If FEMA is outbidding states for PPE, is Trump waiting to disperse that shyt to red states? They are eventually going to be the next New York because Republicans dont believe in science. Trump needs to be dragged out the WH if that happens. If states are still complaining about not being able to order supplies, the hospitals say they dont have adequate supplies, Trump is saying the states need to handle this themselves, the federal government is no shipping clerk, WHERE THE fukk ARE THE FEMA PURCHASES GOING? This shyt pissing me off.
He'll shyt a tweet out saying Florida desperately needs the supplies and the governor has been very good to him and there are more retirees living there than anywhere. Don't be surprised. Any day now.

You asked, we’re answering: Your top coronavirus questions
Q: I’ve heard that black people can’t get coronavirus.
A: Anyone can get coronavirus.

Any person who comes into close contact with someone who is infected is at risk for contracting the virus, according to the CDC.

“Black people can get coronavirus, just like other people,” said Dr. Jennifer Caudle, an African-American family physician who has also been debunking coronavirus myths.

Caudle said she worries that some people may not take proper precautions to protect themselves against the virus because they may have heard this myth.

In Africa, the pandemic is gaining a foothold. So far, the virus hasn’t spread in Africa as quickly as it has on some other continents. But numbers there are rising fast.
Somebody really asked that.

A woman believed to be the first person to ever test positive for COVID-19 in Wuhan, China speaks out for the first time.

Imagine being the first-ever person to have contracted the novel coronavirus, which has spread across the planet, infecting over half a million people and killing more than 25,000. How do you think they're feeling about all this?

"Patient Zero" has reportedly been identified as Wei Guixian, a 57-year-old shrimp vendor in the Huanan Market in Wuhan, China. She was among the first twenty-seven people to have ever tested positive for the virus, and is believed to be "patient zero." For the first time, she is speaking out about her own experience with coronavirus via the Wall Street Journal.

"I felt a bit tired, but not as tired as previous years. Every winter, I always suffer from the flu. So I thought it was the flu," said Wei.

She went to a local clinic where she received treatment for the flu before returning to work, effectively beginning the outbreak that has shut down the entire world. Her symptoms worsened before she decided to go to the hospital, where doctors could not figure out what was wrong. On December 16, she visited another hospital where it was determined that she was among many to have contracted the "ruthless" illness. Before finally being placed in quarantine, doctors determined that twenty-four of the twenty-seven cases they had seen came from the seafood market, also realizing that Wei was likely "patient zero."

She believes that she came into contact with the virus via a shared toilet with wild meat sellers. Wei has since made a full recovery from COVID-19.

In other coronavirus news, the United States officially has more confirmed cases than Italy and China.

The fact of the matter is that urgent care facilities don't provide the necessary level of treatment for someone suffering life threatening complications of Covid 19.

If you want to argue that he didn't go to the ER because he couldn't afford it, go for it.

But your current line of argumentation is just bullshyt. Sorry I'm not here to join your circle jerk politicizing his death.


You don't have the facts of the story straight. He went into Urgent Care with syptoms. They told him :camby:


His condition worsened as he was taken to a hospital (which Urgent Care didn't provide service for). Had they just treated his ass before his conditioned worsened it's possible he wouldn't have gone into cardiac arrest and died. In life threatening emergencies, time is your number one factor in determining the outcome. Delay in care literally kills people.

You dudes can try and spin this away all you want in your quest to deny the absurdity and inhumanity of this country not providing healthcare to everyone, but the bottom line is that his lack of healthcare undeniably contributed to his premature death. Which is the whole fukking point of the story.

these dumb-assess keep ignoring the warnings from health officials out here. Doctors keep giving warnings but they fall on deaf ears. These idiots think they’re invincible. Some docs are trying to get a petition to the governor so he can mandate a stay at home. They gon learn in a few weeks. So far it hasn’t hit as hard out here but the hospitals are preparing.:francis:
