Hospitals Overwhelmed As Coronavirus Cases Surpass 100,000 In US | TODAY
I am staying inside my condo to help medical teams.
Even angels need us to be responsible.
level Joe I’m certainly avoiding people I haven’t gone anywhere in days.
danieljliversLXXXIX yes it will.
@James Wilson
The mothers & fathers of 21st Century “soldiers” are facing the challenges of this new world’s war.
Those who fight the virus to protect the public are soldiers, martyrs, & angels.
They’re efforts and sacrifices will never be forgotten . . .
🙏
@Jay Black thank you x
@danieljliversLXXXIX You don’t know wth you’re talking about
We’re going to be seeing in the coming months if the US has enough resources to combat against the Coronavirus. Good luck to all the medical professionals and everyone else on the front lines.
You kids have no idea what America is capable of , the Nazis the Japanese both underestimated our will
We could have won in Korea and Vietnam except for there was no political backbone , the president has energized Private industry
We will prevail
@Mike N source?
@Mike N
What is this has to do with Trump? It all started from the days of Clinton and exporting all manufacturing to China and if anything Trump was wrestling with China about that.Not that he is my cousin,but this is the situation in most countries that has been exporting thier manufacturing to China.
@Dustin Mock – http://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/ report 12. Team led by Prof Ferguson, who is the world’s leading pandemic transmission modeller. This report is the basis of planning for all govts ex US.
@Maan Mohammad – it is everything to do with Trump’s failed response. The worst case scenario is 1.5M dead in the US. This could be cut to 60000, but it’s looking increasingly unlikely. We are only at the start of a geometric growth of infection. People don’t understand the power of geometric growth, how the US could be at 1M next week.
They say hospitals are struggling but they laying people off to.
They are, I work at one.
@Cory S They should send them wear there needed now.
Because hospitals are empty.
I’m an RN in Pittsburgh and I’m working 16 hour days. We don’t have enough workers.
Only in certain health departments that are not critical and have nothing to do with covid 19.
I can only imagine how much treatment costs for the survivors.
@L. B. our healthcare here is garbage
@l l if you’re not full native american, stfu
Once you hit the icu it goes through the roof
@Clare Keys >30 days on a respirator.
Not with COVID. Doctors are saying if they still need to be a ventilated after 5 days it is almost a done deal which they call “a very poor outcome.” Ventilators only buy you some time. If patients don’t get better and fight off the virus in a few days it means a mutli-organ viral assault and multiple organ failure most likely.
@awesomeguynamedjon Really I thought the test was $40. at the drive through?
“infectious energy” huh geez lady wrong choice of words much
Yeah how dare she speak from the heart about her brother who died and little sensitive people sitting on their lounge get butt hurt over it .
She was a paid actor that’s why
Bruh..
@j r yessir you know what’s up
It doesn’t really matter.
*as a person with social anxiety self quarantine is 👌 it’s not that hard to stay in ur house and entertain urself*
Clown comments True, but like having social anxiety usually means you don’t have too many friends to play with which sucks :/
Last time I played with friends was like 8th grade 6 years ago for me
I am an introvert and I love staying at home. The thing is “home” for me is my tiny room in the basement with no natural light and barely a window. It’s in a whole new level to be quarantined in a room like that. if I had had a house, I think I would have enjoyed my quarantine more. Being stuck in such a small space with no natural light is starting affect my mental health a lot
Jordan Caraballo yeah I have like 2 friends
I use animal crossing I have like 20 hours in 2.5 days
CadoExe ya, I have chronic pain and getting around is difficult, so this is just my normal except I miss time with my family. That’s it. My world has gotten alot smaller since being diagnosed, but I understand how people are having a difficult time adjusting. I have a reason why I must stay home. I hope everyone can think of someone that they love, and that then changes their minds to shelter in place. Peace
This whole thing is so crazy man
My anti social self has been quarantine all this time
@Jake Ward Please don’t think that, I’m full of love, really. But mostly I love good grammar ; )
@WWE News HD I never said ‘has been’ is not correct. I’m stating ‘was’ is incorrect based on the context.
@MicAarZur lol gotem

@MicAarZur tu86gv
Can we get ventilators from Toyota/lexus or honda ?? Everything from GM falls apart
Laugh, nicely played
I wonder and worry for the homeless if they dont have ID’s how will they get help to get $😔i worry for them also
@Zeldas Place Why didn’t you help your friend before the pandemic?
@Veronica C. cuz im a canadian and i i had a bussines i would of.
Hopefully the majority of them drop dead. Where I live they are not only rude but very aggressive. Those bums are the last to be worried about, think about the nurses and people who actually want to work.
@Peter K all homeless people are not bad and you might get sick yourself watch your words
Zeldas Place Praying for them like a warrior in Jesus mighty name as well as the world let us all stay in prayer in the season🙏🏾💯🙏🏾
Be careful everyone, in my area we’ve had a lot of people in their eighties die from this
@Sirioslee will it eventually become just another annual coronavirus? Yes, we already have several endemic to the population. They do present themselves as colds/ the flu. But this is its first run through the human population. We haven’t had a chance to develop vaccines or become immunized through exposure. And it’s the only one which attacks lungs, since sars was successfully contained. This is very serious
Im 72, healthy, but I worry too. Anyway, it’s been a good run! Very interesting!
@Sirioslee Fauci has said OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THIS VIRUS IS ATLEAST TEN TIMES MORE LETHAL THAN THE FLU. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT MORON AND QUIT SPREADING MISINFORMATION.YOU PEOPLE ARE A PLAGUE.
@Hollowfist90 facts? any sources out there saying that this is just the seasonal flu and not something else? good luck fighting off this “flu” when you get it.
Wendy S. King doesn’t matter if you are healthy ma’am .. your immune system weakens as you get older
We in Europe is in the middle of it. Yours in US just started, believe me this are getting worse on your continent .
We have ignorant Republicans, it’s will be way worse than China or Italy.
@Russ.Castella okay got you 😁😁
@Katta Wakai No time for TDS Kaka.
@Russ.Castella stay save man
@Zach Dancy I am in Fresno California, those corona virus patients still 10 for a week now.
That’s a young nurse who died… scary he looked like a healthy young person
He was 48 and had severe asthma
She did say he had a very infectious energy…
@Ray Johnson there is no scientific basis on this, please, only spread facts, not rumors.
Ml
@Jelmer Kalff #Facts have come from sufferers that ibuprofen worsened their condition but WHEN THEY STOPPED & TOOK NATURAL REMEDIES they got better.
Dont open the US too soon!!! We ALL know how dangerous that is. Yes, quarantine life sucks but I’d rather us do our best to knock this out!!!!
TMHGOD/CREATOR, SUPERNATURALLY TRAVELS, WHEREVER HE INTENDS ON HIS LAND.
HE IS THE SPREADER🤔
@Stephen how much is the economy going to matter if everyone dies? look, if you want to benefit economically from this, the thing you need to do right now is _stay home_ and _let it pass._ people are not going to stop having an economy just because there’s a virus for a while. read up on the european renaissance and exactly what the economic conditions were that started that (hint: it was literally the black death killing off a third of the european population, freeing resources for a class of economic innovators). there’s about to be a whole new world, and if you’re still thinking in 2019 economic terms, you’re going to end up _way_ behind the curve.
@Anders Ottosen so if trump failed did the whole world fail??? I know the answer because my heart ain’t full of hate except for BS.
@Alexander The Great haha you racist
@zEropoint68 omg dude not everybody is going to die you sheep. Unless you drink fish tank cleaner.
The government was too late to lockdown every boarders and flight from other countries.
Well actually he tried to make sure there was border’s and people weren’t coming here as they please. But you people called him a racist…..
It is always easier to complete that pass on Monday morning than it is on Sunday afternoon. It helps to know the plays ahead of time.
You are exactly right SMH!
Lock down the county suspend rent for 2 month’s give food vouchers to ppl and no one goes anywhere
That’d be smart though, and would cost our billionaires, we know we can’t have that. Better just talk about filling churches by Easter lol
Stellar Que yes absolutely
I need to collect rent to pay my property taxes, utilities, maintenance etc..
I agree ..stay safe america
@Drastic Change your renters can’t work either so both yalls bills will have to wait
one month rent should pay your property tax for a year
‘infectious energy’. That an unfortunate slip of the tongue
For the first time, we can actually save the world by staying on our couches at home and watching TV. Let’s at least not screw this up!!
Yea while grocery employees keep working and get sick from y’all🙄
@Kaeben, Your point of view is different. Is it weird to admit that it made me smiled? 😅
However I agree, let’s not screw it up!!
Kaeben why not question it cause I have found no one with this virus and if they do get it , just a common cold. Why would they shut down the country on less then 1000 deaths and for influenza over 20,000 and they never even thought about it. Why do they need to move tanks and combat vehicles all over our country to help fight a virus they gonna shoot it with a tank?
You that’s against patient confidentiality to record them a doctor would not do that they could loose their job.
Liars
General Motors gets bail out and price gouges ventilators.
“He just had this infectious energy….” poor choice of words lady.
