My hospital has a possible COVID patient

Darth Omar said:
The majority of healthcare workers in my system think this is being overblown.

As mentioned, the hospital infectious control people wanted to enforce a quarantine on the folks who had contact with this individual but they got shot down by the surgical staff. The surgeon involved simply refused to comply and it went downhill from there.

None of this degree of panic and draconian measures went on—under Obama—during the H1-N1 outbreak.

Why?

Because rather than lie about it, he took immediate action.

Over 80 thousand died and 900,000 were hospitalised in the US from the H3N2 virus during 2017-18 flu season, the worst for 4 decades. So why wasn't Obama castigated for his piss poor performance? I think that tells you all you really need to know about the media.

Because it was trump, not Obama who gutted the infectious disease defense infrastructure. Duh.
 
There's a fair old chance your Nazis will be able to celebrate my funeral soon, and that is in a country with proper health care! Hope trumpf is training workers to dig plague pits! :)

As in most places, there is every indication that scarce resources will not be wasted on retired people after the first few days. Local U3A (University of the Third Age - voluntary classes for the retired - have just been cancelled hereabouts, as have most international rugby matches. The Government is moving from the notion it can avoid an epidemic to trying to delay it as long as possible and there is talk 'cocooning' all retired people, in effect imprisoning them in their houses. Might increase my posts rather, I'm afraid! :) In yesterday's budget the Government has promised to spend untold billions on the issue . Be interesting, whatever! Deaths are going up inexorably. Hope we'll be luckier than Italy, but who knows.

I will enjoy your being here. We are also hunkering down after reading Italy’s doctor were choosing who received treatment and who doesn’t. Elders being the one who didn’t receive care as you have also stated. We will also
limit contact with others, close family only. Better safe than dead.
 
In Italy they are letting old people die because they don't have any more beds. This is real, people. Real bad.

Not in the USA, it isn't. At least so far.

You "forgot" to mention that the EU didn't let the Italians close their borders until it was too late, and that Italy has the kind of government healthcare that DEMOCRATS want here.

We have the first case in my locality. (central Oregon)

We probably have tens of thousands of COVID-positive people in the U.S. and don't know it, thanks to the administration's pathetic response with test kits.

Hopefully, you and your family will get it.
