There are stories of this happening all over. In my local paper there was a story about an engineering student who built a working ventilator out of parts from home depot and then donated it to the hospital for use if all else fails. Apparently a lot of them are posting the designs online.
That would be a lock if Acton was the governor. As things stand, in their minds it would probably make DeWine appear cool.
Keep in mind that is 15% in one small hard-hit area. You canāt extrapolate from that.
I suppose, the confidence intervals are really wide but itās something at least.
Great follow. He has started a podcast and been a guest on others.
Basically our discussion this week about the model. So wowza bad assumptions.

It seems there could be a bigger problem than health in Germany vs. US:
Hope they adjusted the estimated mortality rate based on this. If not, it seems irresponsible to claim 0.37% when there are likely more who will die. (1537 is the number in that area that were hospitalized from CV-19.)
Virus reactivation is a potential twist I find pretty concerning.
I am on team all our tests must suck, for the time being.

Western Europe has about 10000 deaths above expectation per week based on previous years (70000 compared to 60000). Not enough data yet to be reliable.
Iām real curious about Russia deaths vs. expectation.
It would be more humane to give an OD of morphine than to put a covid patient on a homemade ventilator. They would work for fairly healthy lungs, say for surgery or someone intubated for airway protection, but fuck no not for covid.

Shocker
Damn. People doing the burying are supposedly prison inmates. Not that this isnāt a new level, but also supposedly this is a mass grave site since 1980.
This one really got to me. Not sure if we should post this heartstring-tugging stuff here.

Not much of an ethical dilemma as long as you give them out somewhere. Locally better.
imo, wait til you get em and then go share them with your local nursing homes/hospitals. Donāt promise anything to anyone until you have them in hand (so to speak).
Trump was explicitly warned about the possible Covid-19 pandemic - by his own officials - in Jan/Feb of this year; and also about pandemics in general since before he was fucking inaugurated years ago. Obamas admin held meetings about it just for his admin to take on board what had been learned and prepared for. Trump admin trashed that, as we all know now. And here we are.
But Keeedās like: Iām obviously not defending Trump, but China, something blah, blah, blah.

Alright so I got a big fucking problem.
My sister, not the nurse but the one married to a Trump supporter, well that guy has 3 young adults from a previous marriage and unsurprisingly they arenāt taking it serious, they work at amazon, donāt wear masks etc. So my sister is freaking out that itās a high risk house. Sheās 37 and is a bit of a hypochondriac and thinks she has health issues that have never actually been diagnosed.
Anyways, she wants to come stay with us. My mom told her thatās fine. Iām furious at my sister. My mom is obviously not going to say no, itās her daughter.
I know my sister is scared but I have every right to tell her she canāt fucking come here right?
