Are these things that keep coming out all just pie in the sky?

There’s been a steady rise in pierce, Snohomish, and king counties, but now the rural counties are seeing significant increases in covid cases. Those county hospitals are fucked btw. They are not prepared. They don’t deal with critically ill patients often and most of them have very few ventilators.
My hospital uses on average a half a million masks a year. In the first two weeks of the outbreak we used 250k. Hospital supply companies are leaned out to only produce expected demand with very little capability to increase production quickly.

Fucking on-demand supply chain.
I assume? everyone’s probably been scrambling to find more masks for months and they just are hard to come by. Like TP for civilians.
Come again? Like, someone explain to me the suspense element of minutes six through twelve.

Positive results as early as 5 minutes. Negative if it’s not positive by 13 min.

Fair enough, I suppose.

That would suck to get slow rolled by a 12 min 59 second positive test

News of the virus spreading through The Villages is really, really testing me. I called it, it’s hitting idiot Trumpkins, it’s partially the idiot governors fault, lol Florida, literally killing themselves to own the libs, etc. So far I can honestly say I feel only sadness. Hope that continues.

In case anyone is wondering what happens if we keep up with the current pace of log deaths (obv social distancing should have an effect but 10k by 4/5 seems doable)
edit: Wow, pulled data less than 2 hrs ago and worldometer showing 1693 already for today. that does not seem good.
Shame we don’t have a serum antibody test yet. seems increasing the potential known supply of a promising treatment would be helpful

I’ve undone the suspension & he’s free to post… If someone wants to make a thread specific for Landlord stuff I’m sure peeps will post in it during these times.
@Inso0 sorry about that, I overreacted on a stressful day for me.

One, you spelled his name wrong, it’s @Inso0 Two, never apologize for temp-banning @inso0. Even if you shouldn’t have banned it, there is never any harm done by temp-banning @inso0. Even @inso0 will admit that there is never any harm in banning @inso0. @inso0.

I will give up my one time for antibody plasma to come through. But if it comes through I pray the asymptomatic rate is much higher than we know creating a large pool of donors.
This seems like nearly best case scenario if the plasma treatment can work.
Does it talk about health and comorbidity of the patients?

I took two days, which are actually years in the Coronaverse, off can someone give me cliffs on what’s going on? How brutal was the Trump presser?
I didn’t watch it but it was pretty terrible.

Didn’t we just hit 1k yesterday? So we’ve gone from 1k to 1700 in one day?
I wonder how reactive a COVID-19 antibody test will be to antibodies from other common coronavirus strains? Could be a problem.
