The lack of PPE for healthcare workers is a national disgrace, and these type of reactions should be criminal.

I am sure this doctor will be needed else where immediately.
There isn't any solid proof that infection by smear contact is even happening on a significant scale. The contact tracing from Singapore doesn't fit the pattern for smear contact very well. Multiple people aren't getting sick from eating the same food or touching the same things. People are getting sick when they are sharing the same spaces. It suggests droplets are the primary form of infection. Hand washing is an important, common sense preventative measure, but I don't think that is at all clear that it is more valuable than mass community cloth mask adoption.
Same in France and everywhere it seems.
Unbelievable such important resource was so much downplayed...
Can anyone in / from spain tell me what this aditional lockdown means ? i assume people in the transport / logistic sector will still be open Monday ?

Texas MedClinic locations now testing for coronavirus, if you meet certain criteria
SAN ANTONIO- Texas MedClinic locations across San Antonio are now testing for the coronavirus, but you have to meet certain criteria. Testing started last Friday for patients who will be screened online, asking about their symptoms and health background. So far they've done about 300 tests, but...

South Texas MedClinic here in San Antonio are testing for CONVID-19 now under certain condidtions. At least it's something I guess.

We're going to need a whole lot of doctors in many places I'm sure.
:(
It drives me nuts, those things are not terribly hard to make and they don't require any scarce resource. I think we mainly just need to recognize that we need some sort of serious state intervention here. It can come in many forms, from just putting a giant pile of cash out there to incentivize companies all the way full nationalization and everything in between.
But I think it's pretty clear that doing nosing is going to end up horribly.
Found this on my YouTube feed earlier.
This simulation does well to show the effects of many of the measures taken by governments around the world to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

TLDR: Wash your hands, and self-isolate, keep your social distancing.

Social distancing is the best strategy according to science. Here's how.

Honeslty, there should no longer be anymore "everyday life", especially for Americans. Not until they can get past COVID-19.
It's important to understand they saved 15 million euros of storage/renewal by destroying the 1.7 billion masks we had in stock in 2010.
It's in the same line as destroying the Val De Grace as first act of our dear President Macron, sacrificing our equality symbol that was the military training hospital which, sure, allowed the same level of treatment to anyone holding a french ID or member of La Legion than the President of the Republic or important diplomatic friends ... but also was occupying a fantastic realestate in the heart of Paris, which could be sold for hundreds of millions to the Saudis/Chinese. (i don't thing they've found a buyer yet, but the hospital is destroyed and all professors went either abroad or to private clinics or were dispatched to other military hospitals... they were among the best there... I am still bitter as all hell).
We don't need hospitals, not at all, and sure don't need equality of treatment, now the Head of state can go to a private clinic of his choice.
I need to bite because these comments bother me, and sound like a person that has never been on a nature trail.
They are not "holidays", and in most cases, are VERY isolated from other people. They are not super popular recreational activities, compared to those clogged urban trails you see. This would be the BEST place to walk without coming in contact with many people, period. It's open, you can see people coming and can easily walk very far around you. Some places would have more dense neighborhoods where it's harder too if lots of people were doing it.
This is NOT a beach or a park, or even an urban cycling trail, where they ARE places people are gathering. Don't you think if a responsible person saw 50 people in a nature trail that they would still go? Nature trails are most often, quiet, peaceful, and great for mental stability.
I'm sorry, but this would be the best case for people to get out for fresh air if they can. You personally have no problem for being locked up and not stepping outside, please don't criticize respinsible people or call it a "holiday" to those that MUST get out, somewhere.
Here is some good news. San Francisco seems to be doing well. We are finishing our second week of shelter in place (and most companies went to WFH a week before that). Some hospitals are resuming surgeries.
We'll probably have a pretty good picture of how well we are doing if we don't get the expected surge next week.
Let's just use common sense here. A local trail not many people know about? Sure. A popular tourist attraction with a packed parking lot? Stay away.
And on the trail, just pretend you have a vicious dog on a leash and step a few meters off the trail whenever someone approaches.
Basically they are from poor parts of North India living in Delhi on a daily wage. As they run out of their low savings, they are trying to get back to their home villages by walking nearly 400km - 600km. Both State and Union governments are trying their best but the huge number of people leaving Delhi has led to collapse of everything.
Indeed. Maybe with a decrease in new cases, we will eventually start noticing fewer people needing ICUs in Italy.
Is it logical to assume this virus will likely kill a number of big name celebrities, athletes, politicians and so forth?
This is all great, but it's still extremely hard to get masks in the US. If we start recommending their use (let alone mandating them) many people will find them impossible to get.
To be clear, I think we should certainly recommend their use and probably mandate it, but this has to come with ramping up of production and figuring out a way to ration them to people.
We also probably need some very visible PSAs about how to make them at home.
Some maybe but a lot? No.
The rich are getting tested far quicker than others and have better health care access in general. Again, some will die but most are way better off than us.
Athletes very unlikely as they should be in top shape, celebrities and politicians potentially, but again better healthcare.
Lttp, but pizza delivery does help, keep doing your job the right way. It isn't crazy to think you are saving lives by doing so.
Tough call, but this is literally life and death in some cases. There isn't an easy answer.
While I said pizza delivery is important above I thought this tweet matches exactly what I see from my managment:
I think some will die, but they are going to get the best care this country can offer, which is very very good, so I expect their mortality rate to be well below the general population. They can also isolate better than most and their social circle can actually get tested, so I would imagine they would be less likely to get sick.
"If you wear a mask, you make people uncomfortable"
"Dont wear mask stupid. It doesn't help."
"Why do you want a mask? Let those be for medical people only"
Yea I'm tired of these takes. Wearing a mask would def help in curving the spread. It doesn't mean it will stop it but it would add a small % to keeping everyone safer.
Hopefully, this pandemic will help western countries to adopt that habit for when the next one hits.
Ventilators or hope-against-hope doses of medication don't know who they are assisting. Coronavirus already killed a local politician that was in well-known in my town, and someone I had met a year or so ago.
It doesn't and shouldn't matter whether someone is big-name or not, we're all going to be affected by this before we are vaccinated. Maybe for the sake of our community we should minimize the conjecture on "who will die" for now.
Just like with every problem like this that Trump hasn't figured out yet, other countries have already solved this issue. Just limit the number of masks someone can purchase. Maybe you can't truly limit the masks by tying it into a national ID system, but hoarders are gonna find it very time consuming driving 10 minutes to the next store for another ~3-5 masks. I'm sure Trump will be calling up Tiger Woods for advice on this issue though.
Wearing a mask or gloves obviously helps but if people don't know how to put them on and take them off they're just getting a false sense of security. Just out of my twitter TL from a pediatrician:
twitter.com
"Went shopping after my shift. Lots of people wearing masks with the nose out; others with gloves touching their face. But the absolute winner is the one that took the mask out to sneeze 3 times then put it on back again"
JM Lloreda on Twitter
“Hoy en el saliente de guardia he ido a comprar. Mucha gente con mascarillas con la nariz fuera; otros, con guantes tocándose la cara. Pero el que se ha quitado la mascarilla para estornudar 3 veces y luego se la ha vuelto a poner ha sido el ganador.”

Yeah, I think this whole ordeal will finally wake up the west on using masks everyday just like Japan and other Asian nations already do. And on the fun side, if you can get some black masks you can look like a ninja now!
You don't have a national ID in the US, and tying it to any sort of other ID is going to leave a lot of people unable to get them.
I don't have a solution by the way, but I would guess it's probably going to be some be some dramatic over-supply combined and strict price control, but both things are hated by free market fetishists, so I am not optimistic.
And yeah, Trump being an idiot is not going to help any of this.
I would always hope that instead we reduced pollution so these eastern Asians nations didn't feel the need to wear one because the unhealthy air was still one of the main drivers. Not disease spreading.
Just want to clarify for any of you that this guy is a comedian/Youtuber who does really funny fake local news interviews, don't take this seriously.
I always thought it was more about diseases than air quality? Same reason I heard in Japanese stores you NEVER give or take cash directly to the cashier during a transaction but instead put it on a small metal tray on the counter.
this whole crisis will run deep for everyone. i don´t think this will be the same world for a long time, even after this is over or a vaccine is available. it will change the way people interact with each other on every level.
Wouldn't that be related to touching each other not being socially acceptable?
In the long run, it may be for the best. Especially if more people wash their hands after using the bathroom. Just look as this fucking map.
And its WORSE in the US with only 58% of people saying they wash their hands...
One of the first videos I saw of him I didn't know of his schtick and got played, so I was just being careful considering this is a serious thread.
