We simply do not have the resources to test or treat everyone. Masks are literally under lock and key and being rationed to healthcare providers!! We are short on gowns, goggles, hepa filters, and isolation rooms! You are endangering so many other citizens and staff members when you come to the ER for your completely manageable 102°F temperature or because you work with someone who knows someone who 'definitely has it.' STAY HOME UNLESS YOU ARE IN DISTRESS. If you ARE in distress, call 911 or call ahead to your local ER and seek immediate treatment. We know this is scary. We get it! Abusing the system is not helping the situation. Please be mindful of your community and your healthcare providers."


Hi ,
Last place I would want to be is in an emergency room especially if I wasn’t sure ,
“do I feel sick ? or don’t I ? “
I think you’d know it if you had a temperature of a 110, coughing your lungs out and unable to breath.
No doubt someone in that room could have it, and, after they’ve coughed all over you, chances are, you might actually get it too,
Gee whiz, you haven’t wasted your trip to ER after all, you can now join the ranks of those , with it.
Might have made more sense to stay at home and self isolate if not sure, and call an ambulance if things get bad.

Really can’t believe people are so STUPID.

Donny, I feel so sorry for these health workers who have to deal with this .

Wrong Lee. You didn't read what I responded to. It had already moved there.

Personally I appreciate this going to the bar. Quite frankly most of what I've been reading has been pure nonsense.

There's a nice example illustrating the danger of exponential growth:
The amount of algae in a lake starts at a tiny amount and doubles each day until the complete lake is covered 30 days later.
This would mean that on the 25th day the amount of algae is still so small that an observer would probably see no problem.
On the 29th day, half of the lake would be covered.
It is a good parallel to the behavior of the Corona infection curve until 50% of the population are infected.

The US is officially catching up with Germany... (of course not taking the difference in dark figures into account)

Thanks, Rachael. Pretty deep thoughts coming from my favorite "kid".

Always well thought out comments on pertinent issues.
