Our good friend’s brother is 40, a broadway performer that many of you probably know of. He’s healthy as it gets, and he’s laying in a Manhattan hospital right now waiting for a ventilator that the nurses have told him and his wife he’s unlikely to see.
Stay safe out there everyone. Hope you’re all well.
- Fuck. Which hospital.nb
- :(Krassy
- Ah man. Hope he gets the help he needs. :(PhanLo
- Oh, healthy, young and not a medical worker, that's not good. Hope he doesn't need the vent.********

- Which hospital doesn’t matter, does it?monospaced
- I don’t know the exact hospital, we’re just trying to comfort our friend. And yeah he‘s showing signs he needs a ventilator.ben_
- If I have to go to Emergency, I might want to avoid the hospital that a 40 year old healthy person isn't even getting approved for ventilator.nb
- Just trying to keep aware of the changing situation around me. Not all hospitals are equalnb
- Speechless :| hope he gets better mate, I truly mean that.********
- Apparently he's at a good hospital with ample coverage. There's a shortage, he's waiting and apparently just not bad enough yet.ben_
- @nb, there is only one form of the virus, and all hospitals have people in need of ventilators with the virus. It really doesn't matter which hospital.monospaced
- I live right next to the NYU Langone campus and Bellevue. So I know where I’d end up. Eek.monospaced
- I just posted this because he's in our age range (many of us) otherwise healthy and with a family. Hits very close to home. I only know a handful of you outsideben_

- Yes, it's very tragic. :( My thoughts go out to him and you, as a relatively-healthy 40-year-old myself.monospaced

UPDATE 1-Putin sending medical supplies to help U.S. fight coronavirus -IFX
MOSCOW, March 31 (Reuters) - Russia is sending the United States medical equipment to help fight the coronavirus outbreak, the Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Beware of Bad Samaritans
China and Russia are sending medical aid to Italy and other coronavirus-stricken countries, but their motives aren’t so altruistic.- How about laying off the social media disinformation campaigns and attempts to sow social dischord. kthksbye.colab
- @colab lol, these things aren't from my social media feeds. this topic is on the table for more than two weeks, and its a pretty nice story growing in the bg.sted
- the motivations are questionable since the quality of the products in these aid packages is highly variable.sted

I wonder if all the “the flu kills way more people every year than Coronavirus has killed” people ever saw a single hospital in America loading up refrigerator trucks with corpses on a daily basis because so many people were dying of the flu?
What this crisis has revealed is just how awful some people are at math. YES, the flu kills on average 40,000 people each season, but they don’t die en masse at hospitals and the deaths don’t increase exponentially. We have a vaccine and treatment for the flu, we have immunity to it for the most part. And STILL it kills 40,000 people and sickens millions.
Curious, I did the math of seasonal flu deaths distributed across the 19,495 cities in the US.
If each city in the US had TWO seasonal flu deaths across flu season October 1st - March 14th (164 days) that would come out to about 38,990 deaths. Let’s round up and call that 40,000.
Would anyone even notice? 2 deaths in 164 days in 19,495 cities?
We wouldn’t spend a second’s thought worrying about it. You could take 10,000 of those deaths away from 10,000 cities and add them to the other 9,495 cities over 164 days and still nobody would notice THREE flu deaths in 164 days.I absolutely suck at math and this is child’s play to figure out.
The flu does not kill this many people in one day. The flu does not kill exponentially. The flu doesn’t require refrigerator trucks for dead bodies.-------

- Bobo?PhanLo
- Yes actually. An old friend that used to run a funeral home said yes. It's just that the politicians are involved and the media is begging for viewership -toemaas
- Mixed with some social media madness. The heat wave in Chicago in '95 had way more sudden deaths and I'm sure NYC has had that shit worse thantoemaas
- Chicago. Things like this happen. People normally don.t give a shit or know about it. We live in an age of information. Who will manipulate that fact.toemaas
- 95 heat wave = 740 deaths in 5 days VS. Covid-19 = 45 deaths in 2 months.toemaas
- See where we are in 2 weeks Toemaas.PhanLo
- Soon in NY they'll be up to 100's per day.PhanLo
- Are you confused by what the word "exponential" means, toemass?Khurram
- Perhaps im just in denial of how escalated this will get. Optimistic maybe. I remember the headlines saying 3mil dead in best case scenario. Now 100ktoemaas
- were at 3k now - I dunno, I guess it's best to discuss in a couple of weeks as PhanLo says.toemaas

Jonathan Shuttlesworth, a close friend of Rodney Howard-Browne who was recently arrested for holding services this Sunday, says he intends to hold a large Woodstock-like Christian gathering in defiance of stay-at-home orders.
