Israeli doctor in Italy: We no longer help those over 6 - The Jerusalem Post

This is starting to sound very serious being 69.

Israel is currently purchasing thousands of respiratory machines, and they are meant to arrive in the country by mid-May.

It makes you wonder where they are finding them. Also why this country isn't doing the same thing.

So under threat of fine and forfeiture the city is directing property owners to mow, trim, till, contain, etc. with full compliance end of April.

That should be ok, those activities don't require groups and get in the sunlight.

My brother has been taking some sort of zinc lozengers

About last year I read where the lozenges are more effective but I had been just using zinc pills for years and they seemed to work.

<snip>The masks all have expiration dates.

Some expiration dates can be ignored with no consequence. If the mask is just a filter what goes bad?
Be safe and stay spaced out.

And yet from that article

As his department receives coronavirus patients who are terminally ill the focus is to allow patients to meet loved ones and communicate with them during their last moments despite the quarantine regulations.

I hope they are not meeting in person.

Elon Musk: Should Have 1 Ventilators Next Week, + 25, N95 Masks For Hospitals Tomorrow — CleanTechnica Exclusive | CleanTechnica

I had the same thought when I read the above. Is it like they are setting in warehouses and no one has be ordering them? At one time USA manufactures had contracts with military and in storage they had the dies and equipment to make a lot of military equipment on a very short order.

The May delivery date for Israel makes me think they see a long term need.

Yes I reported it BEFORE Don did the editing & BEFORE there was any discussion of doing editing. IMO, the original post violated both rules "-Discussion of religious topics" & "-Discussion of political topics". Therefore it needed to be reported/deleted to prevent the locking of this thread.

Yet bashing the Gov of NY was OK? The problem here is obvious.

Long term on a ventilator is not good. They are considered last resort and are also called....life support.

Some #'s, by country (number of ventilators per 100,000 population).

Health Ministry to order 1, ventilators, boost ICU capabilities - The Jerusalem Post

I don't know what Canada's # is. UK is low.

Thanks for reminding me. It's time to stop procrastinating, and start filling out my living will.

If lots of people NEED to go on ventilators with COVID-19, it proves it is a nasty bug for those people.
