Positive Test in Atx among providers

Read John Barry's 'The Great Influenza' and you will realize that the 'government' spread massive amounts of non-information and misinformation during the pandemic. They prevented many of the reforms that might have made a serious difference early on. Were the populace stupid in general? Yep and how.

Was the government complicit in the spread, yeppers. Woodrow Wilson would not slow down the concentration of troops in affected/infected camps and overcrowded troop ships were floating coffins.

Troops ships 1919=cruise ships 2020. Public health trying to tell people to mask and distance 1919=same thing 2020. White House spreading false information 1919=same thing 2020. First wave mild effects and survival rates high 1919=Initial effects minor and containable 2020. Refusal to acknowledge the world wide potential for a pandemic and massive infections and death -both 1919 & 2020.

TO WD: I lost relatives to the Great Influenza also. Buried in mass graves with no idea where in OK they may be. Originally Posted by forge223

How many local providers and johns have contracted COVID-19?

I wish ECCIE would provide a forum for such information. I understand privacy and all, but a lot of people out there are just ignoring the guidances and TEXAS is the new NYC. I’d love to get back in the game, but if it’s a matter of life or death...

Public health means all of us. Even those of us who share many of the same “masks.”

GL rules say no medical speculation.

Thank you for the clarification! Good to know.
