If so, I would say they nailed it! They certainly spend more time at the gym than I do.

There will an epidemic of PTSD among HCW after this is all over. We donât want to deal with this coming here, but it will. NYC will get the first taste, maybe this week. But most of us will see it over time.
ETA watching Cuomoâs presser. Brings up a good point. Establishing the additional hospital beds is, sadly, the easy parts. Staffing and equipping them is orders of magnitude more difficult. Not like you can just draw from other areas, because everyone else is doing the same thing.

My sisters are both doctors and one just had a nurse test positive. I think we likely reached the point where most of us know someone who has been infected but we donât know who yet.

Yes. Though I wasnât a fan - heâs doing as good a job as one can right now.
Certainly the resident of the White House could learn something.

The interview recently with Fauci was interesting. Has him saying, regarding the Presidentâs lies, âWhat do you want me to do?â
Some good news about the virus, finally:

This afternoon I remembered that I forgot to cancel a dental appointment scheduled for tomorrow. (Nothing big, just to have a new crown put in.) So I got on the phone and suggested that, given the present situation, a postponement would be a good idea, expecting unanimous agreement.
Instead, the receptionist asked âwhy?â. Why indeedâŚ
I think Iâm starting to see why some MDs donât count dentists as real doctors.
My GPs, on the other hand, offer consultations via phone or video chat and have this message on their homepage:

Oh, he uses setup questions from ânews organizationâ One America News to attack other people.
James Fallows, a journalist who once worked in the White House as President Jimmy Carterâs chief speechwriter, agreed with Norris. âYes. And cable outlets should stop covering them live,â he wrote. âTheyâre actively lowering level of public knowledge by doing so â and repeating the mistake they made [with] wall-to-wall coverage of rallies in 2015 and 2016.â Without live coverage, Fallows added, âTrump will stop showing up; scientists can speak.â

Massachusetts has issued a âStay at Home Advisoryâ and ordered nonessential businesses to close.
You could be forgiven for wondering if anything has changed, based on the list of essential businesses.

I did some covid-19 research on Indiana. (We decided to shelter in place in Chicago rather than rural Indiana.)
Indiana has 56 cases reported to the CDC at this point. At least 11 deaths (but that number is from 12 days ago). If you go to the stateâs public health page, they give NO information. So, how many people are infected in Indiana? We donât know, because theyâre not checking. So either they have a 20% death rate there, or thereâs a lot of sick people who arenât being counted.
And outside the main cities with teaching hospitals, medical care isnât great for everyday stuff, let alone a pandemic like this.
Red states have no idea whatâs about to hit them.

Maryland just did the same.
For some reason itâs business as usual in Va.

A former Brazilian astrologer claims that the number of deaths from Coronavirus is the same number as the anual cases of influenza, so none of these deaths were caused by the infamous virus. Therefore it is a hoax, as they didnât perform autopsies in the corpses to determine if the the virus caused the deaths.
