The hospital is rarely a safe place even under good circumstances. Never allow a loved one to be alone there. Advocacy is the most human thing you can do and can save lives. I have the highest regard for the medical pros. But even they are sometimes lacking. Just like any other profession. I am glad for Jason, his dad and all the family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are others un named, rich and poor asking what is needed that they are willing to do. Some just have more recognition. Corporate and business Goodwill Is a good thing.Of course, we know that. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's a matter of just trying to retain our customer base until things get back to normal, and at the same time, attempt to move the projects that are in process as much as I can while also trying to coordinate any emergency service that may pop up, electrical, plumbing or anything else that would be a real emergency for customers.

BigStewMan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 at what point will the world governments decide that the cure (isolation) is worse than the disease and tell everyone to get back to work and we'll just deal with the 4% of deaths? obviously, this wouldn't be a health & safety decision, but one to save their economy. Not saying that is what should be done, just been wondering, while I have nothing else to do. economies did exist in some form long before we were on the scene, but not as we've experienced it. with the whole world in isolation, how long can "life as we've known it" exist? I guess it could be rebuilt quicker than it was originally built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to keep the infected people at a level that the health care system can handle. Having 10,000 people infected in one month creates a different load on the system than having those same 10,000 people infected over a 4 month period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 to answer my earlier question, I guess this question is being asked by Trump. I was just reading on USA Today that Trump said after 15-day social distancing period expires, they'll decide which way to continue. scary times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could be rebuilt quicker than it was originally built. 1st off they’re unsure whether survivors of these infections actually obtain lifelong immunity. Other forms of corona viruses do not impart lifelong immunity. You get a couple of years and then lose the immunity. This is why Coronavirus colds get caught again and again. Covid 19 could turn into an annual event replaying the same ugly scenario over and over. 2ndly the more people who get covid 19 the more opportunities it has to mutate into something that could be even more lethal. 3rdly there are other sequalae to having the disease that are unknown. Lung scarring, loss of smell and taste are 2 possible long term being discussed as consequences of getting and surviving the disease. Science needs to give us the drugs needed to impart immunity and/or fight this disease. I believe it will be with humanity from here on, rather like measles and polio. We just need to be able to manage it like we can with measles and polio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 1/3 of the population gets this and 1% dies, that is over 1,000,000 dead in the USA. Is that acceptable? What if you and everyone you love is in that group.
