did you see it today on Fareed? when and how to open the economy, well here is one well thought out idea using science, common sense, and intellect and guess what it worked, and worked very well. when the USA is challenged and we have a competent leader/s we will win. we always win, with the so far exception of this tragedy.

back to this idea. Atul Gawande a surgeon at Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston. this is what that hospital instituted for safety. so this is a large hospital with people working closely. how large 19,000 people workng and close to 75,000 people (employees and patients) which is larger than most counties in the country. they have managed to avoid becoming a hotspot but even better the numbers of employees is relatively low compared to the number employed. a huge success, thank God trump had nothing to do with it.

this doctor explains the four steps each one with flaws but together they work miracles, almost miracles.

1. hygiene, employees washing constantly.

2. social distancing in hospital

3. symptom screening every time a shift starts. an actual form that each employee must fill out and if any answer to any question is positive that employee must go home and tests are scheduled. those symptoms could be as slight as a running nose or sore throat a fever or muscle aches a fever is only present 40% of the time. so out of 50,000 people last month 40,000 had symptoms but most ended up only being a common cold/virus. but the people who did have the virus were quarantined and because of this that hospital had few people passing along this virus.

4. masks.


common sense, logic, and science allowed that huge hospital to work efficently and helped the people of Boston. not hard people you find the right people you follow the science you use common sense and organization and the USA will win.

granted we are at a huge disadvantage--guess why. stupid messages, lies, firings, mixed messages and just complete incompetence. even 23% of you crazies now see it. hallelujah!.

you probably only need to read a credible newspaper, listen to a credible news station and watch Fareed and you will "magically" gain some much needed smarts. try it, instead of lies and BS on this forum. give knowledge, science and education a chance--fat chance of that.
