March Madness and Covid-19

[AdaSooner]

If you pray, please do it at home and don't put other peoples' lives in danger.

Good advice. Not necessary in my family’s case. Too bad members of that church in Arkansas didn’t heed the warnings.

"Put your hand on the radio":dance005:

I was raised going to the Church of Christ....haven't gone in decades..
There is certainly enough crap going on in religion to question one's beliefs.

16553 people have been cleared as "recovered." Represents 5.15% of the total cases (1st time this number has been achieved and the "16553" number grew by more than 10% over the previous day).

16553 people have been cleared as "recovered." Represents 5% of the total cases (1st time this number has been achieved and the "16553" number grew by more than 10% over the previous day).

We must not be doing too bad, huh?

We are doing awful, this is really bad. If you check the thread, when you asked me what my floor was for deaths, my answer was 70,000. Looks like I was way off.


(Or maybe it was Boulder that asked me, can't remember)

Our cases are growing exponentially, of course the number of people who recover is also going to grow, because obviously they don't all die, this isn't news. The news is that our curve is still almost straight up.

The larger the percentage of people recovered helps in a number of ways. They can donate their plasma to help those who are really sick, which creates more recovered who can then help others. Secondly, they can help others in their daily lives and not contaminate others in doing so.

Louisiana will reach their ventilator capacity this week according to their governor. This means that very soon doctors there will be literally deciding who lives and dies. I already told you guys about the Biloxi Mississippi VA, they have a refrigerated truck set up for the morgue overflow. Cases and deaths in Oklahoma are rising, we are well over 1,000 reported cases, deaths are lagging so expect that number to jump way up next week.

No they can't! They must stay at home and avoid coming in contact with the virus, this helps it spread!

The doctors may have to decide who is taken off the ventilators but the majority will be people who weren't going to recover. The stats of survivors who were on vents is very low unfortunately. The doctors usually can tell who is getting better has a viable chance of surviving on the vent. Frequently even in non Covid cases it is very obvious to the doctors that we are only prolonging death not preventing it from happening. It won't be easy to do but who gets to stay on one and who doesn't will be fairly clear to the medical personal.

The deaths will lag a week or two behind the total cases. It takes time to get that sick and die. What makes it even worse is the families aren't able to be with them when they die.

You're correct, but they will still have to make a decision that normally is left up to the family.

I’ve seen some places are having COVID recovered pts donate blood to COVID sick patients. The idea being, those that have recovered have antibodies and those antibodies may help COVID pts fight the virus. I haven’t seen the results of those experiments yet.

Yeah, I'm aware of that possible therapy, it might be helpful. What I was referring to was the idea that after they recover that they don't have to stay home anymore. They absolutely should remain at home and continue to shelter-in-place so as to avoid spreading the virus.

I dont seem to hear so much of the bellowing and whining about it being "overly restrictive" and "too much". funny.

I wonder if Tomi Lahren from Fox News is still "more worried about stepping on a used heroine needle than getting coronavirus"?

I’m sure she stocked up on fish tank cleaner so she’s not worried

Probably. She lives in California. That would be my bigger concern if I lived out there.

Crazy how intolerant the left is. Maybe crazy isn't the right word. Ridiculous?

You’re right, I’m not very tolerant of stupidity that might get people killed.

Oklahoma has a way higher opioid crises than California.
