Copy/Paste

I confirmed this with a relative in hatzalah, he says it’s true and hatzalah can’t do anything about it because they don’t let anyone in there



Fwd: I have inside information from a friend whos a nurse that some maimonides nurses are ignoring jewish patients and letting them die...she told another nurse that one of the patients (heimishe patient)oxygen level was dropping and the nurse totally ignored so she went to complain to the superviser thst the nurse is not complying the head nurse also ignored and patient died..and family nebach thinks that they died from virus..they died from neglect.. the nurses on her unit are blaming the jews for the spreading of corona..


If chas veshalom anyone needs emergency care they should call a private ambulance(most take insurance) and go to a different hospital

Just to be clear, the allegation here is that it's the frum patients specifically who are being ignored, and the other corona patients are being cared for?
It's not just that the nurses are trying to avoid dealing with any corona patients?

This story obviously needs to be verified and confirmed before being accepted as fact. However, jewish history should make anyone understand that this attitude would fit the narrative........

In light of this, do you agree with this petition?
https://www.change.org/p/governer-andrew-cuomo-allow-a-family-member-in-the-room-with-coronavirus-patient

To me it doesn’t sound like a good idea to have hundreds of people visiting, but there has to be a way to take care of our loved ones.

Make them stay with the patient and must strictly isolate for 14 days after leaving the hospital.

The issue is there's a PPE shortage, and it's not safe for the other person to be in proximity.

Even if they already had the virus?
ETA: I guess that's the one of the big questions now, that nobody really knows for sure...

Once again boils down to insufficient testing. 2-3 weeks into the US’s epidemic, and we still don’t have adequate testing, unforgivable.

Who besides South Korea has/had adequate testing?

Fair enough. But it’s also valid to ask why they can and we cannot. No?

China figured it out pretty quickly and now produces millions of test kits per week (and not just faulty ones).
Italy also has adequate testing.

What will testing accomplish? We couldnt because of FDA red tape. That has since been removed and Abbott will have a test by next week that comes back in 7 minutes for positive and 13 minutes for negative...or something like that.

The next person to tell me that everything coming out of China is completely fake can continue burying their hands in the sand. I called out a lot of their lies, but facts are the facts. China has had enough test kits for themselves for over a month, maybe 45 days already. They're exporting them in the millions, anyone dealing with China can tell you this.

Italy as of a week ago was absolutely crushing the US in testing per capita.

Cell phone contracts expired is a much better metric.

Because losing 1.3% of customers during an economic meltdown is a good measurement of how many people died?

That article is 9 days old. May as well be from the Swine flu epidemic.

And the US still didn't reach Italy's numbers yet from 9 days ago, while Italy is expanding as well.

The tests were made by a Chinese biotechnology company called Bioeasy, El País reported. Other countries, including Georgia, have bought the company's tests.

The Chinese Embassy in Spain said on Twitter on Thursday that the medical supplies China was donating to other countries did not include Bioeasy products.

It said that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce gave Spain a list of manufacturers and that Bioeasy was not among them, adding that it had not been given a license from China's National Medical Products Administration to sell its products

Tachlis, China has it under control, we don't.
