TPS Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: He didn't say it was a plan (until well after his initial tweet was circulated widely)-- he said it was already happening when it was not. BIG difference. He's a fear-monger with an agenda. He said they were out of respirators and they handing out the forms according to someone associated with the hospital. The hospital confirmed they have the policy but hasn't needed to use it yet--as of when they posted that tweet. Both of those could be true. Are you saying there is another tweet other than what Hedge posted?

She has already been notified she will be drafted (her words) into the hospital system for the Covid19 medical response. Tough thing for a young girl to experience right out of school but I am proud of her! She is a little nervous about it all but said see knows it's important. It seems to me we (US Citizens) should be more concerned about them than which politicians to defend. This is not directed to you just a belief that this "politics" thing is killing the country I love. Edited March 28, 2020 by ColoradoBills 3

I hope he acts to compel other companies, too. I think this first one was the most important to get the ball rolling. Now, companies that may have either been in negotiations to assist or who have watched from the sidelines, see that he will do it. I would think it would be more beneficial for these companies to do so voluntarily, more on their own terms (including the public relations aspect), than to be forced to do it. 1

Ventilation units???? What are you think they're trying to do, cool off apartment buildings??? That's the most ignorant thing I've ever read here and confirms my suspicion that there is no reason to ever read another word you post. 1 3

That’s why it can be highly misleading to count the deaths of those with “underlying medical conditions” as CV19 deaths, even if they test positive. Every single death attributed to CV19 here (Oregon) has been of a person with underlying medical conditions.

Unfortunately, you can't see what that form said because that tweet with the form is no longer up. Sorry, it's not clear to me what he is apologizing for. I wish I could read the responses to him. At any rate, I still like his daily overview of activities....

Many of those with complications can't get the care needed to get through it when hospitals are so overwhelmed. Hospitals have to choose who to focus on. They will focus on those who are young and without complications because the odds of survival are much higher.

Probably as well as a teacher, daycare worker, or someone with children. ? Seriously though, I have another one booked for later this year, and one for early next (Antarctica, not sure how else I could get there if not on a boat). Would love to go a cruise ship. But at this time not good idea lol. Hopefully this virus going away so you can go later this year Buffalo_Gal. 1 hour ago, TPS said: Yeah, I saw that.

Just wish this coronavirus didn't affect younger people icu and death. There has been lots. Would make it easier for those in need for survival older people and stuff. 1
