Nah, it’s the flu. Rush out and get it!

Also, I’m very intrigued to see the red county vs. blue county stats when this is all done. 

I see ICU delirium every shift. It happens frequently even in non-intubated un-sedated patients of all ages. If you're in the ICU, chances are it's because you need close monitoring and 24 hour care. That means very little sleep. What sleep you do get will be frequently interrupted by myriad strange noises, none of which mean anything to you but sound frightening nevertheless. Time becomes completely meaningless to you, no matter how often your nurses and doctors reorient you.

 

All of a sudden, the textured ceiling morphs into spiders before your eyes, and you yank out your Foley catheter (balloon still inflated, boys) because it's actually a snake that has slithered its way up your urethra. An IV or two may get pulled out, and that IV may have critical drugs running into your veins for ~important reasons.

 

Then you get tied down. Sedated. The delirium gets worse, but it's what we have to do to be able to treat your primary injury/condition safely. Even then, you fight, maybe take a swing or two at me (I've even been kicked in the back of the neck by a lady who was restrained while DTing) when your restraints are loosened. Welp, they're a lot tighter now! I hope you enjoy having to sit in your shit until I have time to clean you up.

 

Basically, don't do anything stupid to land yourself in the ICU. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but you stand a much better chance of never having to darken my doorstep if you just avoid being dumb.

We've let ourselves go.  We're fat, lazy, stupid and entitled.  We don't make anything.  We outsource everything.  We're a service economy.  We're fat, lazy, stupid and entitled but we rebuff immigrants who are healthy, hard working, smart, and ambitious.

“We are the last major domestic mask company,” he wrote on Jan. 23. “My phones are ringing now, so I don’t ‘need’ government business. I’m just letting you know that I can help you preserve our infrastructure if things ever get really bad. I’m a patriot first, businessman second.”

In the end, the government did not take Bowen up on his offer. Even today, production lines that could be making more than 7 million masks a month sit dormant.

---

On April 7, FEMA awarded Prestige a $9.5 million contract to provide a million N95 masks a month for one year, an order the company could fulfill without activating its dormant manufacturing lines. For the masks, Prestige charged the government 79 cents a piece.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/in-the-early-days-of-the-pandemic-the-us-government-turned-down-an-offer-to-manufacture-millions-of-n95-masks-in-america/2020/05/09/f76a821e-908a-11ea-a9c0-73b93422d691_story.html

I know exactly where this place sits, right off of Rufe Snow and Mid Cities. 79 cents each. What a fucking mess.

 My dad spent a few weeks in the ICU about 10 years ago.  He thought ninjas were attacking him one night.  When I showed up very early in the morning to visit him his room looked like a crime scene.  You could’ve taught CSI recruits about blood splatter by showing them the walls in his room.  Bless you.

I’d say Western Civilization had a good run but much of it was war and human suffering so maybe not all that great.
 

So the narrative is that it's just the flu, not that serious, we need to open up, and it's being used for population control?

Imagine hearing that and thinking it makes sense.

I’m getting the vibe that we’re going to open up everything, then the government is going to be blindsided that a second wave is gonna hit. Then they’ll blame China for allowing the wet markets to be open, causing the virus to mutate, and now everyone is in danger so the election has to be postponed.

I was joking about the troll part. Yes, I am aware of chipping cattle and pets. I'm not saying it is a bad idea. But, if you want to go chipping people that is not going to get a positive reaction from large groups of people.

Shoot, I object to chipping people as a civil liberty issue.  I'd hope lots of people would, not just crackpot fundagelicals.

It's interesting, there's been a lot of thought expended on tracking cattle from pasture, to feedlot, to processor and all points in between because of Creutzfeld-Jakob (mad cow) and other cattle-borne disease in the interest of tracking and eradicating them.  I worked on some patents for a Texas ranch on this about 10-15 years ago.

Well, Dan Patrick (not the sports guy) did say old people were ready to die for their grandkids to have a kickass economy. So it's fairly fitting that this store is trying to speed along the process.

#ObamaGate is trending on twitter now, and being amplified by bots. So, the next wave of propaganda/disinformation after the #plandemic is going out to Facebook, etc.

Saw a tweet here with a take on it. It's a parody account, but presuming elections are held it has long been maintained on this forum that they might use 'invalid elections' as a strategy.

The Risks - Know Them - Avoid Them

Updated: 9 hours ago

It seems many people are breathing some relief, and I’m not sure why. An epidemic curve has a relatively predictable upslope and once the peak is reached, the back slope can also be predicted. We have robust data from the outbreaks in China and Italy, that shows the backside of the mortality curve declines slowly, with deaths persisting for months. Assuming we have just crested in deaths at 70k, it is possible that we lose another 70,000 people over the next 6 weeks as we come off that peak. That's what's going to happen with a lockdown.

 

As states reopen, and we give the virus more fuel, all bets are off. I understand the reasons for reopening the economy, but I've said before, if you don't solve the biology, the economy won't recover.

Nothing can force an act of contrition from Donald Trump. He's incapable. He has two modes: If it's good, take credit for it; if it's bad, blame someone else. That's it. He'll never admit he was wrong about anything. The only way you'll ever see him admit a mistake is in a passive aggressive way of placing blame on someone else by saying he was wrong to hire them because THEY are the one(s) who fucked things up.
