New York City EMS received 6,406 medical 911 calls Wednesday, the highest volume ever recorded in the city, surpassing the record set on Sept. 11, 2001.
Ack. Sky Lakes in Klamath Falls is one of the main healthcare providers for my area, for any medical needs more specialized than what our very small local hospitals can provide. I've been there myself, several years ago when I needed a dermatologist to have a suspicious mole removed. I wonder which field this healthcare worker was in.
Not sure what to make of this.. need to look into
Epidemiologist Behind Highly-Cited Coronavirus Model Drastically Downgrades Projection
Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who created the highly-cited Imperial College London coronavirus model, which has been cited by organizations like The New York Times and has been instrumental in governmental policy decision-making, offered a massively downgraded projection of the potential deathtoll on Wednesday.
Based on both those revised estimates and the lockdown measures taken by the British government, the epidemiologist predicts, hospitals will be just fine taking on COVID-19 patients and estimates 20,000 or far fewer people will die from the virus itself or from its agitation of other ailments, as reported by New Scientist Wednesday.
This is wonderful news Kali! It sounds like you have a very thoughtful customer base!On a happy note, our little, 70 seat restaurant in California is receiving so much support!
I sent an email blast out today, asking our community to support all small businesses here.
Mentioning, that it's good for our community as a whole to receive support, through these times, so our small businesses can still be there in the future.
Not only did our customers show up for to go orders, but, some brought bags and bags of fruit.
We have bags, of lemons, oranges and grapefruit all over our kitchen.
Yes, we live in an agricultural town.
Believe it or not, San Diego, California, is much more then our downtown area.
Both Mr. KALI and I, are so grateful.
Sounds like a decent plan to me. I don't think all the nation's public health leaders and scientists, working in conjunction, will be at all ignorant of their locale's situations. I'm certain Dr. Birx, Fauci and many others will be working on this.One would have to be completely ignorant to think any area of the country right now is anything OTHER than high risk. ANYWHERE.
First column is the date, then the next column is total infected reported in China, the last column is total dead. If true, then in the entire world we will likely NEVER see a high death rate from this virus. If these numbers are accurate, then either China has a miracle cure, or the things they've put in place ARE the miracle cure, or the virus plateaus and becomes hugely less deadly. This is the epicenter we're talking about here, heavily populated areas in cities as dense as, if not more than, anywhere in the world. And they only have 3,291 deaths? Being literally weeks, if not months ahead of the rest of the world in terms of the progression of this thing? C'mon.

There is definitely conflicting info re: PPE. Even Andy Cuomo said today the hospitals in NYC are ok for now, but of course the supply absolutely needs replenishing.OMG....
Health care professionals have repeatedly refuted comments from a White House adviser suggesting that the media is overstating the need for personal protective equipment in hospitals amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Very Interesting, thank you , Stattlich. And also agree that their numbers are off, very likely by a long shot.If China's numbers are accurate, I'll eat my keyboard.
The Communist Chinese don't have a stellar record for being honest, in particular, when it comes to things that will make them look bad.
Anyway, if I ASSUME the Chinese numbers are accurate, then, as I've stated before, we in Western Nations BETTER get a hold of whatever it is they have, because they've fundamentally, abruptly, stopped this virus in it's tracks.
Unless what we are seeing is that the virus peaks, then fades away to near nothing, as part of it's natural cycle.
Here's a little glimpse of data I've compiled, data comes from the Johns Hopkins website.

And he also said this on the 24th:Cuomo said this on March 24th...
We are not willing to sacrifice 1-2% of New Yorkers.
That’s not who we are.
We will fight to save every life we can.
I am not giving up.
ANDREW CUOMO
Look at that. A 16 day pandemic and boom, just like that, it was over. Jmo.
Yeah, he was criticized by the executive director of the nurse’s association for that. I guess what he said didn’t match the reality.There is definitely conflicting info re: PPE. Even Andy Cuomo said today the hospitals in NYC are ok for now, but of course the supply absolutely needs replenishing.

I have definitely seen a few reports that have been questioned or debunked, so everyone, be very careful and always double and triple-check things, if you can.
I have discovered a now bulging split inside the front driver's side tire on my wife's BIG white Ford serial killer van. It is causing bad vibrating at any speed over 40 miles per hour.I now have to get up in the morning , go sit around with a bunch of possibly diseased strangers for God only knows how long, and spend a small fortune on a new set of tires( We were gonna try to let these go another 5,000 miles hopefully)......... Woe is me. It has been nice knowing yall...............Take care.....moo
