Just watch it, be warned it’s some seriously grim poo. Out of the the ventilator patients 70-86% mortality rate.

I don't like it when people talk about the US in terms of our "hospital system" as if we are a smaller country and its all related and co-mingled.  However, even though the hospital overburden will be felt mainly in pockets...its still a scary reality in those areas.  And even when its not a complete overburden of cases, it still strains the system and hurts results.  I think I heard one doctor say something to the effect of "if I can realistically give quality care to up to 20 patients a day, what do you think happens when I'm suddenly seeing 30, 40, 50 patients a day?  Everybody's quality of care they receive depreciates, even the initial 20 I was able to take good care of."

I really liked his point about this being a +1 virus, meaning most other things will remain the same.  Hell, I just had a car accident last week.  It wasn't a bad one in terms of bodily injury, but people don't stop needing medical care just because Rona is in town.

Regardless how you feel about CNN, Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with Covid-19. This disease is unbelievable, we have not faced a problem like this since, the early 1900’s. I think we will be fighting this for the next 4 months, then battle it again in the fall.

The 100-125 year problems are coming around again. Pretty soon there will be a dust bowl in the south again. 100 year floods are due too.

Maybe, in varying degrees.  

By the fall, I am hopeful that we will be better prepared to stem the outbreak with better testing, tracing and treatments. Fauci said as much on Sunday.

Virginia governor just issued a stay at home order in effect until June 12. 
 

Also found out that our federal government sent China 18 tons of medical supplies in February when they should have been preparing for an outbreak... really pisses me the F off.

That is a morale killer for sure. June 12th.

..... would you rather a morale killer or being dead?

That’s a false dichotomy.
 

I believe that by June 12th there will be different rules for how we deal with this threat. It’s reasonable to ask everyone to stay home for a month or 6 weeks.  After we get more data and have ramped up the ability to treat the virus I don’t expect it will be reasonable to have everyone under orders to stay home in June.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
