This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

I'm not going to stop living my life any less than I have to. Everything you do in life is a risk. You risk death every time you get in a car and drive on the highway, but pretty much everyone does that just about every day. Life is risk management. Take the risks you want to get the enjoyment that you can. I'm trying to limit interaction with others as much as possible, but I'm not gonna stop riding bikes with my friends if they want to keep riding with me.

I really hope facts prove you right, we obviously have very different points of view.

I'm personally been deeply affected by what my country is going through after pretty much everyone living their life as they saw fit until they got hit hard by reality.

We are likely to be worse off than Italy soon, and it's not like I'm out there running around going to parties and hanging out with large groups of people.
 
My wife tells me, as far as she knows, there are 0 peds patients (18 and under) admitted at morristown hospital with the corona, currently

I agree....Italy is around 6000 deaths now..... I mentioned a few weeks ago...we had 61,000 death in this country from the flu a couple of years ago. I would not be surprised if we see numbers like that. I would guess the 99% of the population was like me and had no clue that the Flu killed that many people a couple of years ago.

My wife also wanted to tell me that there is no chaos in morristown and its not a war zone there.
 
Florida is gonna lock up @rick81721 when they find out where he's from.

My boss is currently on a plane from Florida to NJ. He's trying to do 50/50 between the two places. Completely doesn't understand what's happening up here.

Decided to come up since he feels the need to be up here during this time for the company, meanwhile almost everyone is working from home. It's weird.
 
President Trump on Tuesday said he hopes to have the country's economy back up and running by Easter — Sunday, April 12 — his most concrete goal to date for easing off restrictions meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Yeah. Something like that.

What kind of makes me nervous is that he din't mention of what year...

This is coming from a man with a very, very large brain so, I would believe it.

This is so true. We could probably last months at my house without going to the store, but... I wanted some ice cream!! Also, how do you tell your children, that going to get them some ice cream isn't worth the risk, however getting some wine is? I went to shoprite, they have both, win/win. As long as I did not get the virus. At the store, most people were really good about the social distancing, but it only takes one to get you!

It's all fine, well and good, etc. We just want to limit the number of people that are exposed from ice cream runs per day.

@UtahJoe brings up a good point. For all the end-of-world prognosticating his wife at the ER says it's business as usual in terms of capacity & terror. This is good.

not sure if hospitals ever share equipment, I highly doubt it tho....There certainly are plenty of staff that work per diem tho (like my mom) who go work at multiple hospitals.

that hospital in teaneck is a smaller community hospital, I mean im not surprised to hear they are struggling...im more surprised that anyone in need of a ventilator would go there.....When I was laying in an ambulance with my tibia sticking out the side of my leg....I didnt tell the driver to take me to the nearest community hospital...I said RWJ!!!! I knew I was going to need surgery to be put back together and they weren't going to be doing it at englishtowns hospital.
