I am not an alarmist by any stretch, but I whole heartedly agree with everything fun until has said. That’s biggest problem we have in this country right now that so many people don’t want to believe how bad it is so they still want to be out and about. I have read everything I can find on this. It is not the flue by any stretch of the imagination. All the experts from around the world all agree that locking things down is the only hope we have of slowing this until better testing and a vaccine can be developed. Our country got caught with our pants down despite several warnings that something like this was coming. And it’s not a political thing. It’s just a blantant head in the sand approach from most major country’s.
I have a good friend who is dying right now in a hospital in Georgia. He and his wife were on a cruise ship that was one of the first quarantined. They spend days on the ship, then they were transferred to a base in Georgia and put in quarantined. Then tommy started showing symptoms and the transferred him to a hospital with pneumonia, temp going out of site, BP dropping to nothing. They finally got him on a vent. That was 3 weeks ago he has been basically been out of it since then. Finally last Sunday it looked like he was turning the corner, temp came down, BP settled down and he had stopped fighting the vent, Monday he started responding a little to the nurses. Day before yesterday temp started back up, and as of yesterday he was back about where he started. Dr visited with his wife yesterday and told her he was starting to show signs of multiple organ failure. And in this whole process his wife had tested positive and has gone through a bout of it while in quarantine and seems to have beat it without hospitalization but they still have her in isolation. If tommy makes it through this it will be by Gods hand. Those Dr’s and Nurses have worked tirelessly to save him and not near enough praise can be heaped on all these medical people for the war they are fighting.
Pay attention to what the medical experts are saying, follow their instructions, and we can get through this. Get it through your head, this is not the flue, it is not going away soon and it’s up to each and everyone of us to do our part. Remember this the one you may infect and could cause their death could be one of your loved ones.
