The body of a coronavirus-stricken Georgia health care worker was found in her home with her young child more than 12 hours after she died of the illness, according to a report.

The 42-year-old woman, who wasn’t identified, was likely dead for 12 to 16 hours before she was discovered during a welfare check Thursday at her Coweta County home, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Her child, who is 4 or 5 years old, was in the home at the time, the report said.

 

:( Awful

It is a fact, and it is driven by NYC metro area.  As Cuomo said today, the federal government needs to provide thousands of respirators from its emergency stock (not 400) since it is the epicenter of the crisis.  I'm sure the city will be bustling with work by next week though....

Pence stated today that they had shipped 2000 respirators  to NY and will ship another 2000 tomorrow. What I'd really like to hear is that they've cut off NYC and surrounding areas from the rest of the country.

How have the people living on the streets in tent encampments in the nation’s largest cities doing? Seems to me they’d be a hotbed of cases. Hard to social distance in situations like that. 

Who's going to get close enough to give it to them? :bag:

No argument. 

 

But my point still stands. Being afraid, as Jrober seems to be, is a sure fire way to make a mistake in times like this. Panic and fear are to be avoided, not encouraged. 

Remember what FDR said:

 

"This &^%$ is really ^%$#ing scary and I have no idea how we'll ever survive it."

are gallup polls reliable from qz.com
 
Oct 7, 2015 · While Gallup's name recognition will inevitably spur speculation that public opinion polling is inherently broken, it's important to remember that the venerable firm has never actually been that ...

hahahahaaaaa.... says the idiot who constantly posts polls.

The federal government can either give the ventilators to New York or they can hold them. 

They are sending 4000. I’m glad Trump made a point to mention Cuomo’s decision not to purchase thousands of them in 2015. He was told NY was unprepared in case of a pandemic such as this, and didn’t heed the warning. His whining and blaming the Federal Govt was rich, and he deserved to be called out on this.

Cuomo has been good and has been reluctant to criticize Trump. He's even praised him. The last couple days it seems like he's hedging his bets so he can go after Trump at a later date. People need to remember that preparing for such things as a virus is primarily a state's responsibility. The feds can coordinate and have some extra stockpiles but as a last resort. Any state that's not prepared can first fault themselves.

according to one of the constitutional scholars earlier in the thread, that’s not true because....

 

federalism means that each state has to defend itself from foreign invasions or some approximation of that epically brain dead statement.

You cannot develop herd immunity to this epidemy without sacrificing too many lives.

Too many people will need artificial breathing and there is no enough treatment for everybody.

And I am talking about people in the 30/50 years of age.

 

Now that there are BIG hot beds that went over control the only way is the lockdown italian way, also UK understood this and after he told the worst things about how we managed the infections he is simplying copying our laws.

After the big hot beds will be over, you can copy what Korea made, that is trace EVERY case and lockdown only the positve spots with the use of local mass testing and technology to follow the chains of infection.

 

Italy is experimenting this with success in small centers in the countryside.

We're watching the complete meltdown of the Democratic Party, and if their effort this week to halt help to the American people isn't a reminder of how unbelievably incompetent they are, imagine waking up in three months to find THIS is the guy they chose as their candidate to run for president.

 

He can't complete a full sentence without spitting up on himself.

 

You can see why @Tiberius is such a fan.:lol:

i'm a big fan of math. studied it with some seriousness. were you aware that equations need to have correct input in order to have correct output?

 

this is one of the first things they taught in my computer classes in the early 1980s.  GIGO.  Garbage In = Garbage out.  Still true today.

Sup, fellas. Just checking up on everyone. I hope all of you and yours are healthy and virus-free. I’ve been in self-quarantine for two weeks now. So far so good. Hang tight. Hopefully this will all pass soon.

4000 is not enough and the federal government has more they are not using. People do not need to die because Cuomo ***** up in 2015. It's 2020 and a national emergency.

Yes, you idiot, the feds have more and will disperse them when and where they expect them to be needed. In the meantime companies are gearing up to manufacture more.

It’s a fluid  situation, and if they actually need more they will get more. Need could arise elsewhere. Can’t flip out over Cuomo’s projections which are using numbers that don’t exist. You’re not going to send them all at this point.

~10:40PM Pacific: Mitch just began speaking on the Senate floor and says there is a deal and it will be passed later today.

 

Chuck Schumer on the floor:

  • $130 billion to hospitals
  • Any laid off worker will have their salary remunerated by the fed government, benefits continue
  • Strict oversight (board and IG) of all loans made to corporate America
  • $150 billion to states and localities
  • Small Businesses: Loans, employees to be paid by the federal government

 

He also mentioned that employees, even if laid off, will remain associated to their employers, so they can jump back to work when the time is right.

 

As always, the fine print will be interesting to see.

 

Senate back in session at noon.

Just checking in to see if there's still bizarro world where a small base believes Trump hasn't screwed the pooch with this entire situation that all goes back to his YUUUGE ego... ya know, his whole dismissal of the pandemic preparedness team and total and utter screwup of the initial testing. 

 

 

Yep... bizarro world is evidently alive and well over here. 

 

 

 

Now this moron wants everyone in Church by Easter??? What a jackass...

 

What distance will you guys go to defend this idiot?

 

I hope it's more than 6 feet

giphy.gif

 

 

Even though most of you won't likely admit it, at least you're mostly starting to understand that this guy won't be reelected and you're about to see @Deranged Rhino with a new avatar...

 

though I really don't know if he's going to care since he appears to be a Russian bot as he posts a whole lotta propaganda  :doh:

Oooooh...soooo dramatic.

 

Where has all your rooftop shouting been for the:

600,000+ people who die each year in this country from heart disease?

500,000+ people who die each year in this country from cancer?

175,000+ people who die each year in this country from influenza, pneumonia, and chronic respiratory diseases?

125,000+ people who die each year in this country from strokes?

100,000+ people who die each year in this country from dementia?

125,000+ people who die each year in this country from diabetes?

or all the other people who make up the almost 3,000,000 people who die each year in this country?

 

Oh, I forget. It's not really about people dying, now is it? It's about using tragedy for political gain.

 

Carry on now with your childlike histrionics....

Such stupidity.

 

Listen to your experts.

 

That's not Donald Trump in this case. That's Anthony Fauci.

 

"False Equivalence"

 

Figure it out.

Carry on with your pathetic defense of an inept President who literally believes he's very knowledgeable about absolutely everything and thus has a hard time trusting actual experts in his field.

 

But I'm sure some of his dumb cult followers will wind up listening to him and going out to Easter mass...

As usual, the point of my post went right over your head. How do you even function at such a high level of emotionality.

 

You are like one of those dolls where you pull the string on her back and she cries hysterically, except you pull your own string...over...and over...and over...and over...and over...


Seriously. The constant emotional instability and incoherence you exhibit in your posts is concerning. 

 

You need to go back to your safe space before you have an aneurysm.

 

I'll say a prayer for you at Easter Mass.
