OT: Corona virus Questions
- Thread starter FiliUTEP
- Start date
Thoughts and prayers. We all need it right now.
It’s unfortunate that I feel glad it’s only 517 new cases. That’s still way to high but I think we’ll all take it since it’s way less than the 1k plus.
Curfew now 10pm to 5am. Unless working its a $500 fine. Officials asking El Pasoens to stay home for 2 weeks starting now.
That is incredibly scary Corona. I pray that everyone comes through this fine. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
Utah and El Paso making the rounds all over national news. A national syndicate head national doctor for their programing stated El Paso cases grew out of Big Box Store infections, restaurant infections and large (family) private gathering infections. The Big Box store and restaurant infections were at about mid forties percentage if I remember right, the rest is the large private gatherings.
Local media says stop with the finger pointing and lets do our part and stay home and follow protocols. Ok, fine. Then how about what NM is doing and conducting check points for Covid violators. Heck, Ciudad Juarez said only one person per vehicle and they are doing check point too I believe and still mulling shutting their border crossings.
In other words, the communities surrounding El Paso are isolating El Paso and rightly so IMO.

When this all started, this is the scenario that was forecasted. We shutdown everything when there was 4 cases locally. Now that the real deal is here, no one really cares.
Trump beat Covid like in 6 minutes. My 94 year old grandpa with failing lungs looks like he’ll survive. Don’t put your guard down but also don’t go into lockdown. Life’s short.
In a way, what Sweden is doing is interesting. It’s an experiment and a risk. Where we fault our leaders is the lack of a coherent plan or philosophy.
For the people being blasé about this. Did you ever imagine being so chill about 220,000 and counting deaths? If so, we should be more chill about more things and apply that principle to other aspects of life that people seem to think is risky and worthy of safety measures.
Seatbelts are tyranny, etc. Second hand smoke is a hoax. Someone I know beat cancer, no big deal.

KVIA.COM:
"There are 908 hospitalizations and 223 patients in El Paso's ICUs. Dr. Ogechika Alozie, an infectious disease specialist and chief medical officer at Del Sol Medical Center, said the situation is devastating.
"That fatigue, having physicians and nurses literally come up to you crying, because it's tiresome and just painful to watch so much human tragedy and death," he said. "It's really hard to explain unless you've seen it."
Dr. Alozie said unfortunately people who aren't taking the pandemic seriously, are having to learn the hard way.
"How do you actually work the words "El Paso Strong"? Is it just a hashtag, or is it actually something that means something," Dr. Alozie said. "You gotta remember that your circle is interacting with ten other circles. Any interaction you have potentially is a risk.""

Sources: Giants OL Hernandez has positive test
The Giants said a player has tested positive for COVID-19 and has been immediately placed in isolation, and individuals who were in close contact with him have been told to stay home.
Just more political bickering. I actually agree with Samaniego's thoughts here, but just follow the law and stop trying to use your power to push through your beliefs on what is right. Samaniego is feeling empowered pre-election I guess. Not speaking to the mayor shows his ineptitude as well IMO.
If mayor Margo has created this divide by not listening to health care/hospital recommendations then he is being inept as well.

Don't worry. We got a bar where two people were almost killed a couple weeks ago, stating they'll be open today
He was just an old man with no ideas and blamed everything on the “young people”. “Young people spread the disease” “Young people leave their hometown”. Other candidates, even Leeser had ideas.
Margo was just like “if only people acted different”. Like he’s not capable of anything.
Interesting take.
Here is a brief question and response from each candidate
El Paso Chamber
elpaso.org
Samaniego's quoted response towards Margo (per EP Times)
"Whereas, the Mayor must have felt he had done his part to support the Office of Emergency Management, I took their alarming concerns to heart and decided to strengthen and amend my order to include a curfew provision to sound the alarm to our community with respect to the level of our healthcare crisis. So as you can acknowledge, the only difference between the Mayor and I with respect to a Stay Home directive is the difference in my level of fortitude and commitment to pursue what we believed would address our trend toward a catastrophic healthcare crisis. At this point it became obvious that the Mayor needed space to ‘further’ nurture his exclusive relationship with the Governor."
They couldn't enforce this if they wanted too. Its up to our businesses and our community to try and do what they feel is safest and most reasonable, no matter what our government leaders say.
If people could be counted on to do what is safe and reasonable, we wouldn't be in this mess.
