Also from tonight’s interview with Hannity (synopsis: he’s not listening) "I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be," Trump said on Sean Hannity's program, "Hannity." "I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. ...

It’s interesting that we get tweets about this but the normal 5Af defenders of Trump were MIA yesterday after Trump posted his “the media is making up this to hurt my reelection chances” tweet

Very interesting indeed

COVID-19

That is awful.

Our system has an in house lab and they turn around a test in four hours
It seems like our inpatient tests are taking up to 24 now. I don’t know what’s up

COVID-19

I should have been more clear.

If you can’t breathe, you call 911

If you are having trouble breathing and you think it is COVID related, you call your hospital on your way in and ask them what they want you to do. We are directing people to a separate triage area if it is suspected COVID.

COVID-19

772249 Your questio: If I start having breathing issues, I call my doctor if it’s me and have a low threshold for a hospital visit. Calling your doctor is just going to result in them referring you to the ER, no? Doctors offices aren't going to put you on a ventilator. Please don't show up at the E...

COVID-19

If you need emergency care, seems like the ER would be a decent place to go. Just call ahead. That’s the end game I’m referring to here. Say you’re having trouble breathing, I’m probably calling the hospital instead of my doctor for the sake of time. I’m assuming that the doc is simply going to tel...

772244 But if you wait to long, you can quickly pass that point of no return. But when is that point? Do you go to the ER once you have any breathing issue? And if they send you home? When I am saying the point of no return, I am talking about a period of time to intubate a patient. Like if the phy...

COVID-19

Like for example. The best way for patients with severe COVID to survive is to intubate early. Get them on the vent and basically wait it out. But if you wait to long, you can quickly pass that point of no return. And if hospitals are overwhelmed, that point of no return will happen much more often...

COVID-19

I’m not saying it is just posting discussion. Yea I would agree with you honesty. I don’t think the mortality in a vacuum will be much greater than the flu. But it will be if instead of each hospital getting a few influenza patients a day, we get 100 Mortality can be significantly higher if resourc...

Not comparing the flu to COVID, but I wonder if there is some overlap with COVID cases and flu cases in Allegheny County? So far the flu cases are about 130% higher than all of last year’s cases and about 300% higher than a few years ago. So far this year it’s 13,456 cases, 163 hospitalizations, an...
