DD went to ER in TMC this week and was placed in the ICU the next day. She was put on a non-Covid floor though. Not sure how they allocate the ICU beds between Covid/non-Covid patients. I hope your DD is okay. Being placed in ICU is serious 😔 She's home now and fine. Thanks for asking  |

This is beyond disturbing. I hope somehow things start to turn around snd there are less cases. Is this making the news or is it all being covered up. I’m hoping it’s at least making local news. The article I linked at the top is local news. |

I’m so sorry. I hope recent measures start to bring the numbers down and I hope Texas comes to its senses regarding starting school. I’m in one of the lucky few states where our numbers are declining but probably not for much longer as the virus spreads and cases spike.

Freakin’ Yakima. It’s okay, though. The coronavirus isn’t real in Yakima. Just a liberal conspiracy to keep Trump from getting re-elected, no big deal. This thinking BLOWS my mind. Like really? Every country in the entire world is conspiring against Trump getting re-elected? Even Russia? No way would they all willingly kill their citizens and tank their own economies just so Donald Trump won’t get elected in America? Please!!!! It is mind boggling. Every time the newspaper publishes articles listing new deaths/number of cases... without fail... someone comments “We don’t believe you anymore.”, or “Stop lying, you liberal rag.”. It makes me want to punch things. |

I have to ignore the comment sections now every time Governor Inslee puts something out because I know I’ll lose IQ points and/or want to punch a wall from the stupidity I’ll read there 🙄. |

I am wondering why steps taken in NY have not been taken in other critical areas? Where are the hospitals set up by military and staffed by military medical personnel? Cuomo said we, (NY), will help other states as pandemic moves across nation. Are they helping? Have they been asked?

Because the governors of these states do not want to piss off Trump or his supporters. They’ve been selling the party line that this is no big deal and it will go away if we just ignore it, or pray enough. Asking for help or taking steps like NYC would be admitting that they were wrong. |

What a mess. What a foreseeable mess. I'm so sorry, but I fear that is the future for many states, if not all of us.
I can tell you that there are multiple federal disaster medical teams in Texas at the moment, because I have a relative on one of them. This means that Texas did indeed request federal help. Most states have at least one disaster medical team to send out and up to now, that model has provided enough coverage to rotate teams in two week shifts to respond to caring for people after emergencies in different states as needed (hurricanes, floods, etc). However, if the entire country needs help at once . . .

One measure that can't be hidden (well, I assume it can't) is the extra deaths over the average number of deaths at this time of year. Home deaths have drastically risen. Heart attacks that are being attributed to Covid-19. Supposedly they are not being tested so probably not listed as Covid?!?!? |

Where are the hospitals set up by military and staffed by military medical personnel? Gop amd dem of the Texas delegations have requested at least a Field Hospital in the Rio Grande area.. Maricopa(?) county in Arizona has requested refrigerator trucks since the morgues are full! |
