We are never going to get outside again. The MTA, who runs the subways in NYC, has many employees out with Covid adding to the previous service cuts. Subways are sometimes erratic, and some folks are continuing to work and commute, probably by necessity. I won't go near the things myself, but if this continues (an isolated incident I hope) this wont end. The subways need to be shut down.

Sadly London is the same..... [&:] Some people still need to work and can't work from home. So what do they do? Cut down on the number of trains and tubes running. Okay.....

Now Maitland, now's your time!

Hospitalizations, deaths higher for coronavirus patients with diabetes
CDT April 2, 2020
https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/healt ... 7b3d285f95


"DALLAS — According to Dallas County Health and Human Services, 28% of COVID-19 patients who have required hospitalization in Dallas County are diabetic.

While the state of Texas says it does not yet have data to provide trends showing diabetes and coronavirus complications, Louisiana does.

Data released by the state health department on Monday shows 40% of Louisiana patients who died from COVID-19 had diabetes. "

Sounds plausible. Chronic diabetes causes multiple and cumulative end organ injuries, especially to the heart and kidneys.

It's one of the reasons it's going to hit the US hard. I do believe.
Look at Louisiana and it's numbers.

United Nations wants 10% of entire planet’s annual income in fund for coronavirus response
Apr 1, 2020


https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/unite ... s-response


"April 1, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has announced the creation of a fund for addressing the global coronavirus pandemic – and he is simultaneously asking nations to contribute the equivalent of at least 10 percent of the annual income of the entire planet to a massive “human-centered, innovative and coordinated stimulus package” that would be administered at the international level."

"f countries were to accept the plan, the United Nations or some similar coordinating agency would be given the equivalent of approximately 8.7 trillion USD, an unprecedented amount that would be 2,900 times greater than the UN’s annual budget of 3 billion USD."


Yeah, that's not going to happen. In fact, the head of WHO, which I believe is run by the UN, should be fired for spreading ChiCom propaganda about the virus back in January. Big help he was!

One of the Coronavirus jokes going around is:

Coronavirus causes a loss of smell.

Yea, so you can't smell a rat!

Sadly London is the same..... Some people still need to work and can't work from home. So what do they do? Cut down on the number of trains and tubes running. Okay.....

Kinda startin to wonder if we either do just that now, or do it later.................

Nah..wouldn't worry about. Just stick 200 people in a skinny metal tube face to face for twenty minutes when probably 20% of them already have a highly contagious respiratory virus. Herd immunity.

There are a few posts creeping in that suggest the ban on politics is only one way.

How long would I last if I said your President is owned by the Russians?

Sort it out please mods.

Detroit bus driver who complained about a coughing passenger dies of coronavirus days later
1 hr ago


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/detro ... li=BBnb7Kz

"Jason Hargrove could not hide his outrage at the passenger whom he said openly coughed on his bus in the middle of a pandemic.

On Thursday, the head of the Detroit bus drivers’ union announced that Hargrove had died of covid-19 on Wednesday. Glenn Tolbert, the head of the union, told the Detroit News that Hargrove started to feel ill on March 25, four days after the incident with the coughing passenger. A week later, he was dead.

Herd immunity.
Much as I don't like it I suspect that may be the correct answer. We won't go quietly, but we will go there. Funny thing about science, I heard it works whether you believe in it or not.

They did that here as well. Same with buses. And the main cause for this was to save money. People going to work, like hospital personnel, were packed tighter than usually in rush hour. At the same time the authorities said that people should stand around two yards from each other when using public transportation...

It took authorities around one weeks to ask, just ask mind you, if the public transportation networks could consider adding some traffic instead of cutting down.

What a sad story. [:(]

I've got to be in the middle of it.


One of the people I supervise care of is slowly dying of multiple cancers. Perspective I guess.
