The US Army built two 1000 bed hospitals and sent a ship with 900 hospital beds. Please don't try to defend a guy who probably cause 1000's of deaths.Quote:

Do you really think hospitals around here were keeping patients just to quarantine them? What do you think other hospitals were doing with nursing home patients?Quote:

I think Jack is talking about the ones that died. They probably should've been in a hospital at some point but doesn't seem like they were or were allowed to be. And to be perfectly honest ... those folks were probably someone's grandpa or grandma.Quote:

Were people from nursing homes denied hospitalization when it was necessary? Everything I read on this is vague and doesn't give details.Quote:

It seems most of the LTC patients here in my part of MS that die from Coronavirus are dying in the LTC. I don't remember seeing that much with other things.Quote:

My dad was moved to the hospital immediately upon testing positive. Within 6 hours, the State contacted us as well. Hospital has him on zinc, Vitamins C & D, and Panquil.Quote:

We had a situation where a nursing home was refusing to take patients back, and the hospital told them needed to come pick the patients up. They came and got them. I'm not sure if they had 2 negative COVID tests yet. I'm just wondering if the Cuomo situation was similar.Quote:

He's only about 3 days in and ok but it takes about a week for it to hit. I don't expect him to survive. He's had heart surgery, is diabetic, and they found a mass in his lungs when doing his chest X-ray. But I'm ok with it. Just hope it goes fast. He's been suffering for years with Alzheimer's, so this stuff is nothing. None of this stuff is worse than Alzheimer's, Nothing is.Quote:

Man sorry to hear that. I agree on the Alzheimer's my father in law passed away 2 weeks ago and he's been suffering with it. Terrible, horrible disease! I'll be praying for him.Quote:

Looks like Illinois is becoming new hot spot
Yeah 40% of all cases and 46% of all deaths are in 3 states, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.Quote:

It further breaks it down...
48.5% had 3 or more illnesses
25.6% had 2 other illnesses
25.1% had 1 other illness
0.8% had no other illness
Median age of deaths was 80.5

This is why it's hard to understand who died of covid and who died with covid. I don't think we'll ever really know how many actually died because of covid. Big difference.Quote:

And Cuomo is blaming that on Trump's/CDC guidance SMDH. Not sure how CDC and Trump necessarily get lumped together all the time. But I do wonder if Cuomo forgot about those mobile hospitals and that hospital ship Trump sent up there just like he forgot about how he said he needed thousands of ventilators while putting the 2000 Trump sent him into storage cause "they weren't needed yet". His words not mine. And they never were needed either.Quote:
