So the guy who makes My Pillow is converting his factories over to make masks for medical professionals? It’s cool what all of these companies are doing to retrofit their factories to make things such as hand sanitizer, masks, gloves and respirators. It reminds me of all the stories in WW2 of all of the factories doing their part to help win the war.

Exactly what needs to be happening. Wish they could have jumped on it a little sooner.

We have a source through the state of IL, some sort of military contractor, to now get some KN95 masks because our members are having a hard time getting PPE.

We opened it up for presale around 5:00 and they've ordered about $50K worth of masks already tonight. And we don't even have 500 members. We priced them so we won't lose money on shipping them out but that's about it.

Give it a couple months and you won't be able to give away an N95 mask.

If it were just me I'd moonlight doing removals or train up as an EMT or something but my wife would kill me if COVID didn't.

New York (CNN)At Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center in New York, the ICU is at capacity, patient beds line the hallways of the emergency department, and the morgue is overflowing.

Covid-19, Dr. Arabia Mollette said, has turned the Brooklyn-based hospital into "a war zone."
"A medical war zone," Mollette, an emergency room physician at Brookdale Hospital, told CNN. "Every day I come, what I see on a daily basis, is pain, despair, suffering and health care disparities."
This is the reality for many hospitals across New York, which has become the epicenter of the American coronavirus outbreak. As of Sunday evening, there are more than 59,000 confirmed cases in the state, and at least 965 deaths in the state, according to CNN's tally of US cases.


Brookdale Hospital granted CNN rare access on Sunday to view health care workers' fight against Covid-19. The hospital is located in Brownsville, one of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City. The Brooklyn borough is one of the hardest hit by the virus, according to city data.

New York City is using refrigerated trucks as temporary morgues. It's one of the things we discussed a few years ago when our state went through some disaster training exercises. The county conservation district has a refrigerated truck bed that they use to store bare root trees and shrubs before planting. It has shelves that were clearly designed to hold cadavers.

You make it sound like every hospital in NYC has semis of dead people.

Isn't it one hospital in NYC that has 1 refer semi in use/on standby?

This idiotic reporting on hospitals being over run and running out of ppe is strikingly similar to flooding or tornado reporting.

The Red River in Fargo floods every single year. And news crews go and stand right next to the water and clutch their pearls about it. 2 blocks away everything is dry and life goes on.

Sure there are problems and difficulties to solve for, but some of these reports seem to be motivated by a separate agenda.

A lot of the clinics and health jobs around here are getting their hours cut due to no work.

All of this is overblown.

Use caution. There is some math in these links. That will be difficult and traumatic for some.

"Much of the response to Covid-19 seems explained by the fact that we are watching this virus in a way that no virus has been watched before. The scenes from the Italian hospitals have been shocking, and make for grim television. But television is not science."

"When giving evidence in parliament a few days ago, Prof. Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London said that he now expects fewer than 20,000 Covid-19 deaths in the UK but, importantly, two-thirds of these people would have died anyway. In other words, he suggests that the crude figure for ‘Covid deaths’ is three times higher than the number who have actually been killed by Covid-19. (Even the two-thirds figure is an estimate – it would not surprise me if the real proportion is higher.)"

There isn't much to bring that you idiots won't just try to **** all over, because you are not interested in learning anything or discussing any of the seriousness of the economic, public health, and social consequences of what we are going through. You're just into defending a proven liar and idiot, and trying to ignore the serious implications of the current crisis. Have fun with that, as this mess gets worse and worse. As with most things that are manifestly wrong, time will prove these posts to be maliciously partisan and uninformed.

Good luck everyone. I'm off the board for a while. I suggest anyone interested in being safe and learning what can and should happen at a local, regional, and national level do the same. I'll be back when there is actual football to talk about.

You read what you want to read.. It's probably good for you to have a break if a message board gets you that spun up.

'The president of Belarus is insisting that vodka and saunas will cure the coronavirus — while claiming nations that have gone into lockdown are in the throes of a “psychosis,” according to reports.

“It’s better to die standing than to live on your knees,” he said, quoting the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and calling sports “the best anti-virus remedy.”'

go Belarus go!

Oh....that would provide patients with quality care; make someone take care of them who doesn't want to actively be working in healthcare. There would need to be screening for competence etc.

There is always the " incentive" route. Of course this does not reward those dedicated employees who have weathered the storm giving their all. I have worked healthcare for 40 years..it's always a struggle.

I agree, if this happens these people are going to have to well compensated. Wife is hearing some places are offering $6000 a week for traveling nurses.

No way. Dudz said in the healthcare discussion a while back that it is a FACT that doctors are overpaid. They should be forced to go back to work for pennies because dammit, they love medicine.

i don’t understand why some people can’t admit the obvious. Trump denied the severity of the crisis early on. His inaction has and will cause additional and unnecessary loss of American lives. That is pretty much irrefutable.

While I don’t think focusing on such should be a big priority right now, I simply don’t understand how some people cannot seem to admit what is documented via the President’s own words.

Trump was called racist when he shut down travel from china, the very day pelosi was in china town with cameras rolling, the same time aoc was promoting chinese restruants,
The same time new york cities health dept head was promoting parades, hell even st patricks, look to new orleans and mardi gras,which went full tilt, and now theyre suffering.
All these 'leaders' doing the wrong thing, none listening to the experts, doing the opposite, taking no responsibility, then acting like they can't call an expert, or like none gave them advice.
Then acting helpless and blaming Trump.
You want these misinformed group of wimps that was sending cities over the cliff, go ahead, we dont want tohear it.
