Been expecting this. The same observations were reported in Italy several weeks ago. And I'm also expecting to hear that a lot of deaths prior to the first "official" Covid death, will also be reclassed as Covid caused. While the number of Covid positives is about to sky rocket as we increase testing so will the mortalities. So don't go blathering about a death rate less than the flu you mathematical retards.

And staying home and social distancing is not a Gubamint plot to take yer freedumbs either.
A new memo issued Monday by Attorney General Bill Barr told federal prosecutors nationwide to “be on the lookout” for COVID-19 public health measures that “could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of individual citizens.”

The covid threat falls into a weird area with MTers. On one hand, you've got the "don't tell me what to do, freedom!!!!" crowds, but on the other hand you have a lot of older people who are more conscious about their health.

That's interesting. No such concerns for our governor, but I think the main thing keeping Idaho together is this: if your whole strategy for the apocalypse was whining at the government and making stupid signs, what would you need with a whole deer carcus, 8 months of canned goods and 178 years worth of lead and brass?
It felt like a unique moment even before Barr joined the ACLU.

I see the problem of the stats they were trying to infer but it seems like the video was taken down which troubles me as censorship. They may be wrong and misguided but in the end they may have been on the right track. It has become such a partisan issue I'm wondering once there is more solid stats will clear decisions be made.

The kind of contact tracing that we could have using smartphones is so invasive that it would make KGB from the Cold War days wet their pants in glee. I'm not surprised that both the right and left see this as a slippery slope. Not sure how we could possibly create this surveillance apparatus, trust that it will be used responsibly, and retired when it's no longer needed.

Yes. N95 and cartridge respirators with exaltation ports do not function as source control. Proning increases dorsal alveolar recruitment and vq matching. We did this for intubate ards patients usually paralyzed +sedated helped avoid ecmo. It's very labor intensive and involves increased risk of pressure injury aa d complexities in assessment and nursing care. With covid we are pronimg early including encouraging patients to self prone while they are just on high flow o2 (not vented) proning awake patients

Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey
I need someone to talk me off a ledge. I have an email for my supervisor waiting for me to hit send. The jackass has been trying to convince our group for the past three weeks that this ‘covid thing’ is not nearly as bad as the flu and tonight he just put a nail in the coffin. He said he did some ‘statistical modeling’ and has confirmed that there is a much higher risk we will die from the flu. He also said he is excited
to chat tomorrow about our path forward and getting back to normal. At first I laughed and then I remembered this is the asshole that gets to decide my fate in regards to the job. I just couldn’t take it and wrote a pretty frank response to the email and intend to copy in his supervisor. I’m just at my wits end with this kind of bullshit. We have spent a considerable amount of time discussing options how we can adjust to keep a safe, productive work environment. Some of the ideas people have brought forward have been great and are things that will likely continue post covid. It’s clear my supervisor is trying to convince us it’s all groovy and we don’t need to change how we do things. I just can’t comprehend how people can really think this way, and believe it so wholeheartedly that they are willing to put others at risk. I am going to sleep on the email but at this point that enter button is looking more and more tempting.
Here is the really ironic part. I’m a fed employee and work for an agency that in general prides themselves on safety.

apparently the you tube video posted here easrlier today from the doctors with the largest study on a population in the us to date showing the mortality rate is 0.03 percent has been taken down by google, good thing; do not want to calm anyone down.
hmm, 0.03 about what I had figured but what the hell do I know; i'm a right wing knuckle dragger(that reads astrophysics books for enjoyment)TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

If you think your employer is not following state or federal corona virus guidelines, file a whistler blower complaint. That process is anonymous (unless Trump and the GOP demand you be outed)

Right on cue. Mr. Dunning Kruger himself. Hey look everyone, he reads astrophysics.
Tell us more about how you’d support Sweden if they are trying to kill all the brown people who moved there.
“The doctors should never have assumed that the patients they tested — who came for walk-in COVID-19 tests or who sought urgent care for symptoms they experienced in the middle of a pandemic — are representative of the general population, said Dr. Carl Bergstrom, a University of Washington biologist who specializes in infectious disease modeling. He likened their extrapolations to “estimating the average height of Americans from the players on an NBA court.” And most credible studies of COVID-19 death rates in reality are far higher than the ones the doctors presented.
“They’ve used methods that are ludicrous to get results that are completely implausible,” Bergstrom said.”
