Why was this sign language lady not being used from the jump by Besear? Brings a lot of his decision making into question tbh. Concerned

Mash is giving off a real flat earther vibe lately.
As much as I disliked Matt Bevin, I really did think he was a very good governor for the Commonwealth. But damn, can you imagine what that dude would be F’ing up right now if he had been re-elected?
Probably call for a statewide pox party, and maybe call on religious leaders to pray this thing away.

That's brutal. Probably order in a few nights this week to try and help out.
If Bevin was in charge it would be business as usual, condescending tweets toward people concerned, scoffing at people asking about testing, etc...
We’d have zero chance of dealing with this successfully if he was in charge.

Finally - leadership we can trust.
Long time lurker, so sorry for intruding, but I’m also a MD (not infectious disease, internal medicine, or critical care) and want to say that from what I’ve read, the jury is still out in this regard. There is maybe even some evidence that ARBs might help, and there are trials for losartan in COVID-associated pneumonia. Would post links but I’m on mobile. Anyway, that’s all to say that no one should stop taking your BP pills unless you doctor advises (IMO, of course).
Since I’m here already: as to why there are so many negative tests - there are lots of viruses that can cause upper respiratory infection symptoms (RSV, flu, etc., even other forms of coronavirus) and these are very common. Many people probably have these, as they do at any given time.
then again, they may be false negatives, which is one of the drawbacks of the “test everybody” approach, but that’s a topic for a different day.
Yea, that.
also more people are getting tested than normally would get tested for anything because of all the publicity for this. But all this is good, it gives us numbers to work with.

Working on plans as to what a full shutdown would look like.
Pay for employees - Remaining sick PTO days
Return schedules
Headcount to work the massive backlog that we would return to
Long term temp agency employees - Helping with pay
Real.**** show that seems more realistic of happening with each passing day.
How was everyone's weekend?

Tyler Thompson has a post explaining to all of us waterheads how to successfully work from our homes. Thank you god for Tyler Thompson - no she won’t make you a sandwich lol
my kids are gonna eat all of our emergency groceries by Wednesday.
Probably being paranoid - but my son had all the coronavirus symptoms and was extremely sick late October/early November. Multiple doctors, ER, 3 xrays. None could figure out what was wrong. After about a week he was better. 2 weeks later he was back to normal. I know the timeline isn’t perfect, but it’s making me think.
Looking more and more like my vacation is donezo. So is youth baseball season. I realize there are more important things in life, but I really live for March madness, baseball and vacations and not going to have any of those this year. At least not like I usually do. Now the only thing I’m hoping for is that the national guard doesn’t execute me and my entire family. The little things!

I’ve seen a couple local papers stating on their Facebook page articles that the Governor has closed all restaurants and bars.
That’s pretty GD sloppy and I’d be furious at that headline if I owned a business with a drive thru or carry out.

While I don’t work in an ER or an ICU (yet), I’ve seen and heard plenty. Right now it appears most tests in KY are being reserved for either: asymptomatic known contacts of positive tests, or people extremely sick with no other diagnosis. But by and large, most people with the symptoms of it, who are going to hospitals and urgent treatment, are not being tested because there aren’t enough tests available. The number of “confirmed tests” is almost irrelevant because so few people who are suspected of having it are being tested. There are plenty of patients presumed to likely have it, who don’t (yet) warrant inpatient hospital care, who are being told to self-quarantine at home by doctors. They *are* being tested for generic cold virus panels and the flu, because those tests are inexpensive and widely available. You hope those panels come back positive because it identifies a known culprit. Many are coming back negative, leaving COVID a presumed diagnosis of exclusion.
Hence the handing down of widespread quarantines.

Getting word that distilleries may be closing too. I get closings and trying not to spread this virus, but It’s really hard to point and laugh at the toilet paper hoarders when EVERYTHING is closing.
If this isn’t biochemical warfare, then we better hope and pray it isn’t a new tactic China just learned.
If the inspections office is included in this govt shutdown, it will literally take until next year to get past this.

So, in other words, the tests are beautiful, and anyone who wants want can get one.
Got it.
That was the BRAX post I was needing on this sad sad Monday AM.
These (and day after UK basketball games) are the times when people lean on GYERO the most -- TS.

Yeah that's really surprising.
Wouldn’t be surprised if UK is able to create their own test. Vandy has an is testing whoever they want now.
Just put the finishing touches on my few weeks supply of goods for the family. Might just call in sick for the rest of the week and wait for the official shut down order.
May be suffering the first non-Covid Covid death by way of bleach poisoning after "sanitizing" the shop. F*ck.
100% convinced that this virus has been going around for months. There was a stretch prior to winter break where tons of people were being diagnosed with "something that acts like the flu or strep but isn't." Starting to think it was the Chinese Coronavirus brought to you by China.
A buddy of mine that works for a rival system emailed me today and their telling employees in the hospitals in at least one state to ration surgical masks and gowns and to “reuse them”.
This will be a reset in the mindset of LEAN, Six Sigma, and Just-In-Time processes.
After this, hopefully everyone will soberly build more resilience and slack into their lifestyle and forgo keeping up with the Jones’ as they focus on family. (Haha)
Like the talk about this virus not affecting kids or whatever - maybe it's because the little turds have already dealt with it?
I just text a good friend of mine who had pneumonia about a month ago. He’s relatively young (42), healthy, and a non-smoker. I jokingly texted him I bet he had the corona.
So, he texts back that he just left his doctors’s office and she told him the same thing. Took 4 vials of blood and orders a CT scan of his lungs. He also has shingles now and she suspects it’s due to the weakening of his immune system.
He’s a teacher and said 3 kids in his class ended up with pneumonia after his diagnosis.
I’ve been around him several times since he’s ‘felt better’. Puke.
Surely it being around for months is actually better, right? It makes containment impossible, but it also means we shouldn't necessarily expect massive spikes given the lead time.
Open to correction on this, but it's just what hits me straight away from that possibility

Apparently Britain is telling people over 70 to self-quarantine for four months and everyone else to carry on as usual.
I am inclined to believe that might be the better approach.

We would get massive spikes either way because, even if it's been around for months, people weren't getting tested.
I trust the healthcare professionals and believe it's important to take it seriously...but the graphs showing the spikes of cases in these different countries (including the US) seem misleading to me because the jump in positive tests is obviously going to jump with the number of tests administered.

No doubt. How else would you explain it spreading in the random podunk areas like it has. Cynthiana the first outbreak in Ky? No chance.
