The coronavirus

An unintended consequence of Gov DeWine push to talk Coronavirus and prepare prepare prepare has been the complete and utter lack of care for individuals in need of medical attention right now for things other than coronavirus.

My mother fell and broke her leg last week.  She was in hospital, but they decided not to do surgery right away and get her out cause of coronavirus.  A little premature in reality.  Well, they moved her to a "rehab" facility.  Only, since they are clearing wings of the hospital many people are being moved, including the mentally ill.  She is basically in an insane asylum that is on lockdown with no guests.  She has had 2 different men enter her room a total of 5 times.  The one was incoherent.  Took the staff 22 minutes to come to her room.  The second man was screaming at her to get out of his house and where was his wife.  3 times in one night with that fellow.  Staff not responding fast nor really fixing the problem.  These are staff that are not prepared to deal with the psych ward patients.  But, they aren't even meeting the base expectation of keeping people safe.  There is some more, and she has only been there less than a week.

I wish we could actually balance our approach appropriately.  Ignoring it does't work.  Neglecting care for those that need it to prepare for something that isn;t there yet doesn;t work either.  Not allowing visitors allows these facilities to get away with not providing basic needs.  I have no idea what to do.

So yeah, fuck the chinese government and fuck Trump for downplaying and fuck all those that dramatize it for 24 hour news coverage while we as a society continue to fuck over others that actually need our help today, this very instance.  

Sorry to hear that totally sucks , his crisis has such a trickle effect that it will affect everyone. Hoping you mom get the help she needs..

Not saying I believe the Chinese numbers but if you look at how extreme their measures were to contain it then the numbers would still be lower than what other countries are reporting even with their higher population just because their measures were so extreme.

I am seeing 5 or 6 new york plated vehicles headed west every night. last couple of days with uhaul equipment too.   

and that's just between columbus and indy on I-70

Comments such as those coming from the FL governor where NYers are being treated like we all have the plague are deplorable (not saying that’s your comment, it is an interesting observation you provided). NY kept it’s borders open to the world while this virus was brewing. Any state that had residents pass thru NY from overseas during 2020 should respect that benefit it received and share responsibility and community.

have no doubt. they'll take your dollars and retirees but..... seems most of these gop trump asslicker governors really dropped the ball believing douchefuck.

finding it odd its just NY vehicles . No NJ or CT..

Florida is still not preaching the act of social distancing.  

What is THAT state going to look like in a few weeks?

I do find their numbers hard to believe.

There was an article about cell phone usage in China and that there are 20 million LESS cell phones in use now.

Take that for what it's worth but it is a link to something.
