1600 Covid Avenue, Washington, D.C.

It's been a busy month in the White House where Trump's valet, 2 Pence employees, 3 white house staff members and something like 11 secret service agents have all tested positive for the coronavirus.
Testing, testing, testing and serious concern for top officials in the oval office.

I shouldn't speculate on this one...

Unmasked...

They reopened a popular South Florida beach and 7,000 people showed up not wearing masks with a total defiance of social distancing. So the city was forced to close the beach again. C'mon people... use your brains.

Restaurants are soon to reopen allowed with only 25% capacity. It's reported some will annex their parking lots setting up tables distanced so they can service customers and maintain compliance. They have a plan!

Local news reports say many retail stores have masks for sale.
It's good to hear this.

While I find the image below to be funny, if the outside of the mask is contaminated and your hands touch the straw and cap, there is a strong chance the virus will pass into the mask.

Ironic....people attacking other people

Before this virus...well...even during it....there are people who attack other people. dem vs rep rich vs poor....the list just goes on and on and on and on.....


Ironic though....

This virus is reported to set our immune system in hyper mode, where it actually attacks ourselves.


hmmm

Work Restricted

I see a blog regarding working from
The home place as opposed to pre
Covid.
My own thoughts would be if you can
You should. It is going to be a long road
Back for our Economy, as well as for
Others.
I am not working, the hotel that has my
Employment is closed indefinitely but
My job is safe. My hours probably will
Be less. I will be okay.
In lreland the restrictions are starting
To be eased. Hopefully, not too soon.
There is pressure on governments
Now as people are struggling and
Also the fine weather which is a bigger
Test now.

Evidence that Covid 19 was around in November?

A good friend of mine works at a hospital lab in a big city. Well, she does not play any direct role in the scenario, but she might have prompted indirectly some of the action to be taken.

Anyway, she has just informed....

Her mom's boyfriend was very sick in November. His doctor thought he might have lung cancer, but it was later diagnosed as pneumonia.

Just recently, in fact the results were gotten today. He and his doctor decided to test him for the anti-bodies of Covid 19, and his test came back positive.....meaning he has had Covid 19.


Well...either he had the disease in November, or he caught the virus later on and never even knew he had it because there were no signs he had it.



dunno


I am not doctor, but if I was a betting man (and I am) I would put my money on the fact he had the virus back in November.

If only he had listened and followed directions

From The New Yorker;



Andy was particularly spot on with this one from over a month ago.
If Trump stayed away allowing Fauci to handle the pandemic,
things would have been much better, than the chaos Trump fostered.
Less infections would have occurred, more centralized equipment & supplies acquistion at the federal level and more lives would have been saved.

Prone to recovery from COVID-19...

A few weeks ago, I got into a discussion and made some blog comments that hospitals in China and Italy where coronavirus patients in ICU where placed on their stomachs in a face-down prone position instead of the usual position of being slightly propped up were recovering without the use of ventilators.
One theory was to drain fluids in the lungs and another (more importantly) was to relieve pressure on the diaphragm from the effects of gravity.

The technique is called "proning" and it's helped patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) increase the amount of oxygen in their blood without the use of intubation!




I've seen a few articles that confirm this:
