Italy figured out how to keep its medical staff from catching covid. Our CDC however still puts out guidelines saying that it is not necessary, and our medical workers are catching it. I am shocked.

Anyone that payed even a small amount of attention to how quickly it spread and how well it spread should not be surprised. It's the morons that tried to act like it was nothing and everything is fine that got so many more people infected and killed.

CDC issues new guidelines for essential workers who have been exposed to coronavirus

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield issued new guidelines for essential workers who have been exposed to the coronavirus, saying individuals would need to be asymptomatic to return to work

The guidelines, he said, are aimed at keeping essential workers, including first responders, health care workers, employees in the food supply chain and others at work -- even if they might have been exposed to someone who has coronavirus.
"�These are individuals that have been within six feet of a confirmed case or a suspected case so that they can, under certain circumstances, they can go back to work if they are asymptomatic,� Redfield said. "

Redfield said those individuals could return to their jobs if they take their temperature before work, wear a face mask at all times and practice social distancing at work.

He reiterated that people should stay home if they feel sick, should not share items used on or near their face and should refrain from congregating in break rooms and other crowded places.

The CDC�s new guidelines also outlined steps employers should take, including checking temperatures before employees start work, sending anyone who becomes sick home and cleaning commonly touched surfaces more frequently, among others.

They want more people infected. They know that people exposed and not symptomatic can pass it on.

In shocking news to absolutely no one, fish tank pills do not help against covid and give you heart problems.

quote:

A drug that's been touted by President Donald Trump as a "game changer" didn't help hospitalized patients with coronavirus and was associated with heart complications, according to a new study.
"This provides evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not apparently treat patients with Covid 19," said Dr. Paul Offit, an infectious disease specialist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "Even worse, there were side effects caused by the drug -- heart toxicities that required it be discontinued."

Uh. Ya I think I'm done reading news for a while.

As Hannity, arguably Trump's top supporter on cable television, discussed how to end the shutdown and get Americans back to work, Oz offered up an idea.
Reopening schools across the country might be "an appetizing opportunity."

He cited an article in a medical journal which said it "may only cost us two to three percent in terms of total mortality."

"We need our mojo back," Oz told Hannity, contending that reopening schools "with the theoretical risk on the backside" might "be a trade-off some folks would consider."

Dr. Phil

McGraw is not a medical doctor; he holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, but is not licensed to practice.

On Thursday night he appeared on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show where he appeared to criticize the shutdown.

"The economy is crashing around us and they're doing that because people are dying because of coronavirus," McGraw said. "I get that, but look, the fact of the matter is we have people dying -- 45,000 people a year die from automobile accidents, 480,000 from cigarettes, 360,000 from swimming pools -- but we don't shut the country for that."
"But yet," he added, "We're doing it for this and the fallout is going to last for years because people's lives are being destroyed."

There are a lot of nursing homes not reporting covid deaths and a lot of others who died and will not get tested. The actual death count is at least 20% higher if not more.

An autopsy in California has revealed that the first US coronavirus-related death came weeks earlier than previously thought.

The first previously known death in the US was in Seattle on 26 February and the first in California on 4 March.

New information from a Santa Clara county coroner changes that timeline.

Autopsies on two people who died on 6 February and 17 February show they died with Covid-19.

Samples from the autopsies were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which confirmed the presence of the virus, California's Santa Clara County coroner's office said in a statement on Tuesday.

The death of a third Santa Clara individual on 6 March has also been confirmed to be coronavirus-related.

"These three individuals died at home during a time when very limited testing was available only through the CDC," the coroner statement said.

I hope that those who die get tested so we can see the true numbers.

the federal government doesnt actually want that to happen

edit : oh and covid is causing large arterial clots in people under 50

Speaking of nazis and our military

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/26/us/justin-rohrwasser-tattoo-trnd/index.html

cnn fake news outlet posted:

New England Patriots rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser said Saturday he will cover up a controversial tattoo he got as a teenager.
The tattoo on his left arm resembles the symbol of a right-wing group called "The Three Percenters."
"I got that tattoo when I was a teenager and I have a lot of family in the military," Rohrwasser said on a conference call with reporters.
"I thought it stood for a military support symbol at the time," Rohrwasser said. "Obviously, it's evolved into something that I do not want to represent."

"When I look back on it, I should have done way more research before I put any mark or symbol like that on my body, and it's not something I ever want to represent," the 23-year-old said. "It will be covered."

Covered. Not removed. Funny that.

If you think military support symbolism is a nazi symbol, maybe the people you know in the military are nazis
