Unfortunately, without the presence of a working vaccine, the numbers will continue to rise until we hit our peak.
I work directly with these patients in the ICU and have gained some knowledge regarding caring the persons infected.
A few things I've picked up after having conversations with pulmonologists.
1. When someone is intubated and put on a ventilator, the change of survival is around 50%. We are now doing everything we can to prevent someone from being intubated, even if that means letting someones oxygen saturation levels drop to around 88% (normal is 93-100%)
2. Many tests are definitely questionable. If it walks like a duck, etc...but tests come back negative?!
3. Most of our patients right now are doing "well". They're definitely not at their best but are taking baby steps in the right direction.
Another thing the MSM will tell you is that hospitals are reaching their capacity with the influx of COVID patients. This is true and factual.
My own opinion, however , is to look at the % of acutely ill patients that are sick and the mortality % of the covid patients. That gives a much clearer picture of what many people are wondering.
I can tell you that when COVID patients start to deteriorate, it really hits the fan. Insane ventilator settings just to keep oxygen levels high enough to survive. I think I read multiple articles about clotting factors being thrown off and multiple clots forming within these patients. I haven't seen this symptom yet, but I haven't taken care of every single COVID patient here.
The main killer, from my own experience, is ARDS.
In my own opinion, the peak is inevitable without the presence of a vaccine. We should all do our own part in helping to prevent the spread of it, but definitely not shut everything down. The initial shut down allowed us to not get obliterated with deaths and to learn more about the virus. We are still continuing to learn more every day. I was one of those people who were steadfast about not wearing masks, simply because cloth will not protect you from covid that is coughed in the air by someone. But after reading more, the masks blocks a significant amount of spray from getting airborne if someone is to cough or sneeze.
Sorry for the long post/rant. Tight lines everyone. |

| I am curious where you get the stat that hospitals are full or at their capacity? According to CDC data hospitalizations for covid are way down across the country. In particular, CDC data as of today, indicates that only 10% of hospitalizations across the State of Texas (it has one of the higher State rates at this time) are covid patients. If the hospitals are full, then they were near 90% capacity without covid (which would be a separate issue) or the CDC is incorrect. Thanks. |

This is the information from the Texas Covid site:https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/0d8bdf9be927459d9cb11b9eaef6101f
It looks like about 20-25% of the beds may be available. |

| I have strongly suspected it is a bio weapon from git go. At least in Nueces county new cases should go down this week. Seems they had to cancel several testing roundups since they can |

This is politics.
Yes there is a disease that kills some people.
But when your cure causes suicides to skyrocket way beyond the death rate of the disease, it is no longer about saving lives, it is politics.
When paid rioters get a pass but law abiding citizens get their rights violated, it is politics.
So, how many of you keyboard warriors are going to help TBOB (Take Back Our Beaches) this weekend?
How many local businesses will you sit by and watch die before you act?

User name checks out.
But seriously, politics aside, suicide numbers and their exaggerations at this point, are not helpful.
The US, records about 45,000 suicides per year. In order for the suicide rate to just equal that of Covid 19's death rate, let alone all of the other health damage, it would need to be more than 5 times it's present rate, and that is a very conservative figure. So I find your claim, on it's face, dubious, especially without citations.
From the American Psychological Association:
But it will be a while before COVID-19 |

Stick to the subject, Jiggyz.
We are talking about here. Nueces County.
There are multiple suicides and/or attempts EVERY DAY right now.
People have been pulled off the Harbor Bridge multiple times each week.
Changing the subject to confuse the facts just shows the fallacy of your position.
These orders will cause more crowding at the few access points remaining open, so it

I am not sure what happened to the bulk of my post which included citations and plea for for awareness when it comes to suicide prevention. The whole post showed up immediately after posting and there was nothing negative or controversial in it, so I am not sure what is going on there. It also appears that some of your reply was truncated as well.
I can assure you that it was on topic, and if there is in fact a suicide problem in Nueces County, I would expect you as a concerned citizen, to throw some light on your position by at least citing some anecdotal evidence.
In my deleted initial response I showed my work and cited a credible and verifiable source that I am sorry was not showing up, tough it was not germane to Nueces County.
I realize this is a fishing forum, but the moderators saw fit to allow your comments on suicide to go unedited. All I am asking is for you to back up your initial statement re suicide. I intentionally stayed away from any political nuances and chose to actually stick to an important subject that I would hope is free from political interference. |

| Wow! This CCP covid virus thing just got a lot worse here in CC and is getting out of hand, quickly! There are 362 new cases today which brings the total 2756 cases which represents more than an 1100% increase in 14 days! Anyone who thinks this is political or is not taking it seriously has terrible judgement or is just a foolish person. |

You ain't been here long enough to know I guess.. but you got punctuated. The site is finicky with punctuation from certain devices, especially if copied and pasted. Nothing to do with moderators.... or maybe it does and they've been screwing with us for years...

I agree with you 100% but I ain't gettin anywhere near the coast. Hell I wouldn't go down there on July 4th if there wasn't any Kung Flu. Think I just stay in the beautiful green hill country and drink beer in the shade on the back porch while grilling some sriracha beef ribs.

I also agree with this, no matter what the MSM BS feeds you. We saw a spike because all the 'protesting' began around the same time as re-opening. I'm going to go into a subject about why gun sales have been skyrocketing this year. It's something people don't like to talk about, but I will:
Hell, even before the "BLM" campaign started up again, they had protesters out on the streets 'protesting' the protesters that were protesting mask requirements and all that. You want to see hypocrisy in action? Just go to any protest hotspot. Just spoke to my friend in Austin, my old digs: He encountered a 'homeless' person that asked him to buy food, and when he refused, he was harassed and told by another 'homeless' to say it was for reparations. My friend and his family have been poorer than any white family I know for centuries; and I hale from Irish and Welsh potato farmers that grew and picked their own crops; long before that doing the same thing in France.
I've always wanted to live here, and now I do, but I saw this coming to Austin long before it actually happened. They are using a pandemic as an excuse for rebellion, and they've got Christians so scared they won't fight back. This IS the war the Bible foretold. The virus is just one of the many plagues. Arm up, Christian soldiers - this is only the beginning. His return will be very soon. I'm not afraid of what I say or do, and I'll be damned if I bow to anyone but Our Lord and Savior. I don't care about the color of my skin or anyone's. I don't care what they believe in. I don't care about their sexual preferences or orientation. I don't care how you make your living. But when you tread on me, there will be consequences.
I say this because the MSM and BLM are trying to make an example of the couple that rightfully defended their property in St. Louis, when 'protesters' broke the law and forcefully entered a PRIVATE neighborhood. At that point, just like when you block a public roadway, you're no longer protesting, you are rioting. And our police don't do a damn thing. Think your government is out to protect you? Nah. ARM UP.
Enough with this crap. I am among all of you, no matter what you believe, I will NEVER fire the first shot. I blend with the crowd intentionally, even wearing a mask and a smiling face beneath it. I just want to fish, work, and live my peaceful life. But like I said before - I WILL take action if anyone stands in front of me from doing any of those peaceful things, because I know my government won't.
Someone PLEASE give me a fishing report.
