CoVID-19
I can’t even imagine what the ratio of people to hospital beds that could handle an advanced covid case in Lima is.
I hope you and yours stay healthy!
Sounds like they are leaving it up to the Governors/states/etc. Good move, actually. Federal mandate would incite even more panic. But we shall see...So it begins.....

Trump just said restrictions could last thru July or August.
Fucking madness.
Good time to visit Yellowstone!
I would guess 3-4x more beds per capita compared to the US. Even my poor country does way better in this category.
Irish-developed kit confirms infection in 15 minutes
An Irish company is preparing to release rapid Covid-19 testing kits, which can provide results in 15 minutes and potentially act as a "clinical weapon" against coronavirus.

I think it's hilarious that I can only remember seeing Ireland in the news twice in my recent memory.
3/15/2020 - Pubs in Ireland asked to close due to Coronavirus.
3/16/2020 - Irish developed testing kit to confirm Coronavirus in 15 minutes.

Actually, knowing Lima, I doubt it. Alexis?
The number of hospital beds doesn't fucking matter. It's the amount of direct care (and ancillary) staff that is the important thing.
Fill all the beds you want. No staff/not enough PPE for that staff? And when that staff begins to fall ill?
I love what I do, but I am not going to put myself and my family at risk beyond the norms of my work. We run out of PPE? I'm going home. My altruism extends only so far.

There is like half the doctors per capita compared to the US, and like 1/4 of the EU.
There were 70 cases in Peru when the lockout was declared... there is no way the health system could handle an Italy-type situation here.
However, you might already have it, and be asymptomatic...
So when do the ISP problems start? No employees available. Increased reliance on web communications. It’s coming soon.
You don't need people to maintain the internet... that shit works by magnets and MAGIC, man...
you guys see the reported HHS hack?

But of course.
My point still stands. I will keep working until 1: I am either compromised due to being infected, suspected or otherwise and need to quarantine. Or enough contact to make me suspect.
2. We are out of PPE/my institution can no longer provide appropriate PPE.
3. I am no longer able/too tired to work in a safe enough way to ensure the safety of me and mine.
Until such a time as we have the capability to test all of us on the front lines, then this is what I am able to do.
We've had a + case in my unit for over a week. I took care of this patient the first night, being incredibly anal about my use of PPE. Symptom free at the moment. Yes, the means fuck all, but it's what I've got for now.
I recovered from being nonpolegic for this?
Sure. They'll "collapse" like GM did, hire a new president/CEO and continue to provide a shitty product

Dr. Drew says press should be ‘held accountable’ for coronavirus panic: ‘They are hurting people’
Celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky isn’t changing his tune about the novel coronavirus, declaring Monday that the news media should be “held accountable” for the damage they’re doing to people’s lives and the economy by over-hyping the virus.

Thank you. And it's not just purely out of selfishness for me and mine. It's also that if I become compromised then I will end up infecting others thus further compounding the problem.
God, I hope people like this get called out after the fact if it does end up being substantial...Doctor Drew says...

Better to have caution now than 2% dead later, perhaps?
@eric strt6 .......any police you know wearing masks like yours seeing as how they have to get up close and personal with john q public?
I have a mask like that from work.
Might wear it to the store tomorrow...
