Cripple Creek Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Quote On Thursday, a group of economic luminaries, including the past two Federal Reserve chairs, and chief economists and Treasury secretaries from both Democratic and Republican administrations, released a letter arguing that the path back to a functional economy runs through sound public health measures. “Saving lives and saving the economy are not in conflict right now; we will hasten the return to robust economic activity by taking steps to stem the spread of the virus and save lives,” they wrote. https://www.vox.com/coronavirus-covid19/2020/3/27/21193879/coronavirus-covid-19-social-distancing-economy-recession-depression 1 1

It’s beyond comprehension that it’s even a question with some. 1 1

BillsFan4 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 From the family: Quote Laura is a young, healthy and vibrant 31 year old woman living in New York City. She works for a small non-profit garden in Manhattan. Quote She started to have some respiratory trouble for only a couple days and then was brought to a hospital in Worcester, MA while visiting her parents there. When she arrived at the hospital, she was admitted for pneumonia and COVID-19. On the 3rd or so day of experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, she was soon intubated and put on a ventilator. Her health deteriorated very rapidly due to the virus, and she went into acute respiratory failure. She was transferred to a different hospital in Boston, MA via helicopter. She was able to survive the flight and is now settling in at the new Boston hospital, where they have the option of ECMO for her.Since she is quarantined, her family and friends cannot visit her. The distance they must spend apart during this time is especially heartbreaking. We would give anything to just hold her hand and tell her to keep fighting. We know she can hear our prayers, though.

Not afraid to admit that I’m scared of this thing, and especially scared for my loved ones at higher risk than me (though I’m not low risk myself).

Awaiting coronavirus test results. This virus is no joke folks. Late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning at around 2:30am I woke up and had a fever of 100.6. I rested all day yesterday, self medicated, and am 100% better today. But I was scared s**tless all day yesterday that I would get worse and be on my way to the hospital. I am reading way too many stories of people way younger than me who get this virus, end up in the hospital, and die. Agree that it’s about as serious as it can get. And yes, my early opinion of not closing everything down was way, way wrong. The optimist in me wanted to believe that it was just another overblown government directive. 3 1

K-9 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Don’t know if anyone saw today’s daily briefing, but what Fauci said at the end was sobering. He said this virus is unprecedented. This is a man who has been at the forefront of research in the fight against some of the worst viruses we’ve known. When he says this thing is something he’s never seen, it gives me pause. 3

The first covid-19 death in MO was a patient in a Life Care Center Nursing Home. If that name sounds familiar, it's the home where 37 patients died in Seattle. Announced today 6 covid-19 diagnoses at a Life Care Center Nursing Home in St Louis. Get this, the first patient was sent to hospital March 18. Test result returned today. A test that takes 10 days to get results is pretty much teats on a chicken to medical care OR to tracking and containing an epidemic. 1 hour ago, zow2 said: That's awful.
