Covid-19

I hope we are all able to learn from our mistakes (which I have in abundance) and the mistakes of others (which are most glaring in hind-sight) and try to limit discussion and criticisms to information that helps us move forward.

"Woulda-shoulds-coulda" might help in the next pandemic (but probably not since it will probably unlike any we have seen before - such as this one in many ways) but not-so-much at this time when unity is most critical. Let's stick to good wishes, prayers and an attitude of - where do we go from here.

ALL-FOR-ONE!

please

Why should this be different than EVERYTHING else? Sadly our generation raised them and enabled this pathetic behavior.

It seems the only two groups NOT taking this seriously are stupid kids (I do feel old) and partisan Trump supporters who cling to his initial comments. Their arrogance will cause people to die unnecessarily.

What? How do you derive a theory like this? Seriously. Just stop it.

I am absolutely buried and swamped trying to manage this crisis at my clinics, so this will likely be my last post for a while. I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the continued political banter not only on this website but across the board. Seriously, wake up people. It is sad to see that much of our country truly has lost the strength and unity that we had that enabled us to survive and Conquer World War I, World War II and other disasters of our past.

I think it is the unparalleled blind hatred of Donald Trump by the left that is driving some of the lack of co-operation. No president, even Nixon, has had to put up with the amount of crap that the big 3, ABC, CBS, and NBC have blamed Trump for. Was he a bit slow to respond? maybe. He has since tried to get everyone on board and pulling in the same direction. If Gov. Cuomo and he can get along, the rest of us can all pull together, and stop this in it's tracks as quick as possible.

Spot on. Stop the hate and get behind OUR president and his team.

Italy had more confirmed cases today than on any singular day. They also now have more fatalities than China. That’s despite the measures that have been taken.

There is a very real chance that all of us, no matter who we voted for, will know someone that dies from this. I hope I’m wrong about that. Unfortunately I was wrong when I initially said this was not a big deal. So, yeah, it would be nice to put the political bullshit aside. It’s a respiratory virus, and trying to keep it from spreading is a little like trying to keep the dust out of your house with a screen door. It helps to a point, but only to a point. This is a crisis literally everywhere in the world regardless of what the politics are.

I am all for getting behind him and coming together as one to fight this thing. But at the same time I think every move should be analyzed, criticized, and questioned by the media and experts. We need as much input as we possibly can from as many sides as possible. I am nervous by the number of yes-men that seem to be around him, I need to know there is someone in that room that is willing to speak truth to power.

In other words, we need more Dr. Faucis.

I saw just today 2 additional doctors speak about the CV with the Presidents Team in attendance. The Surgeon General and another Dr. I don't sense anyone is hiding anything. The message has been pretty consistent and clear the last two weeks or so.

I read that 50% of our cases are in 10 counties right now. I'm sorry for the people in those counties, of course, but I'm still hopeful that being in the great wide open middle of the country turns out to be an effective way of avoiding the virus.

Because I know a bunch. Does this actually seem far fetched to you? That someone recalcitrant in their opinions is recalcitrant to changing their belief based on facts and data?

That's a classic response. Well done. Recalcitrant. Hilarious. You even had to edit it. LMAO
