Not everywhere. Most places they still need to take the patient to ER for dr to call it or call it in to a doctor. Unless it’s very obvious. But that’s changing with covid-19. I don’t think it’s a good thing. I want a doctor to pronounce me dead. Unless it’s very obvious I’m dead. Like rigor mortis or decapitation lol

For some reason, I thought that's how it always was, dead on arrival ---> Morgue?

If you are asymptomatic and you've been walking around like everyone else and you get tested and you find out you have the Rona. What is the point of quarantining? How long does one remain asymptomatic? Will they quarantine until they show no signs of the virus through additional testing? How long does it take the virus to run through you?
Just trying to understand this whole asymptomatic phenomenon.

The purpose of quarantine is to keep it from spreading further, especially to those most vulnerable. The duration is per an individual's personal health.

I don't mind being quarantined, so many folks have such nasty habits long before 'Rona' trespassed into our lives. I have my own planet away from all of them. :cool:;):look::rolleyes:

The at-risk population most definitely should take higher precautions. Anyone with a weak immune system including the elderly should isolate themselves. I want to understand why Cuomo mandated that elderly people with C19 in nursing homes stay and therefore put the most vulnerable population at risk of severe illness and death. That was obviously a death sentence.

It’s my understanding that there just weren’t enough rooms in the hospitals. That’s what quarantine has always been about. There is a finite amount of space for the sick. That’s why only the sickest of the sick were being admitted and why there were so many “presumptive” cases and a jump in at home deaths at that time.

If it didn’t look like you needed life saving measures immediately you were to go home and isolate in a room to save space for the sickest.

Nursing homes deaths made up a large percentage of deaths. People could have been sent elsewhere. The elderly was most at risk. In an unusual crisis you utilize everything to save a life including other cities and states--not give up and call it quarantine.

It made more sense to give the elderly who tested positive hydroxychloroquine rather than wait for them to develop symptoms and eventually die.

Sounds like Genocide... :nono:

Sent where? They needed medical care and nursing homes give care.

And despite what the Idiot in Cheif said that drug is not and something you want to be taking if you don’t have to. I’ve taken it for autoimmune issues and I would not recommend it to anyone. You feel awful, have constant nausea, dizziness, and it can cause muscle cramps and blindness.

I mean they had tents and a medical ship trying to keep up with the sick. Where were they supposed to send them? Out of state?

More in Florida news :rolleyes: :nono:

This is the scientist/whistleblower who got fired after refusing to alter the numbers in the COVID dashboard she created



This is so incredibly surreal. They really don't care that people are dying of this. I honestly cannot believe that lives mean so little to so many in power. :cry3:

On top of everything else I have going on in real life (and spoiler alert, my life right now is a complete mess) I am truly shocked. I'm ready to throw 2020 away entirely. Can someone wake me on Jan 1, 2021?

We worked for the same agency....she was at HQ and I'm with the local divisions. I got word of this too. She is legit y'all. Its getting ugly in FL. We still don't know if we want to send our 1st grader to school at this point. The city where me and Rebekah live just mandated masks starting midnight tonight. Floridians are antsy. They usually do better than this but people are literally blowing common sense to the wind. Plus her numbers are accurate. The stuff Florida puts out right now is bogus. Period

I think I should create a poll on this question?
I want to know how would you feel if right now at this very moment you tested positive for C19?
I would be scared! It’s literally just me and my children. Plus two of my children have respiratory issues. Who would take care of my babies?!? Who would take care of me? That’s why it makes me so angry and frustrated with people that are being reckless. I know what it’s like for my kids to catch something and end up in the ER because of it and how much time I had to take off from work to the point it was one of the main reasons I left my job to be a SAHM. I literally used up all of my time! Now I’m desperately trying to hurry up and finish my education and certifications, so I can have a job that will allow me to be at home. My oldest children are teens now, so that’s a plus.

Exactly.

Now I understand why the doc I worked with got irritated when the non compliant oncology patients came in without appointments demanding to be seen- even for our clinical trials. She said - “This ain’t a McDonald’s drive through.”

The American healthcare system has been stressed for years with warning signs of cracks and fissures and now we’re seeing a real breach. Doctors with god complexes are getting to play god for real when these ERs are backed up to the curb and have to live with the decisions they make over who even gets the chance to live or die. Word on the street is it ain’t cute.

Well I came back to Houston just in time for us to be the new epicenter.


My niece and her mom were in Florida a week and a half ago and she said nobody had on masks, that people didnt care in Florida. People were going about their regular lives. Also her mom spiked a fever a few days ago and pink eye. I am hearing pink eye may be a sign in some cases.

I would be relieved. Not that I’m trying to catch it but all the stress of not trying to catch it would be over. That’s if I had antibodies. If it appears I still had it I would get me a sats monitor with an alarm and set it at 95% and pray.
