People keep saying that other areas are going to become hot zones or hot spots. Why? If these areas have been in lockdown or even just social distancing, why would they all of a sudden become hot spots? People keep saying that and they’re saying it about our area too. The thing is though that Wisconsin and Illinois had “detected” cases before New York did. Worldmeters.info lists the first 20 “confirmed” cases in the US. 2 of those were in Illinois and I believe the 12th case in the US was in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin case recovered (she calls it a dehumanizing experience) and wrote an article about her experience. The thing to point out is that this was before any social distancing or basically any precautions were being taken even by medical personnel. She went in to the ER when she started getting sick (which was btw 2 days after she returned from Portugal by way of 17 hour layover in Amsterdam) and was sent home. Over the course of her illness she called 911 TWICE and was transported by ambulance back to the ER. At least two different ambulance crews in addition to the people in the ER waiting room plus any ER personnel were all exposed to her multiple times. Despite this, as of yesterday the reported number of COVID deaths in Wisconsin is 281 for the entire state. That positive test was FEBRUARY 5th. I’m not disputing that this is contagious and that there are segments of the population that are at much greater risk than others. I’m just asking what is the logic that says that a “hot spot” will happen here 6 weeks after it was here (WITHOUT PRECAUTIONS or social distancing in place)?
Sad story in the news here yesterday was about a couple that died within a couple hours of each other in the hospital. Both had tested positive for COVID-19 and been sent home to quarantine. He then fell and hit his head so both were admitted to the hospital and they both died there. The story said that he didn’t die from COVID but from “head trauma”. He was 94 and she was 93.

Seems like people don’t die on Sundays...or people reporting deaths wait until Tuesday to catchup. It does seem to be trending downward, but that is probably because we are seeing NYC numbers trending downward and the rest of the country will start to be the hot zones now. -Sean On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 7:47 AM <ch...@wbmfg.com<mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> wrote: [image] -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
