Hardly Anyone At The Hospital. Where's this National Emergency?

For those who think this is a joke or hokes just come spend 1 hr with me. People are dying and they are dying by the 1000s. I have lost friends, colleagues, patients and, luckily so far, no family members. Everyone in NY are mandated, to wear a mask and social distance yet our President and Vice President refuse to do so. Just be thankful that you are not one of the lucky ones on a vent right now. Originally Posted by jaman123

Drove by the same hospital again yesterday afternoon.

THEY TOOK DOWN THE DRIVE THRU COVID TESTING TENTS.

Hospital parking lot about 10% capacity. Looks like a mall that only has the Sears store in business.

Trump "The cure must not be worse than the disease". We have let the

dpst liberals stampede the country into an economic disaster - and they are trying to prolong and worsen the disaster to the maximum possible.

They are bent on the destruction of Donald J trump at all costs - including the destruction of America.

They are bent on the destruction of Donald J trump at all costs - STOPPING the destruction of America.

$600 Billion .... roughly 20,000 beds .... and about 1,000 total occupied for a brief period of time. Warp speed construction and pissing off $600 Billion ....

BTW: Has the Corps completed the New Orleans levee project?

people are delaying vital medical treatment because they are more afraid of the coronavirus than the existing illness they have

I myself am guilty of this because I get extremely dehydrated at times. and I refuse to go to the hospital because I didn't want to take the risk because the media kept reporting all these coronavirus numbers but then there's no one at the hospital I'm just not understanding

it is a reported that a lot of people are going to die of cancer and other illnesses because they are not going to get screen because they are afraid of the coronavirus Boogeyman

... is bullshit.

For YEARS you, and others, have been going to doctors' offices and emergency rooms with worse shit than THIS VIRUS all around you and didn't think a thing of it! (Why do you think THEY were there?) Then you took a prescription to the PHARMACY with a bunch of other SICKOs waiting for their Rx .... in line a foot or two apart ... unless there was a "patient privacy" distance imposed by the pharmacy, which was customary and more than 6 feet. Now all of a sudden it's a big deal.

I LOVE not having to go to a doctor's office ...

.. and sit on my ass for an hour+ waiting to see a doctor for 5 minutes.

My last "visit" lasted 10 minutes on my Iphone and never had to get up from my office chair!

not really here to argue but it's not hysteria it's funny how people want to listen to the coronavirus doctors when they're talking about how bad the viruses but don't want to listen to them when they're telling you do not delay receiving medical treatment if it has nothing to do with the coronavirus

And tell me how they're going to run a test that involves a machine while you're on zoom?


Yes you can probably do a wellness check visually but some things have to be done in person let's just cut the crap please

I didn't know medicine had advanced so greatly that you can draw blood over the internet or give people IVs

But I am behind on technology so who knows

Perhaps you should spend more time doing legitimate research on the resources available to you in the real world rather than getting information from a hooker board for your life choices. I test my blood DAILY ... also take my own temperature.

I haven't taken a Covid19 test and won't. Don't need it.

I keep a spreadsheet with daily vital signs that is easily converted to pdf format to attach to a message to the doctor.

Any prescription I get from a physician I research BEFORE I give it to the pharmacy or pick it up from the pharmacy if it is sent directly. If I don't want to take it, I shit can it.

I'm not interested in the doctor getting a freeby from the pharmaceutical rep on Thursday afternoons if his/her patients use their new drug they are human testing before full release. Recently, the reps aren't that hot anyway.

you don't test your blood daily I don't even believe that but if you want to say that to appear that you're winning on this topic go ahead

Honestly it's just not even worth the argument If you didn't need to go to a doctor to get some things done at dr. Offices wouldn't even exist I'm done talkin about it

Why don't we just do everything virtually and see how that works since people think the economy should never open back up. Get rid of customer service all together. No human contact f*** it let's just get rid of humans how about that

And I'm so sick of the people who always want to talk about this being a hooker board quit stating the damn obvious we know that

that doesn't mean you can't give or get information or give your opinion on here

If this particular portion of the forum was dedicated to just talkin about play time there wouldn't be a political portion of it now would there

if you're getting bent out of shape about this being a hooker board and why are you even on here?

I don't even understand people sometimes . you don't know me so to infer that I'm not taking responsibility for my life is ridiculous. Again some people might let you talk rude to them but I'm not one of them

and I'm going to kindly just ask you not to refer to me anymore if you can't speak to me in a nice tone

Thanks
