    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    BostonFNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You were hoping he'd go down with the ship huh? Why do you think he caved? I'm willing to bet it was that on the current path by Oct 1, 2020 Texas was due to see 120 deaths/day as opposed to 11...

    There could be 10 hidden coronavirus cases for every reported one, CDC director says

    BostonFNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It’s 2,400,000 cases not 24,000,000 that’s a factor of 10 off. The statistic that matters is case fatality rate: of 2.4 million cases only 1.2 million have an outcome, and of that 127,000 have...
