We need to be the vote counters, observers, election supervisors, state SOSs, in our communities. I am just as frustrated but If you are sitting in your easy chair, complaining on your laptop, doing nothing on the ground...need I say more?
I feel you. I'm deployed to Poland. Couldn't do anything before I left necause of COVID quarantine. Quarantined for 2 and a half months here. Tried to get an absentee ballot on the State site failed. Tried again on the Fed site.and never.got.the.email ballot. Feels bad fren.
Misleading numbers. COVID was wide spread in CA before anyone knew about it. One postmortum confirmed case on Jan 6th. Likely started in December. Many deaths misdiagnosed as pneumonia or "Flu Like Illness". They inflate the cases without recognizing that prior to testing many COVID deaths were not reported. The CFR is probably 3 to 4 times that of the flu in this country. It was 10% in Italy and 8% in Spain. They are right in saying we have gone off the deep end with draconian stay at home orders. However, my practice is largely Geriatrics and they should stay home. These "entrepreneur's" may very well be able to safely open up if they do not treat high risk people. Ultimately their patients will decide if it is safe for them to come in.
Yes this pandemic has been going in longer than we think. And yes there are many asymptomatic cases. However, if you are going to add all these cases you must also assume many deaths due to COVID19 that were not recorded prior to testing or even knowing that the disease was present.
The shortage is in ICU beds and ICU nurses and doctors. Layoffs are Ortho, PostOp Care, Peds, b/c routine cases have been paused and children staying home. Most nurses and doctors can't do anything to help in the ICUs. Not everybody has those skills.
The COVID19 antibody test is not yet widely available. This is fake news. She may be referring to the respiratory panel that tests for multiple pathogens including several Coronoviruses but is not specific for COVID19. I do believe this pandemic did start as far back as November in CA however, this is not evidence.
35 years in the Army, 3 tours to Iraq. Don't want to go back, retiring anyway but I have 3 sons also in the Army and they deserve better than this.
