OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Really? I figured friends and relatives of doctors would be, you know, average.

 

I have a feeling that if somebody dies from an virus like this, they can’t be released to the families.

 

Yeah, that makes sense but I assume those boxes will be covered with dirt and will eventually get soaking wet from rain. Add to that, the upcoming very warm temps, and that makes for a pretty grizzly scenario whenever the virus diminishes and families will naturally want their relatives exhumed, and relocated to family cemetery plots, etc.

I would think that cremation would make more sense, at least for the families who would agree/consent to it.

Or, are these people in the boxes destined to remain where they are now as their permanent resting place?



But I admit, maybe I'm looking at this all wrong.

 

This would suck

 

17,000 people have died in this country.

17000

And he talk about his ratings. Does this bloated fat fuck have even an ounce of empathy in his body? Soulless POS. I so badly wish karma was real.

 

Wow, I just saw this.

 

It looks like those being buried at Hart's Field are only those without next of kin or those that can't afford a funeral. This is typical of NYC, but usually the numbers are only about 25 a week and the work was done by Riker's Island inmates. It has now increased to 24 a day and the work has been taken over by contractors. That is what I just read at least.

 

Could've been less deaths. Hard to say.

At its most severe, coronavirus attacks the lungs, making it impossible to breathe without a ventilator. Landing in the hospital on a ventilator is bad. But worse is being told you can't have one. After learning that the state's stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to a fork in the road in 2015. He could have chosen to buy more ventilators. Instead, he asked his health commissioner, Howard Zucker to assemble a task force and draft rules for rationing the ventilators they already had.

That task force came up with rules that will be imposed when ventilators run short. Patients assigned a red code will have the highest access, and other patients will be assigned green, yellow or blue (the worst) depending on a "triage officer's" decision. In truth, a death officer. Let's not sugarcoat it. It won't be up to your own doctor.

Cuomo could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece or a total of $576 million in 2015. It's a lot of money but less than the $750 million he threw away on a boondoggle "Buffalo Billion" solar panel factory. When it comes to state budget priorities, spending half a percent of the budget on ventilators is a no brainer.

Now the pandemic is actually here. Cuomo's grim reaper rules will be applied. New York City's deputy commissioner for disease control Demetre Daskalakis is anticipating "some very serious difficult decisions." So far, in New York City, 1 out of every 4 people with a confirmed case has been hospitalized, and 44% of them have needed a ventilator.

 

That's the article we're talking about...Sly posted it yesterday afternoon;

Thanks for sharing

 

There's little if any doubt that the death toll would have been significantly lower if the Trump administration had acted when they could/should have.

 

Yeah, that's the question I posed earlier about whether they were only the "homeless/nameless'. Otherwise, it would seem to me that if they were just randomly burying covid19 fatalities there, it would make for an odd scenario if/when family members wanted to locate, exhume, and then relocate the body of their loved one/s.

 

April 9, 2020 COVID-19 Daily Update

Interesting report and comments

 

I'll be glad when the rest of the US starts trending like that.

 

I mean all you really talk about is Trump so....

 

In one tweet he managed to insult everyone except for his minority (and in minority I mean the people who support him, not race) puppet base.

 

Well, one of them promised everyone that he and only he can do it all and is unwilling to take responsibility when tens of thousands of people die because of his inability and the other is expressing his opinion on a forum where people express their opinion... So, yeah.
