Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The China virus is making no sense.

Sister called today, shes an RN, CRNA and nurse Anesthasist and very concerned re numbers of patients her team is having to intubate. One today is 38 years old and entered with O2 levels in low 60s and they cant get her over mid 70s.

Having to keep patients in their ERs for up to 24 hours and the hospitals with setups for treating Covid disease are full.
She says testing is showing Covid, not Flu.
Crap. Unreal.

Next county over got bad like that right before Thanksgiving. My manager and his friend drew late muzzleloader deer tags, which are extremely sought after. His friend is a nurse that works at a surgery center, basic in-out-maybe one night at most type stuff. He made it for one day of the three week hunt, because the main hospital pushed anything non-covid over, and none of the other nurses had any experience with things like ketamine drips. So he accepted the shifts instead of getting his deer.

When it gets going, this thing picks up some speed.

Social distance or wear a mask and reduce the chance of getting it by around 50%. With asthma and chronic bronchitis, I'll opt for the mask and if others would too that would significantly reduce transmission.

They did not need to die yet perhaps! What if it was you?

Masks cause Hypoxia?
And collect all sorts of nasty stuff promoting bacterial pneumonia...
At a time when old people are particularly susceptible.
