The Coronavirus thread

Focus on deaths and hospital capacity. Deaths fall on a weekly basis and health systems have plenty of surge capacity. Elderly and compromised will stay home & healthy sub 50 year olds are going to get infected, few will hospitalize & 99.9% will recover helping overall herd immunity. Therapeutics & Vaccines will continue to progress. Media/Libs will continue to scream about increasing case counts & how its all Donny's fault never mentioning BLM protests. It's all so contrived, predictable & boring.

Before BLM, Donny was calling support for protests to liberate states or did you forget? And he's the one who just had a mass rally, or did you forget?

I just got off the phone with a Lib
buddy and said all that to him.
That we need to get the virus in
dribs and drabs to build immunity
to it. That's how our immune
system works. And it's a great thing
that new cases are spiking, it means
tons of people have it and are showing
no symptoms.

Is there any basis in reality to this tweet or is it just a funny?

If the hospitals got short enough, it's still better to have a veterinarian intubate you, than no one, or a novice.

We did have different residents from different specialties rotate through our department. No OB-GYN residents though. And no non-anesthesia resident would ever intubate a COVID-19 patient, that's for sure. In some hospitals ER residents would do the intubations if they occur in an ER.

It doesn't look like high temperatures are going to knock down the Corona virus? It's been over a hundred every day for weeks. Several days over 110, and Az. is setting records for new infections.

FL and AZ are were all the old
people are. WA where the riots
were has deaths in the single
digits. MI is single digits and
teens. Even NY is in the 20's
and teens from a high of almost
a thousand a day. In MN where
the riots were they're finding
200-300 new cases a day, yet
deaths are in the single digits
and teens. In AZ they're finding
3000 new cases a day. Deaths
are in the 25-45 a day range
with some days last week as
low as 3. Find the stats for
regular flu and it will be about the
same.

If they're finding 3000 cases a
day and an average of 30 a
day are dying, that's 1% death
rate. 99% recover.

Hopefully there is a Coronavirus Vaccine before this year is over.
