I’m confused...

The GOP is all about the govt not meddling into people’s lives, yeah?

Then why do they feel the American public needs schools (govt) to open to ensure the well-being and safety of their kids? It has been stated numerous times schools are needed to ensure kids aren’t being abused and are getting fed enough?

Link doesn't work over here. What will the committee decide on? Who gets critical treatment and who does not?
Starr County Health Authority Dr. Jose Vazquez said Starr County Memorial Hospital, the county’s only hospital, on Tuesday implemented an ethics committee and a triage committee to review all coronavirus patients as they come in to determine what type of life-saving equipment and treatment they would likely require and whether they would likely survive. Those deemed too fragile or sick or elderly will be advised to go home to loved ones, he said.

“There is nowhere to put these patients. The whole state of Texas and neighboring states have no ICU beds to spare for us,” Vazquez said Tuesday afternoon during a video conference call with media.

“We are going to have these committees reviewing each case,” Vazquez said. “End-of-life decisions and hospice decisions and comfort-care situation for all those patients who most certainly do not have any hope of improving we believe they will be better taken care in the love of their own family and home rather than thousands of miles away dying alone.”


The article doesn't really say anything else about the triage. Sounds like there are going to be a lot of families on the whole at risk as caregivers, and a generation of Texas kids who will watch their relatives pass from this disease -- so I have a feeling we might see a huge cohort of people with emotional disturbance/mental heath issues from this. Really sad.

wearing a facemask in the home is 79% effective at preventing infection among family members

one of my wife's friends is a nurse with an obese husband. She caught COVID, but her test was false negative so they told her to go home and isolate...he caught COVID and within 3 days of first symptom died.

a guy from my jiu-jitsu school (early 30s I'd guess) caught it from his wife, also a nurse, and he died today.

It just feels like the impact of the virus is slowly finding it's way in to the circle of people I care about.
