Talk to a doctor who works in an MICU and get back to us

WorfoSAUR

The medical staff I’ve spoken to say this hasn’t impacted their ICUs

Jericho

Well, my minister in my ward is an ER doc in Utah county...

TheKing

3/20/20 10:52am

So it hasn’t hit in Utah County yet either...

Jericho

3/20/20 10:53am

No, he's saying that the ER he works in is getting bad

TheKing

3/20/20 11:00am

The ERs are bad everywhere

Jericho

I guess we'll see

TheKing

ERs are super slow now.

If you're in New York they are at 3 times ICU capacity right now. In a word

Then cite me as something who knows it is problematic.

What kind of doctor?

SUAVO

OK, he's a chiropractor. But still...

The Y's Insider

Weird that he told you exactly what you and Rush have been saying all along

coolcats

3/20/20 10:33am

But Rush was awarded the Trump medal of freedom, so he def. knows what's up.

Costanza

3/20/20 10:35am

Maybe he is a doctor and is standing in front of a mirror?

SUAVO

Couldn’t tell you what Rush has been saying. Only what this doc said

Point?

You’ve both been calling it a common cold for days

coolcats

3/20/20 10:47am

I repeated what this doc told me

maxpowers

3/20/20 10:49am

Which conveniently matches the exact narrative you have

coolcats

3/20/20 10:54am

Which opinions conveniently match your opinion on this.

maxpowers

3/20/20 11:02am

Except there are PLENTY of stats which show your opinon/narrative is misguided

coolcats

3/20/20 11:06am

Agree that we have different opinions and reasons for those opinions. This sure

Interesting. A nurse I know outside of Seattle area says that they are running

If she is in Seattle, none of that sounds too bad. We've already known

Haven't gotten an update in a few days. It's not to Italian levels, but it

Costanza

Considering Washington has one of the highest rates of infection in the country

BeardedSpock

3/20/20 11:25am

They're short on workers in Seattle hospitals because a lot of the staff have no daycare options.

Would you mind sharing the clinic name?

Which is why people in risky demographics should self-isolate.

Shows lack of knowledge.

You should find a new doctor.

Believe it or not people in the medical community can have their own opinions

Meh. Economic loss in U.S. is only $5 trillion thus far. How bad can that be?

Then I think it is your duty to tell your church leaders they are being duped!

AlexKnight

Ha. Social contacting like Church is one of the first easy wins on social

rcbyufan

Again, why Rush?

My friend, a nurse, who recently saw an otherwise healthy 30-something pass away freaked out.

20-30 year olds are actually in for trouble. Lots of vaping in that demo.

This is the problem with anecdotal accounts on both sides. They see one or two

I'm guessing any doc saying this is in a hospital that hasn't been hit yet.

He’ll change his tune if it hits Utah county hard, I pray that it doesn’t.

Ignorance is bliss. I'm a healthcare worker, and he is 💯 wrong.

I'd like to see how he feels in a week or two.

Why do you say that? It looks promising.
