29% of hospitalized #COVID19 patients died in 38 Michigan s during hospitalization (24%) or within 60 days of discharge (5%).

An astounding 63% of those in ICUs with #COVID19 died.

Too many people are grieving the devastating loss of a loved one due to COVID—many of whom were forced to die alone. It shouldn’t have to be that way. On day one, @JoeBiden and I will act to get this virus under control and save American lives.

"Catastrophic" lack of hospital beds in upper Midwest as coronavirus cases surge https://t.co/Tyx3lahlH2
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 13, 2020

The situation in our hospitals is very serious. Six weeks ago, we had 200 #coronavirus-related hospitalizations in Nebraska. This week, hospitalizations stand at 860 and they are rapidly rising every day.
— Gov. Pete Ricketts (@GovRicketts) November 12, 2020

So far, we have been able to provide hospital beds, ICU beds, and ventilators to anyone who needs care. If trends continue, Nebraska will reach a point where that’s no longer possible.

When Musk posts on twitter I take it seriously because of his long history of brilliant rational comments there. Is it possible the problems were caused by the nurse being a pedophile?

Yes, Elon has the emotional development of a 12-year-old, but is doing great things.
In contrast to so many of our 12-year-old leaders and celebrities who aren't doing great things,
sometimes even evil things.

by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 11/13/2020 - 2:57am

Yes he's going great things. I'm just saying that I don't trust anything he posts on twitter.

by ocean-kat on Fri, 11/13/2020 - 3:29am

Yes PP...

Elon does do great things, but keeping his mouth shut on things outside his realm isn't one of them.
