New York neurosurgeon who separated conjoined twins dies from complications of Covid-19

 

 "Dr. James T. Goodrich, the neurosurgeon who allowed CNN inside a remarkable operation to separate twins Jadon and Anias McDonald, died on Monday after complications related to Covid-19, according to the hospital where he worked."

 "The hospital described Goodrich as a "humble and truly caring man" who "did not crave the limelight and was beloved by his colleagues and staff."

 

  Italy had over 60 Dr.'s die!

A police page posted about a pastor who was arrested in Florida because he still held services on Sunday. Course some posted that the government is taking away their first amendment rights. 
 

Ooo, I know I shouldn’t have posted this, but these people are so dumb.
 

 

“A pastor/minister/priest of all people should know that Jesus taught his disciples to show love for others. Putting people purposely in harms way is not showing love to anyone. It’s not constitutional rights here. It’s common sense and thinking about how one could show honor and respect for others lives at this time by listening to safety protocols. One can still read their Bible and do Bible study at home. No one is taking away ones right to read and continue to learn about what the scriptures say. In fact more people should do so.”

 

Wow! I just hit post and I got 2 ♥️ ♥️ already. 😳

RVs get new role as 'quarantine and isolation housing' and for homeless

 

"The recreational vehicle or RV – trailers and motor homes – may be a symbol of America's love of the open road and the pleasure of getting away. But in recent months, this state has been putting them to work to solve serious social problems – first as a temporary solution to the burgeoning homeless problem and now as part of the war against COVID-19. "

 "The motor homes parked at Dockweiler, a stretch of asphalt for RVs where the din of jets taking off from Los Angeles International Airport can drown out the roar of the surf, were set up as an emergency measure by Los Angeles County."

"We need places where people can be safely isolated from the public and even from their families," said County Supervisor Janice Hahn in a statement. "We are using the Dockweiler RV Park for this purpose and we are actively identifying more sites like it for quarantine and isolation housing across the county."

It's helpful to read the whole article.

“For me, the question is not how far the germs can travel, but how far can they travel before they’re no longer a threat. The smaller the germ particles, the lower the risk that they might infect somebody who would breathe them in or get them stuck in their nose or their mouth,” Pottinger told USA TODAY.  

 

“The biggest threat — we think — with the coronavirus is actually the larger droplets. Droplets of saliva, snot, spit. Droplets that almost look like rain, if you will, when someone sneezes. Those droplets are large enough that gravity still acts on them. Usually, within about six feet of leaving somebody’s body, those larger, more infectious droplets will drop to the ground. That’s where the six-foot rule comes from.”

 

If the coronavirus were effective at ranges of up to 27 feet, as Bourouiba contends in her research, Pottinger said he believes more people would be sick. 

 

“Now, we don’t know exactly what that number is, but it’s probably more than a single virus. If you think about it, if this really traveled very efficiently by air, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Everybody would know it’s true because everybody would be infected. If it was a 27-foot radius that was a high risk to somebody, this would be a totally different conversation. It’s not.”

Oh boy.....this is a prime example of why you do not put your trust in Earthly governments in a time of great crisis.

Belarus’ president dismisses coronavirus risk, encourages citizens to drink vodka and visit saunas.

Indications now emerging that the isolation/quarantine wave is to be followed by the divorce wave.

 

Russia has issued a moratorium on weddings and divorces through June 1.

China is already seeing a spike in divorces.

 

When the family unit crumbles, what is left of society ?

Still no Iron county ‘yet’, but I’m sure it’s coming.  Not taking any chances, as much as possible anyway. Seems like it’s everywhere.

Saw the mayor's comments in online news. Other areas are having similar situations such as Israel and India.

Let me just say that this situation has made me decide that once we are able to congregate again, I am making it my first goal to move to a foreign language group ASAP. Without a doubt.
