CPR in general doesn’t work too often. It usually works better in respiratory arrests, but that’s because if someone stops breathing you can often fix why they’re not breathing, like an overdose, reoxygenate them, and then get their heart started again.

When they’re not breathing because their lungs said “gently caress off, we’re full of ARDS goo”, you don’t really have a lot of options for reversing the underlying reason they coded in the first place.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
Last huge grocery delivery due today, we'll see what we get
In So Cal
Ordered apples and oranges, going to dip for 60 seconds in a 200 ppm bleach water solution and then rinse. <After research, I was going to use soap, but mom suggested this. Looks like it won't kill you and Corona might

Thats all the fresh I was willing to get.

IMPORTANT

Hospitals can and do frequently turn people away who need medical treatment. I know several people who were turned away from multiple hospitals for not having insurance, one of which was in kidney failure. The hospital told her her kidneys were failing, but since she had no insurance they wouldn't test to find out why, so now instead of having cured her treatable kidney failure, she's waiting on the transplant list.

Hospitals are just corporations, and they don't have any legal obligation to treat you. One of them is floating the idea of giving everyone with Coronavirus an involuntary DNR.

To clarify - hospital ERs will keep you from imminently dying, but once you are stable, if you don't have insurance/ability to pay, they will tell you to follow up with a PCP/specialist and discharge you, regardless of whether or not you are able to do so. Unless it's some weird circumstance, which happen every once in a while and are really bad for PR, even if you "need" treatment (most people do need some type of treatment) you will be stabilized and sent home. I'm not informed as to what would happen to people who come in while in respiratory distress and need intubation without family during a massive pandemic like this though. This often leads people to use the ER as a PCP - ie dialysis patients who can't afford dialysis will routinely come in to the ER over and over again when they are having an emergency, they get dialyzed (sometimes are admitted for a short time), then they throw them back out on the street ASAP.

Note: this is not defending the system, just clarifying how it works.

This proves my point. They can decide you aren't worth saving today, and nothing stopped them from doing it last year, and they did. No new law was passed that says they have to treat everyone except Coronavirus victims

I started calcing out the effect of Rona on voting demographics based on a few key assumptions (fatality vs age, 50% infection rate, % votes per age to dem/Rep). I didn't finish because there's too many variables but the simple version indicated (assuming everything else stays static) Rona would shift things a few three or so points towards the democrat. Not 'holy gently caress landslide shift' but a solid tick over.

No idea how that fits in with gerrymandering and all the other things that could negate that outcome.

Personally I think realizing the evil assholes at the helm and capitalism and lack of affordable healthcare killed hundreds of thousands to millions of people is going to do more to change voting dynamics than any direct impacts to the voter base.

If he's in arm reach, punch him in the face until he loses consciousness. If he resists, tell him being punched in the face happens to tens of thousands of people a year, so it's not a big deal that you are about to kick him asleep.

Hey maybe drop this on him. The swine flu of 2009 ended up killing ~12k people in the US. That was the count after the fact, when all the info was on the table. The death estimate DURING the outbreak was 87.

Right now the death estimate DURING the outbreak for COVID 19 is 1,382.

That's probably too high. On the diamond princess cruise ship, ~3700 were exposed, and less than 700 ever tested positive. And keep in mind that a cruise ship is a much older and sicker population than the country in general.

He is not - he lives in a very small town in way up northern quebec and he could pummel me into a pulp if we got into a fight.

DNR on coronavirus patients is also very deadly as it releases a lot of the virus from the patient, into the air, and can infect doctors and nurses. It's not worth the risk to do this with the lack of PPE.

I think you meant CPR, but yeah, dnrs will be quite deadly.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but generally people with DNRs don't even get ventilators, if you can't breathe you die.
