Thailand just got hammered. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1950752/covid-19-cases-trigger-inquiry So far, the grand total has been 3227 positives, 58 deaths.

After going through the usual morass of news sources this AM. Not being political one way or the other. It would be refreshing, more to the point unprecedented, to get just a few days in a row of purely scientific C-19 info and reports without having to sort through a half million tons of...

That constant 'big brother' presence... i't's often subtle, but constantly there in your mind. I suppose coming from a free and open country like America makes me much more aware of it than most of the people who were born and raised under it. Something like the Wuhan lockdown shoves it into...

Wuhan - C-19 addendum. Lockdown as done in the US, and lockdown as they did in Wuhan, would be decidedly different. I've been in Wuhan a couple of times. The place is like Manhattan Monday morning rush hour but 24/7. Driving there is ... well, you may forget where third and the higher gears are...

Something that bears mentioning. North Thailand, Chiang Mai to be precise, is the out of country Chinese playground. Thailand has capitalized on Chinese tourism. No visa required and around $100 gets a round trip ticket and a week or two in a nice hotel. When the virus hit in China everyone was...

Actually, it appears they did clamp down, but in their typical style. First major police operation is roadblocks, always. Undoubtedly that's what they did. Wuhan is the crossroads of central China and there was definitely no major spreading to other provinces. Word would have gone out. Then the...

Hopkins +. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 This web site gets it's data from Hopkins and all over. Not as accurate, more of a ballpark. Continuous updated. I do cross checking randomly with other sites and they hit it pretty...

Yup. It's only in only spot in California. Nowhere else in the country. 😂 As I said, any many other reasons. The US is also the #1 contributor to world wide aid being another. Lots and lots and lots of reasons the place is under a microscope. But being the epicenter of a world wide pandemic is...

You don't? Let's see. 1. American has been the #1 trend setter for the world for quite a few years. In part thanks to Hollywood. 2. America has a habit of telling other countries what to do and how to live that far exceeds the British Empire colonization during it's heyday. 3. The world economy...

Well, I'll toss out one reason why Americans are in such a hurry to reopen the economy. Affluenza. All those motorhomes, RVs and other non essential toys just sitting there. As for demanding the right to not wear masks. ......................... It's a little funny. For around 15 years doing...

Look, it's simply about understanding, fathoming where a person is coming from and trying to grasp a different point of view. The wearing masks and social distancing thing is a perfect example. People getting belligerent to the point of demanding others remove their masks. Average person who...

By all means, get on with your lives. But don't be a vector. That's the problem. Deliberately not wearing masks and practicing social distancing converts an individual with established rights and freedoms into a negligent irresponsible potential vector

Economies can recover. Dead bodies, not so much.

Do what Thailand did? Government jumped on it, masks and social distancing mandatory the first of March, with people being arrested for non compliance. Almost all businesses shuttered, Stay at home order in effect. Near 100% compliance. Customers at the stores that were opened were turned away...

You do know that it was common for funeral parlors to operate ambulance services, yes? And once upon a time it was a common practice to pick up the dead bodies first. More money in it. https://funeralambulance.com/ BTW, I haven't watched the brainwash tube in well over 30 years. Excuse me for...

Emergency?

Most clearly remembered. 1960's. No standing orders. All rescue actions only by physician orders over radio. Radio failure common. Man down, side of road, thrown from vehicle. No radio contact. Grab and run. Partially severed left leg, A bleed. About 10 minutes to hospital. Died en route...

I think we all can hear a physicians review; "So you have a displaced FX. In the off chance that the artery was only constricted and not lacerated, which it was, you chose to return the arm to a neutral position?"

I just fond the original question in an old EMT course. The mouth is more proximal than the nose. They just changed the wording to trip people up on the test.

NOT true. Incorrect terminology in the question. Inappropriate would be a better term. Proximal? Try a different correct but inappropriate, the nose is anterior to the eyes. o_O
