What's new

Rudy has Covid 19

testing is expensive as hell here. I’m hearing accounts of $500-$600 with insurance and $1,500+ without.

and that’s if you meet the criteria of:

recently traveled abroad and/or been in contact with someone who has been confirmed sick with it.

ridiculous. Soooooo many more people are sick with this thing.
WTF!! Why would it be so expensive? Aren’t we trying to stop the spreading of this virus? A lot of people won’t get tested because of $$.
 
Even if he doesn’t die I read that the severe cases can have long recoveries and have long term effects on lungs... which given his profession would be not good. Hope like hell he and the other team personnel are healthy. This **** is scary and people taking it lightly very well may end up feeling as dumb as Rudy dies for the mic joke.
 
All this tracing of contact may be fairly irrelevant very soon other than for academic purposes. The fact that Rudy and Mudiay have it, from an angle, can be positive if we realize it’s already here and its incidence is already much higher than thought. Bigger issue, from my view, would be downstream effects of those needing intensive care.

Our expectation is that our 48 bed ICU unit will be full of coronavirus patients within 14 days. Im surprised we are not training more nurses in the use of respirators at the moment. We are expecting massive staffing shortages.
