Lots of state reporting record hospitalizations despite what shooter says!

Global report: seven US states report record Covid-19 hospitalisations
Dr Anthony Fauci warns of ‘disturbing surge’ in cases; China gets approval for human trial of vaccine; first death in Australia for a month

Seven US states have reported their highest coronavirus patient admissions in the pandemic so far, as cases surge in the US following the easing of restrictions.

Arizona, Arkansas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas –which also confirmed a record daily case increase on Tuesday – each admitted record numbers of infected people to hospital, the Washington Post reported.

California saw record infections, too, with more than 5,000 in a single day for the first time, as Arizona, Nevada and Missouri also reported record case increases.

In Florida, Homestead hospital warned that its intensive care unit was at capacity, NBC reported. Florida confirmed 3,200 new cases on Tuesday, which marked the sixth day of more than 25,000 cases.

They have tested a few of the hand sanitizers available in public places here and five out of twenty one were not sufficient to inactivate the virus! This has been put down to new products on the market that do not have the expertise.....

Yes lots of places are recording increases in cases if one can trust the data but no new threats of lockdowns because governments learned that tax revenue is too aversely affected by this so they caved on what you virus obsessives view as a public health crisis!!

And no one would dare shut down the Black Lives Matter protests even in the complete absence of social distancing!!

Fuck all this nonsense about public health concerns. Government wants it’s cash and is terrified of pissing off the wrong demographic!

Who here dares to tell the BLM movement that in the shadow of this pandemic this is the wrong time to be protesting in public?

No one. Not PC!

To the virus nuts I say you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

A handful of black men have died by the hands of the police this year. About 500 thousand have died of c-19 this year.

Add twice as many who have died of HIV.Add 5 million who have died of starvation because the world doesn’t give a shit in the full attention given to c-19.

But you think those lives DON’T matter!

Be ashamed!

 

This is a repost of an imbellic comment you made earlier!

If you repeat an opinion then it remains an opinion!

If the 5 million you assert have died of starvation this year due to covid-19, then what was the cause of the 5 million who died of starvation last year when there was no covid-19?

Despite shitter's lying assertion that there will be no ICU bed shortage in the states in the US that are peaking at the moment like Florida, Texas and Arizona. It would appear that the only drug treatment proven to reduce the death rates of patients receiving oxygen or in ICU beds or even on ventilators, the steroid dexamethazone is now experiencing record demand!

If you couple this with the fact that the proportion of tests returning positive in these states is now over 25% then you have the makings of a healthcare disaster!

Here in Holland they are already preparing for a second wave in October/November......better safe than sorry!

Highlights
•Wastewater was computationally examined as a matrix for detection of SARS-CoV-2.

•One infected individual theoretically is detectable among 100 to 2,000,000 persons.

•Temperature and in-sewer travel time severely impact virus detectability.

•2.1 billion people could be monitored globally in 105,600 sewage treatment plants.

•Combined use of WBE followed by clinical testing could save billions of US dollars.

Another misdirection of Dr @shootersa was he dismissed any potential long term damage after infection from covid-19!

Scientists are only now coming to terms with what these effects might be!

Scientists just beginning to understand the many health problems caused by COVID-19

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Scientists are only starting to grasp the vast array of health problems caused by the novel coronavirus, some of which may have lingering effects on patients and health systems for years to come, according to doctors and infectious disease experts.

Besides the respiratory issues that leave patients gasping for breath, the virus that causes COVID-19 attacks many organ systems, in some cases causing catastrophic damage.

“We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after the pancreas. It goes after the heart. It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney and other organs. We didn’t appreciate that in the beginning,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.

In addition to respiratory distress, patients with COVID-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes, and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems. The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion.

And recovery can be slow, incomplete and costly, with a huge impact on quality of life.

The broad and diverse manifestations of COVID-19 are somewhat unique, said Dr. Sadiya Khan, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.

This seems a lot for as mild flu!

One thing that has made the virus bad is if you have the virus you cannot ask anyone for help.
Just a day or two a man got into trouble for taking his mask off and saying "I can't breathe".
Now days you can't say that. It is something only a black can say.
I am going to hire a black man to follow me around and interpret when I want to say something.
There are so many words a white man is not allowed to say. I would hate to say something that would cause burning and looting to break out.

 

COVID Numbers Break New Record at Nearly 9,000; Drinking Alcohol Suspended at Bars
By Spectrum News Staff and Anthony Leone Florida
PUBLISHED 10:45 AM ET Jun. 26, 2020 UPDATED 11:19 AM ET Jun. 26, 2020
STATEWIDE — Florida shattered its record of new coronavirus cases by thousands Friday as the state took steps to mitigate the rapid spread of the virus by suspending the drinking of alcohol at bars statewide.

The Florida Department of Health reported Friday that there were 8,942 new positive cases, 39 new deaths and 212 hospitalizations.

Orange County saw the biggest jump yet at 1,062 cases. Polk County came in at 209 cases, while Seminole County was close at 198. Deaths occurred in Orange, Pinellas, and Polk counties, among several others.

As a response to the announcement of the jump in numbers, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending the consumption of alcohol at bars statewide.

As of Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis is still adamant about not shutting the state down or making face coverings mandatory, although local cities and counties have made it mandatory, such as Orange County, St. Petersburg and Tampa.

This is the biggest record yet for the Sunshine state. The health department reported on Wednesday that there were 5,511 cases and Thursday's reported numbers were 5,004. At the time, last Saturday's numbers were a record breaker at 4,049.

AdventHealth doctors say they are seeing hospitalizations at an all-time high, but they are prepared to handle the increase.

"We've got enough personal protective equipment, we have the staff, we have the hindsight in having taken care of COVID patients. So we know what to expect, but of course. We want to do what we can in the community to keep these cases as low as possible," said Dr. Vincent Hsu, the infection control officer at AdventHealth.

AdventHealth says that right now, death rates are not rising rapidly.

Meanwhile, in Hillsborough County Emergency Management said its caseload for the coronavirus has increased by more than 60 percent, and of those, 61 percent of patients are under the age of 35.

Doctors emphasize wearing masks, practicing social distancing, and hand washing are essential in stopping the spread.

 

Fauci is a proper public health specialist!

Listen to him.

Florida, Texas close bars as COVID-19 cases spike


June 26 (UPI) -- Florida and Texas on Friday ordered the closure of bars as infections and hospitalizations from coronavirus spiked.


In Florida, new daily COVID-19 cases ballooned to nearly 9,000 Friday, after seeing a record 5,508 new cases on Thursday. More than 4,700 new COVID-19 patients were admitted to Texas hospitals Thursday, the 14th consecutive day of record-high hospitalizations. Nearly 6,000 new cases were diagnosed, also a record daily high.

The United States registered more than 40,000 new infections in the previous 24 hours, setting a new record for cases in a single day.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order shuttering bars and "similar establishments that receive more than 51 percent of their gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages."

They were required to close at noon Friday, but allowed to remain open for delivery and takeout, including for alcoholic beverages.

Texas bars were initially allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity June 11 as part of Abbott's Phase 3 guidelines for reopening of the state's economy.

Abbott also ordered restaurants to limit dine-in service capacity to no more than 50 percent beginning Monday, while banning most outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people without prior approval from local governments.

The clampdown came after the state's positive test rate surged to 11.7 percent Thursday. Abbott warned earlier this month that a rate of about 10 percent would trigger new restrictions.

"At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars," Abbott said in a statement. "The actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and enhance public health."

Saying he wanted the closures to be "as limited in duration as possible," Abbott reminded Texans they have a "responsibility to themselves and their loved ones to wear a mask, wash their hands, stay 6 feet apart from others in public and stay home if they can."

His actions were seen as a reversal from his stated position on Monday, when he declared that slowing down Texas' economic reopening "will always be the last option."

Halsey Beshears, secretary of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, announced the new restriction in a tweet.

"Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on-premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide," he said.

Beshears added that the order doesn't change current operations for restaurants, and only applies to establishments that derive more than 50 percent of their gross revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Florida is in Phase 2 of its reopening plan, which, until Friday, allowed bars and nightclubs to operate at 50 percent building capacity. Restaurants are also allowed to operate at 75 percent building capacity, with tables spaced at least 6 feet apart.

Despite those allowances, some establishments have closed in recent days due to the rising cases throughout the state.

The U.S. surge is most pronounced in states in the South and West, including Texas, Florida, Arizona and California.

In Arizona, health officials reported more than 3,000 new COVID-19 cases for the fifth time in eight days Friday. The total of 3,428 new infections was the second-highest ever recorded in the state.

Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday implored residents to take more precautions, including staying home except when necessary and wearing face masks in public.

"The rate of the spread of this virus is unacceptable and it is time for us to step up our actions and our personal responsibilities regarding this virus," he said.

We're having the Republican Convention here in town. Bwahahahaha....

 

So, the alarmists are saying that c-19 cases could be 1o times higher than is currently being reported (although I have no idea how that number could even be calculated).

But as a thought experiment, let’s assume that is true.

Doesn’t that also mean that the proportional death rate for this virus is 10 times lower than is presently being reported, so this virus must be much weaker than we thought?

 

That assumes that all deaths due to the virus have been determined............infection is accelerating all over the world but you keep preaching this nonsense from the safety of the Netherlands!
