Coronavirus Epidemic

[RoadRunner]

I'm curious as to why the resident "health expert" hasn't chimed in lately. I guess all the predictions he spoke of, are not happening?

So where is HKShooter? Did he get the Rona?

Yes, he died from the rona. He will go down in the history books as a hero. He fought and died on the rona battlefield. He may even get a medal for his brave service as a doctor on the front lines.

Why thank you Roadrunner for that update. I about fell out of my chair from laughing so hard at you post. I probably should be ashamed of myself, but I'm not!

Yup. Seen a couple in China Town when we were there over Thanksgiving. I don’t think an NUC wet market is the same as a Chinese One.

Betcha there’s a more than a few in San Francisco and LA, too.

In the Philippines a dry market is one where you would buy things like clothing and household good. A wet market is one where you would buy meat and vegetables.

Yeah, I'm sure the animals sold are nothing similar, lol.
I was just surprised to find out.

I used to regularly shop a Vietnamese wet market in MidTown before I retired. Loved the place. There were no bats or weird lizards available but the whole roast duck for $5 sure beat McDonalds for lunch.

He opened up a wet market in Plainview.

I forget.
How many deaths per year are from medical mistakes?

Dwell on that for a bit.

~250,000 annually. Seems like beer flu is killing that number too, since most elective procedures have been turned off for the last month or so.

It seems that the definition of "elective procedures" is overly broad, too. We saw a news story that showed that lifesaving cancer procedures and even kidney transplants were being postponed. Amazing! I guess in the early panic period when maybe they truly thought hospitals were going to be overrun, but if I was a family member, I would be looking for hell to pay.

So now there are no medical mistakes. It's all Rona.
That should lower malpractice insurance and therefore doctors bills.

Between 250,000 and as high as 440,000. In United States alone.

Just to show how deep the stupid flows....

On Abbott's FB page, I have steadily pushed for stylists and barbers to be allowed to open. I have friends in these professions that are suffering due to lack of income.

One person, who wants them to stay closed under threat of fine and imprisonment, replied, "Petty demanding haircuts. How do people have money for haircuts when they're demanding that the economy open so they can work?"......

.....yes, she's a Bernie Bot....

Remember folks, these are the same "experts" that the media is using to tell us all about the Bat Flu

A friend on Facebook posted how bad the virus is and linked a LA times article. The article mentioned a "study" of 19 patients, a review of 12 patients and a study of 191 patients. The study of 191 mentioned higher mortality in the elderly and people with high organ failure assessment scores. There were a lot of "may" and "might" statements in the article. There were a lot of comments to the post saying how bad things are and how scary. I wrote a paragraph in response but I deleted it instead of posting because I know how it would turn out.

They can get back to me when they have a study group that's anywhere near statistically significant. I won't even make fun of them missing a basic control group, let alone double blind procedures.

I’ll just leave this here. Mark my words, your gonna see $16/hr minimum wage attached to whatever the Ds send up wherever they exist in a majority.
