WI keeps some of that as well here as to bed & ventilator availability against in-use numbers. Beds are at about 66% use, ventilators at about 26%. Drive-thru testing is continuing to be pushed out further to the hinterlands by the main clinic systems operating hereabouts (mostly Mayo or Gundersen-Lutheran). If I called my Doc or the triage line & they said get tested it's a drive of about 12 miles.

I note in this morning's route recon that several more small-biz have re-opened almost in reflex to the Gov's extension of the order to the contrary. Where the rubber meets the road there is something in the air (besides fresh sticky buns) that says his cookie-cutter got kicked into the landfil. And that's being really polite.

"Cuomo Says Two Million New York City Residents May Have Had Coronavirus"

https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/27...d-coronavirus/

"As New York state continues its aggressive antibody testing, the latest results released by Gov. Andrew Cuomo show that 24.7 percent of people tested in New York City tested positive for having had the virus, with 14.9 percent testing positive across the state. A quarter of New York City’s 8.6 million residents translates to about 2.1 million people, a staggering number considering the city has thus far confirmed only 158,000 cases...."

I'll bet you'll find far higher antigen tests everywhere than people thought.

My daughter works the cardiac unit here. Six months ago they were experiencing shortages in her unit and hospital wide. Since the COVID-19 "outbreak" the situation has actually reversed and there is a nursing staff surplus. I think this is generally true throughout PA. Nothing close to what was predicted.

I am wondering how we have been so completely conned? Or am I completely off-base? I really want to believe that I am completely off and someone here can put me back on track and show me error of my ways. Please? If not then I fear that this COVID fiasco makes the Russia collusion theory pale in significance.

So now we see calls to investigate the Trump response! Anyone else smell a strawman here? Damn, now I sound like tin-foil hat wearin' conspiracy theorist :eek:

I wouldn't doubt it, after all you can only maintain control by instilling fear in the unwashed masses. His extension of another month is ridiculous.

Someone asked about hospitals being overwhelmed, local to me I think the capacity has been fine, but they are running out of consumables like the filters for the ventilators. They have turned to homemade using pvc fittings and basically any available filter media.

This Doctor should be taken out and shot.

He used the Orange Man Bad drug and it killed a patient in his rest home.

80 Patients and Staff Members Come Down with Coronavirus at Texas Nursing Home – Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Saves All But 1 Patient

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...ves-1-patient/

"A nursing home in Texas has a hopeful story for those suffering with coronavirus.
The Resort at Texas nursing home had an outbreak of coronavirus that infected 56 residents and 33 staff members.

Dr. Robin Armstrong immediately administered hydroxychloroquine to the residents and staff members along with Zpac and Zinc.

Only one nursing home patient died since the doctor prescribed the hydroxychloroquine.
55 made it......"

For the crime of conducting another clinical trial that isn't a clinical trial. And Big Pharma cries Sad Panda tears. No bak$hee$h, Sahib.

I was trying to decide on the best thread to post this, figured this might be best.

Has anyone watched the video interview with Dr. Judy Mikovits on *******.com? Plandemic. It's about 25 minutes long, so many virologists and doctors are making IMO valid points. She makes some heavy accusations, some of which I've had running through my head for weeks now.

I just keep thinking that if you are basically a healthy individual sheltering in place = eventual lowering of immunity and resistance to germs due to lack of exposure = more susceptible to illnesses. Hell a common cold could kill you at some point if you don't have a strong immune system.

The financial information on reimbursements, statistic reporting etc are interesting.

Follow the money...

Indeed.

Here's the sanitized full link to the one you mentioned:

Also, she apparently had a falling out with Fauci years back which she goes into at length on this one:

Thanks, wasn't sure how to share that link! The statement under the posted video is so powerful.

I wish more people would pay attention and question the rhetoric spouted by the supposed experts.

This doctor talks about how this virus targets the endothelial cells in the blood vessels because they have ACE2

Wiseman, with regard to targeting, is that a natural road map of this virus, or was it designed to attack that specific vulnerability?

Thanks Gypsy. I hadn't seen that one yet. Something to follow up on when I get back home. (that site's blocked at work).

Looks like Womack AMC is starting to open up some.

Eye clinic called to reschedule my appointment that was cancelled the end of March.

They set it up for Friday - said to wear a mask if I had one. If not they would give me one at the front door.

Mother Gulag that runs that video service has already taken it down. This should tell you something. Some folks have backed it up at various places, a couple of which are (for the moment):

Here at The Captain's Journal
and
NC Renegade has it here.

The 25 minute one that Gypsy mentioned above should illuminate (starkly, imo) why the white-coated Ivory Tower emphasis on Remdesivir (sp?) vs. Hydroxychloroquine regimens shown to work. Patent$, ca$h, and all that $tuff.
