You always bring this up but have denied being a doctor and a sales rep. Go ahead and let us know what part of the medical field you're in so we know whether to take you serious or not. What do you do and are you currently doing it?

Hope you didn't buy into his stats he laid out. Dude left out a lot of info ,which should have been included, to paint an honest picture instead of the scare tactic he chose.

Come on Jack... This isn't like war. Where they can just send somebody else's kid to a far off land. This shit is on the home front. It's gonna effect someone close everyone. No matter wealth, status, political party or race.

Robot removed my prostate. That robot was guided though by a human, like he was playing Xbox. Medical advancements are awesome.

The robot is great as long as the surgeon driving it is competent. I unfortunately have to keep patients asleep for 6 hours for a case that could be finished in 2, either laparoscopically or open.

Just so you know... that's only an average of 300 cases a day. The fact that we're starting to take testing seriously now and the CDC committed to waiving fees for it means the numbers of people actually getting tested for it is about to skyrocket.

I believe there's already 30,000 people carrying / infected in the states already. It takes so long for symptoms to show up and there is such a lack of testing availability that it's not reported correctly.

Why would that happen? This one is unique, and it doesn't involve that.

Ok, you side with the PHD that never has to get into the trenches and treat actual sick people. I side with a well respected clinician who does that every single day. What really SUCKS is that we are actually having this argument.

Yep, the robots are amazing.....but they are still operating on a human being. Gross anatomy, even in an allied health field that I'm in, will humble you. If it didn't, I don't want you treating me for a hangnail.

Exactly what I'm talking abut. The robot, is still treating a human being, no matter who is controlling it. Surgery is an art as much as it is a science. Clinicals are absolutely critical. If we are going into a crisis to cut medical (or any other healthcare field) we need to cut it academically, not clinically.

Absolutely he does not Nor do I. You are trying to inject politics into this. He doesn't play that game and on this I don't either. Anyone who does is the absolute lowest form of life, that obviously includes you. You disgust me.

Asking if your message board friend disagrees with the gov's leading infectious disease physician and point man on the Coronavirus response team is making it political? How tf so? Jesus...

You're the one acting like a sanctimonious douche, btw.

In any thread about anything pertaining to anything in the realm of medicine or healthcare he presents himself as an expert. He lashes out against simple questions instead of reasonably answering. I asked him if he’s a doctor or medical sales rep in an old thread on the poli board and he said no. I’m really curious to what he does that makes him the supreme authority on anything even remotely related to medicine. My first guess is he’s retired at whatever he used to do.

Nope.....and over 60% of cases in the US are confined to 4 urban areas. It is taking countries only 4-5 weeks to contain this illness once significant numbers are affected. There are a lot of factors in play including activity levels, population density, weather and how proactive the community is in prevention. My math still puts us in the 20-25K total cases by summer.

I'd hold off on any predictions of growth until we actually have readily available tests, which won't be fore another two weeks.

It doesn't work that way with real live humans. Health science IS a science, but practicing any health related field is also an art. I would not let a simulation only trained practitioner touch me, ever. You are the one showing ignorance here man. Sorry.

The suspension of school is not a big deal. A lot of medical professionals (doctors specifically) learn very little about truly taking care of patients in the actual school part, whether that's in the books or clinical.

There are a ton of people who don't need a test clamoring to get one. Just like the idiots clearing toilet paper and canned goods off the shelf.......have fun eating all that Chicken of the Sea for the next 3 years.....LOL.....Anyone who meets basic criteria are getting tested and most of those come back negative. I'm all for testing anyone and everyone as soon as we can get ramped up to do it and keeping everyone at home for the next few weeks. The sooner we can contain this the better.

AL finally welcomed its first case

For every 100 people that want to get tested, i'd wager at least 1 is infected at this point. Being conservative and saying there's only 1% of the country that is clamoring for being tested themselves, let's do some quick maths.

300,000,000 * 1% * 1% = 30,000

That's just being super conservative. This shit has hit New York man. Even if it only has .1% of the NY metro... that's 20,000. You're woefully underestimating this.

Dude.....currently 95 people in NYC have confirmed coronavirus......that's .0012% of the population and two orders of magnitude away from your anally extracted numbers.....go eat your tunafish**

You keep missing the fact that we can't / aren't testing everyone that should and could be tested. There's 95 confirmed cases. How many more are unable to be tested? That's the key ingredient you are missing. You're trusting that we have the capability to test everyone that has it right now. We don't. We've admitted we don't. It will be at best two weeks before we can.

Just curious, what good is all your panicking and worrying doing anybody? Take the steps you feel comfortable with to keep safe and chill out. Worry and panic accomplishes nothing

Why do you take his posts as panicking. He's stating facts concerning how vastly the testing has been screwed up and we don't have a true idea of how many people are infected.

You can never completely rule out something like that though, depending on how far panic spreads to other financial markets. Doesn’t matter if it makes sense or not, panics throw rationality out the window. What most people don’t realize is how totally effed up financial markets have been for the last twelve years, so it’s not impossible those markets could start to implode and spread panic everywhere. I don’t see that happening, but man, have you seen what’s happening to bank stock prices the last few days?

More fear mongering from a panic person. Congrats.

You are obviously panicking. Every post you make on this screams it.
