I so agree."Human error" keeps confounding all the progress.
Well, that and ignorance and stupidity
Yes.Does anyone else on the thread have a compromised immune system? Now that we have a couple of cases in Oregon I told my husband I wasn't leaving the house.![]()
Respectfully, regarding the polls related to this global virus, it seems that all the questions relate to the USA.
I am in Oregon and my family is self isolating for a few weeks. Asthma runs in our familyDoes anyone else on the thread have a compromised immune system? Now that we have a couple of cases in Oregon I told my husband I wasn't leaving the house.![]()
THIS!History can judge whether calling it a pandemic or not etc. is right or wrong, says fiery @DrMikeRyan. "We cannot miss this opportunity to save lives", he says. “Let's just get on with it.”

MOO, but I think the response in the USA has been delayed and info suppressed. I can remember with other health care worries, the CDC had regular updates and lots of info. I'm afraid that we have reacted too much like China. This is my opinion and as @Inthedetails has stated "Before you pounce, please wash your hands" and for goodness sake, don't breathe on me.
That's one reason I don't believe in conspiracy theories - people always bungle and mess things up. LOL and also serious at the same time."Human error" keeps confounding all the progress.
Well, that and ignorance and stupidity
WOW!!!!! Thank you for this interruption.Off Topic - The Step- Mother has been arrested for murder in the Colorado 11 year old missing Gannon Stauch case.....This is gonna possibly "blow WS" up for a while.....moo
Yes.I am in the at risk category.
I'm so sick of hospital admin's being worried that they will lose business if people think there's a patient with a communicable disease there. I had to deal with that during the AIDS era. If the patient tested positive, then there's no doubt unless they are awaiting CDC confirmation. This is what I've experienced and MOO.The below article illustrates the many positive cases sitting in limbo waiting for CDC to confirm:
This past Sunday morning a patient at Doctor's
Hospital in Sarasota, Fl. overheard a medical
person and a volunteer discussing a positive
virus patient in their hospital. the patient listened quietly but then quickly called her family and warned them not to come visit.
Apparently word leaked out to other patients
during the day and finally later sunday Hospital Administrators brought around a letter to each patient admitting that there was
in fact a positive patient in isolation in the hospital but they couldn't publicize it until CDC
releases the information. This is a new case not mentioned by Fl. Gov. on Sunday.
Seems there's quite a backlog of positive cases
being held up by CDC.
Letter was also released on FB.
Officials: Patient ‘presumptively tested positive’ for COVID-19 at Sarasota hospital
