Md. Gov. Larry Hogan issues ‘stay at home’ order

[Goldenhawk]

Replying to my self: a "see I told you so".

...
Finally, please recognize that Maryland's best current prediction is that we'll be about 1300 hospital beds and 500+ ICU beds short by the end of April. In fact, the ICU beds will all be full by about next week. That's going to happen no matter what the distancing can do, because it's a function of already-infected people. So if anytime in the next couple months you or a loved one get in an accident, or have a heart attack or stroke, you're screwed, because every hospital bed will be full. Italy and New York City are already there - just look it up on Google News etc. They've got beds lining the hallways and people are not getting treated because there simply aren't enough medical devices.

Hospitals in NYC are starting to refuse patients in life-or-death situations now.

Grim New Rules for NYC Paramedics: Don't Bring Cardiac Arrests to ER for Revival

As the coronavirus stretches New York City emergency rooms and paramedics to their limits, a regional EMT group has issued new guidelines almost unthinkable even days ago — if someone’s in cardiac arrest and you can’t revive them in the field, don’t bring them to the emergency room. The newly...

So please do your part and obey the shelter-in-place rules. Stop the spread before we end up there too.

You know, this just hit me. Avoiding catching Covid isn't nearly as much fun as avoiding catching an STD was.

If YOU obey the Stay At Home laws, you don't have to worry about anyone else because you won't encounter them.

How about this... If you are old, infirm, immune compromised, already sick, dealing with diabetes, cancer, or anyother illness, that would stress, your immune system, please, stay the fck at home! The rest of us normal and healthy people, will do the fck as we please.

As someone who is medium-high risk (cancer survivor, borderline diabetic, asthma and other things I've survived that have battered the immune system...as well as being 63), have found my usual measures against catching flu are likely working. I'm pretty much a homebody anyway, even before this only went to work, doctor's appointments and grocery/necessities shopping. Have long avoided unnecessary physical contact. I don't really miss the once or twice a month Anita and I would go out to a movie or dinner.

Other folks want to be out and about more than me, more power to 'em.

Have you ever gone nowhere? Never left your house for awhile? Interacted with no one, or where people have been, in the fall or winter, and still caught a cold? Or the flu? If so, it's because coronavirus' are zoonotic. That means if you went outside your home, walking around, doing yard work, or whatever, you picked up that cold, or flu, from the area wildlife. It also means that you had a suppressed immune system. Get educated people. (not meant to be focused at you @spr1975wshs).

I have almost enough barn wood to finish another wall in my garage so I don’t need to leave my house this weekend at all. BUT, if I choose to leave my home to pick up some more materials for my project, I shall leave my home.

I go to 3-4 different jobsites six days a week, I stop in at the local grocery store like normal and stop a few times daily for soda and a snack at the local service stations and towelhead bobs store on the way home. The plants im in are running full speed three shifts a day. The only difference is they all have employees doing nothing but cleaning where people touch, turn, cook, walk, sit and micro meals. None of my peeps are sick and I only know of one person out here testing positive, and that was at a local distribution center.
It can be almost normal if you want it to be.

whom ever it is, they are trying to hide by using a different prose, give it time .. the true nature will reveal itself.

Glad they're not doing that here.

It'd take forever to get my boxers adjusted back to comfortable.

No worries, did not take it personal.

The animal to human jump is similar to getting Toxoplasmosis from an infected cat, though that's a parasite rather than a virus.

This kinda reminds me of what might be coming if Americans, Marylander's, do not engage, daily, in massive acts of civil disobedience, and go about their normal lives as they before all this BS faux virus started. So go out and live as you used to. To hell with government edicts. Or maybe, we will become the next Germany?


"When we decide that certain individuals no longer have value, then what is to stop us from deciding that other individuals have no value either (elderly, disabled, minorities, et al)? Who gets to make that decision? When we have reached the conclusion that certain individuals have no value, then it becomes perfectly acceptable to demand their sacrifice for the benefit of another. This is the root assumption of collectivism/statism. This is tyranny!"

 

[Louise]

I feel sorry for members who are bashing other members. That is easy to do with no personal contact with humans because of social media. I am glad I joined here. Definitely, puts things into perspective Of what people are up against I think it is worse than the current virus that is supposedly plaguing our country. Sad.
