Fiancée who is elbows deep in it every day without sufficient PPE and innumerable sources (doctors, nurses, PA/NP) in hospitals throughout country. The “numbers” you see on news do not reflect the severity. Lack of testing, not sending tests out on weekends (sad but true), the spread that will only get worse bc people don’t take it seriously. Yes, it is bad and getting worse. China has a temporary hold on domestic cases due to forced lockdown and stay at home. If we don’t take these measures, we will look more like Italy/Iran etc. if any of you are not taking this seriously, it is way past time. And if you’re smoking, fucking stop right now.
Yeah, the hospitals in Boston are already all but out of masks and other basic supplies. It’s almost impossible to get a test still and most advice over the phone seems to (anecdotally) be “stay hydrated, watch your fever, let us know if it gets worse.” I believe the incidence rate is woefully underreported. NYC is headed for a full blown crisis hospital wise over the next few weeks.
