Linking this over here too cause why not. It’s from the small business part of the CARE ACT, put together by Save Restaurants coalition. CARE ACT UPDATE

*Facepalm*

They are so starved for attention, I assume they are getting zero contact these days.

Have you looked at how fast it spread in NYC?

IOC was actually pushing to cancel it all together. Japan was pushing to keep it this year since the IOC was just going to cancel the whole thing. Athletes pushed for next year and got the support of both. Best possible solution.

Olympics officially postponed a year.

I mean Japan just went over 1,000 cases minus the diamond princess. Are the numbers accurate or massaged. I don’t know but everything I hear they are accurate. And they have been the closest to this besides SK.

I’m really not sure what that graph is trying to explain. Why is Italy way ahead in terms of days?

I really need to catch up with my close ICU nurse friend and see what she’s saying.

One of them does. The Ciclesodine or w/e. But that’s for severe cases that have already progressed into pneumonia. The asthma inhaler.

Both drugs that have shown success in Japan and elsewhere are not FDA approved. Thanks FDA.

*facepalm*

Actually you mix it with HIV drugs and that’s what China used. It’s already proven. But since we are 3 months behind the curve and the whole FDA process... ya...

We knew. China had known for a month at that point. There is no way we didn’t know.

They had 3 months to up those stockpiles man. That’s the point.

You are entirely missing the point, dude. I literally said we had months after we knew about a possible pandemic to stockpile those supplies and we didn’t because there wasn’t a CDC control on what was going on. How is this not getting through to you?

I’m not making it political as you would note from the first post I made on the subject. I wasn’t just implying America in fact but the world outside of SK&Japan. But what you quoted just now is a fact. If we(as a world) had been preparing since December/January we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. In America, It was the current administration who cut the the CDC budget & staff. Then when faced by this did absolutely nothing to prepare here before it was to late.

Obama had mechanisms in place. Trump removed those mechanisms. We had months since we found out about a pandemic sweeping China we did nothing. There isn’t anything else to it.

RumGone clearly stated he’s following cases of completely healthy people in this bracket. So what’s your point again? I don’t understand what you feel like your trying to accomplish. We know perfectly healthy people can end up intubated or on HL machines from this.

Not great by our standards Obviously, but they did have 7,000 people working on it. I’m assuming the shifts were 7-12’s(16 for some maybe) since I’m sure they work camped them. But I bet they got paid out the ass.

Are you trying to make a actual point? Or?

We had months to prepare medical equipment, staff, stockpiles of goods and everyone to the reality of this. Nobody did it. And hell let’s say it didn’t happen, the market might have plinked down a thousand or so but we would have had a serious goods supply if it raged back in the fall. I mean FFS China built a 1,500 person hospital in 10 days.

Ya agreed, in fact it says. “The report did not say whether the patients had underlying risk factors such as a chronic illness or compromised immune systems, so it's unclear whether the younger adults hospitalized were more vulnerable to serious infection than others.” was just trying to back up the point you were making that young people aren’t invincible to this.
