Hospitals consider universal do-not-resuscitate orders for coronavirus patients

washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03…
Hospitals ... are engaged in a heated private debate over a calculation few have encountered in their lifetimes — how to weigh the “save at all costs” approach to resuscitating a dying patient against the real danger of exposing doctors and nurses to the contagion of coronavirus.
The conversations are driven by the realization that the risk to staff amid dwindling stores of protective equipment — such as masks, gowns and gloves — may be too great to justify the conventional response when a patient “codes,” and their heart or breathing stops.

👉Dr. Desai hammered these facts:

--US/S. Korea saw 1st coronavirus case same day: Jan. 20.
--US/S. Korea had *same* data from China at *same* time.

*US and S. Korea responded v differently w different results*
Of course, Dr. Desai & other medical experts appear frustrated:

"The delayed and chaotic testing in the United States will cost lives, potentially including those of doctors and nurses, many medical experts predict."

*First Emergency Physician Lost to COVID-19*

ACEP President W. Jaquis:

"We know the risks of the job we signed up for, but we are on the frontlines in this historic war against COVID-19 with insufficient protection."

"There are dire shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) in emergency departments across the country, & despite efforts to ramp up production, we do not see significant relief in the near future. America can’t afford for more emergency physicians and ...
other frontline health care providers to get sick or worse due to PPE shortages."

THE INVISIBLE ENEMY

1. What does @POTUS mean when he says “The world is at war with a HIDDEN ENEMY?”

2. What does he mean when he says “We will defeat an INVISIBLE ENEMY?”

3. What did he mean when he said we're “going to MARS very soon?”

Are they related?

I say yes!
2. HERE IS MY THEORY

I DON'T think he is referring to the #CoronaVirus

I think ... get ready for this ... he's telling us that we're going to War with the Roman Empire which has been hiding in...

हमारे शरीर में जब वायरस को लगता है शरीर उसके किसी काम का नहीं रहा तब वो दूसरा स्वस्थ्य शरीर ढूंढने लगता है.इस प्रक्रिया को कहते हैं शेडिंग. #CoronaVirus अपने symptoms दिखाने से पहले भी shedding कर सकता है.यानी symptom न दिखने पर संपर्क में आया व्यक्ति संक्रमित हो सकता है (1/7)
#CoronaVirus के संक्रमण को symptom में बदलने में 14 दिन का समय लगता है. लेकिन symptom दिखने के भी 20 दिन बाद तक ये वायरस शरीर में रह सकता है. यानी किसी के स्वस्थ्य हो जाने के बावजूद वायरस शरीर में हो ऐसा हो सकता है. (2/7)
#CoronaVirus से ज्यादा जानलेवा बीमारी थी #MERS पर वो #Pandemic क्यों नहीं बन पाई? क्योंकि MERS में वायरस हमारे RESPIRATORY TRACT में काफी नीचे जाकर बस जाता है. लेकिन #COVID19 ऊपरी हिस्से में ही रह जाता है जो खांसी या छींक के जरिए जल्दी बाहर निकलकर फैलने लगता है (3/7)

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

Now that it appears #coronarvirus was engineered, it makes me wonder if the Chinese spy “tourist” who tried to get into Trumps’ Mar-A-Lago and was arrested by Secret Service. Was that a test to see if a virus-carrying Chinese assassin could penetrate the Trump compound?
Infecting a Secret Service agent while the virus is still in its incubation stage — where the host is nevertheless highly contagious — seems to be a perfect tool for an undetectable assassination.
China hates Trump and hates the fact they can’t buy him. Being forced to deal with him and being publicly bitch-slapped by Trump for their cheating, theft and tyranny has been humiliating. But killing him would start WWIII. But what if they could kill him ANONYMOUSLY?
