OT: Corona virus Questions
- Thread starter FiliUTEP
- Start date
Never thought I'd post this, but I'm glad we only had 863 new cases, but it hurts me to see that we had to bring in mobile morgues. It seems like the other day we were discussing the possibility of hitting 20k cases and now we're almost at 70k.
A coworker of my mom's passed away this morning from covid. He had been in the hospital since the beginning of August

Sorry to hear that. Its a total disaster now. I just can't imagine what it will be like if we hit a 5-10% active infection rate.

After COVID-19 Diagnosis, Nearly 1 In 5 Are Diagnosed With Mental Disorder
Those recovering from the coronavirus were more likely than other groups of patients to be diagnosed with a mental disorder within three months, according to a new study.

Despite all of the data. Half the people in my life don’t really believe in the virus.
Nothing will convince some people. Some people aren’t convinced. I see stuff like the nurses and doctors are lying and they’re getting paid more to label people Covid. It’s crazy.

My grandfather passed away a month ago and he was NOT diagnosed with covid after his death. He had underlying conditions but he passed away at the hospital from cardiac arrest. He was 95. If the hospital was out to label anyone as a covid victim in order to get the money, they would have for sure labeled him as a covid victim, but they didn't. These deaths are because of covid.
I believe the DRG of COVID-19 pays high in the hospital (to the hospital), but so do many others. Doctors don't make any more or less than whatever they bill normally for their care. Many patients are unfunded as well and get equal care.
If I put a death diagnosis of resp failure due to COVID-19 or septic shock due to COVID-19 then the person died from COVID-19. Its just like having death from Flu, cancer, AIDS or whatever. People die from complications of the disease. These people are dying from COVID-19.

Just speaking as to what I saw.....when California was strict, many of them came over here and when things got bad here many fled to New Mexico and so on. Thus, corona just jumps around.
‘No One Is Listening to Us’
More people than ever are hospitalized with COVID-19. Health-care workers can’t go on like this.

Yep. I was in a local religious ministry zoom meeting three weeks ago and the leaders were all brainstorming how to recruit new members and do more for our churches, "we need to do this & that...we need to do more" which is fine....but.
Then a hospital worker who had the floor to speak started with a plea to just "Stay at home! Please! [Tearful plea]". He went on to describe the heartbreak in the hospital and how he had been infected and has to quarantine so much he can't be near his kids and family and the isolation has taking a toll on him personally[rubbing tear from his eyes].
Texts on the bottom of zoom: "prayers for you brother!"
Pray, good. Don't stop. But just stay at home, wear a mask, wash your hands constantly, stay six feet and no it's not fake news.
Overturning a stay at home order is hardly “an outstanding victory” for Texas especially given the carnage this city as well as the rest of the county is going through. Between him and the Lieutenant Governor who said grandparents would gladly give their lives to save the economy Texas is in no position position to lecture California about wacky politicians.
This pandemic has alot of politicians and judges power tripping. Every region of the country is involved in pissing contest.

Hope it isn’t true, but this story seems to be gaining steam. This is just a complete horror show from the top down. I think we can all sympathize with the front line health care workers and everything they’ve endured for the last 8 plus months. But if this is happening then I hope all the doctors letting that happening face the consequences because that is not right.

El Paso is out of control. 4% of the population is infected as per local officials reported on Sunday. As indicated by science experts, above 1% makes it difficult to trace & control. 1,550 cases this morning. Medical experts from outside say El Paso actually has a pretty good hospital/health care system, however; the pandemic is bending the local system badly.
I want to see this thread to be put to rest, soon. I'm praying for a miracle.
