I spoke to a person earlier this week who thought I was in New York and asked me - “are the hospitals really full there? I saw on TV they weren’t.”

So, we have two family members in NYC hospitals. It is absolutely a mess. The doctors are at the end of their ropes and 1/

They’re almost out of equipment. Please do not believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but seriously. It’s a nightmare up there. We need to stop it if we can.

I also spoke to someone who implied that being put on a ventilator is not a big deal. OK, just google what they do and the consequences and come back and say that.

I& #39;ve started just being very blunt now because folks are apparently not getting this through their heads.

I genuinely think some large number of people do not know that a ventilator is a *really* invasive and horrible thing to be on. So if you don& #39;t know that, now you do.
