Dozens of Florida hospitals out of available ICU beds, state data shows

The numbers say they are not dying. If any of the bias media have courage to even post the numbers.

FFS. It isn't CT. Stay safe. I mean that.
 
Thank heavens for that or Florida would have had a much higher number of dead senior citizens.

You are delusional. NY has the virus under control and we are just getting started. Florida is like NY in April. Unless we shut down completely like NY did Florida will surpass NY in deaths by election day. We are not alone either. Hmm how many Red States are in this list? I thought Republican Governors were the heroes who would not go along with the commie plot to destroy our economy? Now us lucky residents are are the whole worlds hot spot for Covid 19 and the world saying why can't we just string up Trump for mass murder.

I have no problem staying safe. I am responsible along with all my friends that have been working since this started without any problem. Well other than the democrats destroying our economy.
 
Safety measure were provided along with choice. That is part of living in a free country.

So you either lied or pulled something out of your bottom when you claimed safety measures were adhered to in your previous post? Thanks for admitting it.

And what do you think pricks like trump and his supporters who've belittled social distancing and other cautionary measures are going to do?

Hint: It's not going to be wearing masks or sitting 6 feet apart.

i have also been working onsite since like three weeks in. take it seriously, and stay responsible like you have been. i'll straight up say it. as a scientist, i'm ****ing scared of this one.
 
It is getting scary. It could have been avoided too. There were examples from all around the world about what to do, and more importantly what not to do.

I just hope the severe cases they get in places like Arizona, Texas and Florida are spread out enough to keep ICU beds in supply. But this is going to become too much for the healthcare workers. Did no one in these states hear the health workers in New York?

This is going to be the legacy of Trump and many Governors.
Years from now people will look back on why things got so bad in the U.S. compared to other first world countries. When they read about this period in American history, certain names will be featured prominently, and it won't be in a good way.

Is that why we rationed everything during WWII? Because we were a "free country"? National emergencies require suspensions of "rights" for the good of the country. Is wearing a mask too much to ask to do for your country? Are you that spoiled rotten?
 
There are five International airports in New York State. A state government does not have the authority to ban all International incoming flights. The State Department is the only government agency that is legally able to ban International flights. Remember, back in the end of February and beginning of March, the WHO didn't even know where it was coming from.

On April 24th Governor Andrew Cuomo pointed to research showing that strains of the novel coronavirus entered his state from Europe, not China, and said that travel bans for people coming from China enacted by Trump were too late to halt its spread.




Donald Trump himself bans international flights from Europe. At least that is how the media phrases it. "Trump bans travel from the EU to the United States" or something like that. I guess he orders the State Department to enforce such a ban but have not read any executive orders. If this is true, not only are all five international airports in New York affected, but so is EWR (Newark Liberty International Airport), which serves the New York City area.

Actually, Closing down international Flights is not what really happened.

Thus the hard hit states of New York, New Jursey, Michigan, Washington and California back in February, March and April.



President Trump started implementing U.S. travel restrictions from China on February 2.


 Detroit Metro Airport is one of only two Midwest airports with flights from China and Europe after Trump’s travel bans.

Detroit Metropolitan airport is a huge airport with a lot of domestic and international travel.

Guess what ? One of the first two persons identified with Covid had been in our airport on March 1st before they tested positive.


From Homeland Security:



Effective Sunday, February 2nd at 5:00 PM EST, Americans flying to the United States from China will be re-routed to the following airports at no cost to the traveler:

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Illinois
San Francisco International Airport (SFO), California
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Washington
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Hawaii
Los Angeles International Airport, (LAX), California
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Georgia
Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), Virginia

Effective at 6:30 AM EST on Monday, February 3rd, this list of airports is expanded to include:

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), New Jersey

Effective at 7:30 AM EST on Monday, February 3rd, this list of airports is expanded to include:

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Texas

Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), Michigan

Do you only care about the death count and not how many people get sick?
 
You wrote quite a paragraph here, my Pi! Well laid out.

Exactly! What did they learn from those of us that suffered? Between me, my wife, and my kids, we had four people that we interacted with physically IRL that we lost! One was a longtime trusted family advisor. And some others got sick & tested positive, including three hospitalized that luckily made it back out.

So just what were they (in these states) thinking? This is fun & games? A show?

And now, my city had to ban them from coming here - unless they immediately self-quarantine. Unbelievable. They had it beat. Now we can't let them in or do personal business with them.

Yeah. Exactly. But these were healthcare workers. Who would think it would ever come to this in America?

We had one nurse friend who had to home-quarantine due to Covid contact at work. She literally spent the entire two weeks making home-made PPE for herself & her nurse friends. She didn't come up positive, and that damn girl went straight back to work! In a Covid infested nursing home! Where other workers were getting sick! Even sent her kid to live with the relatives.

The heroic personal stories we saw and heard of could fill a book! But my God, they are awe inspiring. Beyond inspiring. I've found a newfound awe in the strength of the human spirit, watching our healthcare workers & first responders. Heroes. Each & every one of them.

Not just healthcare workers but those who raise funds to help them. Like this amazing gentleman, 100 years of age, raised £32 million for NHS workers...

You have comprehension problems evidently. Try reading the word "provided" in my post after you pull your head out of your backside.
 
Dozens of Florida hospitals out of available ICU beds, state data shows - Reuters

(Reuters) - More than four dozen hospitals in Florida reported that their intensive care units (ICUs) have reached full capacity on Tuesday as COVID-19 cases surge in the state and throughout the country.

Hospital ICUs were full at 54 hospitals across 25 of Florida’s 67 counties, according to data published on Tuesday morning by the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration. More than 300 hospitals were included in the report, but not all had adult ICUs.
=============================================================
That's where you wind up if you have a Republican governor.
Thoughts & Prayers to Florida.
 
i have also been working onsite since like three weeks in. take it seriously, and stay responsible like you have been. i'll straight up say it. as a scientist, i'm ****ing scared of this one.

Well luckily you are not putting you life in the hands of governors like mine here in PA who think sending infected patients back to crowded nursing homes is OK unless he wanted to kill off lots of our elderly.

I have been an essential worker since March, and have been the one going into stores. The militant maskless piss me off.

Nobody was forced to go the rally. I have yet to see a report showing how many people were infected as result of the rally. I have seen and heard nothing but lies and speculation as well as the worst twisting of the fact from our media and government in my life. People could not got parks or the beach because of social distancing then the same lying pieces of crap claim being in large crowds is perfectly safe if you are protesting. Which is it?
 
Vesper's number to non-covid ICU cases may be closer to reality than you think, because even this guesstimating doom-and-gloom website has to admit that Florida is far from reaching its ICU bed capacity because of COVID.

"Florida has about 6,115 ICU beds. Based on best available data, we estimate that 57% (3,480) are currently occupied by non-COVID patients. Of the 2,635 ICU beds remaining, we estimate 1,021 are needed by COVID cases, or 39% of available beds. This suggests there is likely enough capacity to absorb a wave of new COVID infections."

Covid Act Now

So...nothing to worry about. Carry on.

I shop every day for a lot of elderly mostly family members and friends that are elderly or at risk. My mom used to take them or go for them but since this started I have been doing it. I am temporarily off work because I need a hip replacement. However the plumbing supply I worked for as well as all the plumbers who are my good friends have been working every day since this started without incident. The only reason to shut down was to put proper safety measures into place. That has already been proven by all my friends and coworkers as well as grocery stores etc. But we are going to destroy our economy because the left cannot understand being responsible. Their idea of responsible is protesting in large crowds by the millions all across this country spreading this disease but they cannot go to work for fear of the same disease. Talk about being full of it.

I hope that your hip replacement goes as well as possible. As for gathering in crowds during a pandemic, I don't support it.
 
Far too many people are measuring this by its mortality rate (which is pretty high), thinking the if you do not die from CV then you are fine. That is a recklessly ignorant position to be taking.

:applaud

That myth has already been debunked.

By allowing the pandemic to spread, trump is causing responsible people to stay home more and spend less. This hurts the economic recovery needed to get people such as you back to full employment.
