Obviously after the data yesterday it’s trailing and the slowing down of infection is going to bring the overall number down as well. NY has done a great job of reducing the rate of growth. Continues to be a battle against the rate of spread and access to ventilators that reduce the death rate in those hospitalized. Those are the two things we can (somewhat) control. And FTR I hope I continue to be high in those estimates. |

Example from my personal experience as a Respiratory Therapist: I took 34 hours of science based college courses with labs at Missouri State. I did an additional year of college focused on Respiratory Therapy courses in KC at MCCC. While I did that year I did a medical residency at 7 local hospitals working 40 hours a week for free learning and experiencing real world ICU and ER issues. I heard this week that most Respiratory Therapists in the European Union are trained for 6 months only. That includes book and lecture courses and real life hospital time experience. Some only have experience at one hospital when the graduate. Respiratory Therapists run the ventilators keeping people alive. Integral part of any ER and trauma team. Who do you think is going to have a better chance to make a positive impact on patients? The ones educated here or the ones educated in the European Union? |

The numbers are going to start getting large very quickly but we have done a better than expected job keeping the rate down. My big fear — and there isn’t enough data to support it yet — is that places with smaller health care capacity are going to get overwhelmed rapidly. NYC can take some steps and the feds can help. When you have 50 NYCs (on a per capita basis) happening this could get really ugly very quickly. I have no knowledge that localities can’t support their own outbreaks but watching the numbers grow everywhere is discouraging. |

Top CDC official warns New York's coronavirus outbreak is just a preview
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcar...reak-is-just-a Along with hard-hit New York, with some 30,000 confirmed cases, the epidemic is spreading more broadly. New Jersey has reported more than 4,400 cases. California, Michigan and Washington have all confirmed more than 2,000 cases, and Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania had all recorded more than 1,000 cases, according to state health laboratories compiled by The COVID Tracking Project, a group led by the journalist Alexis Madrigal. |
