVID, no commorbities or cancer patients or anything that obviously was the main reason they died.

You’re asking for a number nobody will ever get

They may be counting them differently now. Maybe leaving out hospitalizations for other reasons but with covid.
