There are no gaming controllers left in any stores. Within a 100 mile radius of Houston. They blame supply chain disruption, along with China import sanctions. No Xbox, noooooooo Xbox yuk.

Good news since many health officials think the combo of COVID and influenza this winter could push our hospitals to the brink. Also want to get ahead of all the conspiracies that are likely going to allege we’re counting influenza cases as COVID cases when comparing numbers to previous years’ totals. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Seeing lot of stories about cases and deaths leveling off. This chart reinforces the fact that more testing will find more cases but, after adjusting for testing levels, we are nowhere near March levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDom Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Doesn't look good for baseball. Will be interesting to see what they do now. With the bubble, I think the NBA should be able to make it. I don't see how college football can do it though. They'd have to accept that it will run rampant through players - I don't see them letting that happen. We just don't know enough about the long term effects on kids, nor the odds a 300 pound lineman faces. Especially with the continued optimism towards a vaccine, I think the best we can hope for is spring football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football just seems extremely unlikely to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people were hoping professional athletes would be unscathed if they got it (and the vast majority are), but there is a lot more to this virus than just the death toll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your last sentence is important and largely being ignored. Some previously healthy people are sick for a long time with this; lots of health issues afterwards that aren't really being talked about that much. Yes, the cases and deaths are bad, but just b/c people survived does not mean they have really recovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 @Lostin76, since you work in a hospital I thought you may find today's podcast for The Daily' interesting. They were talking about how patients were dying at a higher rate at the NYC public hospitals vs. private hospitals because they were understaffed. For example, when they learned that proning was good for patients, they couldn't get enough nurses to flip them over because with all the wires and IVs it takes 4 or 5 people to do that. The nurse to patient ratios at that time were 7 to 1 compared to 3 to 1 in private hospitals. A doctor said that he thought 2 or 3 patients out of every 10 who died could've been saved if they had enough staff. Just sad all the way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A doctor said that he thought 2 or 3 patients out of every 10 who died could've been saved if they had enough staff. Just sad all the way around. That is pretty accurate. Our NYU hospitals (especially the one in Manhattan) were pretty well staffed and we started preparing very early on. Proning is something we stumbled onto early as well and it gave tremendous relief to patients, but it does take more staff to do correctly/safely. The public hospitals in the Bronx, Queens, and our Kings County one here in Brooklyn, definitely got hit harder and they didn't have the bandwidth to be as prepared - didn't really have the staff to move from other areas like we did. We opened up tons of floors for COVID and staffed them with people from other places as the cases began rising. Thanks for the heads up on the Daily, I need to listen to that. We are down to about 100 inpatient cases (across our three hospitals) at this point and it's been holding steady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are really seeing people struggling with regaining normal function, especially previously healthy people. This is and will be a significant stressor on our health care system moving forward and I think it's lost in many discussions of the impact of COVID.

Today was my last unemployment check with the $600 so it will start to get more difficult. Hopefully they will get some kind of unemployment benefit for us. I know some say get out and find a job but it is not as easy as that sounds. I have applied for numerous jobs but have not got any call backs.

Reacher Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 In Chicago, if you are under the age of 50, you are almost twice as likely to die as a homicide vs Covid. Under age 18, 7x more likely. Lives will be saved by getting kids off the streets and into classrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
