BREAKING NEWS MSNBC: A hospital in NY is now priorotizing who gets a ventilator. THIS IS SAD AND SCARY!!!!! 1:45 PM EST USA. Patients are alone without loved ones.
Oklahoma City was talking about designating only one hospital for Corona virus patients. I need to check and see if that happened. That seems like a smart way to do it.
A friend took another friend in in for cancer treatment but had to wait in the parking garage because only patients can go in. Volunteers knocked on the car window and offered him water and a sandwich. The volunteers were in protective garb. We may be sparsely populated enough to survive better than most places.
My heart aches for the people that are not.
America is now officially a banana republic. A crashing empire.
Death sentence without representation. For real this time, unlike the garbage Republicans tried to use to squash the ACA.
Gov Cuomo tried to address this at his briefing thia morning-hospitals need to work together. "Between the lines" is the fact that private entities don't work together and the legal / regulatory system is set up to keep things that way. Bo mention of the words nationalize, or universal, but I'm sure news sites on both ends of the spectrum will be screaming about it soon
This is extremely scary, for the patients as well as for everyone else.
This is on trump and the people running him. We KNEW this was coming and he did NOTHING.
I am calling it the trump virus now.
