Quote HistoryQuoted: 41 with no underlying conditions that they are aware of https://kdvr.com/news/coronavirus/41-year-old-el-paso-county-deputy-dies-from-covid-19/ They estimate actual cases could be as much as 10x the reported cases. No underlying conditions beyond being (medically) morbidly obese, you mean? Being severely overweight routinely leads to complications that make illnesses worse. There's no such thing as being "fat and healthy" despite what plastering land whales all over Sports Illustrated would have us believe. |

Another case of “lack of underlying health conditions” except obesity. Why are some news outlets refusing to acknowledge that being obese is going to dramatically affect your chances of survival if you get this? Look at what’s happening in New Orleans. |

My alarmist friend said our Colorado hospitals are being overrun with Covid-19 patients. SO I did 5 minutes of research.
Currently hospitalized patients: 710 Number of Hospital Beds in Colorado: estimated 12,000+* Occupation rate of covid patients: about 6% *Was 11,227 in 2017, before the huge hospital boom we've been having. |

Dozens of businesses have closed permanently because of the statewide shutdown. It remains to be seen if it was the right choice.
Colorado Case Summary (Updated 4/2/20 at 4:00 p.m.) Note: This summary only includes data through 4/1 and does not reflect cases since then. 3,728 cases* 710 hospitalized 51 counties 20,411 people tested (Correction 4/2) 97 deaths 21 outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities As of right now- overreaction. But we'll see. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ICU beds are full. In some cases, they are doubling up rooms. Thanks, I was just wondering about FTC area. My buddy is a surgeon here in Littleton and was sick for about 10 days before he was hospitalized with Chinese flu. It was rough for just over a week and he is now doing better. 56 years old and good health/ good shape. Drinks too much with me, but does not smoke.  Always has high endurance when we mountain bike. Makes me realize this is nothing to play around with.

The IHME model indicates our peak has passed. State officials say, Nope, not even close.
"The differences in the models is driven in part by the type of data they use in their projections. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model largely relies on death and hospitalization data. Whereas the state’s model relies on case data." Now, that sounds informative, but I don't know what the distinction really means. https://www.timescall.com/2020/04/07/colorado-coronavirus-covid-model-predictions/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nuts! That is so screwy. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Someone got written up for bringing in their own PPE as well. Nuts! That is so screwy. The reason was that they accused this employee of stealing PPE at an earlier date and bringing it back in because of the shortage. The staff member just went out and bought the same type of mask as the hospital so that they would have an equal amount of protection and not stand out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: that guy didn't keel over dead from a fucking cold. he was 41, in reasonable enough shape (to pass the yearly sherrif's exam), his chance of dying in a normal year was minimal. After I posted this I read further through the thread and almost deleted my post because there were several other posts making the same point and it was redundant. I obviously didn't, but my point is that I am not the only one who has read up on risk factors. Being obese greatly increases your risk factor of succumbing to Covid-19. The article said he didn't have any underlying health issues, which based on that picture, was clearly false. I am not picking on the guy. I am pointing out that the media reports of "healthy" people dying seem to be misleading at best. ETA: I don't know anything about the yearly Sheriff's exam. What constitutes a passing mark? |

Not even trying to be combative. The only "assumption" that I made is that he COULD have very well been low grade type two diabetic without realizing it which would have increased his risk factors even more than just being overweight. If he wasn't then he wasn't, but it isn't a stretch to assume that someone that overweight doesn't maintain a healthy blood sugar. I don't claim to know anything about his health, but the picture clearly shows him being overweight. Being overweight is a severe risk factor for Covid-19 by itself. |

I work with a few hospitals, and was in Durango last week. There and Cortez hospitals are ghost towns. 1 Covid patient, each I think. All ramped up and ready for more patients, but let's hope they don't get any more. They are probably hurting for income as nothing else is going on at the hospitals.

Our current modus operandi appears to be house a covid patient in ICU, put on a ventilator. However, they may be doing more harm than good. The majority of people put on a ventilator, end up dying anyway. As much as 82% in New York.

It said at least 50 cases, two deaths and the company had said that they were going to be spending $1,000,000 testing but employees got a text yesterday stating that they would not be testing. Meat packers have been screwing cattle farmers. Now they are apparently screwing their employees. Find a cattle farmer and buy direct from the source. |
