  1. Does it annoy you when you see employees with little to no direct patient care wearing much needed PPE

    guest1146168 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anyone else getting fed up seeing used gloves and surgical masks discarded all over the store parking lots by really inconsiderate people who apparently can't bother themselves with the idea that the...

  2. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Possibly, but I at least got to interject a Leonard Cohen song in my windy essay.

  3. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed and that is an enormous concern. I've worked in med software using Agile methodology on my projects since 2012. (pretty much any org who is anyone is Agile now) . An instrumental component...

  4. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not either, but more importantly, I'm not aware of anyone expert in the field who does. I might be more open to the idea of it being engineered as bio warfare and got out of containment if it...

  5. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    excellent point. suggest you just nailed what has many people unnerved: more typically when viruses mutate to become airborne they become less

  6. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know either. Yes, you would think that the demographics (median age) advantage might help. Then again look what happened in Iran and what's going on in

  7. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree they wouldn't but can't find any logical explanation to explain why they would be engaging in biological warfare against the largest global customer responsible for keeping their economy...

  8. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't either, particularly as most of those conspiracy theories originated from fantastical and politics of convenience type sources. Leaving aside the fact that China would have zero incentive...

  9. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's long been a stripe of thought inside and outside the scientific community that viruses are an important part of life development as it exchanges DNA genomes within and sometimes across...

  10. Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The virus is just the latest zoonotic special gift to come out of China's wet markets (similar atrocities exist in other Asian countries and some of Africa). It's a cultural thing where fresh markets...

  11. Am sadly just putting this out there - Overwhelming Covid-19 Death Statistics

    guest1146168 replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get it as we too went through much of this with my husband's mom. I wish I had better suggestions and there were more I could do to help. No easy road.

  12. Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

    guest1146168 replied to xanderx's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed fully. Add to that that nursing homes are regulated predominantly by the States not the federal government and are notoriously more loosely regulated than hospitals which are regulated...

  13. Patients flying from NY for surgeries

    guest1146168 replied to laurengvoss's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This exactly on both points. There was at least one reported incident I saw already of a woman arrested for taking antipyretics before flying to mask her symptoms so it doesn't seem far fetched to...

  14. Am sadly just putting this out there - Overwhelming Covid-19 Death Statistics

    guest1146168 replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh, dear. I'm sure it's very difficult for her to have her social avenues just suddenly cut. Would she even consider letting your guys set her up with a computer and zoom/skype for virtual visits?...

  15. Treatment Guidelines for Covid-19: No Solid Evidence

    guest1146168 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    think you meant remdesivir, perhaps?? While it did have optimistic results at UoC, that was a very limited trial and two patients did pass.. We are miles away from anything clinically conclusive....

  16. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    guest1146168 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    SARS COV 2 (Corvid 19) is actually a mutation from SARS COV 1 (2002-2004) which also originated in a Chinese wetmarket (imo Godless hellscape) I don't know if it's more lethal but it's certainly more...

  17. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    guest1146168 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed. We are only at about the second inning here in a nine inning game. China has released some alarming studies regarding long-term pulmonary damage even on survivors that didn't need ventilators...

  18. Hydroxychloroquine fails in veterans study

    guest1146168 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Study finds no benefit, higher death rate in patients taking hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 A veteran's trial of hydroxychloroquine fails. Not only did recipients not improve but actually had a >...

  19. Hydroxychloroquine fails in veterans study

    guest1146168 replied to guest1146168's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Duly noted, herring_RN. I was busy trying to get my husband's blood pressure down to apply the detailed attention I should have. . Needless to add, he's a

  20. Sick but negative

    guest1146168 replied to Panda Girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm with your Dr. PS - There were headline articles today surrounding substantive false negatives on the rapid tests ( tho, as I understand it at least, it's at least something of an issue with all...

  21. Am sadly just putting this out there - Overwhelming Covid-19 Death Statistics

    guest1146168 replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good Lord, if she's still socializing with groups of friends and church members and knocking on neighbors doors , I might worry more about her infecting YOU. Maybe a little lapdog would help her be...

  22. Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

    guest1146168 replied to xanderx's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Either they are ALL senior citizens at a different point in the natural life cycle , as we're taught in nursing curriculum or they are not. That is independent of whether or not they have family....

  23. World Health Organization

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you know this, but COVID19 actually is SARS 2 (the disease name vs. the virus). I'm not aware of any remarkably different incubation period however the physiology of SARS2 seems more evolved...

  24. World Health Organization

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure it is and I am aware at how polarized the nation is. But when we find ourselves in the mere second inning of a nine inning pandemic virus, of which there is no established treatment for ,nor...

  25. World Health Organization

    guest1146168 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And you're supporting this "argument" with quotes that have nothing to do with COVID, campaign trail dates, random quotes from Dr. Gupta., etc. Got it. In reality, is the responsibility of the...
