Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Pretty sure @dingyibvs is, am I wrong?

 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trump hasn't attended a Coronavirus Task Force meeting in five (5) months. Criminal dereliction of duties.

Trump hasn't attended a coronavirus task force meeting in five months and is taking no role in combatting the surge in the disease

 

“The nurse that orientated me had one patient, she was called the ‘VIP’ patient, she was a doctor’s wife,” Rivers said. “They pulled out all the stops for that woman — there was nothing that they didn’t do for that woman. And guess what? She was the one patient that made it out of that ICU alive.”

 

Fun Fact: Orange Man really is bad.

 

Username checks out.

 

You forgot to add 3 others playing with him. Governors of NY, NJ, and Michigan. Its only fair if you are going to try and say any human being has any real control of this Virus. (no major 1st world county has)

 

I did not draw the cartoon. &, I feel no obligation to be fair...I reject your big gov everybody gets a trophy world.

 

Although it's accepted fact that trump is AWOL in his COVID responsibilities, I'm losing track of the shifting narrative. Are the "Governors of NY, NJ, and Michigan" doing too little or too much to mitigate COVID?

 

This was a paper released on Oct 23rd about how the Mask mandates worked in the US. They pulled the paper after they realized their paper was garbage. It's evident that with the WHO breakout(which we know will follow guidelines) that anything other than N95 masks won't stop the spread of Covid. Cloth masks might slow it down a tiny bit, but lets be real, it's not working well at all.

 

Among the most shocking claims made by registered nurse Lawanna Rivers about her time working at the University Medical Center in El Paso is the existence of a room she calls “The Pit,” where the worst COVID-positive patients were sent to die with minimal treatment and limited efforts at resuscitation.

Due to the sheer number of patients at the hospital, she and other nurses were instructed to give each person in “The Pit” just three rounds of CPR before the person was pronounced dead — a significant reduction to the normal efforts aimed at keeping patients alive.

“I saw a lot of people die that I felt like shouldn’t have died,” Rivers said in a nearly 50-minute Facebook Live video posted Nov. 7. “Out of all the codes that we had there, there’s not a single patient that made it.”

this is what happens when they system is overloaded. it sounds like many at that hospital just gave up. lawsuits to follow.

 

Freedom has become a four letter word.

 

The problem is that people don't understand that freedom without responsibility doesn't work. Too many people view freedom as completely excusing responsibility, when, in fact, it requires exercising responsibility to work effectively.

 

Australia: major 1st world country. They had a bad day today: 22 cases. Nobody died. 3 people have died there in the last month.

 

cute saying with zero depth

 

Did North Dakota mask mandate trigger an avalanche from the GOP

 

Link that masks don’t work?

 

If masks worked why is Europe and the US blowing up? There are mask mandates everywhere. Go look at the data.

 

Maybe they are talking about this?

Opinion | Case for Mask Mandate Rests on Bad Data

 

But if you read the actual study, they used multiple surveys to get their measure of mask usage, including the yougov survey the WSJ opinion piece says disagrees with their data.

Here is the study (it hasn't pulled, it is still there)
