Coronavirus

Food for thought: This is a video from the NYT showing the inside a hospital in Elmhurst, Queens:

Video: ‘People Are Dying’: 72 Hours Inside a N.Y.C. Hospital Battling Coronavirus

An emergency room doctor in Elmhurst, Queens, gives a rare look inside a hospital at the center of the coronavirus pandemic. “We don’t have the tools that we need.”

www.nytimes.com

- If video inside NY hospitals are not allowed, why is the NYT able to post this?
- If the Hospital in Elmhurst really was short on ventilators, why wasn't Cuomo giving them some from the unused stockpile of thousands he finally admitted to?
- If this video is false and not from a NY hospital, then once again MSM is lying. Why?


SO many questions.

That video did not show patients. Please read up on federal hippa rules and nyc hospital policy which is uniform across the board. No recording devices allowed. That’s why you will see “official” videos from hospitals only - with no patients and limits info. Aerial shots from outside the buildings. You can easily search video of the refrigerated trucks being used to cart off bodies parked outside these hospitals.

No you did not answer this question:

Why are they using fake footage if the situation is really that bad?

Yes I did. Go back a couple posts.

Hippa rules for one.
Hospital policy against recording devices for two.

As an American who works in healthcare I am acutely aware of those hippa issues as well as the consequences for violating them. As a ny’er I am extremely familiar with the hospital policies which Almost got my husband carted off to jail four years ago.

Right now they are starting to fine people who go out here in Montreal, and the media says that the army could be used for a period that could last up to a year. This shit has got to stop.

Please. Using footage from Italy (dont they have the equivalent of HIPPA rules over there too?) to misrepresent a situation violates broadcasting rules. On top of being totally fraudulent.

I thought Canada was giving each of you 2k/month? I’ll admit I do not follow what is going on in Canada very closely so I have very little clue.

They have promised $2000/month for 16 weeks to anyone who has lost their job due to Covid19. The problem is that they have closed all the social service offices in Canada, the website has crashed, and they’re not answering the phone.

I was already on benefits when this hit. I went on medical benefits back in September, but they only last 15 weeks — not usually enough time to recover from anything serious. I am lucky because I responded very well to treatment, and was able to get a note from my doctor clearing me to work, which means I could apply for regular employment insurance when my medical benefits ran out. I applied back at the beginning of the year to have my claim converted from medical to regular, and it took them until two weeks ago to respond to me. I kept going to the local office and asking what was happening with my claim (because whenever I called, their system would just hang up on me because their call volume was too high), and they would put a note in my file and promise that someone would call me within five days. Like I said, it was 10 WEEKS before they got back to me, and this was before Covid19 hit us. My wife needs to apply for the emergency benefits, but I’m not going to hold my breath that we’re going to see any money for a long time.

Even so, $2000/month barely covers housing for us. My EI plus my wife’s eventual benefits will bring us $4000/month, but when half that goes to the landlord, it leaves us less than $100 a day for food, utilities, etc. Canada is expensive.

We are doing OK financially at the moment because we have generous relatives, and because I sold all my work equipment (I used to have a commercial power washing business), and my truck. The socialist safety net that Canada offers didn’t save my business, and it won’t cover our living expenses for very long.

Stay afloat. Positive thoughts your way bro.
We’re good financially here, but my job did call me back off of furlough.

So back at work I be

I have no idea what the healthcare privacy rules are in Italy or Canada. I don’t live in either place. I do know what the rules are generally in the United States because I have to comply with them in my own profession.

I also do know for a fact what the rules are in nyc hospitals. I have video evidence of this but linking you to it would give you way more information about my identity then I care to give to people who don’t even have enough sense to believe that people in nyc are dying and the situation is bad despite numerous sources - both formal and informal are saying so.

The whole situation is a mess. No matter what they do or don’t do people are going to fall through the cracks and it’s godawful and sad and entirely unnecessary.

I got lucky because I filed for unemployment before my colleagues realized they were laid off. But I still didn’t get any money yet.. though I’m still in a way better position then all the others who haven’t even been able to file yet because the system is crashing. If this goes on longer then the four months they extended this special unemployment situation I’m going to have to go take a job at amazon or something. I really don’t want to at all. I’m immune compromised so it’s not wise but what the hell you going to do I guess. God willing they figure this shit out and get it under control sooner rather then later.

We need to build a wall around China. A great, beautiful, wall. And we need to make them pay for it.

Chinese Markets Reopen — And They Still Sell Bats, Dogs And Cats

Dogs, cats, bats and bugs are still for sale in Chinese food markets that reopened after the country recently declared victory over coronavirus.

Same rules in Canada, maybe even more stringent. I had to go outside the hospital the other day to take a picture of my boy in his face mask.

I have no idea why that pic posted sideways.

Speaking of falling through the cracks... Americans who did not make ten thousand dollars and therefore did not have to file taxes will get nothing with the current setup. And retired people are getting the screw too. What I fear is that we have now created a shit ton of people who once they get free handouts will be in no hurry to get back to work and the welfare bills will break us without the benefits going to people who truly need financial aid.

And if you think all are getting 1200, you need to do your research or check again.

That was altered. Every American adult will receive $1200 whether they paid taxes or not.

People don’t only work for money. It’s more then that. A lot more than that. I can’t wait to go back to work and I’m going to get more on unemployment then I would otherwise.

Good. It’s so irresponsible for any church, mosque, synagogue or whatever to keep meeting these days. Our church cut off services three weeks ago, and at the time, I thought it was a little bit much, but even if a pastor doesn’t agree with the social distancing rules, the Bible says we are to be subject to earthly authority, and disobeying that authority is not a good witness.

 

[FaithAndStrength]

Dunno what you mean mate. Christians don't worry or get stressed about anything, so if that great mindset gives them more immunity than fretful nervous wrecks such as snowflakes it's understandable..

Oh I sincerely hope that wasn't a mocking comment, because if you're serious we do in fact get stressed out over many things, more so than those who don't know God because since we know more, the enemy will go after us even harder so yes...we are very stressed. If you were just mocking us however, it's still necessary you know of this fact.

I hear considering people are losing their jobs because of this, they will get paid 1,000 dollars and we minors will get paid 500 dollars. Though I doubt they'd actually have the consideration to do this..
