What Are The Implications With A Dire Nationwide Shortage Of Thermometers (human)

Update April 6

I feel like I am living a alternate reality. Am I dreaming... So the Keene hospital on their special covid line called me back this morning with a few more questions. I told her I feel better this morning and if anything more develops I give them a call back. She thought it was a good plan. I told her about not finding a thermometer anywhere. She said, "oh, the area has been out of thermometer fors a month now"...    

*Can you even imagine a scenario six months ago where we'd have a nationwide shortage of thermometers? Where do you supposed most thermometers are made? My guess China.  

***I have come down with some suspicious symptoms similar to carnivorous.  So I called the special coronavirus line at the Keene hospital. I have utterly minor symptoms. Basically the nice nurse said take two aspirin and call your doctor in the morning. She said I should be monitoring my temperature. By feel, nobody thinks I have any elevated temperature. I feel fine. So I traveled the local drug stores and supermarkets all around me looking for a thermometer. None to be found and they all say they have been out for weeks.

 

Special Rules For Nuclear Plants During the Coronavirus Era

The really is, the grid load is a lot less than normal with the broad national shutdown. We don't need any nukes running at this time because the grid load is so low. It seems some nuclear plants are coronavirus hot spots. A lot of new and emerging issues with the industry, like before we make coronavirus regulations and notifications are made...the NRC will allow some bad plants to operate in a atrocious manner with a lot people out of work. Then a report will get written up or the information will get disclosed to outsiders....that a bad utility is taking a reckless chance. Then the outsiders will be outraged at the NRC. 

Something new like this, they should be writing up detailed reports on on infections, test and anything about carnivorous that effects their plants. Everything associated with overtime. The top manages should be carefully reading everything even the most insignificant events and trends. This kind of "novel" report event would be invaluable for future events.

As always, a bad plants might not have enough employees for no other reason than to save a few pennies to boost profits before this pandemic. It takes a lot of time to train certain employees. So a bad plant might be down a lot employees before virus strikes, then safety really declines for each new sick employee.

NRC to Consider COVID-19 Exemptions for Nuclear Plant Work-Hour Controls

Alternative fatigue-management controls, for example, should ensure employees do not work more than 16 work-hours in any 24-hour period and not more than 86 work-hours in any 7-day period, excluding shift turnover; a minimum 10-hour break is provided between successive work periods; 12 hour shifts are limited to not more than 14 consecutive days; and a minimum of six days off are provided in any 30-day period.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on March 28 told industry that it is prepared to grant requests from individual nuclear generators for exemptions from work-hour controls specified in its rules to help provide more flexibility to the sector as it grapples with workforce issues related to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The objective of the exemptions from Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 26.205(d)(1)-(7)) is to ensure that the “control of work hours and management of worker fatigue do not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources to most effectively manage the impacts of the COVID-19 [public health emergency (PHE)] on maintaining the safe operation of these facilities,” NRC Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Ho Nieh wrote in letters sent to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), Entergy Nuclear, and Florida Power and Light over the weekend.
Nieh wrote that the exemptions will apply narrowly—only to nuclear plants whose staffing levels are affected by the pandemic. Licensees must also show they can no longer meet the work-hour controls outlined in the rules, and they can institute site-specific administrative controls for pandemic fatigue-management for personnel as outlined in the rules....

Corona

So the corona is the upper atmosphere of the sun. In our pictures of the coronavirus, all we are seeing is the surface of the virus. Does this imply there is a huge surprise inside the coronavirus.

What does the sun mean to you? It is the source of life on this planet.  It implies what is inside the coronavirus has the power of the sun. Is it good or bad?

Coronavirus Could kill 81,000 in U.S.

I feel US Containment is really weak. We as a nation love print millions of useless words and see ourselves on TV. I think our current containment at best might turn our infection curve, but it will settle at a lower level. The lower level will still massively overwhelm hospitals and it will lengthen the time it puts unconstrained pressure on the system. It will lengthen the economic startup.

ABOUT OUR HUMANITARIAN CRISES COVERAGEFrom major disaster, conflicts and under-reported stories, we shine a light on the world’s hotspots

By Carl O'Donnell

March 26 (Reuters) - The coronavirus pandemic could kill more than 81,000 people in the United States in the next four months and may not subside until June, according to a data analysis done by University of Washington School of Medicine.

The number of hospitalized patients is expected to peak nationally by the second week of April, though the peak may come later in some states. Some people could continue to die of the virus as late as July, although deaths should be below epidemic levels of 10 per day by June at the latest, according to the analysis.

The analysis, using data from governments, hospitals and other sources, predicts that the number of U.S. deaths could vary widely, ranging from as low as around 38,000 to as high as around 162,000.

The variance is due in part to disparate rates of the spread of the virus in different regions, which experts are still struggling to explain, said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study...

*Truckers Wary of New York Deliveries Create Headache for GrocersBy 
Matthew Boyle

March 26, 2020, 4:56 PM EDT

Delivering food to New York City’s supermarkets isn’t easy even in normal times. Now, it’s become a supply chain conundrum that’s testing the nerves of grocers, truckers and manufacturers alike.

Some truckers are refusing to carry orders into the city and surrounding suburbs like New Rochelle that have been hard hit by the coronavirus, even as demand for groceries is double or triple normal levels as shoppers stockpile soup and other everyday goods.

There is no evidence that food is growing scarce in the city. But one index, which measures loads of all types of goods destined for Brooklyn that were rejected by shippers, has tripled compared with the same time last year, reflecting carriers’ inability or unwillingness to haul loads into the epicenter of the outbreak.

The White House’s call for all those leaving New York City to self-quarantine for 14 days has spooked and confused some drivers, according to people monitoring shipments, while delivery curfews and requests to register “essential employees” have created additional friction. Some warehouse operators are even insisting on taking truck drivers’ temperatures as they pull into depots.

Their infection quotient to me seems really high. They got company outsiders coming in and out all the time like the people who maintain their machines. They got upper managers from this facility going all over the place and their corporate managers coming in.  They have a lot of tractor trailers with drivers coming in and out. God knows where they have been.    

Update

So, anyways, this is me holding HCP accountable for the coronavirus hot spot they created in Hinsdale NH. Our governor is no better that Trump. He closed the state much too late. His justification for delaying the call is based on ideological considerations, not science and human safety. We are heading for an astonishing high level of infections and deaths.   

29 new COVID-19 cases reported; models show up to 50 percent NH infection rate

I probably was at HCP 1.5 hours before the governor called it.  

Thursday updates: Sununu issues stay-at-home order; Portsmouth firefighters plead for PPEs

Update

The greater truth, it is too late. The carnivorous has been cycling around this local community for weeks. We are two or three weeks away from NYC. 



























***Their car lots are full. I just went into their main office and raised my voice about how many people they have killed. How many employees they got there? This is a Chinese company. I never made a threat to anyone. I might have screamed and hollered about them killing us. I wanted to make a big scene to the front office, and I did. I wanted them to feel threaten by my fake emotional display equivalent to our national emergency and pandemic. I made certain they would call the police, and a bunch of them ran out out of the office to get a description of my car and possibly get my licence plates. I yelled my name loudly to everyone. 

I scared the crap out of them! Just like coronavirus is doing to all of us!

What side do you think cops going to be on?

There are more than 23,000 coronavirus cases in the US and 295 deaths

By Shane Harris

March 21, 2020 at 9:03 p.m. EDT

Global anxiety over the coronavirus centered on Europe on Saturday, where Italy is bearing the brunt of the pandemic’s unceasing spread. Italian officials announced that 793 people had succumbed to the virus in a single day. The staggering number brought the nation’s total dead to more than 4,800, the most for a single country.

As death tolls mount across the continent, Italy has become a symbol of the enormous challenges facing public health authorities in Europe and in the United States, who are struggling to contain the virus.

Eleven days into Italy’s nationwide lockdown, which includes travel restrictions and the closure of most stores apart from groceries and pharmacies, the number of confirmed cases still soared, with 6,557 new cases since Friday. Hospitals and morgues were overwhelmed. The government has reported 53,578 total cases, concentrated in the northern part of the country.
AD.

Italy’s struggle to keep up with the virus offered a glimpse into what U.S. health officials fear could be ahead in New York and elsewhere: shortages of respirators, basic medical equipment and beds in intensive-care units.

All Advertisements On the TV Stations, Radios and Cables Should Be Suspended For The Duration

It is a war to mobilize our and we are in a grave nation emergency. We should repetitively fill up the empty spaces with

I give you an example. We could endlessly humiliate the behavior of our children on the beeches of Florida. We could fill up all the advertisement space in the vicinity of these beeches with warnings and generational humiliation. Let not forget about Facebook and the other social media. Talk tough to them and talk about death all the time. It could be the example for the nation!    

coronavirus information and public service notifications. We should mobilized the ad infrastructure to product public service information, notification and best advice.

What more could symbolize are dire war stance than to remove these worthless advertisement from our radios, social media, cable, TV stations and networks in the greater service to our to our nation. 80% of the advertisements should come from the USA government! 

Social Distancing: Brattleboro Are Killing Their Children and Elderly !

Which one of these kids and adults won't be here next year!!!

You get it, nobody had the guts to put a end of it and tell management. We are all thoughtless robots!!!

Brattleboro has always had been intentional ignorant people. They are destabilizing their fragile hospital. The good news, there is going at lot less of them and their children in a year. Where the fuck is school management? We are seeing deaths and the collapse of economies all over the world...do these ignorant people have cable. Oh, this is going to a hot spot in the near future. We need the military to come in and completely isolate Brattleboro because they can't even protect their children. One mistake like this can and will say 50 people. 

Coronavirus Pandemic: The Best Outcome

U.S. Virus Plan Anticipates 18-Month Pandemic and Widespread Shortages

The 100-page federal plan laid out a grim prognosis and outlined a response that would activate agencies across the government.

WASHINGTON — A federal government plan to combat the coronavirus warned policymakers last week that a pandemic “will last 18 months or longer” and could include “multiple waves,” resulting in widespread shortages that would strain consumers and the nation’s health care system.

“Shortages of products may occur, impacting health care, emergency services, and other elements of critical infrastructure,” the plan warned. “This includes potentially critical shortages of diagnostics, medical supplies (including PPE and pharmaceuticals), and staffing in some locations.” P.P.E. refers to personal protective equipment.

The plan continued: “State and local governments, as well as critical infrastructure and communications channels, will be stressed and potentially less reliable. These stresses may also increase the challenges of getting updated messages and coordinating guidance to these jurisdictions directly.”

Why Isn't Our NH Governor Interested In The Capabilities Of Out Hospital 

Is Keene and Brattleboro A Month Away From Italy, or much Sooner

Obviously there is a delay to us from the big cities around us... with us getting the full brunt of the coronavirus Tsunami. No doubt our doctors and state administrators put us locally at a disadvantage with getting tested for coronavirus.

Cheshire Medical: About Fucking Time!

March 18

I wondering if this guy walked up stairs to the doctor's office and back. He might have had a off site doctor and I sure the hospital did the testing. 

So you have that Keene state employee and now this Granite group person confirmed positive for coronavirus. This virus has been circulating in Keene unseen for weeks. This guy must have tested in the hospital.      

An employee of The Granite Group's Keene branch has tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19, according to a news release Thursday from the Concord-based wholesaler of plumbing, heating and other supplies.

The employee was feeling ill last week, was sent home and hasn't been at work since March 11. The employee will stay in self-isolation until cleared by medical professionals, the company said.

Keene State under 'extended curtailment' as faculty member tests positive for COVID-19

Keene State College students will no longer return to campus next month, after a faculty member tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, President Melinda Treadwell announced in a video address sent to faculty, staff and students Tuesday night. The message will also be sent to parents, according to college spokeswoman Kelly Ricaurte.

Prior to learning of the test results, the college alerted 66 people who could have potentially had contact with her as a precaution, in accordance with recommendations from the N.H. Department of Health and Human Services, Treadwell said.

"The increasing number of cases and new evidence of community-based transmission raises concern that the COVID-19 outbreak is intensifying in New Hampshire," said State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan in the release. " ... We know that this novel coronavirus can be spread very easily through close contact, and the virus can be spread even when people are having very mild early symptoms of illness."

***This hospital and all hospitals are particularly dangerous during this times. Their big money and the best lawyers have paid off or have disproportion influence with the politicians. They made laws where outsiders can't see what is going on a the hospital, and mostly so they won't get sued. 

Did you assholes put a end to all elective procedures and surgeries? 

Are you measuring the temperature of everyone entering the hospital? One infected person walking around your facility would severely degrade the capabilities of your hospital? 
   

If these guys were patriotic and cared for the community...they would publicly disclose their top ten weak links. You would public advertise your "top ten" weak links allowing the state system and politicians to see you vulnerabilities. Tell them this is what we need. Please help us get through this? 

Like protective clothing, ventilators, and sufficient nurses, doctors, clinical people and quality lab people. I won't even talk about coronavirus test. 

What has been the capacity of the hospital for last month...what percentage of beds on average have been filled? What is your surge capacity?

Outsiders need to know about you vulnerabilities so we can all help you!

Cheshire Medical Center is barring all visitors from its Keene campus to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19.


The restrictions include patient rooms, general waiting areas, emergency departments, clinics and hospital cafe, Matthew Barone, spokesman for the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health affiliate, said in an email Tuesday morning.


Those with doctor's appointments are still able to keep appointments at this time, but only the patients themselves will be allowed into the facility.

1919 Spanish Flu

You know, you can't trust any information concerning the Spanish flu. The US gov had a pandemic stratify to lie about the suffering and deaths in this contagion. Our national government forced the states, cities and towns to severely minimize the extent of the pandemic. Our states, towns and cities had little required transparency. The newspapers didn't have the power of government transparency. They didn't make records like we do today. The differences between suffering and extents of the deaths between cities was I believe just a matter of who was a better at lying and minimizing. A matter of competitive advantage. It is disgusting we are taking the written information about the Spanish flu as factual and you are just too ignorant and lazy to put those times in contextuality of those days and our primitive government. Remember our society's interconnectivity was primitive at those times too.

WHO considers ‘airborne precautions’ for medical staff after study shows coronavirus can survive in air

New research out of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finds that the novel coronavirus HCoV-19 (SARS-2) causing the COVID-19 pandemic can survive for days on plastic and stainless steel and even lasts up to a full day on a cardboard surface.

“We found that viable virus could be detected in aerosols up to 3 hours post aerosolization, up to 4 hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel,” reads a new study posted online Friday.
