White House is finally changing it's strategy. No more it's a hoax, no more it's going away talk. Maybe they finally get it and the nation is going to unite with a clear message to put an end to this damn virus once and for all.

'We need to live with it': White House readies new message for the nation on coronavirus

The effort to craft a clearer response comes after months of Trump downplaying the health crisis and mixed signals from the administration.

At what point here does hospital/ICU space become an issue in the states?

I could recall the panic button being pushed within a couple of weeks during the first outbreak phase, yet this time around, it does not seem to be as big of a focus.

I spoke with my daughter earlier. she is a RN at a Gulfport hospital. If you need emergency treatment, paramedics will take you to Hancock county. This ain't no joke my friends

I posted about this a number of months back, with regards to what a hospital was doing within their ICU. There was a concern for patients with the virus exhaling the aerosol droplets thru the intubation process and the virus spreading thru the ventilation system of the hospital. Now some experts say, it has been a concern since early on from anyone that has it and the virus being spread mostly in poorly ventilated areas, regardless of the 6 foot social distancing and sanitizing of hands...etc., due to the spreading of the virus by aerosol droplets.

While there has been no real testing (purposely infecting healthy people) and the fact this is only from laboratory experiments, it is still a valid concern. A study by professionals conducted on a choir in Portland, where one choir member unknowingly who had the virus was amongst the choir, where everyone wore masks, maintained a 6 foot spacing, many members still contracted the virus, may help support the results from the laboratory experiments. There is still disagreement amongst many expert medical professionals.

When you step back and look at the evolution of the conflicting and early on opinions, on having people wearing masks and their benefit/non-benefit, I think this aerosol spread disagreement, will end up being valid across all expert opinions. With some evidence that supports the spread thru aerosol droplets (exhaled air) from people that have the virus, wearing a mask still helps prevent the spread of the droplets, but is NOT a proven method that will 100% guarantee no one individual may still contract the virus.

The NBA bubble may actually be another test of the aerosol concern. We’ll see.

Ten out of the 12 hospitals in Texas' Rio Grande Valley are now full

"We are now at the point of grave concern," said the CEO of one hospital system in deep South Texas as local hospitals began diverting patients away from their emergency rooms amid a crush of COVID-19 infections.

Texas not looking so good.

Don't believe this is breaking news. In fact, for those paying attention and not looking for information to help feed a thirst for confirmation bias, this is exactly the way it has always been intended to work.

We wear masks to protect others, not to protect ourselves. And certainly no one has ever said wearing a mask is 100% full proof in any situation; it's simply just one of several mitigation measures aimed merely at helping - the other main ones being social distancing and consistent hand-washing/sanitizing.

You can literally get the virus through your eyes, so no, the mask was never intended to be to 100% protect ourselves.
