3 minute run time

This is what happens when the medical system is overloaded HF

I'm Italian, let me traduce: Good evening, everyone. I came to make this video for Italy's good, for Naples good, yesterday my sister died. Probably for COVID-19's Virus, I'm waiting for answers from the institutions since yesterday evening. Nobody came forward, this video it's very rough, please don't let children see this. I'm forced with all my pain to fight this situation, i have my sister in the bed - dead. I don't know what to do, I can't give her the respects she deserves. Because the institutions abandoned me, I've contacted everyone, I won't say who at the moment, Nobody could give me an answer. I'm waiting for the answer from the 118 (Ambulance, 911..)

Yesterday WITH MY OWN WILL I made her undergo the test for the virus, which THEY didn't want to do. Personally, I was denied the test -they told me that they needed to know first if she was infected, and then maybe they'll do it to me as well. Today I've self-quarantined, I could go everywhere to spread the virus if I have it, because to keep my sister alive i had to do mouth-to-mouth breathing, and NO ONE cared. Nobody, the institutions are NOT calling. The first one TO NOT care was our family's doctor, he didn't come to our home to check on her, my sister had a type of epilepsy, a person prone to sickness, and they did not care. Guys we're screwed, Italy abandoned us. Please let's be strong together and share this video everywhere.
Killhouse rules apply:

"1. NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE YOU. Whether an event lasts a few seconds, a few hours, or even a few days – you have to work as though nobody is coming to save you. "

"2. You are your savior, so start working because EVERYTHING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You are your security, you are your medic, you are your rescuer. "

"5. Mostly, ALWAYS BE WORKING. There is always something you can be doing to improve your position. Always. Because nobody is coming to save you. "

so I have to assume it's so bad they just simply can't tell the truth.

And your assumption is that they know the truth. What makes you think that? And would you recognize it if you saw it?

Right now you have a choice. Trump who thinks it was ginned up to cause him to lose the election and those people who think we are due 1,000,000+ corpses by the end of summer.

Or some point in between. Lots of choices for the truth.

I'm just REALLY REALLY curious about those bad mouthing PDJT and the coming election, who out there running for President would you vote for instead? What's that? I can't hear you?

Seriously, qwitcher bitchen, we have the best man possible but he's not perfect and surrounded by those who would do anything, ANYTHING! Including kill millions of us to make him look bad. Some of you need a backbone to stop your wavering and quivering. If he did everything you're asking for you'd probably come up with more reasons to hate on him....

Get off your knees. He has already surrounded himself with incompetent "yes men". He doesn't need more.

And what I don't get about people that bring this up is that they act like an authoritian communist regime has NEVER overreacted/displayed excessive control EVER in the history of all the world.
True, but it is outside the norm. We are interested in why....

Then we have Italy that has just shut itself down.... the numbers of dead are increasing daily and it seems to be hitting the older population hard..... but they did shut a 2nd country down and it happened in only 40 days.... watch what is happening is all we are saying and don't die over the numbers yet....

#BREAKING Iran's Khamenei cancels Persian new year speech over coronavirus: office
Ok, for Iran to do this, it is like one million times stronger (and an indication of just how bad things are) than Ireland canceling St. Patricks day activities.

I have been to Persian New Year's day activities held by exiles and students in the USA and they are like just about the most important date on their calendar (like in China but in Persia, it is the Spring Equinox) and more to the point, even the Islamic conversion did not end this multiple thousands year old celebrations.

Indiana's 4th case:

Noble County Patient Tests Positive for Coronavirus
March 9, 2020 11:10 am
Jonathan Shelley

NOBLE COUNTY, Ind. (Fort Wayne’s NBC) - An individual at Parkview Noble Hospital has been diagnosed with COVID-19 -- the first time someone in northeast Indiana has been identified as a coronavirus patient.

Dr. Terry Gaff, a physician at the hospital, is also the medical officer for Noble County.

He told Fort Wayne's NBC that the unidentified individual returned a "presumptive positive" test late Sunday night.

The patient was tested after showing symptoms consistent with the illness. The swab was taken at Parkview Noble Hospital, where he is now in isolation.


Officials with the East Noble School Corporation learned of the development and responded with a notice to families and staff Monday morning.

The superintendent there said that the district was aware of the matter and that the individual who was diagnosed "does not have any school age children and does not live in Kendallville or our district."

Ann Linson said she is in contact with the Department of Health and that officials there were not advising that schools be closed.

A sign posted at the Parkview Physicians Group FirstCare Walk-In Clinic in Kendallville shows the facility is temporarily closed.


Parkview Health officials say they are working with agencies including ISDH, Noble County Department of Health and Allen County Department of Health to monitor the situation and mitigate exposure.

"Prior to arrival at PNH, the patient sought treatment at the Parkview Physicians Group - FirstCare Walk-In Clinic in Kendallville on March 1 and the location on New Vision Drive in Fort Wayne on March 5," a release sent by Parkview Health said. "Out of an abundance of caution, both clinics have been closed today for deep cleaning. Following guidance from ACDH and the CDC, co-workers at both clinic locations have been advised to stay home and will be screened today for potential exposure."

Officials say anyone who visited either clinic and feels they have been exposed should self-monitor for 14 days since the day of potential exposure.

"This includes checking your temperature twice a day and calling a healthcare provider if you have a fever greater than 100.4 degrees and respiratory symptoms, such as cough or shortness of breath," the Parkview release said. "At this time, the ACDH is not recommending self-quarantine for the general public."

Most experts said it wasn't a matter of "if," but "when" COVID-19 would show up in northeast Indiana.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a page with information that separates fact from fiction regarding the disease.

Stay with Fort Wayne's NBC for developments.

Sorry....I like Trump but I think he is either being poorly advised or his stubborn streak is showing again.

Ahhhhh, you're just jealous because you aren't getting intel briefs from time traveling aliens.
That would be time traveling angel/aliens who work for military intelligence, let's get the facts straight.

And about 20 miles from my son and pregnant DIL....

Getting to close....

The son and I were talking about this earlier.... They are staying in as much as possible and will bug out when the risk increases....

Texican....

The person in Frisco caught it 2-3 weeks ago likely. The risk is now.

Re. the Italian man whose sister died at home with no help available from … apparently anywhere...

If you have been putting off getting some contractor grade trash bags, now you have yet another reason to get some.

Big difference between black humor among medical / first responder types and humor that's mocking. I was just a few minutes ago telling my husband he should have heard some of the black humor voiced over the beds of dying babies as a coping mechanism to maintain sanity. Laughter is good medicine and better to try to find something that even in the darkest times will elicit a guffaw or groan. It often isn't understood if one isn't on the front lines, but when you have multiple babies die per shift and grieving parents to deal with on an empty stomach, full bladder, sweating under heat lamps (a chair was thrown under me once before I passed out as I was headed toward the floor and thank God I didn't completely as it was a code), then anything to chuckle at helps, but not mocking or snarkiness.


OK, I'm sorry I did indeed misunderstood you. And probably mixed you up with someone else to be honest because I went back and read some of your other posts and see that most were indeed dark humor not making fun.

I do sincerely apologise. :(
