Covid-19 live

3 people dead in Wisconsin since the "crisis" started... 1,000 per week normally die.

NJ Gov. Phil Murphy has a state budget of $59B and is asking the Trump admin for $100B in state aid. Wondering how much of that will go towards state pensions Murphy swears to fund but can’t because Democrat’s are unable to agree on mandating a millionaire’s tax.

Just an opportunity to bail out the upside down accounts of liberal, socialist, Democrat run states.

I talked to a woman that is a caregiver at the local old folks home. No covid-19 cases nor does she know anyone that has it.

Corvid-19 is real. The crisis is a hoax.

Accounting for nonrespondents, we estimate that there are 62,188 full-feature mechanical ventilators owned by US acute care hospitals.

In addition, respondent hospitals reported owning 82,755 ventilators other than full-feature mechanical ventilators; we estimate that there are 98,738 devices other than full-feature ventilators at all of the US acute care hospitals.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21149215

We have at least 160,000 ventilators and nurses already figured out how to treat 4 patients with one ventilator: https://hackaday.com/2020/03/19/savi...-1-ventilator/

So we have enough ventilators for 640,000 patients and we have 450 "serious" cases of Covid-19 in the US right now... but we're critically short of ventilators according to every news outlet??? WTF?

Elon Musk just bought over 1200 brand new ventilators from China: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...ex/2905980001/

There is a LOT of BS'ing going on about this outbreak; I just can't figure out the "end game".

[dgscroggs]

“The end game” is to ruin the economy to make trump look bad ( not working)and they will step on and destroy every citizen in this country to try and make that happen

[David - WI]

I do understand there are politics at play, but why are countries like Italy & Germany playing along?

If Chineses hospitals were "overwhelmed" would the Chinese government really let Elon buy 1200 ventilators?

I'm as "patriotic" as the next guy and will happily sacrifice if it's really going to do some good... but I hate being lied to.

How long before the media hype causes a run on the banks? Mom went to withdraw $5000 from her savings and they actually asked her what the money was for as if it's any of their business. Mom told attendant it was none of her business. The lady had to get authority to give my Mom HER money. Now what happens when some of these elderly freaked out citizens that have busted their asses over many years to acquire enough to live on ask for their money. Many have lived and worked hard enough to have substantial funds they thought were easily at their disposal and protected by government insurance (FDIC) but now not so sure. All Mom wanted was $5000 not $500,000. I know it has her scared and questioning what to do and I am sure she is not alone.Rock

Possibly the banker was just trying to help? My neighbor lady got scammed... phone call...

Voice: "Grandma, I'm in jail... I need help."
Neighbor: "Jimmy? Is that you Jimmy... I can barely hear you?"
Voice: "Oh... yeah grandma... it's Jimmy."

I think there is a dollar amount max that you can take out that they are required to ask what it is for.

My local bank just enacted a 1000.00 per day cash withdraw limit...

This panic button has to get released now-we are seeing other financial markets and industries giving knee jerk reactions and the ripple effect cost that have already been put in motion are going to be tremendous.

The bank has to report anything over 10 grand.

About 8k/200k

So about 4%!

New York (testing lots of people) with 210 deaths / 25,665 confirmed cases = 0.8% now and falling as more are tested.
