and 2020 is the year that we're OK with signing the death warrant on all those people ?


It's hard enough to save them without the virus. We are now compounding the problem, now multiply that by 10-20 per hospital, when hospitals have been understaffed since the beginning of the pandemic.

A COPDe / CHF patient normally is a one-nurse job. One doctor.
A COPDe / CHF patient with COVID is 2-3 nurses, two different medical teams (IM + ID/ FM + ID), also typically taking a bed from a patient that needs it in MICU/SDU, rather than going to a typical MEDSURG floor.


Its mind boggling for you to expect the HCP's to save the world when people dont even want to save themselves.

Unfortunately we are already at that point with our hospital. Although we are not a major testing center (We only see active duty / family members / retirees), we are still, on average, submitting approximately 300 tests per day. On average, I'd say 3% of them actually come back "positive".

The reason I put "positive" in quotes: I have (more than likely) at some point contracted the virus while working in a hospital (especially being in the ER/ED). If I was to test, asymptomatically, I'd still pop-hot for the anitbodies. That is the problem we have, people are testing positive with antibodies but are completely normal. They run to Wal-Mart and then come in for testing because "someone coughed on me".


i was lucky enough to have the top surgeon covering over 3.2 million people handle my case and he was actually the guy who sliced and diced and cut me open
the extra holes he made are but mere dots on the abdomen. no indentations. what an artist. and his team? can't describe in words, tbh
one could say that i got lucky, landing where i did, but it was six days of research that resulted in the best surgical team in 2000 miles. and they did work they did good work. we were dead and out and they brought it all back. one time , baby. one time.

Penn is the only real legal dispute, the rest are recount efforts i think. Penn is the only one with procedural disagreements, and pending the final tally/recounts afaik may not matter.

tell that to your cult leader, who is banking on his activist judges to overturn a lost election by ignoring hundreds of thousands of valid votes.

you know what'd be funny? if trump lost crucial states by the margin that his mishandling of covid-19 killed people in them.

I wouldnt automatically lump "fat" and COVID with each other.

The issue / trends I've noticed with obesity + COVID-19 is the diseases that follow years of obesity (or just shitty genetics). Your uncontrolled DMII that constantly puts you in and out of DKA / HHNK (HHS) is going to kill you with COVID, especially if you've killed your kidneys.

Your 50 pack-a-year habit you've had for 45 years will probably kill you with COVID-related COPDe.


There are no studies that further risk stratify your degree of decompensation or hospital mortality/morbidity based on level of comorbidity

Of course if you have uncontrolled disease you will be worse off.

The basic fact is that downplaying coronavirus as a disease that strictly affects only those with comorbid disease is ignoring the fact that American society is one of the unhealthiest on the planet, and ~40% of Americans have comorbid disease whether they know it or not.

Amount of money trumps donors got fleeced out of to use on terrible litigation challenging laws and statutes that have existed for decades.

As well as paying for recounts that are not within 0.25%

Over under?

I'm saying 25M
