Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

N95 Masks

Reasonably certain that this was the source. Dansdeals is usually great group of members that I use for travel deals. Surprised they are allowing this type of sale to occur. Mostly hasidic community members

 

For those of you who Pay for the Insider boards, unc posted a very funny thread called post signing day 1992 recruiting class on the recruiting forum. Spending too much time here

 

Well after getting completely burned on the tax cut, what else is he going to say?

All that tax cut money literally disappeared into the ether, since those buybacks occurred at much higher prices than today. It was basically like lighting a trillion dollars on fire. I'm sure some would still somehow want to do it though (just like after 2009), so it really needs to be codified into law, no bailouts should go to buybacks or executive pay... period. It's just to stave off BK in a pandemic, and to keep as many employees as possible paid. That should be it.

 

The law needs to say that.

From @gatorntuscaloosa, who has an outstanding thread in the Den on a relative who went through a progressively severe case.

 

It should be but the pubs will not do that

 

Just an FYI

I just listened to a translation of email correspondence between Chinese doctors and a Spainish doctor concerning the virus.

highlights:

The Chinese have been doing an immense amount of autopsies to determine transmission and disease pathology

Covid19 causes the lungs to produce a think mucus that blocks bronchial airways and these airways need to be opened to supply the affected area with any treatment if they are not open, no treatment is effective.

Drink hot liquids and gargle antiseptic. The virus can live up to 3 days in your mouth before moving into your lungs.

Wash hands every 20 mins and shower every time you go outside immediate shower. Don't even sit down because the virus can live on fabric and clothing for days. Constantly wash your clothes.

There is more but I would have to listen to it again to get it.

Oh, so this is not one of those OBVIOUS votes where yes means you care about the poor & no means screw the poor?

 

Poor Dr Fauci. Trying to help people when the President he has to deal with can’t tell reality from his own want-to-be reality.



Exhibit # whatever we are on about why Trump is uniquely unfit as a President.

 

Another, not so novel approach to saving lives and possibly protecting those most vulnerable. This is another avenue forward and one that the Chinese have seen enough success from what I read at the John's Hopkins website that they shipped 90 tons of plasma to Italy to try and help bolster both the medical community that has fallen ill, as well as the sickest patients. Again, no "quick fix" on a broad scale, but Hopkins has been fast tracked to work with partners and set up 3 parallel clinical trials as early as this week.

FDA is working on treatment for coronavirus with blood from recovered patients

 

From @duchen post above:

"March 15, 2020-My morning arterial blood gas (which hurts like a ) is normal. I get weaned to 50%."

I have had nightmares in the past due to having blood gas procedures done. In my last stay, they stuck me so many times without hitting an artery I told them "no more". I have had a lot of pain in my life but when they start hitting those nerve bundles in your wrist/arm it will light you up like a Christmas tree.

 

It’s not collective they had a deal hammered out till attention starved Nancy showed up. I’m sure the party loves this power move. Disgusting! Try to defend this one boys.

 

The thing is , you know these statements by AF will get back to Trump. I wonder if AF is intentionally saying these things to a reporter because he wants out but doesn't want to quit so he is hoping to be replaced or fired.

 

No offense, but that comes off as a fairly one-sided take on it. I am a Republican and I know enough about politics to understand it is seldom all one side.

 

It's not like there weren't plenty of people sounding the alarm at the time. And he sure didn't care when it gave the market a short-term boost.

 

This is a fantastic article on the Coronavirus and what makes it different and unpredictable.

Why the Coronavirus Has Been So Successful

 

The effects in the human body. If one has the flu then their system is already compromised if the virus enters. The flu has been more serious and yet it has been ignored as a evil twin in discussing the deaths.
