The best advice on COVID-19.

It will be interesting/frightening to see what the cost to society ends up being for all these "lockdowns"...

The French government on Monday announced new measures to protect victims of domestic violence after reports showed a sharp rise in abuse cases since a nationwide lockdown to slow the coronavirus outbreak went into effect last week.

F***ing democrat politicians! Illinois (so far) has 5,057 positive cases and only tested 30,446 people...

This was the third federal shipment of personal protective equipment that Illinois has received and it arrived Sunday. Pritzker said that in its first request several weeks ago, the state asked for over 1.2 million N95 masks, 900,000 surgical masks, 1.6 million gloves, 24,000 gowns, 24,000 goggles, 120,000 face shields and 4,000 respirators -- but received "a fraction" of that, as it did with its second, larger request.

Yea there only testing here once you have a fever or if u have an underlying condition, Same with us 14 day stay in a hotel if you transport a known case... They told us to fly back to the station with the doors open lol, yea real technical decon. We had a specialist from the tauma hospital come and give us a lecture on monday, Not alot of good news, one scary part is they said if you get a serious case it can leave you with permanent lung damage so be careful..

The desperately needed USN Comfort opened for business in NYC to help alleviate the burdon on "overwhelmed" local hospitals... no patients today but they're ready!

More Cuomo BS... he made a big deal because he never thought Trump would get it there before the "crisis" was over... now there it sits.

Word we're getting is Comfort will be used for non Covid cases. I suspect because if the ship can remain "clean" it will be easier to move to a different location if needed.

Cuomo has turned down the rhetoric because the situation is very serious and not time for BS, also because he is responsible for much that has gone wrong, and it's not good to look like a crybaby when running for president.

So far all I have seen Cuomo do is run his mouth and spew mostly lies. How serious is the situation? We will find out. I would not want to be wrong about it, though.

I live 40 miles from Manhattan and I'm assaulted daily by his ugly mug live on the TV, not bites or clips, and it's undeniable he's turned it down. He's trying VERY hard to look "Presidential".

That is what I am hearing as well. Something about a contested convention. Have not looked into it, but do not need to. Would not put anything past the D's based on what I have seen in the past few years. And honestly, He is probably about the best shot they have against the incumbent, in my opinion.

[SS Minnow]

Oh, and he is on the national news daily. Some days a little longer then others, but he is definitely getting air time on CBS national news.

The coming election might already be a "throwaway" for the Dems. My bet is 2024.

[SS Minnow]

I never put my money on the "sure thing", no matter how much it shines. As well, I would never put anything to a lower standard then the D party. As I have stated before, just when you think the D's cannot go any lower, the bottom falls out again. This "crisis" is just what they need to "find" lost votes that were mailed in, or not counted on time do to the COVD18 (Chi-knee/Wuhan flu) virus. Just imagine all the ways they can, and will cheat now.

I switch around between local and national. Curious, do you guys get to see the part where he says 80% of cases self resolve and require no treatment or hospitalization?

I totally understand that the ships are set up for "trauma" not "infectious diseases" and mentioned it in the past BUT (I've been there) in NYC there are heart attacks, shootings, car accidents, stabbings, etc 24/7... and if the local hospitals were ACTUALLY at capacity those patients would be on the boat.

There's always North Korea. Have they even had one "reported" case yet? Tiger blood runs through those people's veins, and I haven't heard of one sick tiger yet.
