Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

We still got these fucking loonies ruining it for everyone.

This piece of news wouldn't be nearly as infuriating to read if the leadership in Florida had, at least, closed the beaches during Spring Break two weeks ago.

Florida is definitely going to be one of those states who are going to get absolutely fucked by Corona. Probably going to become the next New York in another week or two.
 
Alright let's try this again. The guy in the video is very obviously partisan. You may enjoy the video better on mute.

But that hospital definitely doesn't look like it is overrun and a "warzone" in the way some of the media have described it. For the staff inside I imagine this is quite stressful and difficult to be going through. But the media are not talking about the doctors when they try to scare the public with Warzone Hospital 2020.

This illustrates the frustrations people are starting to have with this. Going all the way back to the outbreak in Wuhan. We keep hearing anecdotal tales of horror and brief snippets of commando video like the woman being stuffed into a box screaming. But in today’s age, where everybody has a camera, there is remarkably little actual first person coverage. We hear hospitals are swamped war zones. But no news crews bother to swing past the hospital to interview anybody in charge. We get no ER footage, when we always get ER footage. Everybody is pitching a narrative, but nobody is reporting on what is actually happening on the ground. Instead all we get is trash like “Coronavirus, much worse for Troons” articles. This is a situation where the public needs to be shown, not told.

It takes a lot more than a disease to stop the raw power that is Florida Man.
 
Finland today.
We decied to extend our restrictions about boarders and schools etc by a month, was supposed to end on 13th. Even stricter boarder control measures are suggested. Those would concern business travel. Archive

Traffic today at Uusimaa border. Police said in the morning traffic the car line was up to kilometers long. By 6.PM total of 38 265 cars were checked, of those only 156 was turned back. Archive

And hurricane season is approaching :D
 
If even an iota of this is true, then I want Trump to issue a permanent travel ban to AND from China whenever all of this is over. Suspend any trade deals indefinitely, too. I want the country to be absolutely SHUNNED like Cuba was until Obama decided to make nice with those commies a few years ago.

One positive thing about this, though, is that I'm seeing a lot of nations within the past week starting to sing a very different tune about China (especially after China has shipped them medical items with atrocious, unusable quality ... Including innacurate tests!). The world is pissed, and I've found that more and more countries are becoming unafraid to hide it anymore, political correctness be damned. That's what I call some progress.

Fuck China, fuck its government, and fuck its culture.

How does a fascist ethnostate with stinking, festering hive-cities like open sewers and people boiling dogs alive in the public square constantly get defended by dumbass liberals?

The answer is simple. An utterly shameless propaganda machine that would make Goebbels blush.

Yeah, went to the county hospital this morning. Doctor's office co-located with the county hospital. Ops seemed normal where I went, except for signs and a person asking questions. Didn't go into main hospital, but doubt things were any different. No sense of urgency or crisis.

There's a bunch of churches in my neck of the woods, some very independent churches you might say, yet they are closed and holding services on internet, etc. Perhaps this is what separates churches from cults? I am stunned by this worldwide flowering of religious maniacs endangering the lives of others because they are special somehow. All the cults, from Liberty University, to Scientology, to two bit african tent preachers are gathering their hordes together to go be the biggest damn vector ever.
 
All of them, I hope. But baring that, I’d settle for half of the drug addict population being wiped out. Even a third would be pretty nice.
We need a "deturte" rating.

I worry what will happen when the drug supplies begin to dry up. Surely the supplies from china has long dried up and cartels are beginning to run out of raw materials by now? Not sure what would be worse, being surrounded by possibly hundreds of Heroin addicts cut off or a handful of Meth addicts cut off....
 

"Stay-at-home" in effect until June 10th (preliminary) for the state of Virginia. As sad as it is, I think more states extend it to this long as time passes.

A megachurch in Warren County, Ohio was and might still be holding in-person services. This county has 20 cases as of yesterday.

At least this other huge church is being a good boy.

simply put I'm the autopsy assistant; path lab/epidemiology dept.

we take samples, run tests and do diagnostic work on anyone died who needs a CoD.

Again? If it's assumed to be Covid that killed them why even bother to take anything other than minor sampling to determine that. If you can discreetly puncture lung tissue to biopsy after death and determine from that and mucus easily collected otherwise. I don't see why you'd be cracking open a body to look at the lungs. Whose the one directing you to do that?

A lot of hospital related deaths aren't autopsied at all. Autopsy rates in America are around 8.5%. Unless there are concerns as a result of a healthy younger people who died or death under suspicious circumstances they usually aren't done. Many hospital deaths of older people especially with co-morbidity are just declared and picked up by a funeral home. Autopsy is not the standard in most cases. Unless you're making the claim that there's a mass government cover-up and this is en-mass killing young people. A 60+ year old dying from respiratory problems when there's a world wide pandemic would not even be recommended for autopsy, it'd probably just be considered the cause of death anyway. Autopsying them would be a waste of resources.

If it is en-mass killing perfectly healthy young people how exactly are they covering it up? You can't slap Little Johnny with heart failure as a COD and think his family is gonna be cool with that when they know he was perfectly healthy. You don't just get to keep bodies either. That's a good way to make people real angry if you prevent them from having access to their deceased loved ones.

You've also been saying repeatedly that the dead aren't being tested so?

I was only exposed because some fucking idiot decided to eat lunch or something upstairs where there's live, infected people and then come waltzing around the path lab without a mask on. morons. the living are morons.

That's not what you claimed?

well I'm officially quarantined.
no test yet. unless I get symptoms. we have someone on the floor we work on who popped up with fever and is up in the ICU now.

You're saying someone who works on the floor you work on decided to purposely eat lunch in a different area where patients known to have Corona are? then came down to your lab? but you were only quarantined after they showed up in the ICU with symptoms.

cuddle striker said:
so my exposure was actually an infected colleague, not a patient or a body.

A colleague, that works on your floor, who went out of the way to go to another floor to eat lunch around active corona patients who is now in ICU that came down to your lab without a mask on. Which makes you just as at risk as anyone else?

Hospital morgues are never on the same floor as places where patients might wander because America likes to keep death out of sight and mind, so the messy nature of it is hidden from public eyes. So your colleague really went out of their way to go somewhere they'd be exposed.

You made this post

11 - Copy.png


on Friday. No test, unless you get symptoms.

22 - Copy.png

on Sunday you made this post. You've now had a test and tested negative and will be back to work. What changed? did you start showing symptoms? and if that's the case you're still sick with something that is giving you similar symptoms?

The Tuesday before, March 24th, you made this post

ground report

we have another tests shipment. drive through testing. again only with symptoms, no doctor's note needed this time though

stupidly, we are still not testing anyone asymptomatic.

local hospital system now accepting hand sewn cloth masks for personnel who are cleaning/etc in infected patient areas. bad idea.

my department slowed up a little; they've closed the state, now, no inessential business allowed.
agriculture is essential. pharmacy. us. my second job will probably be gone for months I think.

I tested negative.
I'm home, deciding if I go back in or not. I may use my sick time until things there get desperate; after all, the dead can wait forever, until they start stacking up. and we are ahead for today. I might wish I'd taken the few days to rest, next week, if a wave crashes.

A doctor who has treated one of these cases can tell the difference between this and flu. I do think that if we weren't tacitly being pressured not to report, they'd be allowing diagnoses based on sign and symptoms, without testing, for those who are sick. There's a different quality to the cough, the mucus and the behavior of the patients. it's very different from flu.

I'm going to have tea and try to sleep.

edit to add: this is a small city. not Seattle.
we will get overwhelmed much faster in rural hospitals. some only have the one ICU. rural areas, as is standard, will be shipping their patients in to the cities for treatment.

Where you claim they are only testing those who are symptomatic, you also claim at this point you've been tested and it was negative. So you've now been tested twice? and both times you were negative? the only indication of a symptom you had was a sore throat, as per your post on the 22nd

edited to add; my throat has been sore all day. but I spent yesterday screaming all day at people and talking constantly, so.

So if you can get test based on a mild sore throat, they really aren't being that picky. Whereas all your other posts make it seem like it's a big problem and not enough people are getting tested because of lack of tests and requiring multiple symptoms. Yet they've tested you twice; once when you had a sore throat and once when you no apparent system but were possibly expose but not giving the very minimum of fives days.

when I get back tomorrow the protocol now is to do a slide of lung, mucus membrane, eye, and liver. nothing more. so it'll be assembly line from here on out.

cuddle striker said:
edited to add: we were pressured, covertly, to under report. we are not doing that.

Again. If they're just going to lie about it anyway from your claims and are putting pressure on you to under-report why would they even bother to have this done? Especially when you're repeatedly made claims they are not testing the dead.

125.

news report: 45

that's my ground report from shift.

knowing epidemiology; stop defending trump. he fucked up. own it.

yes biden is a drooling moron.

That's a pretty big numbers difference, there, if you're trying to further state that you aren't under-reporting but the media is, so I ask again. If you aren't lying and they just not correctly reporting. What is going on the death certificates for these young healthy people you claim are dying if not Covid? because if there's some massive cover-up of cause of death that's a much bigger problem. Not to mention if it's all these healthy young people the families attached to them aren't going to be too happy with a death certificate that doesn't add up.

You also claim

So you're a small city with an, I assume, rural hospital by the 'we' that doesn't have much of an ICU but you have a department for autopsy and were doing autopsy in the time of a known pandemic when you are being pressured to under-report and know they were not testing the dead.

Cuddle Striker said:
the state is on lockdown so we should hit our peak this week or next, then hopefully it slows down before we get to the cordwood-stack stage of this.

You've been coming in making claims that enough hasn't been done and it's going to get bad, really bad, now you're backpedaling and saying it'll peak because of what's been done. Your comments on test availability, testing of the dead, etc flip flop. You push the 'young healthy people are getting sick' and you're seeing too many otherwise young, healthy people on your table. You repeatedly come in making commentary about how bad it is, you talk about the ways you've been exposed, yet you've managed to get tested and been negative twice. You smoke and you make posts about how you're thinking well maybe you won't go back, you'll take your sick days, then you're 'diving right back into the fray'

All your information is just vague enough to be possible to not PL yourself but could also be gleaned from information released to the public.
 
Governor Gretchen Whitmer

Four ventilators for Bill deBlasio! You go, deBlasio! And none for Gretchen Wieners! Bye!

Very curious as to how many addicts are dying now that the EMT's are too busy to provide Narcan on demand.

There's obviously loads more EMTs than they need. That's why they could sack one for making off-color jokes on a podcast (Archive). Journalists, however, are a vital resource and none can be spared which is why they can get away with saying much worse. Clearly journalism is a hard, thankless, skilled profession with a shortage of people whereas loads of people are queueing up to be EMTs so they can go out late at night and inject Narcan into hostile addicts in return for a shitty wage. I guess we need journos to protect us from edgy teenagers and if those journos make edgy jokes themselves we should just ignore it. They're just letting off steam after their demanding jobs. It's not like they have an easy job like EMTs do!

Good shit.

You can say you saved a life. Or at the very least that you showed up to the front lines and the enemy was not present.

At least you served. Your country. And didn't just talk bullshit politics like I am doing.

Haha

But yeah I get shit done daily despite LOCKDOWN. So fuck everyone else. Keep trucking. High octane. The road is just missing. Your heart is in the right place though.
