Another death tonight of a childhood friend. This pandemic is very personal. I have never experienced this much death in just a few days. The pandemic continues with thousands of deaths a day and the media coverage seems to be in denial: the quirky inconveniences of quarantine?
We have become desensitized to the death. The focus is on any sliver of positive data in an attempt to distract from the reality that this is an ongoing crisis with no treatment or vaccine. The health disparity of the poor, the warehousing of the elderly barely discussed in media
Our response is woeful incompetent as we all realize that there is no %100 federal marshaling of its resources to fight. Round the clock production of tests & PPE for the healthcare workers. We allow behavior a doctor would have been fired for a month ago. 23,000 dead in 4 weeks.
I can only hope the doctors and scientists are focused on what is important. Testing and a vaccine
What’s implied in the coverage is that all is getting better s we watch the numbers get worse. Only 1% of our population tested. The numbers only reflect those that have been tested. 23,000 deaths from only 1% testing. Can you imagine the real numbers?
