Obviously;

the high density of population" Areas ............are overwhelmed ....(Natural Lack of Distancing)

The rest of the country is Lucky ----the outbreak of infection is not as bad (Natural Distance -open space)

Its not that hard to understand!!!!!

this is very good news. this means that social distancing, self-quarantining, and
shutting down non-essential parts of the economy have mitigated the worst
case scenarios so far. For this Dr. Fauci and trump deserve some credit.

Very interesting stuff. Just talked to a friend of mine who works in the medical field in Texas. He’s been at the hospital and says they are sending staff home.


But not for the reasons that the Klannies here will tell you.


But he said.... “most hospitals in Texas are starting to empty because people are afraid. All the patients who probably didn’t need to come to the hospital are staying home.”

People are self quarantining with symptoms and I think people keep hearing how hospitals are the worst place to be due to being completely alone ina hospital with this shit going around. People trying to deal with it themselves unless they absolutely have to come in.

Says his hospital can hold 210 patients. It’s at 71 as of yesterday.


So. It’s not because omg this virus doesn’t exist it’s media hysteria. Lmfao face)(*^%

I have family that works in hospitals up and down California.

1. - None of the hospitals are packed. They're actually dead.
2. - Strangely, their supplies are low and no way ready to handle a crush if it comes.

If a few people would get out of the metro-NY bubble, they would understand that, west of the Mississippi, people don't live in 650sq foot apartments, in 40-floor buildings modeled after Cabrini Green. They also tend not to have eight people in that space and, therefore, can follow the guidelines with or without a mask. NY/NJ were slow to act and no one tells these independent folks what to do. You have to live with the result, but in about 45 other states, it's a bad flu ruining the economy and causing empty hospitals and closed medical service centers.

My friend again in the medical field in Texas...said Doctors are telling people to not come in unless they absolutely have to. Said they cut elective surgery as well. Which reduced a lot of patients.


So sorry propaganda puppets. Not the reasoning you wanted.

Hospitals/ER.

I don’t think New York has that luxury though.....


New York's update:

- Number of new cases up by 29%

- Record number of 779 new deaths

- More cases than any country outside US

Hospitals are empty b/c all of those hypochondriachs (sp) are staying home b/c they know if they go to the hospital, they could catch something.

Elective surgeries have been cancelled so there really isnt much action going on.

So unless its not a life or death situation, people are NOT in hospitals.

On another note, i just spoke with someone earlier today who tested positive for corona virus. She said he had a really bad cold for 2 or 3 days. However her boyfriend (who gave it to her) was in the hospital for 9 days. She told me it was scary shit.

Most important- be smart and stay safe!!

People were getting overly excited here because of two positive days. Got to wait for a trend. This shit has yet to peak....even in New York.

Some of you people are clueless. My daughter works in SOUTH JERSEY HOSPITAL. ( Vineland and Mullica Hill ) she has been working 16 hour shifts and sleeping at the hospital. 200 more deaths for NJ today. 4 to 6 hour waits in emergency rooms.

probably because they were short staffed to begin with. certainly this make believe virus isn't causing her to work extra. do not believe for one second that there is a 4-6 hour wait in the emergency room. why do you make this stuff up.
