We are struggling to produce a million test kits, so it is just a dream. man you seen how far they stick that thing up your nose?

PeterMP Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I'll also add, I think it is actually unlikely we'll have to shut things down for 12 months. The news on the drug front is looking good. And there's even some evidence that the HIV protease that appears to have failed in S. Korea was not our best bet at finding an effective protease inhibitor. I suspect we'll see some clinical trials start up w I do think if we can act to keep things slow for another 2 weeks it is likely that we'll have some ways to treat it in larger scale clinical trials. Yes, a lot of people will still get sick, but if you have some good drugs you should be able to cut the length of hospitalizations (which means the healthcare system is less likely to get overwhelmed), the number of deaths and even the number of people that live but suffer long term consequences. I'm more hopeful that getting back to normal in a few weeks is much more likely than I was 3 days ago.

Jumbo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 guys, please stop yourselves skintime, there's a lot i could say about where you may be right and ti what degree and where you might be wrong etc., but not gonna do it what i will suggest is you recognize that twa gets to you in general and you snap every now and then in a way that gets you in trouble cuz you go too personal and off-topic so just stop doing it, or do it better to avoid another temp ban...i usually hate those 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So companies would be opening up themselves to lawsuits by letting infected people work with healthy people. Let someone get severely sick and all bets are off. This is going to be a mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 2 hours ago, tshile said: im very close to telling my employer I cannot work. we are two working parent household and my wife works in the medical field and is directly involved in this. So she cannot participate in the running the house at all. not sure what the employer will say but we’ve already discussed that we can make it on her income and if the boss isn’t willing to work on this reasonably then I’ll resign. Sucks but you play the cards you’re dealt. You might want to research the proposed unemployment and extended paid leave being discussed in proposals. There may be options besides resigning that protect some of your income/benefits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These past 2 weeks I was shocked that our society was actually going to value life and people over what we think of as a "successful economy".... now that people are seeing the impact... its "throw grandma off the train." Even people who think our economy is structured poorly has too much debt... even they seem worried about protecting the economy over people. It's more than a little ironic to me that most of the same folks espousing the economy first position are also right to life evangelicals. So, they will bomb your abortion clinic or murder a doctor for killing an almost but not quite person, they'll march outside your hospital if you want to disconnect a brain dead patient, but when it comes to saving tens or hundreds of thousands of viable, extant lives, they're all about dat cheedah first baby! ...because that's what Jesus would do.🙄 They're as full of 💩 as their pimp preachers. Maybe they should change the name of the movement to "Right to life....for the ROI". 1 hour ago, spjunkies said: Correction.

I honestly think this is going to be in the endgame. We wasted so much time, and our national leaders are injecting so much idiocy that the health care system won't be able to handle.
