lazarus Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just in time for ski season... ⛷️ All of Switzerland’s intensive care beds are full. Switzerland has reached capacity in its intensive care wards, a national medical association said Tuesday. The group urged people who are especially vulnerable to the coronavirus to consider writing a living will, specifying whether they would want to be put on life support. All of the country’s 876 adult intensive care beds, which are certified by the Swiss Society of Intensive Care Medicine, “are currently completely full,” the society said in a statement on Tuesday. The country, with a population of 8.5 million, has seen new infections explode recently, with more than 83,500 reported since Nov. 3, according to government figures. In that same period, 986 people have died. Switzerland has been reluctant to introduce far-reaching measures to prevent the spread of the virus, and images from the country’s ski resorts have shown people packed together, most without face masks, as they wait for lifts up the mountain, despite a requirement to wear nose and mouth coverings in crowded public spaces... https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/11/17/world/covid-19-coronavirus?type=styln-live-updates&label=coronavirus&index=0&action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#chuck-grassley-the-oldest-senate-republican-tests-positive-for-the-virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 1,707 new Covid-19 deaths were reported Tuesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That's the highest daily death toll since May 14. And it's only going to get worse, said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at George Washington University School of Medicine. "The horrible death count that we saw yesterday in the United States ... reflects the number of people who were being infected three weeks ago -- two to three weeks ago, because that's the lag," Reiner said Wednesday...

Skalliwag Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Well,I spoke too soon. Goverment stopped all unessential travel today here in BC. Looks like we are heading for another lockdown I would say. My gym that I own has been a big loss this year financially,but the good news for us is,we are just about to open a new Liquor Store.😁 all in all to be honest,we’ve been lucky here.It fucking sucks,but I for one,can’t wait for the vaccine to start.Get it to the old fuckers first.....and I mean all,of them. Comoared to the rest of the world,so far we’ve done ok. If we can just hang on till March,April....it should be good by then?
