Peak or Flat?

DO NOT GET TOO EXCITED JUST YET PEEPS!!! Are we making strides in this fight, yes in some areas adn others no. there is reason for optimism – there always is folks we are humans and we must remain positive because there is

Dmitry | Dreamstimecom the Light at the End of the Tunnel May Be ... and no there is not a train coming!!

So we have steadily increased our patient positive testes in NJ and New York has somewhat peaked and is slowly flattening that they say.

NY Yesterday as of 7PM last night

NJ:

ABC News
@ABC

JUST IN: 275 more people died from the coronavirus in New Jersey in the last 24 hours, bringing the state’s death total to 1,504.

OOFA

 

 

World Data – over 1.5 million infected

Spain and the UK are a mess literally a quarantine lock down that is a little to late by some arm chair quarterbacks as they are called:

UK

Spain:

And China still having issues, not surprised!!! And the WHO helped them cover this and told America and the world that there is no need to close the borders to China back in January when we did. Thank God this administration went against this advice that we gave what  ~60 million $ to?

 

Oh and chillin’s & parents and teachers – NJ Gov Phil Murphy announced yesterday that schools will be enclosed INDEFINITELY yesterday at his press conference (known as a presser). I do not mean to be like this but it look slike:

I said this to my partner Gina two weeks into this in March. Hope I am wrong and we get back by Mid May for ALL of us. The ramifications if we dont go back are well like a Giant Squid!!! BUT the money the schools districts are saving for various reasons will be incredible in teh tens to hundreds to possibly millions of dollars – just look at daily busing expense for one!!

Essential Workers = HERO’S,

Peg C. informed her circle of friends that the peak in NJ isn’t hitting until around the 21stish of the month IF we remain aggressive in being passive = social distancing – aggressive passive not passive aggressive peeps LOL! WHO is this young woman you ask? She is an admin at Hackensack Medical  for the nurses. They have refrigerated trucks on hand to hold the bodies of the deceased when this flux hits. AND it was her hubby Pete C who works for teh NBA that told me at Lou’s Tavern (who still calls a bar a Tavern nowadays’s?? Only Lou’s!) on March 13th the we would nt be back in school this year and that the NBA wouldn’t resume until late May at best if al goes well. So, we/I listen to these peeps!

Helen H. a nurse, Irish and staunch but also loving, compassionate and kind is on the front lines in Yonkers. She has personally bagged seven of her patients this week alone during two shifts on her floor. She is exhausted emotionally, physically and mentally. She is a 25 year veteran and has seen a lot from ER to Cardio to Surgical.

She doesn’t know how much more she can do this and the fear of coming down with this is also weighing on her.

Mike G NJ State Trooper – big strong man – 5 guys in barracks have tested positive. They are scared to bring it home and guys are calling in sick. They don’t want to deal with the public even more now but have to.

OUR front liners are under DURESS its not stress anymore but DURESS.  They are beginning to break down all over from food store workers, to truckers, to fireman, to police to EMT to medical staff. WE can’t go much longer or else the system will have major problems.

NYC – Police have a 20% infection rate WSJ states that one in five are out sick!!

and this is what happens:

REALLY – same folks holding weddings, funerals and bday parties!!

NYC Fire/EMT From AM NY

The FDNY reported Friday that 376 of its members have positive for COVID-19, with 17% of firefighters and 24% of emergency medical service members reporting out on medical leave.

BUT here is help from the Passaro Family pitching in from their Italian Restaurant (Primo Amore) in Hawthorne NJ – awesome place and food is phenomenal!!

The Passaros prepared over 300 meals this past weekend and here are a couple of pictures of Luke delivering some meals (100) to Holy Name Hospital.

The CURE?

Hydrochloroquine and Z Pack combo? It has been used in China – can’t take what they say from teh gov’t but Dr.’s who we’ll never hear from again went on the underground to send their data out show this combo has been working very successfully on patients! Lupos patients, not one have come down with the COVID 19 who are on he Hydro med that is used to fight Malaria. Coicidence? I say NYET to that! This medicine nothing new and has been around since the 1930/40’s! It is cheap and works very fast from reports.

Dr. Oz interviews Dr. Wallace – I know personally a patient who has Lupos (for over 30 year snow) that sees and swears by Dr Wallace with their life! Says he is an expert.

Raw, cold and rainy

A YEAR AGO

One year ago this past Sunday I was admitted into Pascack Valley at Hackensack Hospital with what was diagnosed as internal bleeding having lost 8 yes 8 pints of blood! There are 14 -16 in your body! They did a CT scan and found a mass – which turned out to be a 2cm long by 1/4″ Diameter ( see my students I am not using R for radius since it is a completely round circumference object!) tumor in my large intestines that was two weeks later diagnosed as cancer. Thus my battle began and I can not believe it has been one year this all occurred. God, my family and friends who are in heaven, my wife and children, my family, friends, co workers and students all helped give me the intestinal fortitude (no pun intended)to beat this ugly and sometimes grave disease. I have learned so much over this time about health, spirituality, meaning of trueness of people among the precious gift we call LIFE. I was visited by a Cardinal, the red bird not the one that says mass who is known and Father Nelson LOL, when I was diagnosed, when I was prepping to go into surgery, when I came home from surgery, when I was starting my Chemo, when I had an absolute mental breakdown adn the past three days – this serves as a reminder and someone keeps coming back to visit me who is in heaven I believe.

I had my one year follow up blood work and I am thriving, healthy as an OX.

Thank you for being my wx wenies and spreading my word.

 

Updates to come. Be safe and healthy and SD peeps, SD!!
