It’s more just a straight up failure of imagination. I don’t think it ever entered anybody’s mind that something like this could ever be so widespread. It’s easy to second guess, but it’s impossible and paralyzing to prepare for something that nobody thinks is possible.

Record your meetings if that's the issue.

I get recording meetings, but the accusation will still always be there, despite whether it's completely dis-proven. It'll still linger on and everyone will look at you differently for it.

I would just rather avoid confrontations with females at work altogether unless in a wide-open public space with multiple possible witnesses. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in today's day and age, you can never be too cautious.

It's absurd to accuse anyone of being narrow minded when you can't so much as be alone with a woman who isn't your wife. Can you not have a female doctor? How about a female friend?

The particular female doctor that does see me on the very rare occasion I go to the doctor, always has a third party in the exam room.

Never said I couldn't be alone with a woman not my wife. I have female friends. It's a different dynamic when you have a wife. It's a life choice. I choose to not be out with other women having a drink or dinner when my wife is at home. Has nothing to do with sex, or being scared I'm a predator. IMO, it's more open minded to be able to see different applications of a situation and choose your way. Close minded is thinking someone else's way is inferior to yours.

The highest coronavirus infection rate on the planet is in Italy at 0.06% of it's population. Gavin Newsom projects 56% of Californians will have it within two months. The media ran with it without questioning how he came to that conclusion. 🤔🙄

It is like a bad dream you can't awake from. Pols are now in a pissing contest to worst predictions.

Wake up people.

I never accused myself of being open minded.

A meme of FDR. How appropriate in the situation we have. In the panic of the Great Depression, he stole all the gold from the people and made it gov't owned, and illegal for the general public.

They're saying this is supposed to last through several waves. Does that mean waves like the 2nd wave of the Spanish Flu? If so wouldn't it be better to get it and build immunity up asap?

People believe it's bad enough to shut down the nations economy. Seems like people are already operating, not just believing, on some extremes.

This.

I love the supporters of this strategy putting limits on behavior extremes. At this point, looks like all options on the table.

I've heard some discussions of that concern. Apparently it mutates over time, as most viruses do, but If it gets worse, I'm not sure anyone can say.

Personally, I imagine it will be a natural selection type evolution, where the mutations that can endure, will.

Saturation numbers are affected by so many factors.
I haven't heard of a new procedure but I know this virus can bring on a V/Q mismatch. Which will give you lower saturation. If that's an issue we trend ABGs because it indicated. If they continue to trend down then venting them to control amount and pressures of O2 delivered is warranted.
Then you start testing to R/O causes. Are you possibly taking about VDR ventilation or ECMO?

Really no way to know. Lifes is risk. Our death march begins as soon as you start.

So you're saying there's a chance then that flattening the curve may in fact be unwise as it could leave a larger part of the population completely vulnerable to a potentially deadlier wave?

Meat for the soup - It is now being reported that several senators sold stocks after being briefed on likely scenarios of the accelerating spread of the coronavirus. North Carolina Senator Richard Burr (R) has been noted for his expedient sale of $1.7million in stock. His entire activity was selling, in stark contrast to prior normal buy/sell activity. His case is egregious, but he's not alone, and insider trading by senators is not a new phenomenon. Even Fox News has a report on this story, .
