Probably because people in shit hole countries are really jealous. 

Have you even been to either of those countries, and shared a meal with someone in their home?  Or are you just naturally judgemental?

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Can we get the latest Trump troll banned from this thread. This thread is actually informative and allows news about the political implications, which are impossibly intertwined with the outbreak, to be discussed. A discussion of it without politics is stupid and this thread apparently attracts idiot Trump supporters like flies. It’s not the “lol Hilary” thread so there should be a different standard for spamming shit posts.

Fuck you, I voted for Mickey Mouse. You think Hillary fucking Clinton wouldn't have us in a hot WW3 with China and Russia right now?

Yeah, I’m fairly confident we wouldn’t be in WW3. I’m also fairly confident she wouldn’t have shuttered various government positions overseeing public health out of spite for Obama.

Never been to Russia, don't want to go to a commie country like that. 

El Salvador yeah, epic surf trip through there Nica and Costa Rica.

Didn't share a meal with anyone in their home, but I was also staying in the nice tourist areas on the coast. 

If El Salvador is so nice, why are people risking their lives and the lives of their children to try and escape through all of Latin America on their way to the US?

anyone that still thinks Hillary would have been a worse president then what we ended up with should be euthanized

You're right, it is unreadable with him posting. Ignored now, which isn't something I actually knew how to do until now.

It's so progressive and compassionate of you to feel that way. Maybe this is why you keep losing, because you look at your political adversaries like your worst enemies instead of people you need to learn to get along with.

He has made quite a turnaround in the past week!  I give him and you credit for being willing to quit pretending this is much ado about nothing, admitting error at least implicitly with a change in strategy and generally acting more responsibly with regards to the coronavirus.

But I am going to have wait to actually see Trump translate words and posterboard diagrams into action before I join you for the mushroom surprise at the Orange Man Wet Market.

To be fair you're pretty easy to ignore because you're just dumb. But every time you post a Phlegm picture wall you should be negged to Bolivia.

One of the Surly posters IIRC maybe @GRHorn? I thought has a background in the medical field/hospital environment. I seem to recall him/her talking about planning and prep that places were doing so that if the case #s escalated they would be as prepared as was possible to do so. So this facility should have an outbreak plan and it should be specific to the virus. Perhaps an inquiry into that would be beneficial.

I can tell you with certainty that GRHorn is completely full of shit, as per usual.

I know people in leadership in multiple Central Texas hospitals (multiple different parent companies) and at best they have very vague and nebulous plans that won't help much if they were to get inundated with 10 patients tomorrow. Most of them are having periodic meetings about it, but the information coming out is a lot of "we don't knows" and that they are waiting on direction (from parent companies, CDC, etc.) as to next steps.

Basically the hospitals are attempting to be effective in communication to their staffs, but they are not getting much from above. They're "we care about our staff and want to keep you informed and safe" type meetings without much substance. 

Sorry I’ve been out the last few days for Spring Break. At home hunkering down with kids. 
 

Regarding Brad’s dipshit comment, maybe it’s different in Central Texas. I think in SA we’ve been a little more aware and discussing plans since we’ve received quarantined cruise ship patients and have a couple PUIs here. There have been concrete discussions on how to Increase clinical capacity. I reached out to the CMO here to get more details, but she said too much to type/text. I was gonna follow up with her, but decided she’s got a shit ton on her plate with this stuff.

I didn’t bother to read this but noticed known troll Zavala gave it positive rep so I negged it sight unseen. I encouraged all non trolls to do the same.

Enough people have to get infected to gain the herd immunity that will cause it to go away, enough people who have strengthened their immune systems to keep it down and it will stay down. Probably isn't going to be a vaccine, just like with the common cold, it probably mutates too fast. 

The issue isn't going to be stopping it, it's slowing it down enough to not overwhelm the infrastructure.

Hopefully we decouple from China, because they are threatening to withhold medicines from us, which was the whole point of this article:

Absolutely not. South Korea and China have shown you can slow down rate of infections. We’ll get there.
