    I remember the CA fires thread a while ago took a similar path. Jeez fellas!

    I can remember people in that thread saying that they would be happy if California fell into the Pacific Ocean. Oddly, no one was banned over that.

    If you have a problem with why you were banned, discuss it with the mods. For most of us, we were glad you were gone.

    I was talking about a different thread, Beatrice.

    If every post I make causes you to cry, you should just put me on ignore like all of the tough guys do. :p

    Yes. That’s right. Political posts, but the mods have a wide latitude of what is considered political.

    I wonder if this virus is going to cause a permanent change in the way we work? In Silicon Valley there are just way to many jobs, so traffic is terrible.

    I understand taking precautions, but there's just way too much freaking out. Swine flu (H1N1) killed about 12k in the US alone and an estimated 150k-500k worldwide. I don't recall the hysteria we are having now. I even traveled to Veracruz for work 2 weeks after the news broke.

    What I haven't heard mentioned yet, is ...are these test kits suppose to detect various strains of the corona virus, or just the more deadly one.

    If they detect all forms of the virus, then the numbers are skewed and irrelevant. If they can only detect the deadly strain, then how is the test accurate if the virus keeps mutating ? Hmmm....

    The thing that stands out is they don’t even staff the moderately sick even if they “arrest” meaning you are about to code and no one is there.

    Wow

    I gotta call b.s. on the supposed under staffing.
    ITALY ON A NORMAL DAY....is understaffed. Welcome to Gov. Run H.C.

    Joey, your hospital has only 7 ICU beds ? That's just crazy. Even hospitals out in the suburbs here have 20 or 30. Some more than that.

    During flu season, hospitals are short on beds to begin with. Throw in an unexpected contagious virus and you have an instant crisis.

    This article from March 10 has some good up to date coverage of the issues they are having and shows why Italy finally decided to lock things down...

    With the shortage of equipment Italy is facing, and doctors , one has to wonder...
    Isn't this what the U.N. is for ?

    Can we relocate doctors from other organizations like Red cross or Doctors without borders, etc.

    And, this is not something new for Italy that 1500 docs leave the country every year. You think the best and brightest want to work for peanuts ?

    Those are the bigger hospitals.
    Like Central Dupage or Delnor at your place.
    NIMC likely does not.

    But the WHO says they have the 2nd best health care.

    I’m not so concerned about if I picked it up, I feel I’m pretty healthy, and would come out of it, my biggest concern is obviously Courtney... She has a doctor appointment today, and I don’t even want her to go. She had her biopsy last week, and they want to go over her tests..
