How's it in the hospitals? I've heard some horror stories from friends in the field with the lack of masks/asking them to reuse masks even after exposure and what not.

I have a friend whom works for a local hospital to not be named. She had a patient with active TB and they asked her to reuse the same mask multiple times over the course of multiple days to help with said patient. That's just asinine.

We kinda suck. We are selfish, foolish and spoiled because we have been sold that we are number 1. We are not. We are part of the world community and this is a stark awakening as to how poor we are at accepting our own flaws as a nation
This is from decades of a government that has pitted us against them even when the “them” is literally your neighbor and friend.

Federal officials waited until early March to invite large private labs, which can run thousands of tests a day, to begin testing, leaving the US with a backlog of swab samples even as case numbers double every two days.

Dr, testing isn’t going do anybody any good anyway. Cuomo said he needs 37,000 ICU beds and currently only has about 3500.

It’s too late.....

Hopefully we flatten the curve and not head towards Italy’s curve....

I’ve read reports where they didn’t take it seriously and are still way behind the US with response.

Dr, when do you expect the peak for the US?

I expect April 1

I still think something this bad was man made. Somebody didn’t intentionally let this loose. I feel mistakes happened and didn’t realize it was out and couldn’t contain it because they were kept quiet and didn’t want to alarm anybody at the time. They probably prayed that it would just affect a small amount of people and then it was too late as it consumed Wuhan. Just think of Chernobyl in 1986.

Either that or global warming melted some ice that was frozen for millions of years and bad germs escaped.

That is my opinion.

Please get on the phone with your contacts at the WH and let us know. He should be the guy steering the ship. The country needs to hear from a qualified expert. Thanks in advance.

He was probably being too honest and it scared Trump so he told him to tone it down...

I don’t know, I was expecting him today. He is a terrific Dr that tells the truth.

All work is voluntary going forward. Everyone could choose not to work without being penalized. Anyone who does work gets a $5 per hour increase for the time being.

Figured it was a matter of time til we stopped.

Stay safe and get caught up with the new PS4 games. I’m getting Doom tonight at midnight, that is when they are unlocking it. I was a first generation Doom players back in the 90s.

Now they are saying half of California will get this ****.

WTF!

After it wipes most of out there will really be some sort of a zombie apocalypse.

This is a movie that is turning bad fast.

The NBA is falling like dominos. Nets, Lakers, Celtic and 76ers have players who tested positive.

This is getting bad. Where do you hide?

I haven’t slept much these last 2 days

California has ordered their people to stay at home.

Geez, these are the same idiots who are now saying that they see a silver lining in this Coronvirus with China’s pollution being reduced.

Come lefties! Really?

Climate change drives epidemics?

These people, idiots, never stop!

De Blasio is an idiot!

The idiot is releasing prisoners because of the Coronvirus.

Now he is creating a public safety issue!

Thst sure makes sense!

Solving a public health problem by releasing prisoners?

Really?

What a joke!

Dr, you can blast Trump all you want about the slow response...

But back in January Trump, the Dem Congress priorities was IMPEACHMENT!

Wuhan was suffering and the Dems were more concerned with impeachment.

If it wasn’t for you this board would be a ghost town . Man I am scared

You too. Just ordered 3 more games - Remnant, Just Cause 4 and Assassins Creed Odyssey. I'll run inside the store and pick them up when I get off work Saturday, then home for a while.
I might go insane being stuck in the house 247 and playing stay at home dad during the day while the wife is able to work from home. We'll see.

I am truly scared man
