Been reported that the virus destroys your lungs. Once that happens, I'm not sure how much good the ventilators are.

Crazy story from New Orleans. Severe lung damage in folks in their 40s, ventilators on highest settings and they still gasp for air. Pink frothy secretions in breathing tubes. Running out of PPE.

I'm not saying this didn't happen, but ProPublica has an agenda, and everything they post is always "sources kept anonymous to protect them from retribution"

I'm not usually one to claim bullsh*t on articles like this, but yeah, something about that interview feels off. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's as simple as the guy doesn't sound like a typical doctor, or maybe it's just that it reads a little too sensational. I know we've heard about lung failure in cases, but reports like this seem like they'd be all over the news by now, considering how graphic that sounds. Either way, I'm skeptical. Or... in denial. Because that is truly terrifying, like out of a movie or something.
Bear in mind, every digit in the death total is a person, a Life that will be missed by others. There's been too much talk on here about managing old and young and trading "cattle". A life is a life is a life.
I thought the same. Surprised to hear this wasn't the level of lockdown they were already under.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this ProPublica article and the story from Pg 545 of this thread (see quote below) are "connected" in some way.....

No kidding. Terrible reporting
"I feel like I am dying but I don't have the test results so I must be fine. I think I will bake... Achhh, thud."

ProPublica is nothing but a Soros funded liberal mouthpiece posing as a news outlet.
It's other funding sources read like a who's who of liberal organizations.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Damn.

Some good news/bad news from the numbers sites.
worldometers cuts off their stuff at midnight UTC, but still lets the numbers stack up in the US, then rolls some of them over to the next day.
So grand totals for 3/21 UTC were:
4824 new cases (14% decrease) and 46 deaths (down 3 from previous day). Cases are most likely random fluctuation (weekend related?), but nice to see it down, and 46 deaths is simply great news.
Unfortunately, with the UTC day only 5 hours old, we're already at 46 deaths on the 3/22 tally. Don't be shocked if we hit 100 today.

It's not fake news nor is the image fake. They just selected a stock image of one of the drugs. Here is the link to the Daily Mail article they used as the source.Premium said:C@LAg said:the picture was added by the news site . ask them.Premium said:Rapier108 said:

The US reporting has been sporadic but seems to trend heavily to reporting a lot of the deaths at night.

The number of "severe" cases for the US has been showing 64 for days. This number was incorrect/not updated. It has finally been updated to 708.
Thanks and apologies for the misunderstanding!
