We have over 3 million people in San Diego and only 45 deaths and less than 2,000 positives
Your spin is ridiculously uniformed and your name calling arrogance is surprising.
My mother in law in died on thursday and was in an out of hospitals multiple times per week the last 3 months. they told us the emergency rooms were empty.
I know doctors not making any money who told me that many other medical staff think this was not done correctly.
You can cluster you beds as much as you want. almost no one is in them.
Fauci just told us they are going to open up in a manner more customized to what is going on locally.
The same logic should have applied to the shutdown.
Finally... if this disease was really what they predicted... how could there be any workers left at costco and supermarkets and hospitals.
This disease targets certain demographics....
Perhaps we could have protected those demos differently.
Right now the response runs the risk of being far worse than the virus.
Domestic violence
Depression
Job loss
economic collapse
lack of food
loss of life savings in our homes and other wise
its already begun.
those are real issues which were not properly weighed.
we don't really know if we saved lives in the long run.
Regardless of what you want to write...
The curves were all bullshit...
We will never know if the choice were correct.
its all speculation...
only clowns don't understand the ramps were wrong and hence you have no idea if the shutdown was the correct response.
What are the chances the shutdown was optimal?
I would say zero percent. so don't act like you know what you are talking about.
you have know more knowledge than any other expert.
and the ramps were all bullshit so it was all guess work.
And there is no way you know the damage to lives this shutdown has caused.
The issue is that over 50% of U.S. hospital admissions are for elective surgery. When elective surgeries are stopped due to a pandemic then those hospital rooms are empty. And many of the specialists dedicated to knee surgery, etc. are not needed -- nor do they have skills that transfer to the ICU and emergency centers. Nearly every hospital is now laying off 30% or more of its staff.
On top of this hospitals needs to be re-configured to handle pandemic patients. There needs to be a clustering of treatment beds around the ICU and appropriate equipment moved while attempting to increase spacing. Due to this many floors within a hospital may now be completely empty.
Of course, with no visitors allowed in hospital - the visitor parking lots are completely empty. It is amusing to see clowns trying to claim there is no pandemic because the hospital visitor parking lot is empty.
