Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

Gemme · 12-05-2020, 11:26 PM

RI is really hurting right now and COVID is ramping up. People are being ridiculous and not wearing masks, maintaining distance, using frequent cleaning protocols, et cetera and we're now at a 9.2% positivity rate. Hospitals are at capacity. Two field hospitals have opened up but there's not enough staff to fully run them. Our Governor put us in a "pause" where businesses like gyms and bars are fully closed and others have tighter restrictions. You should hear the backtalk and complaints. It makes me cringe.

My employee's stepdad is a first responder and just tested positive. He was exposed at work. He also tends to have vicious colds that move into his chest and lungs quickly and hover there for weeks. I can't imagine what COVID is going to do to him.

My honey has stage 4 Kidney cancer and he has frequent appts for chemo on a weekly basis. You'd never guess that my Rico is facing a serious health crisis because he looks like the picture of perfect health.

So we are super careful in all our affairs by maintaining appropriate social distancing standards, wearing masks and we constantly keep our hands washed and clean and follow through with exceptional household hygiene standards.

With covid-19 being an airborne transmission type of scenario, it scares us daily that no matter the never-ending details we do to keep ourselves protected, it worries us on a daily basis that there is always the possibility of becoming infected when we exercise great care to protect our own health.

And thanks for mentioning ~ocean that every three seconds another person dies from covid-19. That is super frightening.

I read somewhere recently that even when innoculations begin, that wearing a mask is something people might have to do for another 18 months or so.

I also read in our own local news coverage that they have been conducting trial studies down in southern Oregon (Moderna?) and that this developer of the vaccine has pretty good numbers in terms of addressing immunity by immunization. If Moderna vaccine proves to be the best course for immunization, I hope my own personal health clinic will give Moderna vaccine shots, when it becomes available.

Well, it's official. The smallest state has the biggest jerks and morons. Thanks to the cavalier idiots running amok here, Rhode Island leads the nation in average daily cases per 100k.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says Rhode Island leads the nation for the number of average daily cases of the coronavirus per 100,000 people in the past seven days.

The CDC's COVID Data Tracker shows Rhode Island with 110.6 average daily cases per 100,000 people.

Minnesota and South Dakota are the only other states with rates above 100 average daily cases per 100,000.

The CDC said Connecticut's rate is 60.5 cases per 100,000 and that Massachusetts has a rate of 58.3 cases per 100,000.

Rhode Island on Monday entered the second week of a two-week "pause" that state officials hope will slow the spread of the coronavirus.

"It is not at all surprising, I have been up here warning week after week for a month and a half that this is what we were in for and, and therefore it's exactly what we expected. You shouldn't panic. You should take action. And that's exactly what I'm doing. That's exactly what we are doing. There's no purpose in panicking, this data is not good," Raimondo said Thursday at her weekly coronavirus briefing.

Rhode Island's daily positivity rate was 9.2% on Friday.
