We got into our car today to get fast food and pick up some wine from two local establishments we’d rather not see go out of business. Before that, the last time we drove the car was Sunday. We likely won’t leave here again by car for another 4-5 days.

Well I'm no going hungry to do my part to flatten the curve. If the world's gonna end I'm gonna be as fat as possible when it does so....

quote:So you're saying the global economy is fricked regardless so we may as well save a few lives while we're at it. Am I understanding that correctly?
Hundreds of thousands dead. Maybe millions depending on your source and the timing of the let off of restrictions. Which will also affect the economy. Look, I agree. They need to balance the economy with the inevitability of people dying from this disease. It is worth the trouble to save lives in the face of a pandemic but I agree that we cannot damage the global economy to a degree that it's unrecoverable. Global depression would and will be catastrophic. And it will happen. It's too late for that to change. It would've happened with or without Stay Home orders. But hopefully we mitigate that. I don't think steepening the curve does anything to help you with our common goal of saving the economy from utter collapse.

We would have just delayed the spread of the virus three weeks.
re: Explain to me why I should believe any of the Coronavirus numbers.

Believing them or not is irrelevant. All of the data is incomplete or impossible to correlate with other data. It's impossible to draw any conclusions whether you "believe" the numbers or not.

Okay Nancy
The economy is more important than even 10's of thousands of deaths. A global depression would be exponentially worse than the pandemic could ever dream of being. You think health care will be severely affected if we don't shut everything down? See what happens when we do shut everything down for an extended period.

That's the point of flattening the curve. Delay the peak. Spread out the cases so hospitals aren't overrun. Mid May isn't bad. 10,000 cases a day will suck dick.

quote:Is mouth to mouth resuscitation common in hospitals these days?
sat on a panel with several Med Directors night before last, once these pts go into cardiac arrest they can almost never be resuscitated. And once you begin CPR, there’s a drastic increase in lthe likelihood of the spread of droplets. Several major hospitals have implemented DNR protocols on these pts.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has been discussing a do-not-resuscitate policy for infected patients, regardless of the wishes of the patient or their family members — a wrenching decision to prioritize the lives of the many over the one.

I was actually picking up a pizza last night for dinner and this dude wouldn’t socially distance. I was getting annoyed so I pretended to take a phone call and said something like - “yeah man, some a-holes still don’t get that you need to give people some space with this virus”.
Paid for my dinner, then gave him the stink eye on the way out
