A message from Italy, President @realDonaldTrump: 10% of all infected patients require admittance to the ICU. - The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) https://twitter.com/NetworksManager/status/1235675865150877698 The U.S. only has 120,000 ICU Beds in the Entire Nation! BIG, BIG, problem! ----- Well, I hate to say it, but I think now we do have grounds for Impeachment: Reckless endangerment of the American People! #Trump Encourages the Spread of Covid19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! President of the United States telling the country it's okay to go to work with #Coronavirus #CoVid19 He says ‘It’s very mild... and people can go to work’ https://twitter.com/montymetzger/status/1235690392147726337 https://twitter.com/axidentaliberal/status/1235576303425904640/photo/1 **Unbelievable. So it is mild for some, but for others its a death sentence, especially the elderly. Is Trump trying to kill off the Elderly???** Now we know the TRUTH. Now we KNOW WHY Trump hasn't lifted a finger to stop the spread of COVID19 that has KILLED MILLIONS of Chinese to date! He WANTS the Elderly & Dis abled to die, to fix Social Security. He WANTS the Poor to die, to fix welfare type payments. This is why he continues to hold Trump Rallies in the middle of a pandemic, in order to be sure to INFECT as many as possible, as quickly as possible. Trump wants Millions of Americans to DIE so he has an easier time balancing the Budget. These are the actions of a psychopath. This is why the Surgeon General is telling American's NOT to wear a mask.....so they will get infected! https://twitter.com/EdmondL35058742/status/1235707168189566976 Mr. President @realDonaldTrump is it true that 10% of Americans who get #COVID19 die of it? And that you think that's "as low as possible?" If so, Americans are suffering the highest death rate in the entire world. You & all of us should be terrified -- if these numbers are true. https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1235717745129312256 Do not put your faith in this conman. Make a plan for your family should you have to remain in place for a few weeks. https://twitter.com/MsMariaT/status/1235620985723703296 One thing is that the conversation around #COVID19 is that "well, pssh, mortality rate is low, you probably won't die," which ignores the fact that a 2-3 week serious respiratory illness ain't a carousel of delight, either. And those who would die are vulnerable populations. I have been talking to some very smart doctors and experts in public health and they all agree this administration is slow walking testing and emergency preparedness for #COVID19. https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/status/1235575613265604610 ---- #Rick Santelli from CNBC suggests the world would be a better place if we just gave #covid19 to everyone and “got it over with” so the markets can resume rising. Rick is 63 years old. https://twitter.com/Trumpery45/status/1235681449879064576 I assume his elderly relatives will be volunteering first?

Has anyone ever hospitalized? Statistically, for each family of 5 #CoronaVirus will hospitalize one person. **The flu does not do that.** For every six of these families #covid19 will kill one person. **The flu doesn't do this either.** https://twitter.com/kr3at/status/1235662445315862538 **Flu also doesn't attack your nervous system** Dr. Dena Grayson **Chinese doctors say autopsies of #coronavirus victims suggest that #COVID19 is “like a combination of #SARS and #AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems,” and can cause “irreversible” lung damage even if the patient survives.** https://twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/status/1235674258858061825 This latest report of SARS-like lung damage is consistent with prior clinical reports of #coronavirus cases from #China.

But what if a government even fails to deliver the tests itself? USA has officially 164 cases of #Covid19 Stockholm, my city, has 59 cases. Is it better testing? Or more patients? The US needs more testing to get a handle on the numbers infected to hopefully contain the spread. As an American, I am angered as well as embarrassed by and with how the current administration has dealt with the situation with Covid-19. This administration is running the country much like the keystone cops. The degree of incompetence displayed is astounding. Outrageous if true: Not everyone's insurance is paying out for the testing if it comes back negative, so I imagine many people in the States aren't getting tested **As of this morning we're aware that Microsoft and Intel has told their employees to work from home until further notice or until April.** We're doing our best to ignore the lies from our President and his administration and following the guidance/ truth of our state governments. ---- #Unbelievably OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The CDC ineptness is going to kill us all!!!! If Nurses can't get tested to make sure they are NOT spreading covid19 to other patients, what hope is there for the rest of us??? CDC PURE INSANITY RUNAMUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **National Nurses President Deborah Burger reads a public statement from one of our quarantined #nurses who works at a northern California Kaiser facility.** https://twitter.com/NNUBonnie/status/1235663306246860800 Who ever is and has been running the CDC needs to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY and Replaced with someone who has a brain that is actually working! #Welcome to government control, government regulations and government run health care. Death by Government bureaucracy, will get you every time. They don’t want to know about cases. They don’t want to know how ineffective our ppe is. They don’t want to be wrong. But they are wrong, our ppe is ineffective and there are cases. We are late. It is here and we have made this outbreak much worse by dragging our feet. Please demand to strike if schools, malls, and restaurants are not closed IMMEDIATELY! Pilots did it to drop flights! Use your power! Slow this down so we all have a chance! ---- #Looks Like Trump is the Reason the CDC Continues to Malfunction.
