Media talking heads.

Coronavirus quarantine, travel ban could backfire, experts fear
The coronavirus exposes the history of racism and "cleanliness"

In early February, potential quarantines and travel bans were xenophobic overreactions. The Vox article sums up their attitude at the time the best...the panic is based on "something other than health." Now, nobody is doing enough to stop it. The epitome of Monday morning quarterbacking.

That Politico link is DAF. I could care less if the travel ban pisses Chinese leaders off.

Several things.

1. The use of technology in healthcare. Moving forward during times of disease outbreak (even seasonal flu) you’ll be FaceTiming practitioners to review your symptoms and order prescriptions if necessary. If you get mail order prescriptions you can be treated without leaving your home and exposing more people.

2. You’ll see individual healthcare systems take the lead in active infectious disease protocol rather than taking direction from the CDC, HHS, and WHO. Major academic centers are going to usurp a lot of the space in developing testing and technology. It’s obvious that ineffective leadership just slows down our healthcare capabilities.

3. You’ll likely see the development of a universal informatics monitoring system as well as increased manufacturing capabilities in many healthcare sectors.

We have been doing the first two for a few years now. Some hospitals are just more advanced and better than others throughout the country. We host physicians, CEOs and administrators every month from various regions so they can study our innovative methods and use them to help their patient populations.

As for your 3rd point, that’s a regional organizational thing and as stated before some regions work better than others. I do agree one change may be a renewed interest in keeping companies that produce medical supplies “in America”

Not trying to insult you at all, just tired of hearing people who don’t know what they are talking about saying BS about the virus and it’s effects. This thread will be humorous to read in 5 months

I'm gald you're in the profession of helping people sick and commend you but downplaying this by healthcare workers is very dangerous.

For the stat lovers.

Worldometer is showing zero deaths for ages 0-9. Which is actually kind of hard to believe.

Also, ages 9-39, if you even get infected, then you have 0.2% chance of dying.

So we are cancelling schools for why?

The videos from China had small kids being piled on one tarp. No way they were even 6.

Not downplaying. I just am aware of what the issues are and where and how the virus is affecting us (as Americans) and how healthcare is responding

Not necessarily just medical supplies, but vaccine-producing capabilities especially.

We’ve had the capabilities of the first two for a while, true, but truly utilizing these things is about to reach a whole new level.

I don’t care what you’re trying to do, and I can give you my credentials in private if that’s something you need to know... but when I say this is going to change the healthcare process for good, what I really mean is: it already has. If you want to talk about why, I can walk you through it. If you want to remain a contrarian loudmouth, more power to you I guess.

We’re already seeing changes. Tele-medicine is going to play a much, much larger role in our healthcare moving forward. My hope is that it broadens enough to cover the non-insured population, thus reducing the impacts that particular societal segment has on hospitals, specifically ED’s.

Maybe one of you alarmists can explain something. The flu kills at least 500000+ people a year. Sometimes the mortality rate is very high depending on the strain. So how is Corona 10-15 times deadlier when it hasn’t even killed 5000 people?

You answered your own question. The flu stats you gave are for a year, how many weeks are we into the coronavirus outbreak worldwide?

If you want an actual apples to apples comparison then go find the stats on the initial outbreak of a flu strain we hadn’t seen before, had no treatment or vaccine for, look at the data from the first few weeks of that outbreak and then compare it to Covid-19.

Flu season isn’t year round. The vast majority of deaths from the flu happen over a certain periods.

Dude, why are you trying to reason with them?

The question he posed, based on a premature and obviously incorrect comparison to the flu, has been repeated itt by Trumpsters 20 times already. Their adherence to anti-science and anti-fact theories, to poor and ineffective logic, knows no bounds. Its why Trump appeals to them so much. He mirrors their stupidity right back at them.
