This stuff is tragic. Some of the richest institutions taking it out on non-revenue athletes.

Look dude, put up or shut up. You made a scary comment about ventilators that you have no support for. Provide the source.

Right, hospitals are busy. I specifically asked about his vent comments ("decide who to give vents to") which it turns out he doesn't have a source because it's not true. I have seen no indication that vents are short.

Source for your vent comments?

Bloomington has always seemed to be 1/2 cosmopolitan and 1/2 hillbilly. It's a strange mix.

Not deflecting. Just didn’t see you critically analyze the “hydroxy is bad” studies.

Just curious. Did you do the same analysis of the "hydroxy is bad" studies?

Yeah, you're right. A study shows a $5 pill may help. How sad. Stop yourself.

Interesting. Maybe it does work. https://www.henryford.com/news/2020/07/hydro-treatment-study https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30534-8/fulltext

Simple stating half the story in a shocking headline is not informing the public. Comparing normal capacity to current capacity changes the headline. If the hospital normally runs at 80% ICU capacity, and is currently at 80% capacity there is no "news."

That's the thing when the media reports on ICU capacity -- what is it normally? Have to compare it to something, but then it wouldn't be as "scary."

Hospitals say they got it. http://www.memorialhermann.org/news/joint-statement-from-st--luke’s-health,-houston-methodist,-memorial-hermann-health-system---texas-children’s-hospital-regarding-houston-hospital-capacity-and-executive-order/

Does that usually come after "hold my beer"? :)

I am skeptical of that number -- 10x. I had an antibody test. The way it was explained to me was that it looks for a general corona virus. Then, because this covid one has been the only one going around, they "assume" you got it. Who knows at this point.

Yeah. We had a bunch of employees who tested negative. We did have one who tested positive with no symptoms.
