As long as the people yelling the loudest that we need to reopen are not the ones actually putting themselves at risk, it’s going to be too early.

This! For some hardcore alcoholics the withdrawal can be bad enough to require ICU care. It’s not great to encourage addiction, but having people go cold turkey and use up medical resources is far worse

I think it’s more because the sweaty gross mask is breeding ground for non-coronavirus stuff that you don’t want to be inhaling all day

This must be why my wife keeps asking me if I want a rowing machine to pass the social isolation time

Yea seriously, I’m cool with reopening the economy if each of these assholes has to go work as a supermarket cashier or clear emergency rooms

Well, she’s just trying to get her racism out before she dies of the coronavirus

They’re welcome to the ones that are broken because nobody thought it’s important enough to maintain them. No health providers though - nothing to encourage self sufficiency in the American style like having to set up and maintain your own breathing support!

I can’t believe the number of people on here arguing that this is the best time to do this because of fewer people on the roads. Some areas have huge numbers of first responders already sick from the virus while trying to take care of larger numbers of emergency calls. The one upside to the lockdowns is that the EDs…

Actually if there really is a God, they all suffer terribly from COVID-19

So there were two bullshit papers that recently came out arguing that the coronavirus affects hemoglobin in some way. Hot garbage science. Immediately on a bunch of the physician COVID-19 related groups, a lot of people started speculating that maybe African Americans were getting sick more frequently and more…

Yes, absolutely this! They go to great length to avoid following U.S. regulations and paying their share of taxes, so it’s only fair that the financial bailout prioritizes those companies that are actually based in the U.S., employ U.S. workers, and follow the same regulations.

That’s some bullshit. The hydroxychloroquine use with “battling lyme disease” is basically a red flag for both her and her physician. But setting that aside, the symptom improvement that she reported with the hydroxychloroquine just physiologically can’t happen. There are no antivirals that work that quickly, and none…

I’m a white guy and certainly not in any way PC police, but it’s crazy how many people are commenting on here about people not being able to take a joke. The white people equivalent of this would be someone who lives in Sandy Hook posting an equivalent picture with someone polishing a gun joking about annoying kids…

There are plenty of people who need to get to work to do essential jobs who don’t have cars if they live in big cities or nearby burbs. Healthcare workers, grocery workers, the people who keep your electricity and water running, the people working at the gas station that allows you to have fuel for your car, etc. If…

I’ve been following the discussions about how we’re going to ration ventilators when the time comes. I worry that a lot of systemic issues and implicit bias are going to result in minorities getting really screwed in the ventilator distribution scheme. Even if you’re just going by comorbid conditions that affect your…

Just wait until he hires Elizabeth Holmes to help coordinate testing!

Fucking Eagles are going to ride that number 15 for the next decade. 

We used IVF so I feel for these families, but it’s not reasonable to demand or expect these procedures at this time. This is not something that you do at home on your own. It requires keeping a clinic open 6-7 days a week for monitoring staffed with people to collect and run labs, nurses/techs, ultrasonographers,…
