COVID19 Observations from God's Country

1. It is awesome to see so many families on walks together on the weekends. Don't see that much these days as people are cramming in kid activity after kid activity on the weekends. Hopefully, this trend continues and families find joy in being together more often. Love seeing this!

1. Hospitalization Stats in Colorado. The number never goes down, yet the death count increases? That would imply that every one who is admitted to the hospital with this virus, stays forever or dies. That is not possible and it is simply not true. Some stays are for days, some stays are short. Some complete reporting would be appreciated.

1. Speaking of reporting, don't tell me that the experts can't come up with a 'recovered' stat. Why are they not releasing those numbers? If they can come up with a 'deaths' number, they can get the opposite.

1. The vast majority of people that are dying of 'COVID19' have had serious medical issues that were 'underlying.' Those underlying issues were the ultimate cause of the death–weakening the immune system so it couldn't fight the viral fight as well. I lost my mother to Lung Cancer in February. Had she contracted the virus, she would not have died from the virus, but from the cancer. Again, accurate reporting, instead of feeding fear, would be appreciated.

1. We have been on stay at home for 2 weeks now, yet the experts in this state say the 'wave' of sick people is coming anytime between April and July? The incubation period is 2 weeks, according to the experts. That again, makes no sense if you do the simple math. If the wave comes in May and June, the shutting down of the economy injuring March was a wasted effort at this point in time. The Denver Metro Area is a ghost town now, and has been for some time. The only place you find large numbers of people are grocery stores and the big box stores that remain open. The rate of infection has had to have slowed as less people are together over the last 2-3 weeks here. Yet, the experts say, the worst is on its way in 2-3 months? Hmmmm.

1. The reason for social distancing is so we don't infect the most vulnerable and cause an overwhelming of the medical facilities. I can respect that, but why did I get a text from an Urgent Care facility yesterday telling me that they were open for business and I could schedule an appointment. I am not sick. My family is not sick, yet a medical facility is asking me to come in? Doesn't sound like they are currently overwhelmed. I did not setup an appointment. Perhaps I should. Perhaps they are lonely.

1. Essential Businesses? Liquor Stores and Pot Shops are essential? I guess they are essential for the government to collect higher taxes on, but they are not essential to live (I get it if you are a prescribed user of cannabis). Pot Shops supply a product that is doing some damage to your pulmonary system and we are fighting a virus that attacks the pulmonary system? That makes perfect sense–Not Really.

1. HotSpots need medical staff to assist the overworked. Why are they not seeking out final year doctors, PA's nurses, etc. who's school has been basically shutdown to get some much needed experience on widespread scale? I have 2 young nurses in my family that could use the experience, yet nothing formal has been done to fight this pandemic? One sits at home, filling her time with online course work that she would not have been doing, waiting to graduate in May. If this truly a fight, all hands on deck. How about instead of funding crazy things in a stimulus bill, you get people to hot spots, put them up in empty hotels and let them help and learn? Then, the hotels don't have to layoff as many people, etc.
