600 Physicians Say Lockdowns Are A ‘Mass Casualty Incident’

https://www.forbes.com/sites/gracem...e-a-mass-casualty-incident/#3b9b3fd450fa

“More than 600 of the nation’s physicians sent a letter to President Trump this week calling the coronavirus shutdowns a “mass casualty incident” with “exponentially growing negative health consequences” to millions of non COVID patients.

“The downstream health effects...are being massively under-estimated and under-reported. This is an order of magnitude error," according to the letter initiated by Simone Gold, M.D., an emergency medicine specialist in Los Angeles.”

“ The physicians’ letter focuses on the impact on Americans’ physical and mental health. “The millions of casualties of a continued shutdown will be hiding in plain sight, but they will be called alcoholism, homelessness, suicide, heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. In youths it will be called financial instability, unemployment, despair, drug addiction, unplanned pregnancies, poverty, and abuse.”

Thanks for posting. Sobering, frustrating, and depressing, but needs to be known. Good on those doctors.

Well said. I agree.

Agreed

Humans have evolved into a socialized creature almost requiring interaction. If allowed to continue, this quarantining "project" will cause issues which will deeply penetrate and then reverberate for a long time. Think of it this way -

Keep a Jack Russell well watered and well fed, but keep him in a cage and see what happens. If kept in too long, he will not come out in his right mind.

It is surprising how many people rolled over...... We are a soft people.

The libtards will stop at nothing to derail our country and get Trump out of office. Obviously that includes ruining our great country.

Libtards hate our country, they just love the money it creates.

^^All true.

Libtards do not hate our country. they couldn't get away with it anywhere else.

How bout they hate the fact that we are citizens?
They want subjects, and they want to be extremely wealthy royalty, living off the backs of their subjects.

The founding fathers built a constitution to prevent this, because they knew it could happen again. They had just gone through a bloody war with the same type of people. And they way they won was by killing them. Thus the second amendment.

And I know you know that, same as every American that isn't a liberal.

It was never about a virus, it was always about 2020. Get Trump.

Trump was not expected. He was a glitch they had not anticipated.

Go figure

Same thing g happens with humans. Lock them away and release them. A majority reoffend just to get back to the life they have gotten accustomed to. It is what has become normal to them.

There should be a study as to the percentage of the people calling in social distancing complaints that also believe Global Warming is the biggest threat to our planet. Same mindset I believe.

And...Jack Russels are nuts anyways. 'Love them dearly, but they're nuts.

Agreed. Salute
