At this point they should stop using the fake “14 days” to x and 14 days to that. It is a made up baseline per all the extended guidelines that I am seeing. 14 days ago BDB/Cuomo announced school closures; non essential closures are going into their 8th day in 82 minutes.
Trump said today 3/29 that the peak Coronavirus in the US is expected to be in two weeks which is Sunday April 12 but to be on the safe side he wants the CDC guidelines active until April 30 (per Fauci’s recommendation). But we are repeatedly told that from exposure to symptoms
can take up to 14 days and another week until hospital. This means that cases in 2 weeks from now is based on distancing that took place March 22 through today. If so, Dr. Fauci could have suggested to “open up” by April 15 or even sooner. No? I am using THEIR math! Blame them!

The policy by @MaimonidesMC and other hospitals to shut out companions of patients adds to the stress on staff, patients and their families. It also creates strife between all sides and it leads to a deterioration of health for patients. This needs to be cleaned up ASAP!
Blocking out companions is a mess. Staff are making life/death decisions without asking family. I heard today of a case (first hand once removed) that staff from a hospital called the family 12 midnight; asked for a yes/no and click. BTW see this petition: change.org/p/governer-and…
Many thousands of patients in NY/NJ hospitals do not have a companion to thier side. This adds anxiety to patients when they need calm/rest, and it adds stress on hospital staff. It is a net-loss of a policy. cc @MarkLevineNYC @NYGovCuomo @GovMurphy @GNYHA

Cuomo said early last week he expects apex in NY to be in 14-21 days (April 6-13). At that point he said NY will need 125K beds for Coronavirus including 30K ICU. Hopsitals are stretched thin as is so stay home and distance/gloves when out. But needing 30,000 ICU beds all at once
on April 6, means the following added ICU usages per day:

500 on 3/28 (3K total)

1,000 on 3/29 (4K total)

1,500 on 3/30 (5,500)

2,000 on 3/31 (7,500)

2,500 on 4/1 (10K)

3,000 on 4/2 (13K)

3,500 on 4/3 (16,500)

4,000 on 4/4 (20,500)

4,500 on 4/5 (25K)

5,000 on 4/6 (30K)
NY had 2,037 ICU Coronavirus cases by 3/28; not 3,000 and they are not all at once. Also, the ICU count in NY went up by

172 on 3/27

282 on 3/28.

This is way slower than what was anticipated a week ago even with a lockdown. Again, some NY hospitals are melting but this is

Hey @paulkrugman. This chart does not show that the US has processed more tests than most counties; hence the steep rise in known US cases compared to other countries. BTW Japan/Korea erc does not have anywhere close to the US-style shutdowns. Trump wants to open. You with him?
.@paulkrugman Your tweet that claims the US is doing worse than other countries has a chart which shows a steep rise in the US (thanks to a rise in testing that you ignore), and it shows some countries flatlining (those who keep test count steady and/or don’t have lockdowns.
So what is your plan @paulkrugman: The US should slow down testing or the US should “open up” like some of the flat lined counties have done? (Actually, they never shutdown the way NY/NJ have). Either troll like a pro or give good plans. You have done neither at this time. Sad.

💚Seven years. Seven years ago it was a Friday afternoon & spring break was starting for my #school. Seven years ago I left the school where I #taught kindergarten for 18yrs & headed to my mom's house for a girls trip to Mexico. I didn't realize that would be... Con’t

my last time at my school. Seven years ago as I excitedly drove to my mom's, a car came out of no where totaling mine with me inside causing a Brain Stem Injury.

Darkness
Sirens
Silence

It was the most frightening time of my life.
3. Seven years seems like a long time ago but not to me. The battles I've fought these past seven years since my car accident have been difficult but have taught me so many lessons about life.
No one truly knows what tomorrow will bring. I've learned who my friends & family are.

“Mr. Xi’s visit comes as China re­ports a steep de­cline in the num­ber of new cases. On Tues­day, Wuhan shut down the last of the 14 tem­po­rary hos­pi­tals that it had built to ac­com­mo­date the sud­den surge of new pa­tients.”
A signal that China can get back to work:
But, despite this victory lap for the Xi presidency, China is very much not back to normal. Those who can leave Hubei will still need to quarantine. Their Alipay health codes will still be red. They’ll still be shunned from society.

"Who wants to go to the dentist or the hospital during an outbreak if a visit isn’t necessary? Yet health spending is 17 percent of the U.S. economy — more than triple the proportion spent in China."
"Agriculture, a sector not noted for day-to-day social interaction and so potentially less harmed by social withdrawal, is a 10 times larger share of China’s economy than it is in the United States."
"For all the talk about the global 'supply shock' set off by the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on supply chains, we may have more to fear from an old-fashioned 'demand shock' that emerges when everyone simply stays home."

The cliché cover photos have even become a meme of sorts for Asian Americans and westerners, with people from many backgrounds throwing their hat into the ring with corona aesthetic ™
Last Monday, a young Singaporean man — Jonathan Mok — was assaulted in an unprovoked hate crime on Oxford Street in London. The men reportedly yelled “I don’t want your coronavirus in my country.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m… Image
I don't know why the man in Flushing collapsed, but he doesn't look much older than Jonathan Mok, and as we approach this pandemic, I am given a little hope in that — unlike China's lifeless pariahs on the streets — people came to help in America. ImageImage
