I hate how they trickle everything on us. They knew this back when this mess started.
That's the whole thing, it's not very responsible to do right now.
Plus, people wouldn't do it. Was out at the post office before, the postal clerk this morning said: "Trump says it will be over by Easter, so it won't be long." Ugh.
Looks like masks made out of vacuum cleaner bags are almost as effective as surgical masks.Relevant to the current discussion: https://thewirecutter.com/blog/homemade-face-masks-coronavirus/
They're not. I work for that company. We are producing as fast as we can at every site we can, running mask production lines 24/7 and staggering breaks to keep the lines running through typical break periods. We're expediting the creation of as much additional manufacturing equipment as we can to ramp up our production as quick as we can.Why do I get the vibe companies like 3M are sitting on warehouses full of masks and they will conveniently hit the market in 10 days at a higher than usual mark up?
Thank you,we need to prepare for whats coming next, its gonna be tough but somehow i believe we may end up a little better after this nightmare calms, hoping everybody stays safe
That's awesome to hear!They're not. I work for that company. We are producing as fast as we can at every site we can, running mask production lines 24/7 and staggering breaks to keep the lines running through typical break periods.
How 3M Plans to Make More Than a Billion Masks By End of Year
The company is using “surge capacity” to increase the production of N95 masks to fight the pandemic. Localized supply chains are a secret weapon, too.www.bloomberg.com
I get the impression it will be a rolling peak, moving from area to area as regional outbreaks happen. Other peaks around the country don't particularly interest me so much as the peak in my local area, which is probably still many weeks out.I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but do we have some peak date estimations? I feel I'm starting to lose my mind locked in my house with my Christian mom lol
For about $80,000, an individual can purchase a six-month plan with Private Health Management, which helps people with serious medical issues navigate the health care system.
Such a plan proved to be a literal lifesaver as the coronavirus pandemic descended. The firm has helped clients arrange tests in Los Angeles for the coronavirus and obtained oxygen concentrators for high-risk patients.
"We know the top lab people and the doctors and nurses and can make the process efficient," said Leslie Michelson, the firm's executive chairman.
"This is a white-collar quarantine," said Howard Barbanel, a Miami-based entrepreneur who owns a wine company. "Average working people are bagging and delivering goods, driving trucks, working for local government."
Business Insider was reporting the same thing earlier.Where is this guy's source at or are we to believe him because of check mark?
My work shut down on tuesday with a tentative reopen date of April 6th. They have already started calling people to go in on monday. What a fucking joke. I'm pretty pissed about it.
At least that answer the question how rich people keep getting tested.

To clarify, this is probably related to diabetes, high blood pressure and more difficuly breathing due to a heavier chest which are more common complaints for those who are overweight. Causation has not been found yet either, but it's hard to imagine they're not correlated at least.In the Netherlands almost 80% of IC patients are overweight, that seemed like a hug statistic. Not sure if posted already.
Services like this helped Steve Jobs get a liver super quickly, and I'm sure that's not the only case.so theyre getting rich idiots to pay them 160k a year for very little benefit until now. Its not even health insurance, youre basically paying them to schedule things at Mayo or John Hopkins
Huh?
I'm not familiar with the exact income distributions across the country, but the United States only has about 130 million households. You're suggesting that nearly a quarter of US households are bringing in >=$1M each year. That's pretty obviously bullshit.

Yep.This is why I laugh when people say $100k is wealthy in America. You may not be living paycheck to paycheck, but no one in that category is paying $80k for this kind of access.
Keep the lower tiers fighting each other while pulling this kinda shit at the top.
About 60% of Dutch people over 65 are overweight as well, so it is likely more correlation than causation.In the Netherlands almost 80% of IC patients are overweight, that seemed like a hug statistic. Not sure if posted already.
Can someone explain me what the rationale is behind everyone wearing masks? It's such a complete overkill. An infectious disease specialist here in the Netherlands compared it to wearing condoms all day long to prevent an STD.
Look at it like this- if they even prevent one person from getting COVID19, they've done a hell of a job. The crisis we're in right now? It started with one person.Can someone explain me what the rationale is behind everyone wearing masks? It's such a complete overkill. An infectious disease specialist here in the Netherlands compared it to wearing condoms all day long to prevent an STD.
Rubber bands and folded paper towels are 80% as effective as standard store bought paper masks I've read.
That comparison makes me not take that specialist seriously.Can someone explain me what the rationale is behind everyone wearing masks? It's such a complete overkill. An infectious disease specialist here in the Netherlands compared it to wearing condoms all day long to prevent an STD.

They are open for a reasonI was curious after your post, and one of the first comments had a picture of a dead child in it. NSFL.
The horrible thing is, if I were brave enough to go back to Twitter and wanted to report that, Twitter wouldn't do shit and just suggest that I ignore that user.
No. Don't go on a nature trail. Remember the pictures of crowded trails. Also, if something were to happen to you and you need medical attention because of it - you'd take up the extremely limited time of exhausted caregivers.
Northern eu countries really are showing the worst of themselves in this crisis. You were a mask cause in the chance that you were infected with no symptoms you won't spread it. His stupid analogy is also wrong, it is like wearing a condom when you have sex, which you should do!
So did they actually start testing people with one symptom yet?Lombardia (Italy) update:
+2117 new positive cases (total 39415)
+542 new deaths (total 5944)
Yeah, can we stop it with the generalizations? One mans comment in this case =/= all of northen Europe showing the worst.Northern eu countries really are showing the worst of themselves in this crisis.
It spreads through coughing or sneezing or through touch. Not through breathing. If you're symptomatic, stay inside. If you're not, and if maybe you're asymptomatic, limit going outside to the bare minimum, wash your hands and don't touch your face. I'm just glad us "northern EU countries" are basing our policies on evidence based medicine.Lol I was just going to put this out too. Like the condom analogy only makes sense if you're literally fucking 24/7. You have to breath, you know all day long.
