Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 New wave of infections threatens to collapse Japan hospitals Quote Hospitals in Japan are increasingly turning away sick people as the country struggles with surging coronavirus infections and its emergency medical system collapses. In one recent case, an ambulance carrying a man with a fever and difficulty breathing was rejected by 80 hospitals and forced to search for hours for a hospital in downtown Tokyo that would treat him. Another feverish man finally reached a hospital after paramedics unsuccessfully contacted 40 clinics. The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine and the Japanese Society for Emergency Medicine say many hospital emergency rooms are refusing to treat people including those suffering strokes, heart attacks and external injuries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 https://www.brusselstimes.com/all-news/business/106942/international-interest-for-antwerp-companys-corona-armband/ Quote International companies have begun to show an interest in an armband developed for workers which helps enforce social distancing rules. The armband was developed by Rombit, an Antwerp company that specialises in digital applications for maritime services, port terminals and petrochemical plants. It consists of a bracelet based on an existing safety armband, which gives off a signal when it comes within a certain distance of another bracelet. Calibrated to a distance of 1.5m, the Covid Radius bracelet ensures no breach of social distancing rules in the workplace, even inadvertently. The bracelet works without an internet connection. The only requirement is that every worker must wear one. The company stresses, in addition, that the armband offers complete privacy: no information is transmitted to the employer regarding the location of the wearer at any time. It can, however, store information on which other workers came within a distance of 2.5m, even if not involved in any alarm, to help with contact tracing in the event someone becomes infected.

ort Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Based on the posts from my right wing facebook friends, this is going to get super ugly super fast. I know that many people are quite stupid, but many of these people are especially stupid. I know there are a lot of left wing dingbat morons, there isn't a political divide amongst intelligence... but right wing morons are a special breed. Truly a different kind of dipshit. They almost delight in being dumb. It's like a point of pride for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 There has always been tension between rigid ideology and reality. Libertarianism always had trouble dealing with climate change because the market, absent a carbon tax, would do nothing about it. The solution usually was to simply deny climate change was happening. How could it be? The market takes care of everything. In this case, the chronic nature of climate change made it easy to bend the facts and confuse people because in order to firmly conclude it's happening, you have to believe experts and charts. Now we see the ideology being brought to its knees by SARS-CoV-2, an acute health issue that people can see with their own eyes. You would think this would be a point where people got off the crazy bus, but it appears that even still people will cling to ideology even as a virus is killing them right in front of their eyes.

ort Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Libertarianism literally makes no sense at all... like, I don't get how anyone who isn't a total simpering git can't see how it would play out if we lived in their ideal version of libertarian society. We would have zero freedom in 10 year or less. We would be ruled by a single corporation and no one would have anything. Without government regulations we would all be so mega fucked. It takes a special kind of willful ignorance to not understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I talk to my teams in LATAM they talk about it’s worse than reported in the news. Lots of dead in homes with no safe removal options, few being tallied in the Covid death count. In my Tuesday meeting they talked about their governments possibly opening the economies soon. But the people are ready to get back to work, just for the sake of having work.
