    I ran a few of the rules they specifically called out by my DH who is an internist. He's going to have to take care of many of these patients (unlike moi). For instance, waiving Medicare's 3-day hospitalization rule before transferring someone to a nursing facility. This rule has been the bane...

    That sure would be a possibility! Although can anyone really just run into that store and grab a few things? It's like going on an expedition, it wears me out. I have to come home and rest. :crazy2: Maybe a sick person wouldn't be up to the task! Although the headline is unnecessarily...

    I agree, but I think that's going to change. In the last week, the CDC & FDA has lightened up their restrictions on both labs & indications for testing, allowing more people to be tested. Today, Trump has added to that an array of private companies such as Roche to provide tests and Walmart to...

    At this point, I honestly don't think it's fear-mongering. And this is why. I have worked in, and until very recently was on the board (including being board chair) of a of a medium-sized hospital. This has the potential to bring our healthcare system to its knees, and then other people who...

    Well, sparsely populated states also have no people to test. ;) But yes, I do feel pretty safe out here in big sky country. It does help to not be crowded together and have no mass transit. The vast majority of people live in single family homes. Even in a relatively bad flu year like this one...

    It's too late for that. The calls are coming from inside the house now. Maybe even from inside the Mouse House.

    Well, I've been posting on this thread for a little while, and it's a complicated issue with many variables. If you are really interested, just scroll back and read what I've written. And there was a thread on the Disney Cruise Line that is even older than this one, a lot of my initial posting...

    Both. I feel very confident in saying this will outstrip H1N1 in number of deaths by the time it is through.

    Yes, and I'm sure they're all haunted by the fact that the 1918 flu epidemic ripped through Army barracks like wildfire, and then those men spread it all around the world. Dorms are worse than cruise ships. It would be a nightmare. Nope. Nothing like this has happened in the memory of any...

    Thank you for posting, I think it really helps to hear it from someone who's there. And I agree with you, after I went through and really looked at what he did, it really is nothing. It's grandstanding, and very disappointing. They do need to do more, but there's no political will to do it. But...

    I agree, but I also think our litigiousness is going to help us fight this virus. I'm glad these corporations are over-reacting, and if it takes some ambulance-chasers to do it, well, so be it.

    I think he's dong a great job. I am however, worried that DeBlasio will not be quite so on top of things and will wait too long in NYC to shut things down. After what I heard at his press conference, I honestly think that should be done very soon. New Rochelle is joined to NYC at the hip. I...

    As they roll out a much greater testing capacity across the US, a great many cases will be uncovered. So I hope the authorities don't over-react (though there's no evidence of that happening right now, lol) but it's something to keep in mind. If you start looking for something, that's when you...

    This could change, and quickly. Westchester county happens to be the center of an outbreak, just like the eastern Seattle suburbs were. It's just luck (bad luck in this case). If the virus gets a toehold in NYC, things will change there almost overnight. It's good that people are being...

    The daughter had been in Milan as well as having symptoms, that's why they quarantined the whole family. It's what we call "pre-test probability". Hers was very high (symptoms and a recent trip to Italy) and the family should have stayed home while the test was being performed. No different than...

    All of those things make a huge difference. I'm really glad people are listening about things like that. That's awesome. :thumbsup2 I just really want the parks to stay open. They're mostly outdoors, maybe they could consider closing a few attractions that necessarily crowd people, but I guess...

    This is why we can't have nice things. :sad2: I don't know if people should be given ankle bracelets over things like this, but I know they can be. A few people need to be spanked so that others won't follow in their footsteps.

    Yes. I think this virus is behaving differently here. I don't think it likes suburbia. China, and even Italy are really different from the US- we do social distancing naturally. And maybe they got a worse strain of the virus (along with Iran). We have lots of space per person and I think that...
