I work at Mayo. This is exactly what happens when anyone else shows up without a mask. This fiasco is generating some discussion. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Am I right in thinking that, ultimately, the antibody test will be a better indicator of our national “health/status” than just endlessly testing everybody all the time? Seriously, I’m asking... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federal government is handling this as well as someone with no hands trying go jump rope. Will the car drive without gas? What if we put gas in it? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fiasco is generating some discussion. I'm curious if they said that to him but he refused (why??). That would have been super awkward and weird. Do you deny entrance to the VP in that situation if you're in charge of the facility? Clearly someone made the decision to let him go in regardless. I'm starting to wonder if Pence is nearly as dumb as Trump is, or if it's simply Trump rubbing off on him. We're talking about the same guy who did this: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I’m asking... The antibody test is one aspect of determining the extent of virus spread, who has been exposed. Although it's been observed that persons who had it again tested positive. That's dangerous because if they are positive again they could infect others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernatural24 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Democracy Now: Known U.S. Deaths Top 56,000 as New Study Shows True Number Likely Much Higher Quote A new study by a team at the Yale School of Public Health found there were over 15,000 excess deaths in the United States during the month of March and first days of April. The figure is nearly double what officials have been citing as the death toll from the pandemic during that period.

Bacon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'll bet that quite a few of those excess deaths weren't directly caused by COVID-19 but instead represent people with heart conditions and other illnesses who were afraid to go to the ER: https://www.mercurynews.com/coronavirus-bay-area-ers-are-eerily-empty-and-worried-youre-too-afraid-to-visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Trump think covid-19 is going to simply go "well, I think my job here is done" and retire after April? We're gonna hit 60,000 by tomorrow afternoon.

It may have been changed again...not sure if these projections are for the end of May or not: "The University of Washington’s IHME model, which is used by the White House and other government agencies for guidance, is now projecting a higher US death toll from COVID-19. Late Monday, the model increased its projected death toll to 74,073, up from nearly 67,000 a week ago, and 60,000 two weeks ago." https://www.wtxl.com/news/coronavirus/model-used-to-project-impact-of-covid-19-projects-higher-death-toll-in-the-us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) That's what Ive been seeing, too, their models projected # of dead by August and it's going up since 1st spike "ended".

Bacon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Not sure if anyone noticed this, but there is a 70,000+ range of uncertainty that they've included into their projections. There is more to an estimate that utilizes scientific modeling than one absolute figure. The range they have is 56,000-130,000 dead by August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 As I get older I find myself less & less bothered by stupid people. I used to feel sorry for them or try to offer help. Now? Even if it means sure death to somebody, I really dont care any more. I won't encourage it, but please, if you feel the urge, drink it.

What I am thinking is why shut down the whole plant and not just quarantine it after it is discovered who it is. Shut down for a day or two. Sanitize and continue the work. My friend who got covid-19 at Amazon warehouse was quarantined and they santazied the whole place and the operation continued. I was being facetious about eating raw meat though. I hope you got that. If you don't know if the meat came after or before the infection news then just make sure you handle and cook the meat properly and the cooking temp is 165+.

China Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Iran: Over 700 dead after drinking alcohol to cure coronavirus More than 700 people have died in Iran after ingesting toxic methanol, erroneously thinking it can cure the new coronavirus. The national coroner's authority said that alcohol poisoning killed 728 Iranians between February 20 and April 7. Last year there were only 66 deaths from alcohol poisoning, according to the report.

We were talking about the Federal government ordering factories to operate when the owners felt the best policy was to close. I'd chose not to use that produce as I do not know what health and safety risks are involved for the workers, or for my family as consumers.
