Can someone refute these numbers?

No that's correct...new cases dropped too...will need to see if it being Sunday might account for lack of updates

They appear to be correct so that would make LG 800 off for the day.

The majority of the ones needing vents also made poor life choices which Led to the underlying condition.

Many of us have made "poor life choices". You go ahead and throw that first stone. I certainly can't.

I'd hate to be the ICU physician with 3 critical patients, and one ventilator. At that point, there is no "good life choice", is there?

That would be an insane drop. Given the state of this I cant see someone just not getting numbers in because it is Sunday.

Most of those people are just too scared to be sued. The left knows if they can collapse the economy they win in November and for some reason Trump is being a dumbass and playing along

So, people aren't dying in fairly high numbers in other countries?

The tub of lard can't dunk like Lew Alcindor.

I don’t like Trump but this is totally unfair. He doesn’t even play basketball.

Just doing a quick visual, once Italy topped 500 deaths per day, I dont see a day where they dropped by almost half on any given day.

I was replying back to the poster talking about not letting people that don’t do social distancing have a vent while he was willing to overlook all the poor choices other patients had made.

Ahhh....then I extend my apology for thinking it was something else.

our moms can go before the store opens unless there are a lot of 60+ year old spring breakers I don’t know about.

You mean those spring breakers stocking shelves.

He was an All-American in basketball.

The transmission rate from inanimate objects is low..... if you wash your hands after shopping before touching your mouth inside your nose or eyes then you shouldn’t have any issue at all.

TRUMP: `THE PEOPLE`S BILLIONAIRE`

''Even if the world goes to hell in a handbasket,'' he reflects, ''I won`t lose a penny.''

The zoomer who went to alternative spring break in FL to help the homeless but came back with corona and infected old people at her church and is now needing a ventilator
or
The Peeping Tom who practiced social distancing by spying with a spotting scope but got infected by a careless takeout driver and is clinging to life.

Could be some fascinating moral decisions in the near future.

Ok Volnation. I’m on here waayyy more than my posts show. But here we go...

Here’s a conundrum for you. My dad is almost 88. Mom is 81. Both with history of respiratory issues. Anyway, Dad has been the medical director of a local nursing home for the last 47 years and is still working there 20hrs a week. It’s his life calling. He refuses to stay home despite the current situation. Our county in NY just surpassed 300 cases. I’ve asked him to take a week or two “off” to see how things play out, but he won’t listen.

What do I do? Understand this is what it is and he understands and let things go? Or push to get him to stay at home??
