electro's horse

but look at this bear i saw yesterday on a walk!

nah im on a big diet but thank you being back in asheville ive really noticed how far my fitness has slipped

home? i saw 10 patients today lmao

big congrats to SC for adding the 3000 number to their y axis

ive said this several times but the lockdown has to be federal and there have to be severe penalties for not adhering to it. and you also probably have to shut down fox news

"ive spoken to professionals" like what does he even imagine he's lying about? the professional mask wearing guild?

is there a thread on this forum where someone isn't laughed out of the website for a post this stupid?

you have to understand that the american healthcare system is run like any other business; there's no room to expand, there's no room for excess. excess is something that isn't making you money. it's why you're seeing things like in houston where you're hospitals are expanding into children's hospitals so don't look at it like "once we reach x% then the poo hits the fan." think of it as "the closer we get to x% the less effective we are at treating it." without massive federal intervention (that's not coming) there's only so much upward scaling you can do in such a short amount of time. anything can be an icu bed. I can slap a 25 year old heart monitor on a bed in the hall and call it an icu bed. But do I have the staff to man it? Do i have the equipment? can i do everything i need to do if thigns go pear shaped? And sweden is an irrelevant comparison. think about how much healthier an average swede is at baseline than an american because they have better healthcare throughout their lives. think about how much better functioning their healthcare system is than the american one. if nothing else this should really give far right wingers good reason to reevaluate their views irt healthcare but lmao we know it won't

1. a vast minority of patients with covid require hospitalization. far more will, in the coming days, but for now we're still actually in the early days of this spike 2. doctors are encouraging patients NOT to be admitted, knowing they need the ICU space. South Carolina right now is at about 76% occupancy, and that is about to spike. 3. Infections race ahead of positive cases race ahead of hospitalizations. The data coming out of south carolina right now is....horrific.

remember the vast majority of the patients diagnosed with covid19 don't get a hospital bed right away it's taking around 5-7 days for most people that end up needing a bed getting one for covid19. they're getting sent home and being told to hang tough, then...... basically what im saying is SC is turbo fuged

sc testing is apparently capped at around 10k per day, either by choice or infrastructure that's why the daily testing numbers remain pretty constant but the positive rate keeps climbing

lmao yolo county the writers are fuging with us

if there is something called a vaccine by fall absolutely under no circumstances take it

uh those are clearly inline twitter links post only the numbers, and sort them for me, and bold appropriately

lmao that guy was in commercial real estate because of course he was

that guy is specifically NOT on steroids.

thank you, tourist

my next rotation in neuro is set to start on monday in asheville i find out monday if its going to actually start the most goddamn asheville thing ever either way im getting druuuuuunk

increased testing is catching more people who aren't direly ill young people have been fuging stupid older folks were getting prioritized for obvious reasons also as younger people who are more visible report symptoms and confirmed tests, the most vulnerable (nursing homes) are still being hidden

you won't be able to the factories that make them have all been shut down due to corona non medical personnel will get them in december, maybe lmao

"The president today posted another instagram story of him squatting while talking to the prime minister of england. They hashed out a new trade deal while he finished his the final set of his 5x5 at 80%. Critics have said the President shouldn't wear only his singlets under a Pikachu tshirt. Defenders of the president have said 'he looks fantastic. who gives a poo.' We're joined now by right wing talk show host Ben Shapiro and should say, in the interest of journalistic integrity, he absolutely does not lift."

when im president im going to have an oly platform and assault bike in the oval office just sitting there crushing cleans while on video chat with like the president of france

lock down specifically targets the at risk population so that's not just your obviously immuno compromised, that's > 65, obese, a smoker, or diabetic. who does that population sound like?
