Coronavirus politics and news.

If the death rate was higher then you’d have a point.....

We must help each other out.

We are all in this together bro...

Relax goddamn it!

We will get through this and once the peak hits we can see normal activities getting closer again...

I feel MLB will start June 1

I will be surprised if baseball starts at that time

By listening to their questions from the mainstream media these idiot reporters just WANT DOOM AND GLOOM responses from Trump..

If he is positive they want negative.

He NEVER GUARANTEED ANYTHING yet the reporters ask dumb questions, Fckn dumb!

Even during a crisis these ******* reporters still try to put traps out...

Awful reporters!

[rrzubnyy]

Trump correct!

We need to work together..


Damn reporter only mentions republicans who sold their stock prior to the collapse and I’m glad Trump asked that idiot why she didn’t mention the Democrats who did the same exact thing.

Pretty sad if reporters that we have to see in 2020. Most are awful!

And those awful ones are the same ones who would NEVER ask the same questions if Obama was going through this terrible crisis.

So selective and political by the hackers that they call themselves reporters..


Ask the tough questions but be fair and balanced. If Trump is wrong then call him out but to just ask questions with traps or to make him respond back is an obvious setup question so their paper or TV programs have something to blast Trump... it is so hilarious and this is not a time to laugh....

Serious crap going on and some of the these reporters are just being used by their employers....

The peak is when we will know how bad it is. Hopefully we flatten that curve with all of the precautionary measures so far.

Dr, how are you doing? We may disagree with politics but we are still like one big family on this forum. Hope all stays safe.

And I still think something this bad is man made. The death rate is very alarming and that is why I say that somebody created this stuff.

And why in 2020 when technology is at its highest can a virus like this strangle the World?

Why didn't something like this pop out in say 1965 when it was harder to knock a virus out?

From the Spanish flu(1917)-2020 nothing has ever been this bad GLOBALLY, nothing that is this contagious by touching something or getting a droplet from a sneeze. It had to be manufactured by man IMO.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but things I read make me turn my head a little.

And it takes a full 12-18 months to develop a vaccine? Really?

We could all be dead by that time.

Somebody needs to step up and find a cure to this madness. World WarS were certainly bad but life went on for the most part during 1939-1945. This is worse IMO.

Mush, not being sarcastic at all, I really appreciate that about you. We may all fight like cats and dogs but there is alot of family on here especially for us old timers. Thanks u for reminding us of that.

To all my PSD family and friends stay safe, best wishes, prayers and health, to u and your loved ones

I’m starting to feel July 1 at best...

Maybe start Aug1 and have an March Madness type tournament but with 5 game series played before advancement.

The season is probably wrecked anyway so that is why if things get better let’s just scrap the season and dive into a tournament instead.

All teams would have a chance!

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.

Believe it or not re-using masks is not a problem. The CDC recommendations currently state that is fine, and it makes sense as this virus is not aerosolized.

Even with active TB?

I was wondering how you were doing. Are you actively dealing with this? Or just waiting in the wings till needed?

I'm on the front lines. We have had >30 positive tests at my hospital and all survived. The death rate from this is about 1.4% in the US among CONFIRMED cases. We are not even testing people who are not that sick. The actual mortality rate is really low here so far. We are doing really well. I have worked many shifts since this started, and my hospital is pretty well prepared. We all have enough protective equipment for now and there is more coming. We have set up trailers in our parking lot to help decentralize people with the virus and keep as much of it out of the main hospital as possible. Our providers have all stepped it up beyond belief and are out there putting themselves on the line for all of you. I'm very proud of my team, who has done a great job and are all keeping each other safe, while caring for people in need. I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about the elderly, chronically ill, and immunocompromised. We are here to help them.

Active TB has it's own set of recommendations. Honestly I haven't reviewed them in a while. I can't speak to appropriate precautions with TB right now but I'll get back to you on that.

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.

I've been saying this too... it looks like something from a bio-weapons lab that got loose... which would also be why China refused the WHO entry to try to contain... they would have found out and bio-weapons are a no-no with the UN...

First off, China did not refuse WHO entry for containment! They were late / negligent in reporting the RNA sequencing of covid-19 in a timely manner. If you have documented proof of this, otherwise conspiracy theory, I would be interested to review.

Dude. You rock. Thanks for your service with this. And it is service. Every healthcare worker is doing national service imo.

I’m glad to hear the mortality rate is that low. (Nicky and Jorge may calm down a bit)

One of the two that are freaking out most on here now is the one that gave me **** when this first started and I gave the administration **** for how they were handling it. Go figure.
