bend over, i'll show you a bloodbathUK and US making same mistakes
this is gonna be a bloodbath
Don't care about the political football D vs. R crap, this event should serve as an object lesson going forward for everyone on the political spectrum. Dems need to quit throwing money at iden y politics and certain environmental frivolities (not all of them are a waste of money) and Repubs need to stop fetishizing the military, which leads to a cool trillion every year to buy what are essentially big boy toys and fund bases in countries that don't need defense (UK, Germany, etc). The politician who gets the idea to fold pandemic response into national defense and cut funding for like F35s and aircraft carriers and vow to build the greatest healthcare system the world has ever seen will get my vote, D or R. The brown man with the broken AK47 just isn't worth worrying about anymore, although I understand many get their hard when the U.S. "shocks and awes!"After learning that the state's stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to a fork in the road in 2015. He could have chosen to buy more ventilators. Instead, he asked his health commissioner, Howard Zucker to assemble a task force and draft rules for rationing the ventilators they already had.
That task force came up with rules that will be imposed when ventilators run short. Patients assigned a red code will have the highest access, and other patients will be assigned green, yellow or blue (the worst) depending on a "triage officer's" decision. In truth, a death officer. Let's not sugarcoat it. It won't be up to your own doctor.
Cuomo could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece or a total of $576 million in 2015. It's a lot of money but less than the $750 million he threw away on a boondoggle "Buffalo Billion" solar panel factory. When it comes to state budget priorities, spending half a percent of the budget on ventilators is a no brainer.

what does iden y politics have to do with healthcare
this is bad nigas
I called it but this is bad
I think the true growth rate is burried in the ramped up testing numbers and difficult to determine at this point.
Not necessarily, just means that the percent increase over each interval is around the same. The math is that w/e daily percent increase that is (let's say 13%), the # of new cases each day will just keep climbing since, as the total cases increases, then 13% of that total case number also goes up. Although you probably already know that part. Technically, if it were a 10% increase each day that would be exponential growth.
However, Italy's percent increase appears to be declining based on the link you posted
Gotcha question....and he failed.
When you are asked a re ed question like “is the cure worse than the problem” and you don’t tell that person to off with that said stupid question you’re doing a bad job.
I'm trying to find something that breaks down Lombardy's cases by city, but can't find anything. Have you?
From the Green New Deal outline:
What's that even mean? And the money here is spent on a bunch of sociologists to figure out "solutions." Like, there shouldn't be tax payer funding in studying how implicit microaggressions impact the workplace or some other field. I'm a bleeding heart, but this is justThe Green New Deal is not only a major step towards ending unemployment for good, but also a tool to fight the corporate takeover of our democracy and exploitation of the poor and people of color.

I'm agnostic on all this, but I think the counter is to look at what the environmental justice movement is all about.From the Green New Deal outline:

Well if you're right we'll see a drop before long. But everyday we see growth at this rate is a bad sign.
again, what does this have to do with healthcare?From the Green New Deal outline:

Biden can dish it, he just can't take it.
Nah, I haen't found anything that specific. Let me know if you do. If its mostly confined to Milan then I would grant your point but the fact that they've always talked about the region as opposed to the major city there kind of bodes against that.
I'm okay with studying everything and anything, but I think studying the impact of microaggressions is something that should come from a private/university grant. If someone came to me and said give me a dollar to fund something like that, I would just laugh. That 500 grand could've bought 10 ventilators for New York.
Not sure if he can even dish it anymore. People don’t realize the old Joe Biden that was great at dishing it is gone.
Tax dollars funded that study. Those tax dollars could've been better spent on healthcare. If the NSF is going to fund frivolous junk like that, then their funding should be cut, meaning more funding for healthcare.
I guess we'll see in two weeks. I'll leave with this. Places outside New York will get hit some. Case numbers will rise. But I'm just not buying places like Texas, Florida, etc are on Italy and New York's path for all the reasons mentioned. But again, we'll see.
that's quite the stretch... just seems like you wanted to rant about random things that bother you, which is fine. just surprised you didnt throw in safe spaces in there
March 25.
“The economy can recover.
Once a person is dead, that’s it,”
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
told our White House correspondent Peter Nicholas,
in response to the president’s suggestion that the country reopen soon.
-- email from The Atlantic
Why is that a stretch? 500K buys 10 ventilators. How important are those right now?
