ndv Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 This is just plain stupid. I am beginning to get really agitated with all of this lockdown covid crap. Houston has now closed bars/clubs for 14 days. Restaurants can still serve but only via drive thru and delivery. **paints face blue and stands on the front porch yelling with an Irish accent, "YOU MAY TAKE OUR TOILET PAPER!

abrasivesaint Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) The hospital i’m at, (and i’ve heard similar things from friends in other parts of the country,) is taking everyone’s temperature at the main entrance. All other entrances are locked down and mostly guarded. Word is if you aren't in need of immediate healthcare or an employee you aren’t getting in. Some have set up pop-up triage tents in the parking lots. I’ve also heard through the grapevine that they’re having issues in ER departments in other hospitals because people are calling ambulances because they’re having mild symptoms and freaking out causing issues with already limited resources. The panic surrounding this situation caused by doom and gloom news coverage is making this worse. People refusing to listen to the advice of the CDC and medical professionals, are making this worse.

Waking up after too little sleep, checking the news and then going on the board here, its literally like watching a train-wreck in slowmotion, you know its gonna be an absolutely horrible crash that the worlds never seen the like of before, and everyone here is just playing on the train tracks... People are dying, societies are crumbling, nations are shutting down. All you can do to stop this is: Stay (the fuck) at home! Starting right now!

WorldBench Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just wanna say, I've been through alot of stuff with 12ozprophet. From 9/11, The North East Power Outage of 2003 where we had no power or food for a week, Major Hurricanes and other disasters and Deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and so forth. This is probably the craziest I've seen stuff get, and it's only getting worse. No Meats, No TP, No Water, No Pasta, No Food, and guess what the Government isn't there to help anyone (who'd a thunk 😉 ). This morning all the stores had Black Friday lines waiting to get in, just to find out the stores only stocked things nobody needs. Glad I saw this coming in January and got a good stock of supplies. Crazy times guys. I wish you all the best. Rage hang in there bud, rooting and praying for you man. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Let me elaborate on my thought process on why i think the panic from the news coverage is making this worse.. Other ailments, injuries, and illnesses have not all the sudden stopped happening because COVID-19 sat in the driver seat of our minds. Like @-Rage- said, when you go to a hospital on an average day, you have people there for routine appointments, surgeries, treatments, and so on. What you also have is sickly and elderly folk, which are the people reported to be the most susceptible to this virus, especially in terms of death rate. So say you have an elderly woman, much like the one i just watched get wheeled in on a stretcher. She’s there for whatever reason, non coronavirus related. Now here comes Joe or Jane strolling in, freaking the fuck out because they have a cough and a runny nose. They are in fairly healthy condition, and by what seems to be being reported, they will be able to push through this virus with some TLC at home, if they actually have it. They are in the same waiting room or same department as that elderly woman and have now potentially exposed her. Worst cases scenario, she catches the virus and dies.. ..All because they have been sold potential outcomes, statistics and impending doom from whatever news outlet they’re following. They panicked, fearing worst case scenario of death because that’s largely what we’re seeing being covered. They didn’t adhere to what the CDC and medical professionals have suggested for healthy folk with minor symptoms, and went and got medical attention needlessly. Thus, spreading the virus to the more susceptible, increasing the fear which will increase the panic, and make this worse. This is why i’m assuming i’m seeing and hearing about our hospitals nationwide beginning to cancel non emergent appointments and surgeries, and are turning people away. They need the resources right now, for people who might actually fucking need it. It’s not just about supplies, but staff as well. Supplies can be made, and are still being made. Trained medical staff cant be whipped up in a factory. Edited March 17, 2020 by abrasivesaint 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
