Must have been 1000 people there. For who?

I saw Johnny Marr last summer, and there were fewer people there. Proving once and again that the heartland is pure whitebread.
 
Also, one note on Cuomo (and other governor's) move to "sent COVID patients back to die at nursing homes! He killed people!".

There was an issue early on where post-acute care facilities - SNFs, rehab hospitals, hospice homes, etc. - were refusing any new patients. Hospitals were at the breaking point and needed the beds, and there was a large amount of patients who no longer needed acute care but couldn't be discharged to their homes. In normal times, these patients are discharged to those same post-acute care facilities. First, acute care isn't needed anymore. Second, Medicare and every single private payor in the country would stop paying for acute care when it isn't needed (there's an insane labyrinth of "utilization review" that determines whether a payor will actually cover a hospital stay). With those other facilities refusing to take patients, what were we to do?

I do not care for Cuomo. I think he's done a passable job with COVID, but he was in a no-win situation here. Existing laws require all care facilities to take necessary precautions for infectious patients. Some never have them - short-term rehab hospitals, for example, might not have the infrastructure for a true isolation setup - but most are required to maintain iso protocols. Cuomo was mainly reminding them of this, and preventing them from refusing patients they'd otherwise take if they had other infectious diseases.

It is pathetic and sad that many of these facilities either did absolutely nothing or, in some horrific cases, mixed COVID patients with non-COVID patients (see the VA hospital in Holyoke, MA. Seriously, people should be put in prison for that), but what was Cuomo to do?

Again, this is a red herring ginned up by dishonest people, counting on the masses not knowing the ins and outs of out healthcare system.


But... but... PCR! Sensitivity! Something about sero-something!

So hospitalizations are down, ICU is down and deaths are down and the only thing being harped in the media is "cases." Wouldn't context mean discussing what "cases" means and the application which they are being derived from?

And if different Countries are using different Cycle Thresholds wouldn't that lead to different types of data about "Cases."

We jumped out of the plane and slowed down to a safe rate of decent! Guess I don't need this parachute anymore...

Good response. You are proving, post after post that you feel the need to respond but can't answer with any sort of reasonable thought. I wonder what you are afraid of?

Any how, look at that 5:30 pm, lock in for the national news and get your "Cases" update. With so much context of course.
 
For those who are curious-

the symptoms are hitting me in waves. Throat tickle Friday along with low grade fever and chills. Fever only lasted about six hours.
cough occurred all weekend. Digestive issues hit me suddenly Sunday night.
today, I lost taste and smell.

I hope I don’t keep developing.

How about we try another topic since the PCR Testing is way over even your head.

ICU Census plummeting but Fatalities? Legacy Death Laundering anyone?

My SIL has a family that is being a set of total idiots they coe from multiple States, and some of them come from hot spots. My bro has multiple risk factors. His wife is insistent that she needs to see her family for her mental health. Then he makes a comment that if he gets it and dies it will be on his MIL. I couldn't help myself. Told him No, it isn't his MIL but his wife who is going into situations that she knows are risky and she is willing to have him die because she is selfish. They are already planning T day and Xmas. And they are pressuring him hard to go. She isn't even discussing. She will go. She works in a hospital. I can't even. Told him if he gets sick I am not going to be able to keep my mouth shut. She absolutely knows better. Follows all the quarantine rules that are posted but her family is excluded, even tho they come from red counties and different states.

My new question- is it worth dying for. Apparently his wife is worth dying for even if she is willing to do stuff that will kill him.

That's the crazy thing. Him and his wife are traveling all over the states (via car) with their 3-yo and 6-mo. And they're interacting with my aging parents with no precautions. I'm just scared of what's going to happen if they give my parents this and one or both die. I don't know what that's going to do to my relationship with him.
 
The "coming in waves" tendencies for the symptoms seems to be the constant when I hear about people having it. Like you can flip from feeling mostly normal to on deaths door and back for days or weeks on end. That alone has to take its toll on your body. At least when you have flu or pneumonia the symptoms tend to stick around so your body is in constant fight mode. (at least for me anyways)

Hopefully you get your senses back quick that seems to be the one that can last a while.

You say your Brother is allegedly a smart guy. Curious, what does he do for a living?
 
So is the lack of taste and smell just a complete absence? Or is it kind of like color blindness where things are just... different (lacking a better term)
