My sister-in-law RN works in a rural Missouri hospital and she's been venting a lot to me lately because "the situation is way worse than people here think".

It's a smaller hospital, their supplies are already dwindling, few can get proper PPE, ICU space is already strained, and now they've started to see cases of community spread COVID. She says there's pressure from the hospital to not talk about shortages. They have 10 ICU beds and aren't doing anything to create more space. The hospital staff is delusional, they think COVID is only a risk to big cities.

So yeah, I think the midwest is a public health powder keg at the moment.

More like 1/21.

We have about a third of a billion with a world pop of 7 billion. The US is a tiny minority population wise.

If you only count countries that matter and that also aren’t evil empires (so basically Europe (but not Russia) and anglophone countries (but not India)) then I think you’ll find we probably make up at least a quarter.

Well, gently caress.

One of my dad's friends just died from covid. His wife couldn't be with him, of course, she was alerted via phone.

He was in his 50s, no underlying conditions, on a ventilator since last week but listed as stable as recently as yesterday. Just like a bunch of the other reports.

I'm keeping my parents locked in their house forever, looks like.

Have we seen any evidence that starting steroids after people stabilize on the ventilators will help stave off the cytokene CM?

Twoday where did you first pick up on this BCG thing

In late February I came to the conclusion myself after looking at some maps and thunking really hard about why the USSR/Warsaw Pact was so clearly visible on the map of infections despite the fact that there is a constant migration of workers between eastern and western Europe, and plentiful trade between China and Central Asia. I looked into what those countries were doing and they seemed to be testing and doing mostly the same as Western Europe. Rather than assuming that every country east of the Rhine was lying, I started wondering if the commies may have had a vaccine for this already, and started reading around, and eventually made that post

clearly I was not the only one to see this pattern

whats the uk situation re bcg because the deaths are taking off there

they used to do a universal shot at age 13, starting in the late 1950's (I think)

many countries with lower death rates started doing it at birth in the 40's (Germany, Brazil, India, Japan, USSR)

West Virginia prohibits all elective surgery, including abortions, attorney general says
From CNN’s Joe Youorski
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s order Tuesday prohibiting elective surgeries state-wide includes abortions, according to West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.

“Yes, it also applies to abortion facilities as well, but it’s a broad-based prohibition,” Morrissey said in a news conference with the governor.
Morrissey added that the state is doing this in order to conserve supplies, protective equipment and access to ventilators.

Yeah any time I've brought up the severity at work here in TN I usually get met with "well our demographics are better and we will be fine because there's less people" despite the state refusing Medicare expansion and shutting down like 10 rural hospitals in as many years.

:votegop:

I am in middle TN and the remaining rural hospitals are horribly unprepared for this. They just send everyone to Vanderbilt or St. Thomas. All the rest are now for profit and will sue the poo poo out of you if you can not pay or have no insurance. poo poo is going to be wild.
