  1. Considering taking an assignment in NYC to help

    DannyBoy8 replied to adorkable8605's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what I've read, resuscitation attempts could be entirely curtailed once it hits the fan. Not sure if that would be a good use of your time and

  2. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    DannyBoy8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm very curious about this. Do you have a reference for 'mandatory recall'? I know there is some deeply buried regulation about the federal government being able to draft nurses, doctors, etc....

  3. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, based upon the controlled population of the cruise ship, we can estimate a .5% CFR. That is not far off from your original estimate, and .3% is hardly much lower than .7%. Without critical care...

  4. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, the 'compare covid to the flu' guy chimes in. This effort was so 4 weeks ago. The executive branch held a briefing today and are expecting 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in this country alone....

  5. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And that's my point, your estimate of .7% mortality is dependent upon care being received. If care cannot be provided due to an overwhelmed system, or if this was 1918 and there was a complete lack...

  7. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    10-20% of the those infected in a given outbreak would die, then again the next year as reinfection occurs, and again the next year, and so on......should covid-19 go unchecked by a

  8. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that we will most likely have an effective vaccine. My point is that without it, the math adds up to a virus that could threaten our

  9. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Most of the academic community initially agreed that covid-19 makes ebola look like child's play - as proven by the widespread pandemic we have compared to the controlled and eliminated spread of...

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My dreams are made of a giant NNU with 4 million members, but that's just me. Could you imagine the voice and

  14. The ANA is killing nurses

    DannyBoy8 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The ANA terminated its collective bargaining activities years ago, though remnants and backdoor ties do remain from existing personal relationships, I'm sure. Not all nursing unions are created...

  15. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    DannyBoy8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nobody can physically force you to do anything. You're not in the military and we aren't enslaved to the state. Could there be subsequent repercussions in some sort of 'martial law to recall nurses'...

  16. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    DannyBoy8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For whatever it's worth, I think quitting to protect your loved ones can be just as brave as staying to protect patients. Best of

    DannyBoy8 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good for you. There is no shortage of need right now, just about every hospital is offering a signing bonus between 10 and 30,000 USD. When we go to war, the military does what it can to recruit...

  22. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    DannyBoy8 replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These circumstances seem like more than your average nursing shortage. Staff nurses should stand up for themselves and demand higher pay, or apply to one of the thousands of jobs that will now pay a...
