Pandemics.. a cautionary tale... stay away from hospitals...

I was about to say...

This HAS to do something with Pandas.

well the official guidance has been to self isolate and stay at home

but what self interested self justifying arsehole cares for other people before themselves in this world


off they trot with their sniffles on public transport , taxis and even ambulances - especially the brits -

instagramming their drama and updating their fb page all the way


self centred shallow aresholes deserve what they get


it's just the rest of us who don't

this is good info,

I think the signs are pretty obvious this Virus is Aerosol transmission in certain mutations within patients , making them super spreaders.

They have been welding folks into dwellings, full hazmat gear, the eye being able to catch it comment,

im very nervous about what places like NYC and Other high density populated areas may look like

Obama did his best to shut them down, with Obamacare giving much better reimbursements to big city hospitals over small outlying ones. No reason, besides he wanted to kill small local healthcare.

Some health insurance covers "telemedicine", you remotely consult with a doctor or nurse practitioner over videoconference, and they can prescribe drugs that way, and you don't have to meet in person.

Most doctors barely look up from their iPads during a visit anyways so what's the point of face-to-face?

:Panda1:

One rather tragic mistake they made in Wuhan was that when they realized they had to do something about this, they gathered all the top doctors in town together for an emergency conference.

Well guess what, they all got infected from that meeting and many died. Now they don't have their top doctors any more.

They should have had a videoconference!

Tepco go home...

Honestly, if we are all going to die, I haven't told enough people who are clearly assholes to fuck off.

You are my first!!!

Fuck off!!

This is actually good info. Unless you work for those trying to suppress information.

Thanks OP!!

Really? Well that was a pretty dumb move on their part then. Tells me that they did not know or fully understand what they were really dealing with at the time they had their emergency conference. And obviously they did not take any serious precautions to protect themselves individually.

How is a dead person supposed to hail a taxi?

What I might be concerned about is pandemics. I don't give a shit about panda economics.

Oh you are so full of shit troll.

And (AC) you are half-full of shit. Maybe in Australia, where your medical system is not as advanced as the United States, this is the scenario to expect. But let's get a few things clear here. First, the US is not Australia.

That said, in the US the doctors and nurses who work in our hospitals are pretty hard core. They work with diseased, ill, and injured people all the time. Because the US has such a large military, many former military medical now work in civilian hospitals.

Also, US hospitals have been equipped for NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) warfare since the 1950's. After 9-11 these efforts were tripled, and plenty of equipment is in storage under the direction of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association).

The reason doctors and medical staff rarely get sick is because they are around germs all the time. Therefore, they have very robust immune systems, and they can handle the new (or novel) viruses and bacteria. It makes sense to walk into a hospital whenever you have the opportunity just to pick up a low dose of whatever is in the air. It's like getting a small dose vaccination without all the poison they put into an actual vaccine shot.

A pandemic will come to the US, and this Coronavirus will probably kill many elderly just as the flu does every flu season. But China is still not a first world nation. Their medical capacity fails miserably compared to what the US can handle. Also, the US simply has a much greater capacity to handle such an epidemic, and much more experience, knowledge, talent, skills, and resources.

I'm sorry Australia, but you should be more concerned about your country buring to the ground right now. California caught fire, and we put our fires out with massive resources, heroic effort, and tons of resources. Unfortunetly, Australia simply does not have such resources our the vast and seemingly endless supply of capital to pay for such emergencies as the US can muster up.

Finally, the US will weather this storm just fine, as we do all storms. We can take a hit. We are 350 million people strong, from the most diverse genetic population in the world. We survive hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, blizzards, blackouts, etc.,

We will survive Coronavirus just fine. If this were a real biological weapon...we'd all be dead by now!

Op, how in the world do we decantaminate stool?
I read somewhere, it may have been here, that stool needs to be decantaminated before flushing

thanks op. 5*s

Seems like the virus will be clustered at Dr. Offices and Hospitals. They might be Hot Zones.

...in the bowl. mix contents, pour into bowl.

Start home brewing & you will be firing by the time you need It.

Yup and the poor innocent Animals. Such horrific times.

I'm with you OP. In a pandemic, the receiving section of a hospital is the deadliest place on Earth. It becomes a vector for spreading contagion. If a hospital sets up multiple triages OUTSIDE the emergency room to contain infection, then they've got their shit together. Few if any will have such contingency plans.

One thing I wish America copied from India's Ayurvedic medicine is the notion of teardowns on hospitals - periodically replacing entire buildings (low cost modular structures). Deadly & dangerous microorganism colonize brick & mortar hospitals. Getting secondary infections from hospital visits is a massive problem - the older the hospital, the more deadly it becomes.

...and hand rails, door openers of every kind, shopping cart handles, store checkers touching the products to check you out, officials handling your ID, ATM and all public touchscreens, coffee pot handles at your get-your-own-coffee kwik marts, money....

Number 1 rule: never touch your hands to anything above your neck unless you've sanitized (until this is burned out).

I would suggest that's because they are thoroughly bored of all the non medicine which waddles in their door all day long looking to be told that being fat and idle and shallow isn't the source of all their issues


can't fix stupid , idle or lazy

so why lift your eyes when the problem is busy blaming everybody for their choices


sorry but sick of doctor bashing from some of the unhealthiest people on the planet :)

Hi, Perth! Have you watched the videos by the lawyer Chen Qiushi in Wuhan? Basically he is saying the same thing as you - a visit to the hospital achieves nothing, and you expose yourself to infection. There appears to be insufficient transport to take patients to hospital and to remove the bodies from various locations for disposal.

Read your whole post.

Just one of many misconception from which you suffer:

US bushires: 766,000 hectares

Au bushfires: 6.3 million hectares

Amazon fires: 100,000 hectares

And just like your guys came to assist, we came to assist the US as well.

A number of other assertions you make are so far along with head up arse syndrome its not worth mentioning.

Enjoy your wake up call because its coming, and the arrogant wont see it coming.

My info might be wrong, but I heard that China was treating this with antivirals but it didn't really help.

But let's say it does help. Given the expense of anti-virals, how many people would get them? Progressive socialist Canada doesn't even give antivirals to HIV sufferers if they are over the age of 24.

I am fuc*ed.

I live 10 min walking from a military hospital.

And another one 15km from here is also one of the biggest in the country.

he spelled it that way on purpose. to evoke this meme.

At what point does China realize that they were attacked with this virus and nuke the US of J

Go home CP, you're drunk.

I stay away from hospitals anyway. Their main surgical procedure, removal of your wallet.
