Good reporting. But the groceries are only symptoms of the larger corporate greed. Read to follow: JCrew, Lynchburg, VA
The number of cases continues to increase with Seattle and NYC areas leading the way. So under control we are not.
Meanwhile our large health care provider in SW VA notified the public in a press conference Wed, they have tested over 160 people for Covid-19 and are awaiting test results😮
59 miles away at JCrew just down the road in Lynchburg, a worker has tested positive. I guess they didn't offer paid time off. He exposed a lot of people when he came to work sick and they are now closed.
Interestingly, Liberty University is very near by JCrew.
I do not know if Falwell ever closed the University. As of last Friday, he had not.
As for Congress. Why should we bail out the airlines. Delta had 5billion profit last year? Help the small . Sen. Cornyn made a very racially concerning statement to the food choices of the Chinese.
I go on record here that I love bacon.
The 1918, 2009 swine flu H1N1 epidemics were animal hop just like Covid-19. According to Smithsonian magazine the 1918 epidemic started in the midwest and our soldiers going to WWI, took it to Europe. Spain was particularly hard hit. Thus it became known as the Spanish Flu.
So Cornyn. Condemn me, too. Pass the bacon, anyone?
NY cases are up because our testing capacity is UP. Plz understand right now: CV is EVERYWHERE. It's been here. We've been taking precautions for 3 weeks. Our testing capacity went up to something like 7,000 last night (automated); results in 3-4 hours. Our Gov has told us ALL WEEK this was going to happen. So there is no cause for alarm; it's just more ACCURATE. Which now allows us to better protect each other and ourselves, and the gov to better address any cluster situations or hot spots. Which I haven't seen today (Gov Cuomo briefs us DAILY - livestream, then posts to his website. I highly recommend you watch; he is likely the most accurate news you will watch all day. I also advise you go back and watch a couple of briefings from last week. He teaches as he goes. States facts. Tells us what is in progress, what has been decided.)
Advise you press your VA gov for same as NY Gov Cuomo is doing (see my other reply here). 160 tests in VA is disastrously LOW testing, not even rough estimate. Keep us posted. Push back hard. Let us know how we can support you online.
You misread this. It says my area. SWVA the fact they just did 160 tests HERE. We have no confirmed cases because the turn around on test results is 7 days here. Ridiculous.
The Gov of VA has been proactive even if I am not a fan. He is a doctor by trade. The world here is different than NY but I am aware of NY and feel for all of you. Some of my family lives in Beacon.
Does 7-day turnaround mean you all are still sending tests to CDC/Atlanta for results? Their sluggish processing/backlog is insane; NY Gov Cuomo petitioned feds to go private/local here for testing/test results 2'ish weeks ago - which is how we got up
& running automated last night. Surely VA can do the same?
Our first case just confirmed a few minutes ago. She has been in Carilion RMH since Monday. That explains the press conference. So now it starts to see how many others of the 160 are positive.
Oh Eastern and Central VA have 2-3 day turn around. The critical part of the testing here is not available.
So Carilion did a press conference on how they are preparing. One of the lead doctors said right now they have a 7day turn around. My fear is we will have a huge amount of positives out of the 160. Meaning many more have been exposed.
re that missing critical piece of testing - our kits (from CDC) didn't have it either. That's another reason NY went in-state, via private companies.
As for a huge amount of positives from the 160 - maybe, maybe not. The key is simply testing as many people as possible so that you get the greatest sampling every time. Some people don't show symptoms, but have it anyway. They probably won't be tested, but they're still shedding virus. The there's a mild version of cv (like Tom Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson has/had). Those people may not see a dr, thus not be tested. So the percentage of positives in the 160 depends on WHO they tested - if everybody was in the ICU, you'll see a much greater percentage. If they all just came into a clinic, it'll be less. So you use the numbers as a tracking device geographically and day-to-day.
Locally, just assume everybody's got it. Seriously. That way everybody takes precautions. And remember 80% of cases self-resolve. But it's the "higher risk" groups that need the most protection. Be well.
