88Comrade2000 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 1 hour ago, London Kev said: They just showed the NY Governor (Andrew Cumou?) on British TV, giving a statement about the virus. He first gave the facts and then gave his own personal take on it. It wasn't good news and he didn't pull any punches, but he came over as very sincere, intelligent and articulate.  Why the **** isn't this guy President? Well, if Joe hasn't locked up 1991 before the convention; we will go to a contested convention. Plenty of time then, if that happens, for Andrew to be the 2020 nominee instead of a future nominee.  Too bad, they aren't too many leaders like Cuomo, Newsome during this emergency.

twa Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 kinda interesting thread   pop density and mass transit in the NYC area might make a big difference, as well as the late effort at mitigation.  of course the testing level difference might be giving a false impression    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I sense a lot of folks are just waiting for everything to go back to normal (not necessarily here). Instead we all have to realize that this may be the normal for a while and this country needs to change (or prepare to do so) the way it does things for some time to come.   4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools are already shut down until May 1st, for example. They know you can not get comfortable with this virus. They are both doing a tremendous job and man, I was no fan of Garcetti going into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 ^^The son of a friend of ours left over the weekend for Army boot camp in MO. He was supposed to leave 3/17 but it was delayed. I was kind of surprised they didn't hold him somewhere for 14 days before the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveakl Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) This is from a good friend of mine:  www.checkforcorona.com  For the past 2 weeks, my project team and I have been developing a COVID-19 screening software. The tool serves in two ways: 1) helps focus healthcare resources on patients that really need help, and 2) calms fears and reduces demand on the healthcare system from people who are unlikely to need immediate assistance or testing. My team is working remotely from various different locations to integrate the application with healthcare and governmental agencies’ back-end systems, starting with the agencies in Houston/Harris County, TX. We are doing this pro-bono.  A freestanding version of the screener is now available at CheckForCorona. (A freestanding version not integrated with any city, state, or hospital, etc.) The tool leads you through questions relevant to COVID-19 and navigates you through the logic to reach guidance on your symptoms. The tool does NOT collect any personal information, although optionally sharing your zip code helps gather data on the potential level of exposure per region.  (Please note that just because you don’t have symptoms does not mean you are not infected.)  This is the *only* tool that is "official" using the up-to-date information on COVID-19. For example, for the Houston/ Harris County site launch (launched this Monday), my software project team (a collaboration of Luminare, Inc. and Cognitect, Inc.) has worked with doctors, nurses, city officials, state officials, call-centers, testing sites, police officers, judges, first responders, the Feds, Microsoft, etc. just to launch Houston/ Harris County. The next site is Fort Bend County, TX and more cities, hospitals, universities, etc. coming. I sincerely hope NC (or at least Raleigh) can get on board with this as we do not have a reliable tool in our region guiding our public and reducing unnecessary demand on our healthcare workers. Not to mention we do not want to waste any test kits while our country has so little of it.   Edited March 26, 2020 by daveakl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
