The shut everything down too early and now with everything exploding the just had to shut down all optional surgeries again. AZ pushed the curve instead of flattening it. Trump holding a rally their is like throwing gasoline on a fire. Tucson's hospitals are at or near ICU bed capacity as of today. They are using the state surge line to try to move patients around or out of the area. Quote As of Tuesday morning, ICUs in both Banner hospitals in Tucson were at capacity, as were Northwest Medical Center and Oro Valley Hospital, where patients from Pima County are being treated, as well as patients transferred here from the Navajo Nation, Yuma and Nogales. https://tucson.com/news/local/tucsons-hospitals-managing-a-health-care-crisis-as-beds-fill-patient-transfers-increase/article_21ce003c-3bf3-5e82-9cf1-1529f2c2b600.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hospital is completely full and a hospital down south is putting patients in storage closets. Pray for Arizona.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightly packed urban areas, retirement communities, climates where people tend to stay inside .... No shit, anyone with a brain figured it out. Can't avoid it completely, do your best to minimize public indoor environments, wear masks, wash hands, fingers crossed, pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSF Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 1 hour ago, modestobulldog said: It's not rocket science Actually, it is. Kinda, sorta. There's still a lot the experts dont know about this virus. For instance, a small study just published suggests that the amount of time a person has antibodies might be related to their level of illness - those who are asymptomatic being at the short end of the scale. That would put a damper of the concept of herd immunity. It's becoming pretty clear that it is not a seasonal infection, given that the current spike is occurring mostly in places where its pretty warm right now. But what we dont know yet is how that will affect the death rate. Does the weather make it easier to get over, or have we learned enough about treatment to prevent a commensurate spike in deaths? Or both? Lots to know, lots to learn. 2 Quote In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

soupslam1 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 More over reaction. It is unnecessary to wear a mask outside jogging or walking your dog, or mowing your lawn. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker ordered the use of face masks for anyone stepping outside their house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
