Title: Covid 19 - We are all screwed - discuss
Post by: Army of One on February 22, 2020, 08:14:59 AM
This guy is famous for being the least alarmist and most conservative doc/expert around.he just said we are officially in a pandemic and to prepare. He is saying the mortality rate in Iran is way higher than the 2% the Chinese are reporting.20% apparently will be seriously ill from it. Our hospitals struggle with a busy Monday morning, can you imagine the riots that will be happening when 50-100x people want care/beds than the hospitals are able to provide? When they are literally turning away the dying by the thousands? Our infrastructure will collapse. Swine flu or influenza has a mortality rate of 0.02%, this has a mortality rate of over 2%, that's over ONE HUNDRED TIMES MORE DEADLY, and looks to spread just as easily. The fact this guy's friends in Iran are begging this guy to get the word out how serious this is, and how much deadlier it seems to be in Iran, raises the possibility it may have already mutated in to something more deadly.

He is in the category most likely to die from it. Naturally he'll be shitting himself.

The virus taking out a large chunk of the elderly population is tragic, but at the same time the harsh reality is that it's a necessity.

Even if you are relatively safe, your parents/grandparents/young children won't be.And the knockdown effect on infrastructure and the panic could be like nothing we have seen in our lifetime.

Brutal. I hope you’re not affected by it.

That said, flu takes out like 600,000 a year. This isn’t really much to worry about.

This is 100x deadlier than flu and looks to be spreading just as fast, how on earth did you reach the conclusion this is nothing much to worry about?Flu has been around for hundreds of years, this just a few months, and look how fast it is spreading.

Well fame in 2020 is far more niche based in general with so many sources of media say compared to 1990.In Coronovirus circles he has spent the last few weeks downplaying the coronovirus based on that facts of spread as they were, now he isn't and clearly he sees the future as bleak with the facts as they are.

The negative reaction that will backfired on the U.S, is that  pharmaceutical , medical and health company have been outsourcing their manufacturing to China for decades.  Any thing from vaccines to vitamins and all else between.. The first response and need will be China it's self and the care of it's one billion citizens. Which all compounds to a serious shortage to the U.S. if the coronavirus overtakes this country.

The U.S. already have a limited supply of  vital pharmaceutical supplies, that is a know fact. With the increases of border crossing, a large part of medicine and other disease and health precautions have been directed to those migrants. That goes far in draining the needs of American.  Just to note: breathing mask, the good kind that actually work, are getting hard to find lately. Most all made in China, of course.

Not only the very old or very young, but all people can become victims of a potential out break. A vaccine has not been developed as yet.

I never said he had a history of being conservative with previous outbreaks.He is a well connected ,intelligent and articulate doctor who the media have looked at as the voice of reason during this outbreak, and has been downplaying the panic, now he isnt.He is well known in uk medical circles for his logical, fact based approach and common sense.Take from that what you want.

Many people seem confused and if they are not old, obese, a smoker etc then it won't effect them.I am none of these things, I'm more worried about the effects on infrastructure and the panic that will set in.

Army when you said he was famous for being the least alarmist and  conservative doc/expert around and then start a post about a rare virus what should we think you’re referring to with the doctors views? Tooth decay? Ingrown toe nails?

All I asked was for an example of what you were talking about and you avoid examples.

Fine. Hee warning that the disease will be deadly. What should we do to protect ourselves?  Argue on getbig?

I'm confused.You only have to cursory glance at Google to see he has been downplaying up until the last week the panic.Examples are his entire video history, Google articles etc.He is a 30yr plus doctor/teacher/trainer with histories of running accident and emergency departments, teaching doctors and nurses etc.He is a jack of all trades doctor who is capable of putting the information together from his contacts, history, experience and facts together and deliver them in a matter of fact way.Whether that's ingrown toenails or rare viruses.As to what to do to protect ourselves?Who knows.The Chinese are wearing facemasks in public, washing hands before every meal and avoiding touching surfaces or others when they don't have to.Also not going out when they do not have to.

That's cool.

These viruses evolve from overcrowding animals in horrible conditions before unjustifiably murdering them.


So yes,it would be good that we pay the price.

Humanity is heading in a bad direction anyways.

I don't know about 20% but the 3% figure was between those ill enough to be diagnosed with it.

Most of those who contract the virus clear it as a simple flu,not knowing it was Corona.

"Let's put the risk of dying by Coronavirus in perspective since there are so many misunderstandings about its connection to the influenza virus.

The CDC states that the death burden of influenza is roughly 61,000/45,000,000 infections. The fatality percentage of influenza is 0.13%.

The death burden of the Covid-19 is around 2% at the moment but may go up as SARS did after 2003

Let's do some quick math to determine how much more deadly, at a minimum, Covid-19 is compared to influenza virus.

0.02/0.0013= 15.[3846153846](tel:3846153846)

At a minimum, Coronavirus is 15.4 times deadlier than the Influenza Virus and twice as contagious; R-value of Coronavirus is 2.2-2.5 at the moment and may go higher based on incoming data and "The median R value for seasonal influenza was 1.28 (IQR: 1.19-1.37)"

Let's stop pretending that it is the equivalent of a common cold. It is a serious disease that spreads easily and often without symptoms.

Let's also put an end to the idea that the mortality rate should go down because "there are many more undiagnosed people unaccounted for". By the same logic, there are also many more Covid-19 deaths unaccounted for. And China is controlling the WHO numbers that get reported. China is also known to severely under report deaths of even influenza because of "pre-existing medical conditions" or pneumonia.They have been doing the same with Covid-19.

There are some people suggesting that the R-value of Covid-19 should go down because after the winter season. The minimum time it takes to show symptoms for Covid-19 is 2 days; some say 24 days. And it spreads throughout that entire incubation period. So you can easily pass it on without knowing that you have it.

Contrast that with Influenza:

"Symptoms can begin about 2 days (but can range from 1 to 4 days) after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Some people can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those people may still spread the virus to others."

1-4 days VS 2-24 days. Which will be more likely to spread?

The median incubation days for Covid-19 is 5.2 days and the mean incubation of Influenza is 2 days.

That's more than double the incubation time and suggests that the R-values for Covid-19 should go higher rather than lower.

Not to mention the possibility that Covid-19 is beginning to mutate, which means that you can get reinfected with a Covid-19 variant even if you do beat it the first time. And it could take 6+ years for development of a vaccine.

~20% of confirmed coronavirus cases have also required hospitalization and "life-saving measures"."

A flu virus that's just twice as contagious as flu but 20-100x more deadly?That's unheard of.Every outbreak of a virus before in recent history has either been high mortality rate but hard to transmit, or easy to transmit and low mortality rate.This is both easy to transmit and has a high mortality rate.Comparing it to the common flu at this point is retarded.

China has around 1.4 billion people.

Even if your stats are out by a factor of 100 , just around 0.5% (1 in 200) of China's populace  will have gotten infected.

Again, it's the infrastructure and panic I'm worried about.We go in to recessions due to doomy forecasts or a few % drops in housing, stocks etc.What do you think a virus like this would do if it truly catches hold?You'd be talking about a scenario that the developed West has never experienced.

we have experienced lots of things that we dealt with...

It appears you are correct. Whilst I'm sure he is an intelligent man, calling him a "doc/expert" is a bit of a stretch. He isn't a medical doctor and is as much an expert on this subject as anyone posting on here.

What? This doctor is famous for being conservative with his opinions on disease. A quick google search determines he has changed his mind  and we should be concerned because of this.

Chances are if you’re reading this you’re already infected.

I had a flu bug last week, shrugged it off, Im fine now..

here si the Coronavirus WHO website definition of how dangerous it is

Quote
As with other respiratory illnesses, infection with 2019-nCoV can cause mild symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever.  It can be more severe for some persons and can lead to pneumonia or breathing difficulties.  More rarely, the disease can be fatal. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as, diabetes and heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.

Too late at this point imho.Incubation period is up to 27 days, so you can spread it for 4 weeks before ever showing signs you have it.Thats why it's now explodng in south korea, Italy and Iran.Also some reports are saying you can be reinfected even if you had it before,but not enough evidence for that so far.

For whatever reason by all reports it's hitting Iran particularly hard.look at these kids trying to breathe in an Iranian hospital.

Dr Campbell, the guy from the original post video, had a livestream tonight.According to the stream he's predicting 60% of UK population will catch CORVID-19 in first year.

66'000'000 x 60%

= 39'600'000

75% mild to moderate

20% severe, requiring oxygen (39'600'000 x 20% = 7'920'000)

5% critical, needing ITU (39'600'000 x 5% = 1'980'000)

"My Graph of the confirmed cases in Europe day by day.
The last two surges are Italy only.

I can guarantee you that the mortality rate in Europe is 10%.

Of the 123 registered cases, 32 have been "recovered" and 3 have died.

Of the 35 cases in which an "end" has been declared, 3 died, 32 got well.

Mortality rate in Europe so far: 10%"

Correct. I warned about this mid January on the earlier thread “two things you don’t want to hear” where there were some absolute morons thinking that “the virus won’t get us in America”.

It is correct that likely a very large % of the world, especially those in big cities globally, will be exposed.

As for the mortality rate, this is, for various reasons, hard to both measure and predict. This is because the vast majority of those infected don’t ever get tested as positive or even seek medical advice. And secondly because symptoms of infected vary hugely. From my own knowledge and sources I can tell you the rate of directly caused death to those actually infected could be around 1/10000. There are many people, especially kids, are almost entirely asymptotic (yet are fully infected and also are spreaders). For those who are infected and who are ill enough that they actually seek medical attention rate could be 1/1000. And for those who are elderly, smokers, immune compromised, already have pre-existing organ problems, rate could be as high as 4-5%.

These numbers are huge, if (as I have told you and warned) a significant number of global population get infected.

Any (non-idiot) questions let me know and I will answer. This happens to be a field where I know a significant amount and have global insights (both on the health side, geopolitical, and economic).

It's not denial or narcissism.  It's critical thinking and looking at the facts we have.  We don't know yet how deadly it really is as that's impossible to know at this stage.  We don't know how many people have the virus because many may have zero or just mild symptoms and not be tested.  We are starting to see patterns, but don't yet for sure know if the virus hits certain populations harder than others.  We don't know exactly how long the virus can live on surfaces.  We don't know what medications or treatments may really help in treating this although some countries have reported that HIV medications seem to help.  Just like Gib, you are saying a lot of stuff that hasn't been verified by any official agencies.  This, just like a lot of things in the world, is something that is dangerous and something we need to educate ourselves about as information comes out.  Maybe doing some reading has really scared you, but I can tell you that the best thing to do is to practice good hygiene habits, especially when out in public.  Suggesting that the world is going to be thrust into chaos and rioting is just ridiculous and means you have watched way too many movies.

Women are less likely to die from this virus because they generally have stronger immune systems. Anyone with a weak immune system is at greater risk of complications including death from COVID-19. I'm no expert, but if you are a person who gets the flu fairly often, you could be more likely to contact COVID-19.

I think these numbers of % of infected are quite possible. Now that does not mean we will have a scene of mass zombie-like deaths in the street. But rather, more like influenza (although somewhat worse in terms of death rate, and definitely worse in terms of economic effect and societal fear).

With many viruses, a person can be “re-infected”. Usually if it’s the same strain or a similar strain the impact on the busy will be less severe than initial exposure. As for those supposedly “re-infected” with Covid, what more likely occurred is that a person who was infected largely recovered, only for symptoms to re-emerge. Legitimate “re-infections” might occur in a year or so and or with slight mutations of the original strain.

I remember how feared and misunderstood HIV was. People, including medical professionals thought is much easier to contact then it actually was (hepatitis is far easier to get because it has a much longer lifespan outside a host). I remember a co-worker saying in all seriousness, that all gay people should be rounded up and put in isolated camps. Not because he disliked gay people. Because he was afraid of catching HIV.

This is not like the flu! The seasonal flu does not get China to quarantine 700 million people, this is most likely an escaped bioweapon and if you just shrug it off and ignore it don’t be surprised when you’re struggling to survive. You were warned. Coincidentally, Bill Gates recently held a war game type scenario where a coronavirus kills 65 million people. That was back in October, look it up it was called Event 201.

What information that China releases do we trust?  Could 700 million really be 1 BILLION? What else are they hiding?

People's reactions and denial of this have been very interesting to watch.My personal theory is that most people in the west are so narcissistic, and feel so safe and invincible, that this shit scares them to the very core that they could be wiped out or the economy of their country collapse within a year.It was always something poor Africans had to deal with, and now it's knocking at their door they can't cope.

You could be very right about this. Denial is the way to go until you catch it.

Yup. Watch the news.  Horror all around.

You’re terrified that the elderly and smokers dying will collapse the economy.


What do you think will happens when the hospitals fill up?When people start rioting because their parents and dying and there are no more beds?When a 3rd of the workforce are not working as they are quarantined?When the stores have no food because it's all seen to be contaminated?When the stock market has collapsed in panic?When 50% of the doctors are ill and there are 10x the amount of patients they are used to?When banks start collapsing?When the police are so stretched thin that every Hebrew starts looting and robbing?When there is no school for the kids as it's too risky to be infected?When nobody attends NBA,NFL,NHL games and they can't afford to keep playing just for TV?When nobody is attending college?Nobody is picking up your garbage, delivering your mail.etc etc etc

I think you missed my point. You said, 'Yes that's true and I'll grieve, but then I'll get over it." As if to say, you getting the virus is unthinkable although you acknowledge other people might not only get it they may die from it.

You’ve obviously never been to America. You don’t realize what Americans will do and how far they will push their self.

The NFL, NBA, MLB and every other sports league could shut down tomorrow and people will find something else to do and spend their time and money on.

Absolute number 1 thing you should do, and do it now before they sell out in the next 2 weeks, is buy a pulse oximeter that measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.Clearest way to tell you have the coronovirus is that your blood oxygen level drops below 90%.97-100% is normal.

Unfortunately, the world economy is built on expansion, including expanding populations. If the population were to be greatly reduced, they would be a negative financial impact. There would be an abundance of product and few people to buy it which would tank its value.

Lucky me, I have one of those. I use it daily. My blood oxygen level is consistently in the high 90's. I also take my blood pressure daily. rarely exceeds 120/80 and is usually 5 to 10 points lower. My pulse is generally in the low 60's and my heartbeat reads a regular 99% of the time, (which isn't bad since I have AFib).

That‘s right. And I think you have your answer already.

I would say two things though. These days bad news ultimately = good news for the markets as it results in stimulus and money printing and lower borrowing rates. So be careful if trying to short anything. Secondly, life does (and will) go on. Companies will recover from short term negative impact. If investors over react and sell off on short term fears, prices of good value may emerge.

So, basically, despite your fear, you’re really helpless against the disease, other than stocking up canned peas and carrots.

This is why I said that worrying about it is pointless because none of us could really do anything about it. But if buying canned goods makes you feel more comfortable, so be it.

Stop saying there's nothing you can do about it.Buy a pulse oximeter, stock up on 1-2 months of rice and beans, vit c tabs, ibuprofen and paracetamol.Buy a face mask.Have multiple sources of internet connection, some large power banks, flashlights.Stop smoking if you do.Be ready to pull your kids out of school.Start making plans to remote work if possible.Avoid all public transport from this point on if you can.Avoid large gatherings if you can.

Latest research shows it survives for 9 days on surfaces.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32035997

tapwater can be contaminated because the virus can be spread via urine and feces. it's rather unlikely but during a big breakdown, even groundwater could get contaminated and if your community gets the tapwater from reservoirs on the surface it's rather likely. not sure if boiling helps but i would assume that.

If you are buying any food from supermarkets like bread or vegetables etc, be aware if someone infected coughs on it, the virus will live on it for 9 days.

Latest reports from the ground in Wuhan show the situation getting worse.

This sounds like fear mongering.

So, basically, despite your fear, you’re really helpless against the disease, other than stocking up canned peas and carrots.

This is why I said that worrying about it is pointless because none of us could really do anything about it. But if buying canned goods makes you feel more comfortable, so be it.

Every so often what appears to be the doomsday end of mankind comes along. People go nuts building survival kits. I've often wondered what they think they'd be living for? A new beginning or a living hell? Others must think about it too because every so often there is a movie or a television show that plays into this fear.

You can wash your hands for 20 seconds, scrubbing vigorously, before having any food or touching your face or after coming inside

You could do these things, but would you? Are you sure you always wash your hands  for 20 seconds before you touch your face? Do you time your hand washing? Most often the food you eat has been handled by a number of unknown hands. How does washing your hands protect you from an airborne virus like the Coronovirus? Washing one's hands is a good practice. It is not a panacea for every contagion we encounter on a daily, or even hourly basis.

Some people are obsessive germaphobes. They spend much of their lives worrying about catching something. Even if they could create an absolutely sterile environment they'd  probably continue to fret about germs and cleanliness. Most people's immune system needs some exposure to germs in order to develop its natural immunity.

Agreed. Worrying about this will not add a thing to your life.

It's the Chinese, they don't help people in the street who have been run over, and until recently some would reverse back over people they hit as it was less expensive to kill them than pay their medical fees.Also when death is everywhere and you are worried about saving your own life, it takes on less meaning, people get hardened to it.Same thing with War.

I hope you’re stocked up on food with all the posting you’re doing it’s hard to think you have had time to leave the house.

Not that it matters for an airborn virus, as the disease is likely living on those food packages. Someone is likely bringing the disease right into their home...

Also what are the Chinese death numbers at this point? It should be in the 10s of millions by now.

Agreed. You seem to have an unbiased and very educated view.

China is a much larger country with much larger cities than the US, so the devastation should be greater.

 Bro the US can and will put an area on lockdown.  They observe lockdown hours in certain cities for teens. Obviously people can and will get through the cracks but the people you’re referring to won’t have reliable transportation or fuel to visit random homes.

And what about when the 3 of them arrive at your door with guns to rob you?Don't care then?

A few years ago we had a natural disaster here in the US. It was a hurricane that hit New Orleans called Katrina. It was devastating. Looters didn’t rob home owners. They targeted stores.

We’ve had worst disasters since then and we’ve done ok. People generally aren’t traveling looking for random homes to rob for fear of being shot. It happens of course but it takes place regardless of good or bad economic situations, disasters, etc...

CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 29 million flu illnesses, 280,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths from flu. Interim estimates of 2019-2020 flu vaccine effectiveness were released this week.

Be very weary of any “we have the vaccine to the virus” stocks. There are hundreds of stocks globally with similarly hype and theme. If trading key would be get in and out fast. More sensible would be to buy legit companies with sentiment hit hard short term. Think airlines, hotels, hospitality, tourism.

Also

Of the 29,000 known cases that have an outcome, 9% have resulted in death.

Of the 51,000 ongoing cases, 23% are in critical condition.

It mostly kills old men from pneumonia, most of them smokers who's lungs had lesions, I think the recorded cases are way to low, meaning the mortality rate is actually quite low similar to the common flu, no doubt its a bad flu, but a lot of people die from the flu each year.
In saying that I feel we are too worried about economic impact over effective containment and no doubt in the future whether its this virus mutating into a much more deadly disease or another one, we are sitting ducks. We can't even cull bats where it is well known that most of the corona type viruses come from, bat populations are out of control in most countries, if an animal that is not a food source has the potential to cause a global disease epidemic, we should cull it, no different to stoping counties get nuclear weapons, we need to neutralise threats as they arise, but our over civilised western world no longer allows us to deal with anything effectively.

You are right. Almost 15% of the deaths have occurred among people over 80. It drops to 8% with people age 70-79 (my age group). It continues to drop to .2% among people between the ages of 10-39. There have been no reported infant deaths.

COVID-19 will not bust the economy, but fear about it doing so might. Whether seniors are a burden or an asset to society is heavily debated. It is a debate I will avoid because admittedly, I am bias. Contrary to what some here think, I have a good life and I'm not ready to give it up just yet. However, I can see where some uninformed younger people might think the world would be better off with out seniors. They'll eventually change their minds, but that's another story.

I'm never had the flu. Maybe I am naturally immune to those types of viruses. -Don't know. On the negative side, I am susceptible to getting pneumonia because I've had it before several times throughout my lifetime. Never the less, I'm pretty healthy. My immune system is great. I'll go with the idea that I'm less likely than some to get seriously ill from COVID-19.

Too bad for all my haters! LOL!

The most honest answer I can figure is that we know nothing, so I'm only slightly nervous. What will happen, will happen. I bought some extra otc flu medicines across a few different classes. I also added to my stock of canned goods, protein powders, etc.... but that's about it.

The chance to add any respirators, etc... has sailed. Even the more expensive full face industrial models and their filters are sold out.

If you have any pre-existing conditions, I'd probably see if I could get my hands on a few extra months of whatever medicines you need now. This thing has really exposed how dependent we are on China for medical goods of all classes. Everyone from the richest 1st world drug companies to 3rd world producers needs China for something.

The economy will tank some, but we've had a great run the last few years, so I'm hoping it will balance out.

I was somewhat happy when I saw that Europe was keeping a lid on it. But now, with the rather large clusters in Italy, and reports that it is spending across Europe, my hopes are a bit dashed. I also don't believe in the :) the US is putting on it. That's all about keeping the economy somewhat stable.

I do think the spin that warmer temperatures will kill it off has merit. Hong Kong, Singapore, etc... have slowed down their infection rate, but realistically most of the US won't see sustainable warmer temperatures (70f +) till late May or so, so we've still got a long way to go.

Don't just check the stats, actually look at what they are telling you.

Of the 29,000 known cases that have an outcome, 9% have resulted in death.

Of the 51,000 ongoing cases, 23% are in critical condition.

And it's well known China have been lying.The 10th Italian just died, out of 332.Out of that 332 many more will certainly die as the infection is still early there..Irans is said to be even higher, above 20%.And 2% is till 20x more deadly than flu?While being twice as contagious?You somehow see this as good if this was the case?

Another big thing to look at is what percentage of capacity your country's hospitals work at normally. In big cities it creeps into 90%'s+. If we see even a decent outbreak here, it will make timely medical services very hard to come by. A few extra patients here or there, isn't a huge burden for 1st world countries, but if we start seeing numbers in the 1000's.....

The US CDC is getting more pessimistic by the day -

"We can have community spread in the United States and have it be reasonably mild, we can have community spread in the U.S. and have it be very severe. So that's what we don't completely know yet."

"We're asking folks in every sector, as well as people within their families, to start planning for this, because as we've seen from the recent countries that have had community spread, when it hit in those countries, it has moved quite rapidly".

Those are some of the latest quotes from them.

 ???

Of the 80k cases, 29000 have either died, or survived and now test negative.Of those 29000 cases, 9% died.Of the 51k remaining of the so far 80k infected that have neither died, or recovered and tested negative, 23% are in critical condition.And again it looks like these numbers for China should be much higher with what we are seeing unfold in Iran and Italy.

So according to the numbers you provided we have 80k people who have been infected. 2600 have died from the infection. 26,400 have survived and are no longer ill.

We still dont have vital information such as age and status of the infecteds health prior to infection.  This information would be vital in determining how deadly this virus really is.

You only have to look at the facts of this thing.Insanely long incubation period, insanely contagious, while being insanely deadly.Thats basically unheard of.Typically viruses are not deadly to this extreme because they want the host to survive to spread the virus.Usually viruses that are deadly, they kill all the hosts and it fizzles out or they are so contagious that they are not deadly to assure the host spreading.This hits that unimaginable equilibrium that was unthinkable til now, of ease of spread while being deadly.

Whilst theres no vaccine, if you really are concerned conventional antibiotics might help, I last week got some to treat pneumonia, my thinking being from what I have read the virus attacks the respiratory system similar to pneumonia in most cases it develops into pneumonia, I would rather take something that might help, than nothing at all. My doctor was OK with my thinking and thinks that with whats known that's all we can do. Augmentin and keflex, but wait till your mucus goes green which points to infection, clear usually is just the common flu, biggest issue i see coming is people getting the common flu and panicking thinking they have corona, plus only ever use anti biotics where you absolutely have to, dont use up your line of defence to early.

I don't know about 20% but the 3% figure was between those ill enough to be diagnosed with it.

Most of those who contract the virus clear it as a simple flu,not knowing it was Corona.


Just want to quote this again as this is may be the sanest post in this thread.

The at risk groups appear to be the elderly, long term smokers, diabetics etc. Basically the same at risk groups as the flu.

It will likely cause more deaths than flu because it seems to show little to no symptoms in healthy individuals, so it has the potential to spread must faster.

As for the doom and gloom merchants. I feel for your mental health and chances are this will fizzle out in the next few months as the weather warms up. Stay safe and don't panic.

This virus will be a godsend to countries like Japan and many western countries with an aging population. It kills the old and sick. It kills those who are a cost, not a source of income. Thus, this will benefit the global economy.

Death-rates among those below 50 is 0.5 percent. Above 80. about 14+ percent.

Just want to quote this again as this is may be the sanest post in this thread.

The at risk groups appear to be the elderly, long term smokers, diabetics etc. Basically the same at risk groups as the flu.

It will likely cause more deaths than flu because it seems to show little to no symptoms in healthy individuals, so it has the potential to spread must faster.

As for the doom and gloom merchants. I feel for your mental health and chances are this will fizzle out in the next few months as the weather warms up. Stay safe and don't panic.


I am in the age group which so far is the most severely affected by the coronavirus. As far as I know, I've never had the flu. I have had bronchial pneumonia several times beginning in infancy. I've been told that those who have had pneumonia are more susceptible to getting it again. For this reason, I get a pneumonia shot annually. I also have allergies and asthma,which do not require treatment because neither are that bad. I've only had one asthma episode and that was when I was a juvenile. For the most part I am healthy with a good immune system. Although, I am vigilant about the coronavirus, I am not going to worry myself into a tizzy over it. Worry and stress can and often do contribute a weakened immunity to illnesses.

Your risk factor will decrease if you've not a smoker (ideally never smoked). People who seem to fall to it rapidly have underlying health issues with their heart, kidney etc. Diabetes is another risk factor.

If you're healthy as you say you are then the odds are greatly in your favour.

Useful information about the matter.

US have only 60 cases, 6 recovered. In couple of  weeks there will be 60 000 cases or more, so we will see how it goes. Trump says there is no worry about this, meaning himself. All other americans should be worried.. ;D

Why? All other countries has free medical care, so if you going to be sick/hospitalized by this virus, it doesn't cost anything for you. How about 2 weeks in intensive care unit in US?  They send you a bill for 1 000 000$ or more.  ;D ;D

Completely missed the point.The first people cleared from this are showing up now in Wuhan "reinfected", the theory Is they never lost it in the first place, it just laid dormant and now has re-emerged.....

Let's just ignore the media completely and focus on what the scientific papers and statistics up until now are saying.Flu has an R-0 of 1.3, that means for every 1 person who gets flu, they infect 1.3 people.You have seen how the common flu has fucked shit up year by year and on occasions made many of your work/office not show up?The coronavirus in the latest studies has been shown to have an R-0 of 4-6, that means for every 1 person who has it, they infect 4-6 people.Flu has a death rate of 0.1%, the coronavirus on completed cases is killing 8%.Even if we use the uncompleted cases too with people who still have the virus, it's hovering around 2%.

Now add to that the possibility these figures all being wrong because nobody is being cured anyway.....

This is correct. The exception being in hot counties which have populations who work and live primary in air conditioned environment. But yes. Will spread more in colder climates. Both due to survival of virus as well as humans staying indoors in closer contact.

is it OK if I buy junk food or does it have to be healthy, if so can you please define "healthy" for me....

My definition of healthy food is calorie dense, filling food that helps keep you at a healthy weight because you don't overeat.Rice, oatmeal, beans etc.obviously I don't mean drinking olive oil at the other the of the spectrum.

He said healthy food, but it doesn’t matter at this point, you’re lucky to have survived this long.

Army of One must live in a dangerous area that he’d be looting with bloodthirsty gunmen named Jamal and Tyrone.

I wonder what his actual social interactions consist of?

This happened in the UK just because a black guy with a gun was killed.





This happened in L.A just because a black man was beaten





What do you think is going to happen when 20% say of these black guys lose their parents because the hospitals are turning them away because they have no rooms?no drugs?They will all party in the streets?That's just 1 example of many of how this could go very bad, very quickly.

I think the same thing could happen that happened in 92. If there is a riot it will be in the rioting community. There wont be a mass mob traveling together across the nation.

College towns riot when their team wins a game.

Having food is a good idea but it wont stop a riot from taking place or having said rioters come to your home.

It wont matter though as most rioters will be to sick to do anything physical.

A common tactic to convince people that they are wrong is equate intelligence with the other side.  They do this in politics all the time.  People with higher IQ's or college degrees are voting for candidate X and uneducated voters are voting for candidate Y.

As I said in a previous post, those on the high IQ side of that graph are going to look foolish in a few months and I am coming back to this thread to gloat.

The 1938 radio broadcast of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds caused a panic. Depending on what you read, if it was indeed a panic of large scale remains debatable.

If 3 people die, they'll bring the families to the debate and debate and demand Trump apologize. I know he's worried about the stock market but it's in the bag.

I’m also a Trump supporter and I believe he’s handling this poorly, not so say Dems would do anything better. But the whole pandemic is being handled by incompetent people who are comparing this to the flu. That’s big government for you, I believe this is a planned culling of the masses.

I’m also a Trump supporter and I believe he’s handling this poorly, not so say Dems would do anything better. But the whole pandemic is being handled by incompetent people who are comparing this to the flu. That’s big government for you, I believe this is a planned culling of the masses.

If Trump had done NOTHING we'd be in better shape to handle a potential pandemic

As usual, whenever Trump does something he only makes things worse

Last week, the US government overruled objections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to put 14 coronavirus-infected Americans on an airplane with other healthy people.

We have a virtually non-functioning government after almost 4 years of the Retard in Chief dismantling our health infrastructure

Quote
In the spring of 2018, the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated.

In 2005, during the H1N5 bird flu scare, the US Agency for International Development ran a program called Predict to identify and research infectious diseases in animal populations in the developing world. Most new viruses that impact humans — apparently including the one causing the Covid-19 disease — emerge through this route, so investing in early research is the kind of thing that, at modest ongoing cost, served to reduce the likelihood of rare but catastrophic events.

The program was initiated under George W. Bush and continued through Barack Obama’s eight years in office; then, last fall the Trump administration shut it down.

Don't drink the cool aid. Obama didn't declare an emergency with the swine flu until 1000 people died in the US. 200K died world wide. Lets keep all of this in perspective.  The common flu kills up to 650K a year and 8000 have died in the US in 2019 from the common flu. Trump shut down flights from China limiting our exposure. The Democrats and their complicit news providers are using this disease for politics to regain power. The fear created has crashed the stock market. Mission accomplished Democrats. We just had the first death in the US from the Corona virus today. As far as cuts to the CDC by Trump this happened when it was bloated and working on nothing. It can be revamped quickly.

I am a Trump supporter and a Conservative and him calling this a hoax is political dynamite. Even if it is a hoax, all it takes is one or 2 people to die, even if it can't be proven they had it, and the left is going to run ads of the Corona victim in the hospital with his family giving him a fuckin Teddy Bear intercut with Trump calling it a hoax. If 3 people die, they'll bring the families to the debate and debate and demand Trump apologize. I know he's worried about the stock market but it's in the bag. Like Deontay Wilder, Dems are just awaiting their knockout and you give them this? 

He didn't say it was a hoax. This junk was already debunked, the transcripts are out there that provide context and an factual account of what was actually said.

Well?

"We are stronger, we are better, but while we are building a great future, the radical left Democrats in Washington are trying to burn it all down. They have spent the last three years, and I can even go further than that, three years since the election, but we go before the election, working to erase your ballots and overthrow our democracy. But with your help, we have exposed the far left’s corruption and defeated their sinister schemes and let’s see what happens in the coming months. Let’s watch. Let’s just watch. Very dishonest people.

 Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.

But we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We have 15 people in this massive country and because of the fact that we went early. We went early, we could have had a lot more than that. We’re doing great. Our country is doing so great. "

Trump called the Democrat line that he had failed on the Coronavirus public health issue "their new hoax",alongside previous "hoaxes" like impeachment - not that the Coronavirus itself was a hoax.

Here's the transcript, I've already posted in the thread.

"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count.

The people freaking out are the people who understand exponential growth.Again, it's looking like it's 5x or more infectious and 20x+ more deadly. Actually think about what it's like to have 1 person infect an average of 5 people, compared to flu infecting 1.3.Then think about those 1 out of every thousand dying of flu, compared to 20 out of a thousand dying from getting coronavirus.Then think about the fact those flu deaths don't overwhelm the hospitals, then think about the almost certainty the corona deaths will.At that point you can throw the 2% fatality of corona out the window because if people who need respirators, iv etc are not getting medical care then that % will go through the roof.Think about what the figures are going to look like in a month,2 months etc...

Trump called the politicizing the virus for political gain a hoax. We have one death and that's because Trump stopped the flights from China from coming in. He declared this an emergency early as opposed to Obama who waited till their was around 1000 deaths from the Swine flu in the US then appointed an Al Gore flunky as the czar in charge of fighting it. Trump picked the number two most powerful man in the country to be the liaison between the government and the doctors and scientists of the CDC. Make no mistake Democrats are using this disease as a political weapon. The stock market has crashed due to their fear mongering. Nothing would make Democrats happier than for the economy to fail so they can blame Trump so they can regain power to line their pockets.

This.

Care to explain?

CDC estimates that flu has resulted in between 9.3 million and 49 million illnesses each year in the United States since 2010.Multiply that by 5 or more, then factor in because more people get infected and get infected quicker, they can then pass it on much quicker, the exponential effect it will have.

if we just take the middle range of those numbers and multiply by a conservative 5, that's 30 million x 5.150 million Americans, USA population is 327 million, so it's basically 50% like predicted.

This is what Trump said. He was referring to Democrats politicizing the disease.

"One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over. They’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.”

Liberals are hateful, intolerant, violent and spin the truth to lies for political gain.

"The influence of COVID-19 on the human body is like a combination of SARS and AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems," Peng Zhiyong, director of the intensive care unit of the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in Wuhan, told the Global Times on Friday. "

It's nothing like flu, it's like calling a dog a cat.Its basically airborne viral pneumonia that will kill 10 %+ of the population if hospitals get overrun, which thy will.There are already studies out that disprove every aspect of your assumption that it's just flu.Even looking at your own country, 35 or so have died and 1700 infected, most early stage so many more will die of the 1700.Even if no more were to die of that 1700 that's still 2%.When the hospitals are all full and people can't get treatment expect that % to rise rapidly.

You're fooled. Known virologists came out saying that this is madness, creating fear for nothing, since the virus is nothing more than a flu.

The people who died were basically all 70-80-90 years old people with pre-existing diseases like cancer and such. They had their immune-system already compromised and shut down.

Exactly the same stuff that happens with a flu. Lots of people are dying to flu every year, check the numbers, but i don't see all this nonsense happening.

You are basically just agreeing with me.whats going to happen when the 70-80-90 years old people with pre-existing diseases like cancer and such, clog up every available medical resource in Italy?when all the drugs are gone because they are given to them?What happens when the 19 year old fast spreading melanoma patient comes in who will die in 2 weeks if he isn't scanned?When the 5 23yr old car wreck critical patients can't get beds?When the 7yr old asthmatic can't get access to oxygen?When the 14yr old diabetic can't get his insulin?You are thinking WAY too basic and 1 level about this all.

Again it's going EXPONENTIAL.When there are 5x the weekly flu patients coming in from corona in a short time from now, and most countries couldn't handle the current flu rate doubling, what do you think will happen?

No offense but as said elsewhere, this doomsday thinking is deja vu all over again. 

But again, I hope it decimates libs, ChiComs and islime so thoroughly they never recover.    They deserve to be wiped clean by the wrath of Nature.

You hope is wasted. Viruses, including the Coronavirus, don't discriminate between liberal and conservative folks, communists, socialist and capitalist or against people of different religious beliefs. It does however favor killing people beyond a certain age and those already suffering poor health. You'd do better to hope science finds a vaccine to help prevent old, sick people catching it.

Relax at the end of the day facts are facts,  Its the flu just a lot more contagious than your standard flu and only 2% of people who contract it are dieing with a large majority being in the 70+ population.  The main bumble fuck will be economic slow down due to so many people being sick since the virus is highly contagious and also people avoiding large events/gatherings and slow down in commerce due to the virus being so contagious.  Your best defense is avoiding large gatherings of people always washing hands and not touching your face (eyes, nose, mouth).   Its not end of days or NWO end of the stock market its an unaccounted blip in world growth for 2020.   China estimated a 6% growth annually for 2020 if they produce a 0% growth in Quarter 1 and or Quarter 2 it will make it impossible to hit 6% growth for the year like projected, Therefor china will be in a recession for the year of 2020, with a growth of 3-4% annually due to the virus, so the world economy should see a hit since china is such a large piece of the pie.  The same is the inverse!!!

THe last 10 years have been awesome for the USA stock market!!!!  Has anyone bothered to look at the Chinese stock market and economy the past 10 years?    Yeah they've had tremendous GROWTH more so than the USA!!!

Worry and fear are survival instincts to tip you off to danger.

And scared squirrels are at the top of the food chain.

Again worrying is not real,  If you have a problem there are two choices you can do something about it So worrying is stupid you should focus on what you can do to change things, Or you can't change things and its stupid to worry about because you're just making yourself feel shitty early about something that will eventually come and theres nothing you can do.

Worry and Fear are defense mechanisms to make you feel better about not doing anything.

My wife and I had flight and resort reservations for a trip to the Caribbean, but a hurricane delayed
our flight by a few days.  When we arrived at the resort, the place was almost empty, so Marriott
upgraded us to the more expensive section of the resort (closer to the kitchen and staff) for free. 
They benefited from fewer staff and less work; we benefited from nicer accommodations.

6 people dead, and dear leader hasn't figured it out


https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/02/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-vaccine-push-back/index.html

President Donald Trump was contradicted by a health expert on his coronavirus task force over the timing for a potential vaccine during a briefing Monday.

Trump was asked about a timeline for a vaccine during the Cabinet Room meeting with pharmaceutical executives and members of his task force.
"I don't know what the time will be. I've heard very quick numbers, that of months. And I've heard pretty much a year would be an outside number. So I think that's not a bad range. But if you're talking about three to four months in a couple of cases, a year in other cases," Trump said.
But Dr. Antony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, immediately corrected the President: "Let me make sure you get the ... information. A vaccine that you make and start testing in a year is not a vaccine that's deployable."

OK, I will listen to their advice
Quote
If you are in an area where there is an outbreak of COVID-19 you need to take the risk of infection seriously. Follow the advice issued by national and local health authorities. Although for most people COVID-19 causes only mild illness, it can make some people very ill. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. Older people, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes) appear to be more vulnerable.

No one realizes they have a vaccine already? Gotta get the death count high enough for maximum profit when they release it. Government has been doing this shit forever. They are working out the financials of who gets the patent and what government officials get the kickbacks.They don't want another debacle like the flu virus where all the companies were fighting over the patent and profit was diluted.

WHO says coronavirus death rate is 3.4% globally

"To put the current COVID-19 estimates in context, the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic — one of the deadliest of all time — infected about 500 million people, and killed more than 2.5 percent of all those infected."

THIS is what the only 2.5% was like:

Army, as you know now, I am fully connected with a wide range of broad and advance information on this. Overall death rate of all infected people is lower that what you are citing. However, if you are to take the rate of those who are positively diagnosed in the first place, and who of course have been ill enough to have gone to a doctor and then to have been further tested, then yes you get the death rate you have mentioned (indeed even higher if you were to take certain demographics). But, again, as I have advised before, there are many many in our populations who are infected and show almost no symptoms - eg kids who may get a slight fever and cough but who continue to go to school, run around etc, teenagers who also seem to handle the virus well, and also many who it hits pretty hard, like an awful flu, but who recover quite fine (possibly with some slight residual lung or organ damage which will largely heal over time).

Again, if anyone has questions, I can answer.

They are trying to get China out of the picture for Gilead pharma stock(NASDAQ:GILD) to get the full patent. Insiders like government puppets will know how the patent will work out before Wall Street and use the Hunter Biden type puppets to invest for them. And isn't China nice? Worried about the patent war while it's people are dying.

China Wants To Patent Gilead's Experimental Coronavirus Drug(Investors Business Daily)

Chinese researchers have applied for a patent on an antiviral drug candidate called remdesevir owned by Gilead Sciences Inc. The drug is being tested in clinical trials in short order, but the company could eventually be cut out.

If the patent is granted, it will confirm long-standing drugmaker fears about China’s commitment to IP protection, raising concern about the industry’s future in a crucial market. It also could further erode the already weak incentives for pharma to invest in drugs to combat emerging infectious diseases. The risks of seizing the patent may outweigh any benefit.

It seem to me that there will be WHO statistics and death rate which has been calculated by the facts, and then US statistics, which has been calculated by patients income. At the moment there is 125 cases of this virus in the US, and 9 deaths. Only 8 has recovered, and US is only country where amount of deaths is larger than amount of recovered people. Amount of cases has doubled from Monday, and amount of deaths has tripled. Let see where this is going  ;D

What the govts are doing now will cause a GFC in Q2.

By Q3 i reckon they will open it all back up.

My opinion is April will be the tipping point when supply shortages starts to hit the shelves. Right now, freighters are not running out of China, i am getting freight on passenger airlines. Sea vessels are being docked.to increase pricing and cover.costs of landed fleets.

It's insane what they are doing right now putting up walls. The only outline short term (as in inside 6 months) will be to open the borders again. It's already with all of us. In a year we will have it anyway. Might aswell have a functioning economy who gets sick than mass unemployed tanked economy who gets sick.

Just wait and see, they'll open it back up......

It takes week or two, depending how serious it is.

Just reading comforting news about the matter: By the statistics so far, about 1 third of the population will get this infection. From that amount, 80% get the mild form of the virus. The rest 20% get more serious infection, and about 2- 2,5% of those will die.  In USA it means that from the population of 330 million people 110 million get this virus, and 88 million people get the mild  form. The rest 22 million get more serious symptoms, and from that bunch, 2,5%, meaning 550 000 people, will die..so as you see, it is just a piece of cake. Nothing to worry about, and Trump already promised that he will protect you all. You know, he knows more than doctors about this matter, just trust him..  ;D

Coronavirus infects Amazon employee in Seattle, company says

An Amazon employee in Seattle, Wash., has contracted the novel coronavirus — the first employee among its U.S. workforce to fall ill will COVID-19, the company said.

"We're supporting the affected employee who is in quarantine," an Amazon spokesperson told Fox News.

The e-commerce giant on Tuesday told employees in an email about the employee, who works at Amazon’s South Lake Union office complex in Seattle, where the company’s headquarters are located, Bloomberg reported. The employee left work on Feb. 25 “due to an illness” that the company said it was later informed was the coronavirus. All other employees who came into contact with the sick worker have since been notified.

The latest from my people in China is that they have discovered that covid19 has 2 mutations S-Cov and L-Cov.

S-Cov was the likely earlier strain as it's similar to bat Coronavirus and is the milder of the 2. L-Cov is more virulent, has a higher translatability and causes more harm to the respiratory system. It may be possible to become infected by one, recover and then become infected by the other. Further mutations are also possible.

L-Cov spread more rapidly in China despite it being newer, but since early January it's been on the decline.

So what should you take away from this.  You can be the type who thinks more virulent version won't hang around for much longer, the majority might end up experiencing a milder version and in a few months time people will shrug their shoulders and wonder what all the fuss was about. Or you can Army of one it and sit in a dark room with a loaded revolver ready to blow your brains out at the first sign of you developing a cough.

Those slanty eye fooks are also trying to put the idea out that the Corona virus might not have actually originated in China. Yeah right.

Understand now.

Also I posted info even the WHO are yet to have access to. The virulent L-Cov strain that was responsible for the most deaths started declining in January before the Wuhan lockdown. It likely peaked during the cold months like most virulent viruses do. This is possibly the strain that was doing the rounds in Northern Italy where it was able to last out in the cold mountain air.

The milder S-Cov form seems to be more resistant to the warmer weather and will likely hang around for a while. But the death rate with that will drop significantly.

You keep potatoing though, it's good entertainment.

It is only natural to wonder if the primary reason people support Trump is the healthy economy, what happens to their support should the economy falter. It is possible Trump has too many eggs in one basket.

"Depending on the quality of the healthcare system where it's treated"

Doesn't matter if it's China,UK or USA , no treatment is no treatment.Once hospitals and emergency services are overrun watch that mortality rate shoot up.

And if hospitals are not overrun? There are 31,845,260 745,957 staffed hospital beds in the U.S.

Sorry about that. I read the total from the wrong column in the chart. According to the information I found, there are 745,957 staffed beds. The 31,845,260 figure is the number of discharges.

https://www.ahd.com/state_statistics.html

A more current estimate (2020) shows there are a total of 924,107
staffed beds in all U.S. hospitals. This includes non-medical facilities.

At the moment there is 159 cases of covid-19 in US, 11 deaths and 8 recovered patients. For some reason there is lot of countries where has been like in Singapore 110 cases and 78 recovered, no deaths. It will be interesting to see when amount of recovered patients start it's rise by that ultimate and great health care system of yours. It should be skyrocketing in any minute now..  ;D

In America, the average total daily occupancy of all hospital beds is around 66%, give or take a percent -

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/2017/089.pdf (last page).

The bigger problem is emergency care and ICU beds, particularity in urban areas. They are usually in the 70% +, range, but big city urban hospitals can see swells into the 90 percents at times.

Making my last trip to the shops for awhile today. Seems early to pull back for my area, which is good. Still going to work but am often alone there.

No idea what 27 pages has concluded but believe that
      - Most of us will get it, just like any flu going around.
      - Most of us will be fine, just like always.

But nobody knows anything for certain. I'm a little skeezed out by government and WHO statements, which is more than just the media selling hype.

So have a couple months worth of most things. Water and gas set aside for very unlikely SHTF contingency, but it would require the fall of the government for things like that to disappear. Pretty hard to stockpile for every eventuality when you're a disorganized and busy fuckhead like myself, so am going to have to attend a public setting at some point or at least be around someone, even if times is bad. Fwiw I like the Sundstrom SR200 with their 510 filter. Their Sr100 is a good mask too for adults. Been using them for years. Tyvek suit and work over delicate disposable gloves complete the apocalypse ensemble.

The Aussies seem to believe that toilet paper and anti-bac hand sanitizer will save them. You can procure these nowhere at the moment lol. If you haven't stocked up, go right now. Shortages are going to be deadlier than the disease if there's panic buying and/or supply interruptions. There's no reason to spend the End Of Times in a catabolic state.

Almost as far west as you can get on the mainland. I live in a suburb of Portland, OR. Last I heard there was only one know case here.

My sources tells me this is false.

It's impossible for it to pass directly between species like that. It's more likely the dog has a canine version of coronavirus.

South Korean data is the most accurate. Also there are at least 2 covid viruses of different virulence that have been identified. We do not know yet what Covid virus is where.

The chinks should be open to U.S. litigation.  I haven't had time to study the capsid (the protein structure which needs to be compromised to attack the RNA) design but phuck me if this isn't a biological warfare weapon. infected individuals and family of the deceased should be entitled to no less than an eight figure settlement. 


People I have on the ground in China tell me that some Chinese think it was the US deliberately spreading it in China. They can even trace it back to a summit near the fish market which is believed to be ground zero where there were US officials attending.

Both scenarios seem unlikely though.

LOL....your totally wrong^

More retarded "expert commentary" bullshit talk in this thread.

The capsid is the outer protein membrane of the virus, the capsid contains the viral rna (or dna depending on the virus). It doesn't need to be compromised nor does it attack the rna.

The capsid attaches to a host cell and the virion injects it's rna into the host cell (respiratory cell in this case) from there the rna replicates using host cell machinery, when the cells resources are exhausted many new viral particles are released as the host cell dies.

Yes, you are right. The tendency is to go all out when there is a threat. One school in my neighboring city of Lake Oswego, has been closed for a week because an employee tested positive for the coronavirus. Supposedly they've disinfected the entire building and it's contents (as if the is even possible). It was closed to appease the parents and other staff members. IMO.

Carbs are worthless and in higher amounts cause more harm than good. If u want to boost your immune system, fast for 48-72 hrs every now and then. Also try intermittent fasting every day like 16 hours without eating and you only eat in the 8 hour window. 20/4 is even better but hard to maintain BB weight. The worst thing u can do when sick is stuff yourself with food, especially poor quality high carb food. 
Regarding nutrients, get yourself some high quality red grass-fed meat and organs especially liver. Eat fish like sardines, mackerel and wild caught salmon. Get some canned cod liver.
Regarding vitamin C, make sure it doesn‘t come in the form of ascorbic acid. At least get some sodium ascorbate form of vitamin C.
Remember guys, when u get sick your body is better off without food for some time so it can focus on dealing with the issues rather than digesting food etc.

Well this is with zero cases in the area. The problem i have is logically if you have zero and you close, then it needs to be indefinitely closed until it passes. If you close at zero, open and there is 10 cases then.you deserve to get sued into oblivion.

You shut down when you have no choice. It's too costly to shut early because once you take that moral stance, you cannot reopen to cause infections. You will be sued, period.

True. The internet is full of crackpots with outrageous theories and conspiracies working to destroy life as we know it. And there's the profiteers seeking to make a fortune off 'snake oil' cures.

Misuse of antibiotics and antivirals may result in new stronger strains of these things which become increasing more difficult to fight off. The misuse is most often the fault of the patient and not the medical profession.

The concept of autophagy seems to make sense. If it is a natural way of ridding the body of damaged cells wouldn't it happen automatically?  Maybe we humans are so out of touch with our bodies needs, we no longer respond to a natural inclination to fast when ill. You see a distinct loss of appetite in other animals who are sick.

How many of us have heard the phrase "feed a cold and starve a fever"? This is only partly true according to some medical professionals. Most of us aren’t exactly ravenous when we’re feeling under the weather. That’s because appetite is naturally suppressed when we’re sick so that energy can be directed toward the immune system rather than digestion.

This might explain why it generally isn't a good idea to eat immediately prior to exercising. It depletes our energy for having a good workout. I had this experience the other day when I ate two slices of pizza shortly before working out. I had almost no energy for the workout.

Seasonal Flu kills 646,000 people a year worldwide. Corona is a new flu. The fear is not that it's going to kill you, it has a mortality rate right now about what the seasonal flu has, about 0.2%, but the overwhelming majority will not die. The seasonal flu kills a tiny percentage of people, for example elderly with weakened immune systems. Even though we can't imagine dying of seasonal flu, take a Nyquil, adding a NEW flu to the world could kill hundreds of thousands of people based on its mortality rate, which is why containment is the issue, not that it's going to kill you. But if you get Corona, 99.7% chance you'll get the sniffles and feel like shit. It's a worldwide issue of numbers and containment, the fear mongering press is selling fear so you're afraid to go outside.

Fucken moron - is that you Don?

3.4% Mortality Rate estimate by the World Health Organization (WHO) as of March 3
In his opening remarks at the March 3 media briefing on Covid-19, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated:

“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.” [13]

Initial estimate was 2%
Initially, the World Health Organization (WHO) had mentioned 2% as a mortality rate estimate in a press conference on Wednesday, January 29 [1][2] and again on February 10. However, on January 29 WHO specified that this was a very early and provisional estimate that might have changed. Surveillance was increasing, within China but also globally, but at the time it was said that:

We don't know how many were infected ("When you look at how many people have died, you need to look at how many people where infected, and right now we don't know that number. So it is early to put a percentage on that."[1][2]).
The only number currently known is how many people have died out of those who have been reported to the WHO.
It is therefore very early to make any conclusive statements about what the overall mortality rate will be for the novel coronavirus, according to the World Health Organization [1][2].

Numbers are political, but take your number of 3.4%. My point is the same, it's about containment, not freaking that you're going to die. It's horrifying that a million a year could die IF 3.4% is correct, but 96.6% of people will get the flu. 3% of people have weakened immune systems in general. My only point is that it's containment, you're not going to die to you and your fear mongering crowd. I'm not at all downplaying the worldwide significance.

What happens when hospitals are full, medicines have run out , and young kids or young adults need medicines to stay alive through conditions like diabetes, or need emergency surgery etc?at this rate you can expect UK/USA cases to be 10x+ in numbers within 10 days, 10 days after that I dont even want to imagine.The stress on health services will be immense.

See above. Although focussing on age might not be the most accurate way of looking at things. Deaths are mostly related to immunocompromised health conditions. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, liver disease etc. Things which are more common amongst the elderly.

"perfect" - adjective used to describe the gullible nature of GOP voters


WASHINGTON — Friday evening found Vice President Pence in an uncommon and uncomfortable position: Having to downplay and contradict assertions made by his boss. It proved a delicate act for Pence, who has
become the face of the administration’s coronavirus response, and who has sought to project an aura of steely confidence.

Trump can sometimes frustrate those efforts, as he did during visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Friday afternoon.

Wearing a red “Keep America Great” baseball cap, the president used the occasion to offer his freewheeling thoughts on everything ranging from Fox News ratings to the educational pedigree of his uncle John Trump, who was a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor.

But there were also blatantly incorrect claims, too, as when Trump said that “anybody that needs a test gets a test” for coronavirus. In fact, the CDC has badly lagged in preparing a nationwide testing regime, and only a minuscule percentage of Americans can currently be tested. That percentage will grow in the coming days, but not nearly as quickly as public health experts believe is necessary to contain the disease, which has infected at least 280 people and killed 15 in the U.S..

Trump also said during his CDC tour that the tests are “all perfect,” comparing it to his “perfect” phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That phone call served as the basis for the impeachment inquiry that culminated in Trump’s acquittal last month.

In fact, an initial CDC test was flawed, which delayed its implementation by about two weeks, during a critical period in February when the virus was spreading in Washington state and elsewhere.

Trump added that he would rather not allow infected Americans to disembark the Grand Princess cruise ship that has been floating off the coast of Northern California. “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship,” Trump complained as his secretary of Health and Human Services and the director of the CDC looked on.

The White House briefing of the coronavirus task force began almost as soon as Trump’s remarks in Atlanta ended, which all but assured that Pence — who Trump appointed to head the task force — would be forced to account for the president’s statements.

Seriously? That's what Trump said? Who gives a shit what he needs. This is not about him. Potentially everyone could be affected by the coronavirus. It's what we the people need that he should be thinking about, including those aboard the Grand Princess.

The lock-down will last until early April.
The dramatic escalation in the country's efforts to contain the new coronavirus will close gyms, pools, museums and ski resorts.
Italy is Europe's worst-hit country and reported a steep rise in virus infections on Saturday.
The new measures, which also apply to financial centre Milan and tourist hotspot Venice will last until 3 April.
The death toll in Italy has passed 230, with officials reporting more than 50 deaths in 24 hours. The number of confirmed cases jumped by more than 1,200 to 5,883 on Saturday.

Just because the outbreak seems to have originated in China, does not signify that it is a Chinese based virus. If that were the case Chinese folks would exclusively have it. Unless some of those Chinese workers in the garment factories very recently either immigrated from or returned after a visit to China the likelihood they have anything to do with the alarmingly expeditious spread of the coronavirus in Italy is merely coincidental. Whatever connection there may be between the number of cases in each location has not yet been established.

There have been 16 deaths from the coronavirus in Washington state. Fourteen are associated with Life Care Center In Kirkland. It is a senior assisted living facility.

Yes well, I may have worded my post badly. The point is that it would be a mistake to think that just because someone is Chinese they are spreading the virus. Since anyone can get the virus, it should follow that anyone can spread it too. It is of course possible that someone who came from China or someone who traveled to China and back brought the virus with them. Since Italian clothing manufacturer workers make "sweatshop wages" it is not likely a lot of them can afford to vacation in China. One possibility is that some Chinese folks who recently came to Italy to work, were already sick with the virus.

A lot of those 'sweatshop' factories use Chinese workers, often illegally.

Especially those producing counterfeit clothing, such as in Naples.

Yes this is likely true. However, only if those workers came to Italy fairly recently and already infected with the coronavirus, would their being Chinese have anything to do with the outbreak in Italy. The main point is it would be a mistake and grossly misleading to suggest only Chinese people spread the virus.

Every virus has an origin. A point zero, if you will. We often never really know what that point was or is.

Facts about Italy: over dozen of clothing factories around Milan, they employ Chinese workers as a cheap labour,

some places have 50 Chinese, others to 400.They work & live together !.

So, guess who introduced this flu to Milan/Lombardi !.  ;)

Can you breakdown this guy's thoughts?His call on Italy 3 weeks before it even happened was way too accurate for him not to be telling the truth.

Italy has placed up to 16 million people under quarantine as it battles to contain the spread of coronavirus.

Anyone living in Lombardy and 14 other central and northern provinces will need special permission to travel. Milan and Venice are both affected.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also announced the closure of schools, gyms, museums, nightclubs and other venues across the whole country.

The measures, the most radical taken outside China, will last until 3 April.

Italy has seen the largest number of coronavirus infections in Europe, with the number of confirmed cases jumping by more than 1,200 to 5,883 on Saturday.

The strict new quarantine measures affect a quarter of the Italian population and centre on the rich northern part of the country that powers its economy.

The death toll in Italy has passed 230, with officials reporting more than 36 deaths in 24 hours.

“Who would have thought?” he asked during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nerve center for the government’s response to the outbreak. “Who would have thought we would even be having the subject?”

Actually, quite a few people would have thought, and did — including the officials in his own White House who were in charge of preparing for just such a pandemic only to have their office shut down in a reorganization in 2018. “The threat of pandemic flu is the No. 1 health security concern,” one of the officials said the day before that happened two years ago. “Are we ready to respond? I fear the answer is no.”

For a president who lives in the moment, rarely planning too far ahead, the coronavirus has proved to be a leadership challenge he was not prepared for either. The outbreak that has rattled the nation does not respond to Mr. Trump’s favorite instruments of power: It cannot be cowed by Twitter posts, it cannot be shot down by drones, it cannot be overcome by party solidarity, it cannot be overpowered by campaign rally chants.

Mr. Trump, who is at his strongest politically when he has a human enemy to attack, has seemed less certain of how to take on an invisible killer. The role of calming natural leader is not one that has come easily as he struggles to find the balance between public reassurance and Panglossian dismissiveness. He has predicted that the virus will “miraculously” disappear on its own with warmer weather, suggested a vaccine will be available soon and insisted anyone who wants to be tested can be — all overstated or inaccurate.

He has expressed an astonishing lack of knowledge while at the same time claiming to be a medical savant. He has treated the crisis as a partisan battle, wearing his red Keep America Great campaign cap to the C.D.C. and calling the governor presiding over the state with the highest death toll a “snake.” He even admitted that he wanted to leave passengers stranded on a cruise ship rather than see statistics for the number of cases on American soil go up because it would look bad.

“If we really want to talk about what is going to potentially create panic in this country, it’s an administration that’s just not being straight with the American public about the extent of this epidemic and the real-life consequences that could be put upon Americans,” Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS.

Dr. Jonathan S. Reiner, a prominent cardiologist who treated former Vice President Dick Cheney and wrote a book with him, said he was convinced that the Trump administration failed to move more quickly to test for the virus after it emerged in China because the White House did not want to admit the scope of the threat.

“When the story is finally written,” he said on Sunday, “we’ll come to understand that tens of thousands of lives were placed at risk because of a political decision made by the president.”


Mr. Trump, who was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, rejected the criticism on Sunday, pointing to the travel restrictions he imposed early on China, later adding limits or warnings to other affected places like Iran and parts of South Korea and Italy.

“We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus,” he wrote on Twitter moments after arriving at his golf club in West Palm Beach, where he played with several members of the World Series champion Washington Nationals. “We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!”

After initially brushing off warnings by his health secretary as “alarmist,” Mr. Trump in the last two weeks has taken a more assertive public role on the coronavirus, assigning Vice President Mike Pence to lead the government efforts and making multiple appearances to signal that he takes the threat seriously.

But he has also taken a business-as-usual approach to the rest of his schedule, refusing to cancel campaign rallies, fund-raisers or social events even as other large gatherings of Americans are scrubbed. Asked by a reporter on Saturday night if he was worried that infections were getting closer to the White House, Mr. Trump said, “No, I’m not concerned at all.”

The president then went inside Mar-a-Lago to host a lavish birthday party for the former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr. and turns 51 on Monday, a preview perhaps of the celebration that may be held next month when Melania Trump turns 50. Among those spotted at the revelry were boldface names from Mr. Trump’s circle, including Mr. Pence, Lindsey Graham, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz.

Mr. Trump happily introduced his visitor, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, to Mr. Carlson and other guests in a video shared on social media, boasting that he “gave him a good gift” by not imposing tariffs on Brazil and “that made him much more popular.” Mr. Bolsonaro laughed and said, “Sí.” A smiling Mr. Pence turned to the camera and playfully repeated, “Sí.”

The first lady did not make the trip to Florida, but she faced a fiddling-while-Rome-burns blowback of her own over the weekend after posting online photographs of herself in a hard hat overseeing the privately financed construction of a new tennis pavilion at the White House.

“I encourage everyone who chooses to be negative & question my work at the @WhiteHouse to take time and contribute something good & productive in their own communities,” she wrote on Twitter on Saturday, adding her anti-bullying slogan, “#BeBest.”

By the president’s own account, the coronavirus has been an education for him. He has acknowledged that “I didn’t know people died from the flu” — tens of thousands, in fact, each year in the United States — even though, as The Washington Post pointed out, his own grandfather died of influenza during the 1918 epidemic.

But he has credited himself with instinctive understanding of the science. “I like this stuff. I really get it,” he said at the C.D.C. on Friday. “People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

Mr. Trump rejected criticism of the slow distribution of test kits, framing it in terms evoking his battle against impeachment. “The tests are all perfect,” he told reporters, “like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect, right?” — a reference to the rough transcript of his telephone call with Ukraine’s president that led to his own impeachment for abuse of power.

The president’s less-than-perfect pronouncements, however, left public health officials straining to reconcile them on the Sunday talk shows. Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about a White House aide’s assertion that the coronavirus had been “contained,” Dr. Jerome M. Adams, the surgeon general, said: “Well, this is a novel virus. It’s a new situation. And the messaging, quite frankly, is hard.”

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also appeared to walk back the president’s claim that “anyone who wants a test can get a test,” saying on “Fox News Sunday” that it would actually be up to a doctor.

Mr. Trump has become such a polarizing figure that even when he is not necessarily wrong, many do not trust him. On Sean Hannity’s Fox News show last week, he called the World Health Organization’s estimated fatality rate of 3.4 percent “a false number,” saying “my hunch” was that it would be under 1 percent. It sounded as if he were substituting his uneducated “hunch” for the judgment of professionals.

But in fact, he was reflecting what he had been told by health experts, including Dr. Fauci and Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the C.D.C. director, who have concluded that once the full scope of unreported infections is known, the number of deaths will most likely represent a smaller share, possibly “considerably less than” 1 percent. The W.H.O. has also said the rate may fall.

Still, at his appearance at the C.D.C., Mr. Trump had no explanation for why his White House shut down the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense established at the National Security Council in 2016 by President Barack Obama after the 2014 Ebola outbreak, stammering to suggest the coronavirus had been a surprise.

“Well, I just don’t think — I just don’t think that somebody is going to — without seeing something, like we saw something happening in China,” Mr. Trump said. “As soon as they saw that happening, they essentially — not from the White House. I mean, you know, we don’t need a lab in the White House. But they saw something happening.”

Elizabeth Cameron set up the global health security directorate at the White House for Mr. Obama before turning it over to Rear Adm. R. Timothy Ziemer, who ran it for Mr. Trump until May 2018, when he was pushed out and the directorate folded into other parts of the National Security Council. Had it still been around, it would have been charged with preparing for exactly the situation now facing the country.

“I think it would have made a difference,” Ms. Cameron said on Sunday. “Monitoring and preparing for every eventuality and having a person and a directorate accountable for that is really important and could have been important in this case.”

It's an overreaction because 600K people died on the swine flu worldwide 10 years ago and the panic wasn't 10% of this.  60 million Americans got swine flu.  This is a complete overreaction.  Hourly updates, the media, people like yourself.  Just terrible.

Lol wow.   How do people no realize there is a global slowdown in commerce.  The stock market is literally a reflection of consumer confidence and spending.   Does army of one soudn confident and hopeful for his future? So confident he’s gonna spend more money this year than last?  Or maybe the same?   Or does he sound a lil scared like it might be a rainy week and we can go outside so maybe we should stay inside and not spend money....   and the market will do this until the virus is gone.   Sorry for the bad news but someone has to inform people that it is impossible to be sunny all the time and sometimes it rains for months.  

Now as far as health wise goes it’s a flu maybe bad maybe normal.  The older you are the less STRENGTH your immune system has and the more medical complications you have diabetes hear disease kidney disease high blood pressure and all the other fun ones you take pills and do nothing healthy about yeah you run a risk to.   So I’m yeah take care of your health as much as you take care of your pecs and biceps.

Yeah 4 out of 100 people will die.  What percent of 100 people do you think are 80 and older or 5 and younger? 

And this is people infected unfortunately once it hits a nursing home or nursing home worker it spreads like fire.  Those people immune system is too WEAK to fight the virus even with hospitalization!

The real problem is once hospitals are full.In that case nearly all the 15% of infected who need oxygen, respirators etc will die.

In the United States, nearly all children become infected with RSV by age 2, with 75,000 to 125,000 of them hospitalized each year. Globally, RSV affects an estimated 64 million people and causes 160,000 deaths each year.
https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv

RSV is a virus that can cause serious respiratory infections (infections of the lungs and airways), such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis (inflammation of the airways). RSV infection occurs throughout life. In temperate countries like the UK, RSV occurs in epidemics each winter.

In infants, RSV is the main cause of bronchiolitis. Most cases of bronchiolitis are mild and can be managed at home, but about 3% of cases will need hospital care. Worldwide, RSV is the second largest cause of death in children under one year of age (second only to malaria). In 2017 the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that RSV causes around 33 million serious respiratory infections a year. This results in more than 3 million hospitalisations and nearly 60,000 deaths in children under 5 years of age every year. Nearly half of these hospitalisations and deaths are in children under 6 months of age.
https://vk.ovg.ox.ac.uk/vk/rsv

RSV-associated deaths among children <5 years of age are thought to be uncommon, estimated at 100-500 per year. Among US adults, an estimated 177,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths associated with RSV infections occur annually. However, these are likely underestimates of RSV-associated deaths.

Of the people in Italy that have Coronavirus, about .05% have died.


It’s good that they are preventing the spread by locking down travel.

 ???

The way to do it is compare the closed cases, amount who fully recovered to amount who died.Its still way too early and many many active cases will die.Of the closed cases Italy's death rate is around 30%.

Seems the likely progression as China has numbers going down. Although thry welded people into homes because the stupid plebs were ignoring the quarrantine orders. Oh well, human rights or save the people?

Market is going down hard. The bottom will be after quarantine measures have taken place. All my cash will be dumped into the market (banking, aero) and ride the wave up. No brainer.  

The cryptos were hillarious. So many wanting to get out of the dead horse that when it ramped like a bastard there was an immediate selloff pushing it back to where it was. Sucks to be those who just copped a 30% loss.

The Chinese type of quarantine will be impossible in most Western nations, even if they wanted to implement it. Most people just don't live in blocks of flats/apartments. I don't think it's needed either though, they just need to slow the spread and the warming weather will take care of the rest.

I think there is a chance the market will bear for a while after the quarantine. How many businesses can survive a month without customers, without sales, without production? How many will go bankrupt 3 months or even 6 months down the line.. If the recent market has all been a house of cards then it looks like it could be ready to collapse. It's definitely not looking good for a lot of people.

I'll be staying away from banking, but aero is of big interest.

Closed cases death rate in Italy is 6%

Italy has one of the oldest populations in Europe. Many of whom wear or still are smokers. That alone could explain the higher percentage.

724 + 463 = 1187/100 = 11.87

463/11.87 = 39% death rate

Those numbers are artificially high at the beginning as infected people haven't had a chance to recover yet. China had a death rate of 60% at the beginning, but its dropped to 5.3% as of today as more and more people have recovered. I remember people freaking out about the 60% death rate in January when this virus was first getting increased media attention.

Yes, this virus is serious but I think the way China handled it with the quarantining, and footage/propaganda the world saw of people dropping dead in the street, the body bags, the people being put into boxes in the back of a truck, spraying the streets with disinfectant, locking people into their homes etc, has spooked the world and made people and markets over-react a little. But it's good to over-react as this will make the virus go away quicker.

I think that the interconnectedness of the world through the internet and social media has fanned the flames of paranoia and panic more so than it would have in previous decades.

The Prime Minister of Ireland has been the most honest about this of all the leaders


Irish Premier, Leo Varadkar:

"What we have seen from what is available at the moment, is that we could we could easily have 50 or 60% of our population contracting Covid-19.

For the vast majority of the population this will be a mild illness and may even by asymptomatic. However, there will be a significant part of the population who will require critical care.

A percentage that we don't honestly know yet - it could be one per cent or three per cent - mortality.

It is not the kind of thing we have seen in a very long time.... even if the health service was twice the size it is now we will struggle."

Costco is limiting purchases of certain items, i.e. toilet paper. Not sure what the big thing is with toilet paper, the coronavirus is a respiratory virus not a stomach virus. Water was another limited purchase.

You are right. There is no reason to panic what so ever. In meantime USA has rise to the top 8 of the COVID-19 countries with 754 sick, 28 dead and 8 recovered patient. In one week from 60 to 754, that is kind of fast, but americans are.

Xi Jinping’s visit to Wuhan sends a clear message: China has defeated the coronavirus

March 10, 2020
Jane Li
By Jane Li
China tech reporter

FROM OUR OBSESSION
Because China

Even small changes in China have global effects.
China is sending the surest sign yet that it has the coronavirus under control: Chinese leader Xi Jinping finally visited Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, for the first time since the crisis began in January.

Xi arrived in the city this morning to “inspect the prevention and control work of the the coronavirus,” according to state news agency Xinhua, and will visit medical workers, military commanders, community workers, police officers, grassroots officials, volunteers, and local residents. He also visited Huoshenshan, one of the hospitals that was rapidly constructed to tackle the outbreak.

Xi JinpingPEOPLE'S DIALY
Xi Jinping visits Huoshenshan hospital.
Chinese health authorities first reported that there were pneumonia cases in Wuhan, Hubei province in December to the World Health Organization. By the latest count, the province has reported a total of at least 67,760 cases (link in Chinese) and 3,024 deaths. Xi’s visit comes as China has been reporting a steadily falling number of confirmed cases and deaths in the last two weeks. Only 19 new cases, of which 17 were in Wuhan, were reported yesterday.

Beijing has signaled confidence in its fight against the epidemic by allowing cities outside Hubei to resume work and production. The government is also projecting that confidence overseas through a propaganda campaign that attempts to re-frame China as the global leader in the fight against the epidemic, and dispelling the narrative that the Covid-19 outbreak began in China.


Bill Bishop, an analyst who writes the China-focused Sinocism newsletter, wrote earlier that the surest signs that the Communist Party “thinks victory really is at hand” are if Xi visits Wuhan, kids go back to school, and a new date is set for the delayed “Two Sessions” political meetings, originally slated to take place this month.

Prior to today’s visit, Xi had been under fire for his lack of public appearances as the epidemic raged. His deputy, Li Keqiang, visited frontline workers and residents in Wuhan in January, while vice premier Sun Chunlan has been leading the government’s response to the crisis in Hubei. Xi did not make his first public appearance until Feb. 10, when he visited a residential community in Beijing, though state media had been cultivating the image of the leader as a sort of behind-the-scenes commander of the country’s efforts against the outbreak.

With public anger over the government’s management of the epidemic still palpable, Xi’s visit is likely to be conducted in a tightly controlled fashion. Just five days ago, angry residents in a Wuhan residential complex chanted “it’s all fake!” from their windows during Sun’s inspection of the neighborhood.

"The biggest concern right now is not the current CFR, but what the CFR will be when medical systems get overrun.
About 10% of infections need an IC bed and assisted breathing. If those IC beds and breathing machines run out, we have a serious problem and the CFR may shoot up.

We can use the growth factor of 1.2 (observed in i.e. Italy) to compute the number of days until the number of infections exceeds the number of IC beds.

# days until overrun = CEIL((log(# IC beds * (1 - % of IC beds taken)) - log(# infections))/log(growth factor))

I compute the following:
d00 - number of days until medical system overrun GIVEN 0% of beds are taken
d50 - number of days until medical system overrun GIVEN 50% of beds are taken
d75 - number of days until medical system overrun GIVEN 75% of beds are taken
d90 - number of days until medical system overrun GIVEN 90% of beds are taken

Note that d00 is the most optimistic scenario, and very unrealistic. Most countries have a shortage of IC beds on a normal day, especially in urban areas.
In the Netherlands d90 is more realistic. Friends who work in the medical sector have told me this. You can decide for yourself which estimate you find most reasonable.

Country (#infections / #beds)
>d90/d75/d50/d00

Italy (9172/8000)
>0 / 5 / 9 / 12 (Locally the medical system is already overrun. Field hospitals are being deployed)

The media turning on the donald for this is just dumb. There's not much you can do when a new contagious disease emerges except some basic measures and hoping for the best.

It's like trying to stop billions of people from spreading the flue.

I looked at the DNA sequence of Covid19 and compared it to the bat virus. 96% identical. Comparison to other Coronaviruses yields a lower percentage. There is also a spot at the end of the DNA sequence where the sequence differs resulting in (after sequence translation) exactly four additional amino acids in the protein chain (back to back). You will almost never see (one in a quadrillion) exactly four amino acids insertion during natural mutation.
Looking at a recently taken down scientific article from a Taiwanese scientist claiming the virus has been engineered and escaped the only Level 4 lab in China (in Wuhan, incidentally) with the person that supposedly worked on it dying from the infection, coupled with the fact that the bat's nutsack and other bat body parts are not sold on the market that was questionably the origin of infection, I believe we will never exactly know how this virus started infecting people.

Is it true that USA is sticking to it's principle "no healthcare for free" and is denying testing unless you pay 3000$?

Sort of, I forget the number, but the Corona test is between $2000 - 3000, and they were passing at least some of the cost down to citizens. But that's slowly changing, a handful of cities have ordered insurers to cover it, and many of the US's bigger insurers folded and said they'll make it a free test for all the people they cover.

I suspect in the next few days it will be a free test to all. I'm also sure the insurers will find a way to recoup the cost.

Too little, too late, I think that the number of infected in the USA is already very significant. We are just not informed yet. Canada might be in the same boat.
This is due to the fact that some cases might go symptomless for up to 24 days. This, coupled with the fact that the virus is easily transmitted and might even survive on surfaces for some time, points to all of us being in danger. 3% is not very high if talking about 100,000 cases. But 3% of a million is 30,000 deaths. And that sucks.
Men have higher chances of contracting too. A good thing is that children seem to be more resistant. Lord of the Flies, baby...

NY setting up containment zone around New Rochelle

New York is setting up a one-mile containment zone around a Westchester County city in an effort to
control the spreading of the novel coronavirus. The zone will be in place from March 12–25.

The zone will ring New Rochelle, which is an epicenter of coronavirus cases in the state. The 108 cases
in the area are considered a cluster.

Schools, religious buildings, and other businesses that cater to large events inside the zone will be
closed for that period.

"The numbers have been going up, the numbers continue to go up, the numbers are going up unabated
and we do need a special public health strategy for New Rochelle," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news
conference. "What we are going to do is focus on an area concentric circle around the sites of the majority
of the cases in New Rochelle. Much of the transmission tends to happen on a geographic basis. … So
containment strategies focus on geographic areas."

You may not need to take the test to be sent home from work. Anyone who coughs or sneezes is suspect. I had an appointment with the optometrist last week. They had a sign on the door announcing that if you have symptoms of a cold, i.e. coughing or sneezing please do not enter. Call and reschedule your appointment. -Went to the dentist today and forewarned them that I have a slight dry cough because of seasonal allergies. They said it wasn't a problem. If things keep going the way they have been these past few weeks, the dentist will probably change their tune.

So? Isn't the coronavirus airborne? As this point there is no indication that it is spread through sexual contact.

"The short answer is that experts really don’t know. “What we know thus far is that COVID-19 is present in respiratory secretions,” Kristin Englund, MD, of the department of infectious disease at the Cleveland Clinic, tells Health. Respiratory secretions include droplets that exit a person's mouth from coughing or sneezing. Because these secretions from an infected person can carry the virus, some countries (like France) are discouraging people from greeting one another with a cheek kiss, reported The Washington Post."

The most likely scams will probably have something to do with testing for the virus. People that get the virus and develop symptoms seem to either get over it or die from it pretty quickly. Surely, it must take awhile to get welfare. Looks like at best, a person might get food stamps which they probably won't need because the shelves at the store will all be empty.

"The processing time for child care assistance, for example takes 30 days. If you are applying for basic cash assistance you can expect a wait time of 45 days. However if you are applying for food stamps, the turn-around time is only 7 days."

well, yes but about 30 times deadlier. Still, it might not be the end of the world. On the other hand, it might make a comeback every winter from now on and that will make it a real threat against humanity.


849 reported cases in the USA right now, I think more like thousands of unreported, asymptomatic at the moment

US is 8th most infected country of this planet by 1037 covid-19 cases, 28 dead and 8 recovered patients. Funny part is this: At last weeks Monday there were only 60 cases of covid-19, so there has been quite fast increase of these cases. No worry, Trump knows this better than doctors, so all is good.. ;D

A better comparison would be looking at the US number against the numbers in Europe. In that regards the US is looking good, but shits gonna hit the fan there soon.

yeah, very soon , both in the States and Canada numbers will hit thousands. The fact that we might hit a hundred thousand or more in 3-4 weeks depends on the current response. The more prohibitive movement of the population the better the outcome.

Add all those deaths up and it amounts to 60k a day, total deaths worldwide daily is 150k.This amount leads to most countries hospital beds on average being around 70-90% full, icus usually 90% or so.

This virus has the potential to infect 50% or more of the world population within the first year, that's 3.35 billion people, of which conservatively 15% would need hospital care, that's 500 million people, roughly 1.4 million people a day.

If that happens the vast majority would not get hospital care because there simply wouldn't be beds or icus available, then you are looking at 350 million dead or more, that's roughly 1 million dying a day.1 million vs your 60k graphic.

Get it now?

Don't expect any logic in this thread.If there are not lots of deaths happening right now in their locality and they don't have the virus, then it doesn't exist in their mind.Its similar to how a baby can't conceptualise that its mother still exists when she walks out the room.

There is NOTHING but the DEADLY CHEMO available for CANCER and the LANCET, a highly regarded medical periodical, announced more people are killed by CHEMO than cured or helped

Diabetes is multiplying faster that an AIR BORNE VIRUS

And HEART DISEASE.... Do I need to say more

All three have been researched/studied and CURE investigated for decades with NOTHING discovered.

DIABETES foundation have collected 100 BILLION dollars since 1965 when research began

CANCER likewise has collected 100 BILLION since research on it began in the 1960s

Here's the deal.  You're seeing this fact checked and called false when the answer is kinda true and false.  Obama declared swine flu a "health emergency" the day after the WHO did.  I think that was in April.  Obama didn't declare it a national emergency until October when over 1000 people had died.  To me, it was fine how he did it and I hate Obama.  The problem is today, what was fine 10 years ago is no longer so.  Which is bullshit, but that's the hyper-emotional state we're living in these days.

The warmer weather and extra sunlight is keeping Australia and the southern hemisphere relatively safe from the spread right now.

If remnants of the virus survive the Northern hemisphere summer then we could see the virus re-emerge in the southern hemisphere winter.

The good thing about the panic is that in general people are taking more care with their hygiene now, so we may end up seeing a drop off in the numbers suffering from the common cold and flu.

That's not just weird, it's morally wrong since pangolins are very very endangered. This is not speculation, these are facts.

Cases in Italy will start to drop off now due to containment in a similar fashion to China.

not in the near future. China's quarantine was extreme: Welding people into their own homes etc.

Not only this, in many parts food was dropped off once a week outside buildings, the building manager had to prove via tests he didn't have a temperature, wasn't sick etc, then was allowed to come out and collect food once drivers had left,and then be locked in again.Only China and NK can pull that off.

The old die quickly, it skews the data. Only the very ill are iidentified and included. People who have it mildly aren't recorded in the data because they are never diagnosed.

It's like this. The virus is stupid contagious, to the point that 70% will get it. We can't stop it, only slow it down.

There are globally 100k reported cases (ballpark) when we know modelling shows millions have it right now.

So you have maybe 10% at best being included in the data set who would represent the hospitalised and really sick. Meanwhile 90% have a cold and no idea they have this virus of which even if you see a doctor if you look healthy they say you have a cold and move you along.

The globe is looking at 20% of the population (eldery) being wiped off the map. The rest of us will be fine. Financially decimated, but alive.

You need to be able to access it, digest it, then be somewhat logical at formulating a forecast.Look at how long it took on here after the threads were made with me and gib shouting from the rooftops.I can only recall a couple of posters who outright agreed this was very serious from the outset.Same with all the conversations in person I had.A load of people thinking i was crazy a month ago now sheepishly admitting they were wrong.This same mentality was why flights were not stopped, borders not shut and mass testing not carried out a fortnight ago.If all people had to do was "re-report" then everything righted itself, then we shouldn't be in this mess no?

Your reaction to it was and still is OTT, bordering on the crazy. If you, your partner, kids etc are in a at risk group then that's somewhat understandable. Otherwise you should quit obsessing and focus more on making sure you come out on top at the end of this.

It's not all elderly. It will roughly be 10% to 15% dying of them if they all catch it. How soon they catch it might shift those numbers up or down too.

They want everyone to panic, they want the panic to tank the economy....and it is.  

So, when the economy completely tanks they will fashion some ridiculous argument how it's Trumps fault because he did this or should have done that.  

An since Trump "tanked the economy" (lol), then everyone should go vote for Creepy Uncle Joe the child sniffer.

This is pretty much the only hope they have to defeat Trump since their senile candidate is out there cursing at voters and calling them names

This is the million do!lar question.Many theorised by 26-27 degrees the virus lasts very little time on surfaces, and up to 9 days in colder climates.But the other factor is tourism, South America or Africa isn't exactly a massive tourist destination for those outside of it due to their high crime rate and poverty, so it could simply be taking longer due to less people internationally coming in from Asia or the EU.The Joe Rogan link I posted in the other thread with the infectious diseases guy, who was telling everyone in January this would happen from his models, claims temperature will have no effect.Our best guess now is to look at Australia, which has just crept up to 100 cases from only 20 a week or so ago.See where they are in a week and I think we'll have our answer.

No idea about the hundreds of millions dying, at this point it all depends on containment and if temperature has any effect, with summer coming for most of us.If it doesn't then I can't see how India, Africa and South America don't get hit way harder than anything we have seen so far.

What was I wrong about? Most of my posts from weeks ago are what people are reposting now.

Unlike you I haven't become hysterical. You got so many things wrong it's laughable. At one time you claimed 50% of infected doctors would die. East asian genetics meant a higher percentage of them would die. Most of the your posts were incomplete or wildly inaccurate.

The funny thing is any breakdown in society that will occur is because of hysterical idiots like you. And I said 3 weeks ago. If you weren't busy being hysterical about it all you could be so easily be making all this work to your advantage.

He is in the category most likely to die from it. Naturally he'll be shitting himself.

The virus taking out a large chunk of the elderly population is tragic, but at the same time the harsh reality is that it's a necessity.

It's also taking out people with substandard lung health which is mostly heavy smokers. Sucks if that's your vice, but they made that choice so diddums.

The variance by race is minimal if none at all. But it looks like smoking might cause a significant increase, so places like China where two thirds of men are smokers will suffer the most.

If tobacco is the issue and not just smoking it then it's not looking too good for shisha users. Might actually be worse for them. Middle east is screwed

I haven't checked if people who quit smoking still have increased levels, but if that's the case then there are large numbers of people who are over 50 and quit who will be facing a double whammy.



Just want to quote this again as this is may be the sanest post in this thread.

The at risk groups appear to be the elderly, long term smokers, diabetics etc. Basically the same at risk groups as the flu.

It will likely cause more deaths than flu because it seems to show little to no symptoms in healthy individuals, so it has the potential to spread must faster.

As for the doom and gloom merchants. I feel for your mental health and chances are this will fizzle out in the next few months as the weather warms up. Stay safe and don't panic.


The latest from my people in China is that they have discovered that covid19 has 2 mutations S-Cov and L-Cov.

S-Cov was the likely earlier strain as it's similar to bat Coronavirus and is the milder of the 2. L-Cov is more virulent, has a higher translatability and causes more harm to the respiratory system. It may be possible to become infected by one, recover and then become infected by the other. Further mutations are also possible.

L-Cov spread more rapidly in China despite it being newer, but since early January it's been on the decline.

So what should you take away from this.  You can be the type who thinks more virulent version won't hang around for much longer, the majority might end up experiencing a milder version and in a few months time people will shrug their shoulders and wonder what all the fuss was about. Or you can Army of one it and sit in a dark room with a loaded revolver ready to blow your brains out at the first sign of you developing a cough.

Those slanty eye fooks are also trying to put the idea out that the Corona virus might not have actually originated in China. Yeah right.

Australia is not a good example as it is heading into winter and temperatures are going down. It's also a massive country with wildly different temperatures. Tropical heat all year in the north and cold in the south. Also in places like Sydney, temps vary a lot from day to day. Like in summer one day can be 45 then the next day 23. I guess you can look at how many get infected in the north vs south.

Better place to look is somewhere like Cambodia or Thailand, temperature ranges between 25 at night and 35 in the day, everyday, all year. This time of year it's hitting near 40 during the day. Cambodia has only 3 cases so far, 2 were tourists, and one local who interacted with the tourist.

Problem with Cambodia and Thailand is they live on the tourism, if there are more cases there I'm sure they are being swept under the rug as pnuemonia, as the lack of money for mass testing and fear of the loss of tourists is stronger than acknowledging the problem.

I never said it was all elderly.

The elderly are the most severely affected. The elderly are the most dying. Hence, the data is being skewed by the elderly because that is who is rocking up. That's basic analytics.

The death rate will increase in the elderly as time passes if it is not contained. While hospitals can handle the volume right now, once overrun,  masses will not receive treatment and more deaths will result.

But as i said, millions already have it because it might be 3+ weeks before diagnosis during which they are transmitting to the community. Yet the numbers diagnosed is super small despite widespread infection already according to the modelling.

You think too short term. Do you think the current systems in place were working? The things you mention infrastructure, supply chains, medical facilities, taxes had reached a tipping point or become unsustainable. Why don't you try look at the maths there.

If this isn't a man made virus then nature has done us  favour. If anything though the virus still isn't lethal enough and systems that need to change probably won't change enough.

You need to take a long term view and stop acting like it's the end of the world. The markets will be fine. It will take a beating, but this isn't a banking crisis where bailouts are needed. It will bounce back far quicker. The extra attention people will now pay to hygiene will mean cases of other bugs and virus will plummet. You would hope countries will learn lessons from this when it come to over reliance on things from China and India. Won't hold my breath on that one though.

N.J. coronavirus patient says symptoms are getting worse despite hospitalization, report says

The Fort Lee man who contracted the coronavirus is urging people to take COVID-19 seriously, telling television stations that his symptoms keep getting worse despite the fact that he is a pretty healthy person.

“They are surprised it can be so bad and I’m so young," James Cai, 32, a physician’s assistant, told ABC7.

He told the station that he believes he contracted the virus at a medical meeting at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. When he felt sick a few days later he went to urgent care and then to the emergency room, where medical staff found a small lesion on his lung and tested him for coronavirus, he told ABC7.

Health officials have said that older individuals and those with chronic medical conditions like heart disease and diabetes are at highest risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.

But Cai told CBS he doesn’t have any risk factors and his symptoms, including fever, shortness of breath and diarrhea are “getting worse” and Hackensack University Medical Center has a bed in the ICU ready in case he needs it. He said hospital staff told him he should be OK, ABC reported.

The first person to die from coronavirus in New Jersey was a 69-year-old man from Bergen County whom officials said had pre-existing health conditions. The total number of positive cases in the state increased to 15 Tuesday, and there were 20 pending tests at the state lab with another 31 people considered under investigation, New Jersey Department of Health officials said.

N.J. coronavirus patient says symptoms are getting worse despite hospitalization, report says

The Fort Lee man who contracted the coronavirus is urging people to take COVID-19 seriously, telling television stations that his symptoms keep getting worse despite the fact that he is a pretty healthy person.

They are surprised it can be so bad and I’m so young," James Cai, 32, a physician’s assistant, told ABC7.

He told the station that he believes he contracted the virus at a medical meeting at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. When he felt sick a few days later he went to urgent care and then to the emergency room, where medical staff found a small lesion on his lung and tested him for coronavirus, he told ABC7.

Health officials have said that older individuals and those with chronic medical conditions like heart disease and diabetes are at highest risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.

But Cai told CBS he doesn’t have any risk factors and his symptoms, including fever, shortness of breath and diarrhea are “getting worse” and Hackensack University Medical Center has a bed in the ICU ready in case he needs it. He said hospital staff told him he should be OK, ABC reported.

The first person to die from coronavirus in New Jersey was a 69-year-old man from Bergen County whom officials said had pre-existing health conditions. The total number of positive cases in the state increased to 15 Tuesday, and there were 20 pending tests at the state lab with another 31 people considered under investigation, New Jersey Department of Health officials said.

Problem with Cambodia and Thailand is they live on the tourism, if there are more cases there I'm sure they are being swept under the rug as pnuemonia, as the lack of money for mass testing and fear of the loss of tourists is stronger than acknowledging the problem.

Thailand have massive monetary reserves, Thai baht hardly moves !.

By then, he will announce that along with his "good" friends in the CDC they have come up with a "cure".

No travel to US from Europe for 30 days.  (a bit too late in the game for that now...)   

The travel photo gig I was going on in April (Paris, Southern Provence, Nice and St Tropez) was cancelled last week.   I and the owner of the travel agency that organized and chartered this trip will still get paid (insurance..) but the economic impact for the state of Florida will be significant.  No Transatlantic cruises will be happening, I was at the Ritz Carlton on the beach for lunch today and the manager told me that they are down 78% now.  He said they are going to start offering a local deal of $99 for 2 nights stay.  Keep in mind spring break is going on right now and there should be NO vacancy on the beach, let alone 78% at the Ritz.

Good news is that if fears are correct, it will wipe out the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.  You can expect an abundance of condos to hit the market in six months here in FL since the majority of the state is old farts.

WATCH: Devin Booker Finds Out About NBA Suspended Season Live on Twitch While Playing Call of Duty: Warzone

Following the cancellation of E3, the NBA became the latest organization to take emergency action in face of the coronavirus, suspending its season until further notice. The news is currently dominating social media, but apparently hadn't made its way to Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker, who found out about the news live on Twitch while streaming Call of Duty: Warzone, the new free-to-play battle royale game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

While he's not busy putting the Phoenix Suns on his back, the 23-year-old shooting guard from Grand Rapids, Michigan sometimes streams himself playing games on Twitch. Tonight's stream was a pretty normal one for Booker, until he found out he won't be playing basketball anytime soon while live on the platform, in the middle of a Warzone match.

However I'm pretty certain loads of young Italians left Italy when they knew there was a lockdown imminent and landed in places like London, so cases will spike soon.

So yeah, might not be the best move by Trump.

If this isn't a man made virus then nature has done us  favour.

You need to take a long term view and stop acting like it's the end of the world. The markets will be fine. It will take a beating, but this isn't a banking crisis where bailouts are needed. It will bounce back far quicker. The extra attention people will now pay to hygiene will mean cases of other bugs and virus will plummet. You would hope countries will learn lessons from this when it come to over reliance on things from China and India. Won't hold my breath on that one though.

It's China made designed to resolve their massive old age issue (see articles dating 2017). It wipes out old, preserves babies, young, middle age. Schools closes but the kids heal up meanwhile retirement homes have dead everywhere, it's a pretty specific virus wouldn't you say?

Markets will be decimated, possibly to GFC lows.

Agree the bounceback will spastic fast. The opportunity coming out is massive....if you survive financially.

My own work and reaching out to colleagues in financial sectors marries up that it's a 6mth sledgehammer effect coming. The question is what does during that 6mths look like?

You need to be able to access it, digest it, then be somewhat logical at formulating a forecast.Look at how long it took on here after the threads were made with me and gib shouting from the rooftops.I can only recall a couple of posters who outright agreed this was very serious from the outset.Same with all the conversations in person I had.A load of people thinking i was crazy a month ago now sheepishly admitting they were wrong.This same mentality was why flights were not stopped, borders not shut and mass testing not carried out a fortnight ago.If all people had to do was "re-report" then everything righted itself, then we shouldn't be in this mess no?

I guess you must be mighty proud of yourself for thinking you were right because if anyone had just listened to you, your warnings of doom and gloom would certainly have changed the course of events, and literally thousands of people would not be sick and/or dying and the economy would not be in a nose dive, right? Must feel really good to be able to say you were right.  :(

"What is happening in Italy?
Officials announced the record daily death toll in a statement on Friday.
They said the number could not be officially confirmed until health officials had "established the actual cause of death".
The national health institute said the average age of those who have died was 81, with the majority suffering from underlying health problems. An estimated 72% of all those who have died were men."

The male life expectancy in Italy is 81.

I'm guessing if you were in your eighties or nineties, with Coronavirus, and died of old age complications you'd be counted as a Coronavirus victim. lol

we don't know what is true and what is not. Time will tell. More sequencing analysis of the viral code needs to be done. I am not a virologist but in the bioinformatics field. As I was saying previously, it looks strange to have the RNA sequence (it's a single stranded RNA virus) so similar to the bat virus but then have exactly 12 nucleotides (which is 4 amino acids) insertion closer to the sequence end.
Could it be natural. I don't know, maybe. Again, I am not a virologist. But to claim that this is a naturally mutated bat origin virus doesn't sit well with me at the moment. Or maybe I just need to pick up a virology textbook.
There are some other points that could be coincidences, Lab 4 level in Wuhan, market in Wuhan not selling bat meat, the infection starts in Wuhan, initial pressure to keep the doctors quiet, a paper published about the 4 amino acid insertion then withdrawn, viral poly-A tail of Covid19 that's much longer (I've seen the sequence myself) then the bat's viral tail and incidentally this part is involved in infectious ability, severe response in China to the point of locking people in and threatening death sentences to non-conformers, etc...
I don't like conspiracy theories, I think it'd be better to wait and see. In the meantime protect yourself and don't mingle too much. Don't touch your face and wash your hands often. One recent American test shows that virus survives on some surfaces for up  to three days. That's huge.

there is no panic that I see on this board at least, but for an average person, yes, you do have to keep a balance between issuing statements that will cause fear and the safety measures that need to be applied.
I'm saying that majority of people do not understand what the exponential curve of new infections curve means.
In analogy, if you were to fill a SkyDome stadium (Rogers Centre) in Toronto and start with 1 water droplet (around 0.050 grams) per minute and exponentially increase to 2 droplets the next minute, then 4 droplets the next minute and so on...guess how long it would take you to fill the stadium with water to the top?.....

40 minutes

The corona virus doubles on average every 4 days. Yesterday there were close to 900 cases in the USA, today it's 1200. This coming Monday there will be more than 2000, detected, at least. I'm not worried about old motherfuckers full of money vacationing God knows where and fucking diseased whores. I'm worried in general about human population and the inactivity of idiot Trump to contain this crisis. Even his decision from yesterday not to let European passengers but let UK travellers into the States is moronic.

Everything needs to close down for two weeks at least to flatten the exponential rate of new infections, otherwise a lot of people will get sick and fast.

You missed my point. What good does playing the blame game do now? We need to move forward and not waste time on what could have been done differently. There will be plenty of time for reflection, hopefully, after the virus is contained or better still eliminated.

Who here listens to sean hannity (orange turd's ass)

(https://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/uploader/image/2017/11/15/hannity.png)

Is COVID-19 still a hoax?




If Sean Hannity Thinks Coronavirus Panic Is a 'Hoax,' How Many Millions of His Listeners Do Too?
Jeremy W. Peters and Michael M. Grynbaum
The New York TimesMarch 12, 2020, 8:05 AM EDT


Sean Hannity used his syndicated talk-radio program Wednesday to share a prediction he had found on Twitter about what is really happening with the coronavirus: It’s a “fraud” by the deep state to spread panic in the populace, manipulate the economy and suppress dissent.

“May be true,” Hannity declared to millions of listeners around the country.

As the coronavirus spreads around the globe, denial and disinformation about the risks are proliferating on media outlets popular with conservatives.

“This coronavirus?” Rush Limbaugh asked skeptically during his Wednesday program. “All of this panic is just not warranted.”

The Fox Business anchor Trish Regan told viewers Monday that the worry over coronavirus “is yet another attempt to impeach the president.”

Where doctors and scientists see a public health crisis, President Donald Trump and his media allies see a political coup afoot.

Even on Wednesday night, after Trump gave an unusually somber address to the nation in which he announced he was suspending all travel from Europe for 30 days, Hannity criticized Democrats and vigorously defended the president’s response to the crisis, saying that when he instituted travel restrictions on China more than a month ago, “no president had ever acted that fast.”

Distorted realities and discarded facts are now such a part of everyday life that the way they shape events like impeachment, a mass shooting or a presidential address often goes unmentioned.

But when partisan news meets a pandemic, the information silos where people shelter themselves can become not just deluded but also dangerous, according to those who criticize conservative commentators for shedding any semblance of objectivity when it comes to covering the president.

“This sort of media spin poses a clear and present danger to public health,” said Charlie Sykes, a longtime conservative host and author who published a book, “How the Right Lost Its Mind,” in 2018. “If you have people out there who feel all of this is overblown, and feel the need to act out their lack of concern by not taking precautions, it could be exceptionally dangerous.

“That’s not just a problem for the right wing, that becomes a real threat to the general population,” added Sykes, who is also a contributor to MSNBC. “When people start dying, the entertainment value wears off.”

In the case of Fox News viewers and talk radio listeners, who tend to be older than the general population, the danger of playing down the threat is potentially far worse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has specifically identified older people as being at higher risk from serious complications if they contract the virus. Nielsen, the TV ratings agency, lists the average age of a Fox News viewer as 65 years old.

Despite Hannity’s own skeptical commentary, his Tuesday show featured Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as a guest. He told Hannity that he wanted to “make sure” viewers knew that the coronavirus “is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu — you got to make sure that people understand that.”

It was not difficult to see why Fauci would think Hannity’s roughly 4 million viewers — the biggest audience in cable news — might not understand. On Tuesday, the star anchor told his viewers, effectively, to relax.

“Sadly, these viruses pop up time to time,” Hannity said, with the certitude of a medical professional. “Pandemics happen, time to time.”

Limbaugh has offered clinical advice of his own. Recently he defended his widely criticized comparison of the coronavirus to the common cold and suggested the timing of the coverage of the outbreak raised “a gigantic series of question marks and red flags.”

And not all the prominent players in conservative opinion are denying the seriousness of the threat. Disagreement on the right has spilled into public view in a way that is unusual, given how swiftly dissent is often punished by Trump and his media loyalists.

“It’s a matter of public health. How can these shills face their followers after all the lies and deceit?” asked Michael Savage, the radio host and author who was one of Trump’s earliest supporters in conservative media and urged him to run for president in 2011.

“Are these mouthpieces without any social conscience?” added Savage, who called the words of Limbaugh and others “criminal negligence.”

Speaking on his Monday Fox News show, Tucker Carlson seemed to speak directly to skeptics like the president and Hannity, whose prime-time program follows his. “People you trust, people you probably voted for, have spent weeks minimizing what is clearly a very serious problem,” Carlson said, adding: “People you know will get sick, some may die. This is real.”

Trump pays close attention to Carlson’s show, and the two are in regular contact by phone. Earlier this year, the anchor was credited with helping persuade the president to dial back his hawkish approach on Iran — and Carlson’s words on the virus this week were interpreted as a message aimed at the White House.

There are also signs that political views affect how seriously someone takes the public health risk posed by the virus.

A Reuters poll last week found that roughly 4 in 10 Democrats believed the coronavirus was an imminent threat — but only 2 in 10 Republicans felt the same way. And Americans who approve of the way the president is handling his job are far more likely to believe that the government can stop a nationwide epidemic from occurring than those who disapprove, the poll said.

Seventy-nine percent of those who gave Trump high job approval ratings said they were very or somewhat confident in the government’s ability to prevent the outbreak from becoming much worse, compared with only 39% of those who disapprove of him, according to a CNN poll conducted last week.

At times, there has been a jarring split screen between the president’s nonchalance and the sober warnings of the nation’s top health officials, who have been more aggressive about warning certain vulnerable populations not to travel.

Asked Wednesday at the White House what he had to say to those concerned he is not taking the situation seriously enough, Trump offered a tart, terse reply: “Fake news,” the president snapped, before dismissing reporters from the room.

The fallout from the president’s handling of the crisis might have been more easily dismissed as liberal, anti-Trump paranoia if not for an improbable twist of events. A person infected with the coronavirus attended one of the conservative world’s biggest annual gatherings last week, the Conservative Political Action Conference, leading some politicians like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to voluntarily quarantine themselves.

Before this person’s status was made public — he was a VIP attendee who purchased a $5,750 “gold” package that granted him access to backstage reception rooms where members of Congress and other high-profile figures mingled — conservatives at the conference were accusing the president’s enemies of inflating the seriousness of the outbreak.

The former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, speaking from the conference stage last Friday, insisted falsely that the media had only just started paying attention to the coronavirus after the impeachment trial ended. And the reason, he added, was “they think this is going to be what brings down the president.”

But over the next few days, CPAC’s organizers were pelted with questions from fellow conservatives, some of whom said they shook the infected guest’s hand, about why they had been left in the dark.

Suddenly the “hoax,” as Hannity and others have called the response to the virus, hit home.

Raheem Kassam, a former Breitbart News editor, was one of several conservative activists who attended CPAC and expressed frustration about how the group handled the incident. Kassam, who said he felt sick over the weekend and on social media chronicled his frustrated attempts to obtain a coronavirus test, knew that he might have been exposed only after someone who works in the office of a member of Congress who was also exposed contacted him.

“I think there’s a grown-up conversation to be had about what happened,” Kassam said in an interview, adding that he did not believe that some conservatives wanted to have that conversation now. “Imagine being that sick, and then finding out why I might be that sick in a thirdhand way. I was angry. I was frustrated. I was scared,” he added.

But the president’s allies have attacked Kassam, accusing him of sowing panic when there are no other known cases to come out of the conference.

Matt Schlapp, president of CPAC, who has sequestered himself at home because he also shook the infected attendee’s hand, appeared on Fox News in recent days to malign the media for exaggerating the threat.

And though he acknowledged in a subsequent interview that he had no medical training, he has made claims about the coronavirus and its apparent lack of contagiousness.

“It’s actually hard to get,” he said on Fox News on Wednesday, speaking via Skype from his home, where he still has a few days left in his self-imposed quarantine.

Already posted elsewhere that the US had Swine Flu(H1N1) , only ten years ,ago. The general public seems to have forgotten that rather quickly.


"“These are deaths of young adults and children. It is different from seasonal influenza.”

H1N1 killed 282 U.S. children in 2009-2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

CDC says H1N1 infected 61 million Americans during the pandemic and killed around 12,000.

As long as the virus limits itself to knocking off old codgers and spares the young and the healthy , quite a few people won't be losing too much sleep over it.

The economy ,for a while,might benefit too with inheritances being transferred to younger more productive society members of society and fewer old people claiming pensions or wastefully whittling down of their assets , through ,say, medical bills or nursing home costs.

Who knows?  Perhaps it's smart not to close schools and universities. Let children and teens develop some sort of immunity to it ,before a vaccine is found.

The Spanish flu came in two waves. The first ,in 1917, one killed the old and the weak ,like traditional common flu. The second deadlier wave in 1918 killed young ,healthy people in their millions.

This is being covered like nothing I've ever seen.  Trump even had to declare national emergency after 40 people died.  Total joke.  Obama did it after 1000 died and there was no problem.  Everything is going to kill us, net neutrality, tax cuts, climate change, Iran.

We've had flu pandemics that have killed a million plus in the last 50-60 years.  We had AIDS.  Swine flu killed 500k worldwide.  The irrational behavior is the runs on the grocery stores, the hoarding of supplies, the boycotting of any restaurant that's Asian. This is being covered like nothing I've ever seen.  Trump even had to declare national emergency after 40 people died.  Total joke.  Obama did it after 1000 died and there was no problem.  Everything is going to kill us, net neutrality, tax cuts, climate change, Iran. Everything is hyped to the max and when it passes without much effect, it's on to the next potential armageddon.
The media loves these stories because it increases ratings.  "Experts" love these media stories because they get facetime on t.v.

I get the feeling that Getbiggers are not taking this seriously.

I've yet to read a single word about how you are prepping for what's ahead of us. Instead you're joking, making fun of it, think everything is going to be normal, gyms not gonna close they just be less crowded... it will only affect old people etc etc

How you think closing flights from every country on the planet will affect the tourist economy? Just one example

When other countries tell their people to stay home and not go to work when sick, you think americans can afford to stay home?

They will go to work as usual, and spread the virus.



A person can think or even dwell on the situations you mention. There is very little if anything most of us can do about it. So honest'y wants the point?

Everything isn't normal already.
When gyms close, we won't go.
This virus is greatly more deadly to older people and the infirmed.
The economy is already affected and likely to get worse. Do you have a fix?
If your work place closes it's doors, you won't go to work even if you cannot afford to miss work. It's that simple.
The virus will run it's course regardless of what you do or don't do.

It seems that the people who've had it must far outweigh the ones recorded, so the death % must me tiny. In the UK they've stopped testing, so the majority of people with mild symptoms won't even contact the authorities.

Some people feel like they must say something, even when they have no idea what they are talking about. I think there is a lot of pressure on Trump to step up and put people's minds at ease. Ultimately, telling us untruths will probably make matters worse. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now.

They must have meant sickness from cold/fly (corona) type symptoms. There is no point testing for Corona anymore as if you have symptoms you isolate regardless.

They can't have coronafolk walking around infecting others, especially them, because they're really going to be in demand later. And they simply can't see to every 'bit of a cough' minor case. They have to reserve their expertise for life or death matters.

If you think that's bad wait until most of the life of death people get sent home because there aren't enough machines or people to help them.

The moral of the story is that you're on your own. If you're an at risk person, which you are Prime, don't fucking catch it. Go Full Hermit for awhile. Imo you shouldn't be going to the supermarket at all at this point.

I'm preaching the same to my parents. They probably won't be sufficiently cautious either, by which I mean Howard Hughes paranoid for a few weeks to see what eventuates. I think a lot of people in your age group are going to die. You don't want to be one.

Jesus, stay out of the gym! Am I being trolled here? STAY IN UR HOUSE!

Google some calisthenics. All you need is the ground and a tree branch. Probably be more taxing than the exercises you're accustomed to in the gym.

Just give it 4 weeks of crazy caution and total avoidance of public places. Then decide how to proceed. If nothing arrives, you didn't miss out on much. But if it does, you'll be real glad you were careful.

Already posted elsewhere that the US had Swine Flu(H1N1) , only ten years ,ago. The general public seems to have forgotten that rather quickly.


"“These are deaths of young adults and children. It is different from seasonal influenza.”

H1N1 killed 282 U.S. children in 2009-2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

CDC says H1N1 infected 61 million Americans during the pandemic and killed around 12,000.

I dunno...What will you say, my friend?  You are beginning to read like a misguided misanthrope (Prime will have to look that one up! Fuck his noise  ;D).

What kind of person seems to warn against that which is never quite near, i.e., the End of All Things?  I would hazard to guess that is what they wish for, for no other reason than to say "I told you so!".

Since time immemorial there have been wars and rumors of wars, plagues, earthquakes, tidal waves, negroes gone wild and worse...LWG, aka Liberal White Guilt.

My time spans several decades now and I don't expect it to end any time soon.  Neither do I expect to live forever.  What I hope for is for people to shut the  fuck up like this is the end of humanity, quit chimping out and contain the virus it by containing their fears and using common sense and modern medicine.

By the way, I look to seeing more Hollyweirdos claiming to have tested positive for the virus.  Why?  It's the new AIDS for them to show the world their solidarity with something bigger than they are.

Personally, I think that if that is what they desire they can simply do a selfie in front of an elephant's turd.

The UK government is being savage. They basically want the virus to steadily work it's way through the population taking out many of those who put a strain on the system. My guess is there will be 200,000 corona related deaths in 12 months.

I didn't think any government would have the balls to do that. The US looks to be doing the same thing although I'm not sure it's by design.

Go intercourse yourself, twatling.  Chicken Little got nothin' on you, eh kiddo?  If there's to be a purge on this planet, consider this virus to be your ex-Lax® exit.  You and all your kind.

You should be thankful you don't live next to me cuz I ain't Mr. Rogers and you and your ilk aren't welcome in my neighborhood.  FOAD.

How fucking retarded can turd-worlders get?  Primitive chimpout artists.  If you're not busy enough I'm certain Don Lemon wants to be fucked and made to "obey".  You're shaken, ace.

The UK government is being savage. They basically want the virus to steadily work it's way through the population taking out many of those who put a strain on the system. My guess is there will be 200,000 corona related deaths in 12 months.

I didn't think any government would have the balls to do that. The US looks to be doing the same thing although I'm not sure it's by design.

How does it look like the US doing this? 

Is the goal to eliminate a generation of baby boomers ?

John Hopkins professor thinks anywhere from 50,000-500,000 people in the US has COVD-19.  We've had what, 49 deaths?  49 deaths out of 50,000 infected really is not bad, 49 out of 500,000 is even less alarming.  Not too sure what to make of things honestly.  Time, as always, will tell.

So it’s safe to say that all the actions have been superficial?

Realistically it wouldn’t be a surprise if the government decided to take such a stand, the question is will the country care or will they sit quietly and wait for more instructions.

Yes, to a degree. Slowing the spread is the goal, not stopping it. The phrase they are using in the UK is that "the genie is out of the bottle".

It just takes one undiagnosed infected person for it to spread again, so places that have it under control will need to keep those control measures in place until a vaccine is ready. That's been deemed infeasible.

If people die and there are no hospital beds then that could cause ill will amongst the people. If people die in hospital beds most won't really care. That's the goal now.

The face you make after buying up 17000 hand sanitizers and other things, only to be banned from Amazon and Ebay -

(https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/03/13/business/00gouge1/merlin_170438451_dd144ae2-8cd3-4d76-9196-7c12518b53a4-superJumbo.jpg).

Not sure if behind pay wall - www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html .

Edit -

"On March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver S.U.V. to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tenn., they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves.

Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes, mostly from “little hole-in-the-wall dollar stores in the backwoods,” his brother said. “The major metro areas were cleaned out.”

Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon. Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.” To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic.

The next day, Amazon pulled his items and thousands of other listings for sanitizer, wipes and face masks. The company suspended some of the sellers behind the listings and warned many others that if they kept running up prices, they’d lose their accounts. EBay soon followed with even stricter measures, prohibiting any U.S. sales of masks or sanitizer.

Now, while millions of people across the country search in vain for hand sanitizer to protect themselves from the spread of the coronavirus, Mr. Colvin is sitting on 17,700 bottles of the stuff with little idea where to sell them.

“It’s been a huge amount of whiplash,” he said. “From being in a situation where what I’ve got coming and going could potentially put my family in a really good place financially to ‘What the heck am I going to do with all of this?’”

Mr. Colvin is one of probably thousands of sellers who have amassed stockpiles of hand sanitizer and crucial respirator masks that many hospitals are now rationing, according to interviews with eight Amazon sellers and posts in private Facebook and Telegram groups from dozens more. Amazon said it had recently removed hundreds of thousands of listings and suspended thousands of sellers’ accounts for price gouging related to the coronavirus.

Amazon, eBay, Walmart and other online-commerce platforms are trying to stop their sellers from making excessive profits from a public health crisis. While the companies aimed to discourage people from hoarding such products and jacking up their prices, many sellers had already cleared out their local stores and started selling the goods online.

Now both the physical and digital shelves are nearly empty.

Mikeala Kozlowski, a nurse in Dudley, Mass., has been searching for hand sanitizer since before she gave birth to her first child, Nora, on March 5. When she searched stores, which were sold out, she skipped getting gas to avoid handling the pump. And when she checked Amazon, she couldn’t find it for less than $50.

Get an informed guide to the global outbreak with our daily coronavirus newsletter.

“You’re being selfish, hoarding resources for your own personal gain,” she said of the sellers.

Sites like Amazon and eBay have given rise to a growing industry of independent sellers who snatch up discounted or hard-to-find items in stores to post online and sell around the world.

These sellers call it retail arbitrage, a 21st-century career that has adults buying up everything from limited-run cereals to Fingerling Monkeys, a once hot toy. The bargain hunters look for anything they can sell at a sharp markup. In recent weeks, they found perhaps their biggest opportunity: a pandemic.

As they watched the list of Amazon’s most popular searches crowd with terms like “Purell,” “N95 mask” and “Clorox wipes,” sellers said, they did what they had learned to do: Suck up supply and sell it for what the market would bear.

Initially, the strategy worked. For several weeks, prices soared for some of the top results to searches for sanitizer, masks and wipes on Amazon, according to a New York Times analysis of historical prices from Jungle Scout, which tracks data for Amazon sellers. The data shows that both Amazon and third-party sellers like Mr. Colvin increased their prices, which then mostly dropped when Amazon took action against price gouging this month.

Prices Have Spiked for Pandemic Supplies on Amazon

At the high prices, people still bought the products en masse, and Amazon took a cut of roughly 15 percent and eBay roughly 10 percent, depending on the price and the seller.

Then the companies, pressured by growing criticism from regulators and customers, cracked down. After the measures last week, Amazon went further on Wednesday, restricting sales of any coronavirus-related products from certain sellers.

“Price gouging is a clear violation of our policies, unethical, and in some areas, illegal,” Amazon said in a statement. “In addition to terminating these third party accounts, we welcome the opportunity to work directly with states attorneys general to prosecute bad actors.”

Mr. Colvin, 36, a former Air Force technical sergeant, said he started selling on Amazon in 2015, developing it into a six-figure career by selling Nike shoes and pet toys, and by following trends.

In early February, as headlines announced the coronavirus’s spread in China, Mr. Colvin spotted a chance to capitalize. A nearby liquidation firm was selling 2,000 “pandemic packs,” leftovers from a defunct company. Each came with 50 face masks, four small bottles of hand sanitizer and a thermometer. The price was $5 a pack. Mr. Colvin haggled it to $3.50 and bought them all.

He quickly sold all 2,000 of the 50-packs of masks on eBay, pricing them from $40 to $50 each, and sometimes higher. He declined to disclose his profit on the record but said it was substantial.

The success stoked his appetite. When he saw the panicked public starting to pounce on sanitizer and wipes, he and his brother set out to stock up.

Elsewhere in the country, other Amazon sellers were doing the same.

Chris Anderson, an Amazon seller in central Pennsylvania, said he and a friend had driven around Ohio, buying about 10,000 masks from stores. He used coupons to buy packs of 10 for around $15 each and resold them for $40 to $50. After Amazon’s cut and other costs, he estimates, he made a $25,000 profit.

Mr. Anderson is now holding 500 packs of antibacterial wipes after Amazon blocked him from selling them for $19 each, up from $16 weeks earlier. He bought the packs for $3 each.

Eric, a truck driver from Ohio who spoke on the condition that his surname not be published because he feared Amazon would retaliate, said he had also collected about 10,000 masks at stores. He bought each 10-pack for about $20 and sold most for roughly $80 each, though some he priced at $125.

“Even at $125 a box, they were selling almost instantly,” he said. “It was mind-blowing as far as what you could charge.” He estimates he made $35,000 to $40,000 in profit.

Now he has 1,000 more masks on order, but he’s not sure what to do with them. He said Amazon had been vague about what constituted price gouging, scaring away sellers who don’t want to risk losing their ability to sell on its site.

To regulators and many others, the sellers are sitting on a stockpile of medical supplies during a pandemic. The attorney general’s offices in California, Washington and New York are all investigating price gouging related to the coronavirus. California’s price-gouging law bars sellers from increasing prices by more than 10 percent after officials declare an emergency. New York’s law prohibits sellers from charging an “unconscionably excessive price” during emergencies.

An official at the Washington attorney general’s office said the agency believed it could apply the state’s consumer-protection law to sue platforms or sellers, even if they aren’t in Washington, as long as they were trying to sell to Washington residents.

Mr. Colvin does not believe he was price gouging. While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each, he said people forget that his price includes his labor, Amazon’s fees and about $10 in shipping. (Alcohol-based sanitizer is pricey to ship because officials consider it a hazardous material.)

Current price-gouging laws “are not built for today’s day and age,” Mr. Colvin said. “They’re built for Billy Bob’s gas station doubling the amount he charges for gas during a hurricane.”

He added, “Just because it cost me $2 in the store doesn’t mean it’s not going to cost me $16 to get it to your door.”

But what about the morality of hoarding products that can prevent the spread of the virus, just to turn a profit?

Mr. Colvin said he was simply fixing “inefficiencies in the marketplace.” Some areas of the country need these products more than others, and he’s helping send the supply toward the demand.

“There’s a crushing overwhelming demand in certain cities right now,” he said. “The Dollar General in the middle of nowhere outside of Lexington, Ky., doesn’t have that.”

He thought about it more. “I honestly feel like it’s a public service,” he added. “I’m being paid for my public service.”

As for his stockpile, Mr. Colvin said he would now probably try to sell it locally. “If I can make a slight profit, that’s fine,” he said. “But I’m not looking to be in a situation where I make the front page of the news for being that guy who hoarded 20,000 bottles of sanitizer that I’m selling for 20 times what they cost me.”

Good data set, thanks for posting.

We know that Corona falls into the flu/Pne category.

Analytics teams will simply be comparing all flu/Pne data last year to this year for their modelling. The data set will end up exposing corona regardless of classication because you will see the spikes.

What would be good to see is from Jan the yoy monthly deaths for flu. March should be an outlier and show a spike. Im not sure whether the US publishes that but it's the data set i'd be looking for.

You can't compare annual stats for something like flu which has had a chance to work completely through its seasonal cycle with something that only been around for a few months like covid19. You need to wait at least a year

Also those diseases/causes of deaths are factored into existing healthcare provisions. Covid19 and whatever it might lead to isn't.

Yep.

The weekly and monthly data set is what they will be looking at right now as you can build a profile for corona from that. No need to wait a year.

But the corona deaths will be categorised all over the place. There are academics who will reclassify it though (there are a number already doing this now).

If covid19 does indeed become a seasonal virus then the first year it will take out large numbers of people who had comorbidites and had only a year or 2 left at best anyway. So those cancer and heart disease deaths etc just come earlier and in a bigger cluster because of covid19. This is what they need to slow down/spread out and what all the drama should be about. I agree looking at the monthly deaths does hold merit, but only to make sure things aren't going to shit!

By next year most of the general population should have developed a natural immunity to the virus and it won't spread anything like it is now. Any deaths from it will probably be far lower than seasonal flu. They will also be pimping the vaccination hard to everyone even though it will largely be irrelevant by then. (invest in pharma)

51 deaths or 51,000 deaths a month. It won't matter this time next year.

Army of one - i wouldn't take that onboard as that is not on trend with the large data available.

They know it takes out old people.

If it took out young people at the same rate, they'd have shut the globe down day 1 as a result of trying to save humanity.

France would need to go on record as saying it's mutated already and now killing young people.

Not just older people, but also people who have underlying health conditions. So a 30 year old in ill health is more susceptible to having severe symptoms or even dying from the virus.

Therein lies the difficulty. The coronavirus is much more deceitful. Some have no symptoms while being contagious. Difficult to box against a sometimes invisible threat . Another concern, this time new, the profile of people admitted to intensive care is changing. Just two or three days ago, the men and women who came to these services for respiratory distress were mainly frail, elderly and already sick people. Now, they are no longer the only ones.

Explain what without pathology means in this application.

The word "pathology" is sometimes misused to mean disease as, for example, "he didn't find any pathology" (meaning he found no evidence of disease).

Quote from the same guy

Q: Today, a person of 30-40 years, even without a medical history, can end up in intensive care?

The answer is yes. It is not to scare people. In fact, it is a very low probability, but it is a non-zero probability.

Not just older people, but also people who have underlying health conditions. So a 30 year old in ill health is more susceptible to having severe symptoms or even dying from the virus.

This is quite simple: If you are smoker, if you have asthma etc. condition, diabetes etc. or your kidneys fked up by juicing, liver cramping by drinking etc. you have quite low chances to keep on living after this virus. So how about average getbigger, who has been smoking weed & cigarettes, has diabetes II by gaining only fat, bad kidneys from cheap gear and liver spoiled by bad moonshine? How about those who has enlarged entrails by insulin protocols, which obstruct their lungs and make them gasp for breath when they try to walk? Just kiss your ass goodbye  ;D

Good work stoking fear into the mush brains out there that have started parking illegally all over the Costco lot and entering multiple times to hoard as much toilet paper as they can fit in their car.

Ive actually noticed a considerable amount of empty shelves at the local food mart. Cleaning supplies are give, breads and cereals almost al gone, hotdogs and meats if that nature are all gone. Costco had significant amounts of meat products missing as well as a few other things. I live in a major metropolitan area.

There is a heightened sense of panic with some shoppers and their behavior is disgusting.  Hope you get the virus first and choke to death for being unhinged pukes.

tough times when the lying liars can't keep up with their own lies


https://www.yahoo.com/news/wing-t-decide-virus-no-093032583.html

Team Trump has finally found itself in a crisis it cannot propagandize its way out of. Unfortunately, this has not led Team Trump (the administration and its various Fox News-based media arms) to pivot to the brash notion of telling the truth. No, of course not.

For the first time ever, though, Team Trump is very confused about which lie to tell. Historically, the Trump administration and Fox News have been meticulous messengers, able to turn almost everything into a way to “own the libs.” But COVID-19 is providing Trump very few opportunities for lib ownership.

Previously, before we hit the crisis stage, we got weeks of obfuscation, and the president’s conviction that “it’s going away. We want it to go away with very, very few deaths.” Now, Trumpists are trying to grapple with the possibility that the global pandemic may in fact be real. As COVID-19 has decimated Italy, killed thousands of Chinese nationals, and spread like a brush fire through at least 47 states, it’s becoming harder and harder for Trumpists to deny the truth.

 

Trump’s Finally Trying to Show Coronavirus Leadership, and It’s Almost Worse

But because they’re Trumpists, they are still trying desperately to stick to the party line. The problem is they’re not completely sure what that party line is. The Trumpists’ messaging has become completely inconsistent, vacillating between Laura Ingraham’s conviction that COVID-19 is a way for Democrats to “to smear the administration in a number of ways,” and Newt Gingrich saying that it was “the Wuhan that poisoned the world. That’s what you get when you get Chinese trade.” Trumpists seem completely conflicted between their love of racism and their passion for denial of obvious facts. How can Trumpists learn to message a pandemic they’ve been saying isn’t real for weeks? 

Many Trumpists will do what Jerry Falwell did Friday morning, which was to dismiss the pandemic while also using it for a little racism and conspiracy talk. After going on the president’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, and saying that people are “overreacting,” Falwell tweeted, “Could Covid-19 be the ‘Christmas gift’ North Korea’s leadership promised America back in December?”

That the disease is no big deal but also the fault of North Korea is a hard needle to thread. Some won’t even bother threading it. One of Trump’s most sycophantic sycophants, Sebastian Gorka, took the opportunity to praise Dear Leader, saying that Trump "has been utterly proven correct" on the "Wuhan virus." Of course Trump has been saying for weeks that the virus would “disappear,” which is obviously not correct, as we are up to 1,700 infected today, and that’s without widespread testing that would put the real number even higher.

One of the few Fox pundits who is taking COVID-19 seriously is Tucker Carlson. Tucker said on Monday, “People you trust—people you probably voted for—have spent weeks minimizing what is clearly a very serious problem.” It’s almost as if he realizes killing his loyal viewers is bad for business.

Of course, I don’t want to congratulate young Tucker too much, because right after that he did an entire segment about how it’s totally not racist to call COVID-19 the Wuhan virus where he put one of my tweets up on the screen, which meant that then my Twitter direct messages were flooded with charming notes from Tucker viewers saying that I was “the real racist for calling it racist.” Not entirely sure how that would work, but logic isn’t really a tenet of Trumpism.   

As the conservative media finds itself stuck between embracing the pandemic as a way to blame China for something and saying Democrats are overreacting in the hopes of making Trump look bad, it’s important to remember that people actually believe these talking points, and a lot of the people who believe these talking points are in the age group for which COVID-19 is the most fatal (the death rate for people over the age of 60 is more than 4.5 percent, and it rises sharply with every decade).

In Friday’s Washington Post, an elderly retiree said, “People are too worried. The flu has killed more people than the coronavirus, and people haven’t been as concerned over the flu.” The conservative media’s messaging may be messy, but its results will be toxic. The average age of a Fox viewer is 65 years old, and the people most likely to die from COVID-19 are over the age of… 65 years old. For these people’s sake, we should hope that Fox world abandons its Trish Regan “Coronavirus is an impeachment scam” messaging before it’s too late for the Boomers who believe it.

errrr....

It's been few months since I post mainly because I changed job and I've been very busy. This evening I feel it's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to share this with all my good friends here since early 2000.

Please do note this is NOT a troll post: many of you maybe remember me and the fact that I always been very straightforward and sincere.  Do not underestimate this situation in the USA: you live in a great Country with economic power and above all people able to overcome any adversity.

But here in Italy the situation is far worse to what you can read in the news.

I live in a fairly small town (25.000 people) but still at the moment we do not know where to put the bodies of dead people. It's this bad, really. The church near the town hospital today was completely full with casks waiting to be sent to the cemetery.

Commercial activities are 90% closed: two weeks ago I had the idea to buy large quantities of food (approx for 60 days for me and my wife). Supermarkets are empty, no food there for the moment. We're locked in my house waiting for the situation to hopefully get better but I'm not that optimistic.

So my friends this is not meant to scare you BUT TO WARN YOU: do not underestimate this situation. Be safe, avoid if possible contact with people and start putting away food for you and your loved ones.

Stay strong my friends, a big hug from Italy.

TIL

and you still dont know one person personally in a small town of 25k people with bodies piling up?

You sir are full of shit..

I've heard that it isn't the flu. It's a virus that mirrors many flu symptoms. The flu is also a virus. My guess is that it is a severe form of the flu. It might be more accurate to say it is not the common flu.

then they need to stop calling it a coronavirus, by definition thats an influenza virus

Italy has been the hardest hit European country yet the virus hasn’t made its way down to the median age group:




https://www.businessinsider.com/italy-coronavirus-old-population-cases-death-rate-2020-3?amp

According to Italy's national health institute, the average age of those who have died was 81, and many of the deceased had preexisting health conditions. Only one in five coronavirus patients is between 19 and 50 years old, making the older population significantly more impacted by the virus in Italy.

C. S. Lewis on the Coronavirus

It’s now clear that COVID-19 is a deadly serious global pandemic, and all necessary precautions should be taken. Still, C. S. Lewis’s words—written 72 years ago—ring with some relevance for us. Just replace “atomic bomb” with “coronavirus.”

In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”

In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.

This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.

Since AIDS can be avoided with proper treatment today, it has not exploded into the general population and is not likely to. In San Francisco in 2018, nearly 16,000 people were living with HIV. In that year, there were 197 people diagnosed with HIV.

On a grander scale, According to UNAIDS : Number of People with HIV—There were approximately 37.9 million people across the globe with HIV/AIDS in 2018. Of these, 36.2 million were adults and 1.7 million were children (<15 years old). New HIV Infections—An estimated 1.7 million individuals worldwide became newly infected with HIV in 2018. Since the first AIDS cases were reported in the United States in June 1981, the number of cases and deaths among persons with AIDS increased rapidly during the 1980s followed by substantial declines in new cases and deaths in the late 1990s.

So, how does this relate to the decline in HIV infections? Are you saying the initial statistical numbers were artificially high and that is the reason later statistical numbers declined? The decline in AIDS cases can be partly explained because of anti-virals which were not initially available. In fact the medications we have today to treat HIV are fairly recent discoveries.

And ironically, that pic you got from social "media" to post here, is also manipulating your life and opinions.

The Coronavirus is accelerating much more rapidly than Swine Flu, hence the panic. Also it has a higher mortality rate. Hospitals are being and will be overloaded if the virus is allowed to spread without doing anything to slow it. It will easily catch and overtake swine flu numbers at the current rate of infection.

If coronavirus infects 60 million people like swine flu, and has the death rate in your pic, 1,715,575 people will die.

So 12,496 deaths for swine flu vs 1,715,575 deaths for coronavirus in the USA if 60 million infected. If only a quarter of those 60 million people get officially tested, that's still 428,000 deaths.

The red line is going up in almost a straight line, its 6500 deaths now. The power of the exponential function.

Post by: SOMEPARTS on March 16, 2020, 12:50:31 AM
The reason for the spike is the lack of immunity from a related strain. Most flus and other viral infections have a certain amount of herd immunity....usually age blocks that are mostly immune.

This one does not have a large block except for the very young which is the reason for the quick spike compared to SARS and H1N1. Older populations are both disproportionately affected because of the lack of prior exposure to something similar as well as the fact that they are less healthy and have comorbidities.

So I understand that this is a very contagious and deadly flu. However, I've seen several government warnings that 30% to 70% of people will contract the virus yet there are only about 170,000 cases worldwide. How do we go from 170,000 to several billion???

Am I missing something?

Well, for every patient with covid-19, each of them will in average infect 5 people more, they 5 each 5 people more etc. until you have several billion. Quite easy, 5 x 5 = 25, 25 x 5 = 125, 125 x 5 = 625 etc., so in five steps you have thousands of people, at 12 steps billions people.  ;D

Just a bit of anecdotal evidence on the ground.

On March 1st. I ran in a 5K with 5000 other runners in New York City. At the start of these races you get crammed into corrals and hang there for about 15 minutes. It was a cold dry day where a virus would’ve thrived. I know several other people who ran in this race. Apparently the virus starts to show symptoms in 5 to 14 days. No one has gotten sick.

I realize that the coronavirus has a high mortality rate, but there are 80,000 cases in China and the transmission is already slowing down.

I don't see how 80,000 cases in China, a country of over 1 billion people equates to 60 million cases in the US.

Also the graph you posted is deceptive. The virus started over 120 days ago not 60. If you look at a graph from China you'll see it's hardly exponential.

If the transmission rate is so high why did they have to manipulate the graph?  ???

I believe the overreaction that you’re seeing is simply ass covering. Businesses don’t want to get sued. Government officials don’t wanna lose their jobs.
That's what I think.  No one wants to be accused of not doing enough.

I don't see how 80,000 cases in China, a country of over 1 billion people equates to 60 million cases in the US.

Because they are not testing people.

When you get the flu but don't need medical help, do you go to the doctor and ask to be tested to see if hou are sick? Or do you know you are sick, aren't that bad, bed rest will fix it, so you stay at home and like magic, you get better?

The test numbers outside of China are your severe guage pretty much. They can be used as an indicator to how many people require medical assistance. For anyone else not rocking up at a hospital, you won't be in the number.

These are the numbers:
50% of Americans are supposed to get it - 165M
5% will be severe 8.25M
2% of those sick will die 3.3M

Of the 8.25M expected severe cases, the US has 0.004M cases right now......  either it is super early and will hit like a tidal wave in 8 weeks time or it's overblown. Pick an option.

If it's really as bad as it's made out to be, in 1-2 weeks time we will see stuff being posted on Facebook and other social media by friends and people we know. My area is heavily 65yr+ and we know corona is already through thr suburb. If we don't hear much in 2-4 weeks then perhaps it is BS afterall.......

What is more, doctor's and hospitals don't want people showing up for tests if they only think they have the coronavirus. If you call your doctor or have someone do it for you to say you are experiencing life threatening respiratory distress, the doctor's office will tell you to go to an emergency room. On the other hand, if you show up at the emergency room and you are not experiencing a medical emergency, they will send you home. Most health insurance plans require you to pay the cost of an emergency room visit unless you are admitted to the hospital.

I recommend you cancel any non-emergency medical, dental and vision appointments. Do you really want someone working that close to you even if you both wear masks?

Idris Elba becomes one of the small handful of famous to come down with it -

Seems mildly sick, and in good spirits from the video posted below -

https://twitter.com/idriselba/status/1239617034901524481 .


Kristofer Hivju, best known for his roles on Game of Thrones and The Witcher, has tested positive for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, making him the latest notable name to come down with the virus which has paralyzed much of the industrialized world. Hivju, who played Tormund Giantsbane in the long-running HBO series, had just joined The Witcher recently -- weeks before the production was shut down due to concerns over the spread of the virus. Nearly all TV and film productions have ground to a halt over the last couple of weeks, leaving the entertainment world in chaos as theaters close down and box office numbers plummet.

Hivju announced his diagnosis on social media. The revelation follows similar announcements by Tom Hanks and Idris Elba.

New Jersey announces 80 new coronavirus cases. Statewide total jumps to at least 178 positive tests.

The coronavirus outbreak in New Jersey increased to at least 178 cases on Monday with 80 new positive tests for COVID-19 announced by state officials with two deaths, as residents brace for sweeping new restrictions including a call for a statewide curfew, closure of all public and private schools and the shut down of casinos, dine-in restaurant service, theaters gyms and bars.

The latest numbers were made public on the state Department of Health’s website and by Gov. Phil Murphy during an afternoon briefing. Murphy also announced plans to mobilize the National Guard for the coronavirus response.

The two N.J. coronavirus deaths are linked, state officials have said. A religious education teacher from Freehold, Rita Fusco-Jackson, who was in her 50s, died on Thursday. Her death is connected to the death of John Brennan, a horse trainer who lived in Little Ferry.

Like Brennan, Fusco-Jackson’s family was involved in harness horse racing and the two deaths were connected through a family gathering in Monmouth County.

The age range for the new cases is 5-year-old to 93-years-old, marking the first known pediatric case in the state, according to Department of Health Commissioner Judy Persichelli.

“It’s the youngest child affected,” Persichelli said. "And that child is home.”

“The majority are hospitalized or have been hospitalized,” Persichelli said of the state’s 178 cases.

The county-by-county list of cases released by the state Monday includes:

Bergen County: 61
Essex County: 20
Hudson County: 19
Middlesex County: 17
Monmouth County: 14
Passaic County: 8
Union County: 8
Mercer County: 6
Morris County: 6
Burlington County: 5
Somerset County: 5
Camden County: 3
Ocean County: 3
Hunterdon County: 1
The counties were not identified for two of the new cases.

The latest update from New Jersey health officials comes hours after Murphy, along with governors in New York and Connecticut, made an unprecedented move in all three states to close all restaurants, bars, movie theaters, gyms and casinos beginning 8 p.m. Monday. All will be closed until further notice, though restaurants and bars will be allowed to offer takeout and delivery.

The coronavirus outbreak has continued to spread in New Jersey and there are now cases in 14 of 21 counties. Bergen County has the most coronavirus cases with 61, according to the state.

More than 175,000 people across the globe have been infected during the coronavirus pandemic and 6,700 people have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. In the United States, there are more than 4,000 confirmed cases and 69 deaths.

Former James Bond star, Olga Kurylenko, has taken to social media to reveal to her fans that she has been diagnosed with coronavirus. The actress, who starred alongside Daniel Craig in 2008's Quantum of Solace, told fans in a post on Instagram that she has been feeling ill for about a week, which led to her testing positive for coronavirus over the weekend. She seems to be in good spirits, however, and is urging others reading the post to take the current pandemic seriously.

"Locked up at home after having tested positive for coronavirus," Kurylenko wrote on Instagram. "I've actually been ill for almost a week now. Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms. Take care of yourself and do take this seriously!"

Kurylenko portrayed Camile in Quantum of Solace, Craig's second outing as James Bond. Camile had her own agenda in the film, just as Bond did, and the duo needed to work together to stop Mathieu Amalric's Dominic Greene. Quantum of Solace was the only Bond film that Kurylenko appeared in. She has since had roles in films such as Oblivion, The Water Diviner, and The Room, as well as the TV series Magic City.

The James Bond franchise itself has also been affected by the spreading of the coronavirus. No Time to Die, the 25th installment in the series and Craig's last outing as the titular character, was originally set to arrive in theaters next month. However, due to the ongoing crisis surrounding the virus, No Time to Die was pushed back to November.

Craig's final movie as James Bond is currently scheduled to hit theaters on November 25th.

Italy May Soon Be Forced to Stop Treating Coronavirus Patients Over 80


Italian hospitals, buckling under a surge of coronavirus patients, may soon have to deny intensive care treatment to people over 80, according to draft plans for the next phase of the crisis.

A written proposal by the civil protection department of the badly-hit northern region of Piedmont, seen by The Telegraph newspaper, warns that the constant rise in patients means that demand for intensive care resources will outstrip supply. That will force health authorities to choose who gets treated and who doesn’t — with those considered more likely to survive to get priority.

The document, which lays out guidelines for assessing who should get treatment once that tipping point is reached, proposes that people over 80, and those already in poor health, will be denied.

“The criteria for access to intensive therapy in cases of emergency must include age of less than 80 or a score on the Charlson comorbidity Index [measuring what other medical conditions the patient has] of less than 5,” says the document.

Luigi Icardi, a health councillor in Piedmont, said the protocols would establish binding priorities for who receives treatment, based on their chance of survival. “I never wanted to see such a moment,” he said.

The document reportedly only needs approval from a technical-scientific committee before being sent to hospitals. Government sources said the same criteria were expected to be rolled out throughout Italy, the Telegraph reported.

Doctors in Italy, where the epidemic is worse than in any place outside China, have been warning that it will cause their healthcare system to collapse as the unending flow of new patients pushes ICU bed capacity to breaking point. A national lockdown that was imposed last week has done nothing to slow the rise of infections and deaths; officials reported 368 new fatalities on Sunday, the greatest day-on-day increase in the country so far.

Nearly 25,000 people have been tested positive for the virus in Italy, and a total of 1,809 people have died there, out of about 6,000 deaths worldwide. Experts have speculated that the high death toll in Italy is linked to the age of its population, which is the oldest in Europe.

The Italian document adds to the alarming picture of the threat facing the elderly as the pandemic rages in more than 100 countries. In the UK, Health Minister Matt Hancock said Sunday that people over 70 will soon be asked to stay at home for up to four months to protect themselves.

Speaking to the BBC, Hancock said the measure, expected to be announced in coming weeks, was “a very big ask,” but that it was a necessary restriction to try to protect them, as the virus was anticipated to spread widely through the community.

The warning came as details of a secret government briefing to top officials in Britain’s health system laid out the expected impact of the outbreak in the UK. The document, reported by The Guardian Sunday, predicted that the outbreak will last until spring 2021, infect up to 80 percent of the population, and require about 8 million people (about 15 percent) to be hospitalized.

Cover: Hospital personnel seen at the window of the Gemelli hospital where Columbus Covid 2 hospital opened to treat COVID virus patients, in Rome, Monday, March 16, 2020. The vast majority of people recover from the new coronavirus. According to the World Health Organization, most people recover in about two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the illness.

I realize that the coronavirus has a high mortality rate, but there are 80,000 cases in China and the transmission is already slowing down.

I don't see how 80,000 cases in China, a country of over 1 billion people equates to 60 million cases in the US.

Also the graph you posted is deceptive. The virus started over 120 days ago not 60. If you look at a graph from China you'll see it's hardly exponential.

If the transmission rate is so high why did they have to manipulate the graph?  ???

China forced people to lock themselves in their homes to stop the spread starting in January, they were very strict about it. Do you think Americans would voluntarily lock themselves in their homes for over a month? From traffic data coming out of Wuhan (11 million population), there is still very low activity, so people are still quarantined since January 25th. That's nearly 2 months of quarantine.  Americans won't do this which means infections will skyrocket.

The graph I posted is deaths not infected. You graph you just posted is already out of date as there are 27,980 infected in italy, not 12,462. And all other countries is 101,529 cases not 16,966. See how fast it's increasing?

Right click, open image in new tab...

This is traffic congestion nearly two months after lockdown of a 11 million person city, the city is still dead, barely any traffic!!! That's why China is controlling it, they shut down everything, nobody leave their homes for months!!!

China forced people to lock themselves in their homes to stop the spread starting in January, they were very strict about it. Do you think Americans would voluntarily lock themselves in their homes for over a month? From traffic data coming out of Wuhan (11 million population), there is still very low activity, so people are still quarantined since January 25th. That's nearly 2 months of quarantine.  Americans won't do this which means infections will skyrocket.

The graph I posted is deaths not infected. You graph you just posted is already out of date as there are 27,980 infected in italy, not 12,462. And all other countries is 101,529 cases not 16,966. See how fast it's increasing?

Right click, open image in new tab...

This is traffic congestion nearly two months after lockdown of a 11 million person city, the city is still dead, barely any traffic!!! That's why China is controlling it, they shut down everything, nobody leave their homes for months!!!



So, how and when did it spread to so many other countries?

So, how and when did it spread to so many other countries?

It's been in China since November/December. So Chinese travelers have been travelling all over the world since then until lockdown, Chinese travelers have infected people wherever they traveled. Then the infected locals spread it around, the virus spreading stealthily due to long incubation period before symptoms show.

Just before Wuhan was shutdown, 5 million people left the city.

https://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-left-wuhan-before-coronavirus-quarantine-2020-1 (https://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-left-wuhan-before-coronavirus-quarantine-2020-1)

5 million people left Wuhan before China quarantined the city to contain the coronavirus outbreak
Ashley Collman Jan 28, 2020, 2:41 AM

- About 5 million people left Wuhan, China, before the lockdown last week, the city's mayor said Sunday.
- As of Monday, 81 people have died from Wuhan coronavirus, and more than 2,700 cases have been reported in mainland China.
- The virus has spread to 13 countries as well, with five confirmed cases in the US.



Note China started strict lockdown when with only 2700 cases at the time and it still increased to 80,000.

Trump’s repeated insistences that coronavirus is under control have reached a critical moment

Elba says he tested positive for coronavirus
Energized by the stock markets’ late surge two days earlier, President Trump on Sunday offered assurances about the progress of the country’s fight against the novel coronavirus.

“This is a very contagious — this is a very contagious virus. It’s incredible,” he said. “But it’s something that we have tremendous control over.”

It was a bit of optimism that seemed to run contrary to the moment. It was also a return to form for Trump, who has continually claimed that the virus is under control in the United States.

Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today’s most popular stories on The Washington Post

He did so two weeks ago, during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. At the time, there were still under 100 cases in the United States.

“We’ve done a great job. And I’ve gotten to know these professionals,” Trump said then. “They’re incredible. And everything is under control. I mean, they’re very, very cool. They’ve done it, and they’ve done it well. Everything is really under control.”

Since then, the number of confirmed cases in the country has risen an average of 30 percent a day. That’s confirmed cases; the actual number of cases is undoubtedly an order of magnitude higher. It’s hard to ascertain the actual number, in part because only about 30,000 tests have been conducted.

During his first briefing on the coronavirus, on Feb. 26, Trump insisted that the government had things well in hand.


“It’s going to be very well under control. Now, it may get bigger, it may get a little bigger. It may not get bigger at all. We’ll see what happens,” he said, later adding that the virus “is a little bit different [from the flu], but in some ways it’s easier and in some ways it’s a little bit tougher. But we have it so well under control. I mean, we really have done a very good job.”

He also said publicly that the virus was under control on Feb. 25, Feb. 24, Feb. 23, Jan. 30 and Jan. 22. That last example came during an interview with CNBC.

“We have it totally under control,” he said then. “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s — going to be just fine.”

Needless to say, the government did not have it under control. The question now is whether the damage from the virus can be controlled, both directly — infections and deaths — and indirectly, in the strain it puts on the country’s health-care system. That strain could lead to additional deaths as lifesaving resources needed for other issues are consumed by coronavirus patients.

That grim reality has been experienced in Italy, where the number of coronavirus infections has continued to grow. As we noted last week, the increase in cases in the United States has tracked with the increase in Italy, trailing Italy by a bit over a week in the number of cases. On Sunday, there were nearly 3,700 cases in the United States, about where Italy was on March 6.

This is not a portrait of a country where coronavirus is under control.

a close up of a map
The good news is that the increase in confirmed cases in the United States is not climbing at the same rate as in Spain or China, growth rates that stand out when considering the shift since the 500th case was reported in each country. (Again, we reiterate the necessary caveat that the real, undetected number of cases in the United States is much larger.) The bad news is that it’s continuing to grow.

a close up of a map
Notice, though, how Italy and South Korea diverged at about the point that the United States has reached. South Korea, which conducted broad testing for the virus and implemented stringent social distancing measures, saw the number of new cases slow. Italy, which was slower to respond, has seen a continued increase.

a close up of a map
It offers a glimmer of hope for the United States: Are the measures being rolled out across the country enough to shift our trajectory to mirror that of South Korea? Might Trump’s repeated confidence about the virus being under control reflect such a shift?

Unfortunately, zooming back to the 100-case level suggests that it doesn’t. South Korea’s effort to limit the number of cases it was seeing was already evident at the point the United States has reached. The slope of the curve had already begun to shift downward.

a close up of a map
These are absolute numbers, so part of the reason that the rate of increase in the United States better mirrors that in Italy than in South Korea may be a function of the fact that the United States’ efforts to shift the behavior of its population is slower.

But that may just be optimism. As noted above, the United States has continued to average about 30 percent more confirmed cases each day since hitting the 500th case. That’s slower than Spain, but faster than both Italy and South Korea.

a screenshot of a cell phone
There is certainly value in the president calming Americans’ concerns about the coronavirus. The challenge for Trump, though, is that his assurances have been uncoupled from reality for months. It’s hard to see evidence for his claim that the virus is under control now just as it was hard to see how he could make a similar assurance in late January.

If some portion of Trump’s confidence Sunday stemmed from his enthusiasm about the market surge Friday — he sent an autographed picture of the surge to his favorite host on Fox Business — that confidence has probably waned. Markets opened down significantly Monday morning.

The threat to the economy isn’t demonstrably under control, either.

"" On 31 January, the first two cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Rome. A Chinese couple, originally from Wuhan, who had arrived in Italy on January 23 via Milan Malpensa Airport travelled from the airport to Verona, then to Parma, arriving in Rome on 28 January. The next afternoon, they developed a cough, and by evening the man had a fever; the couple were taken to Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases where they tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and were hospitalised.[20][2] The Italian government suspended all flights to and from China and declared a state of emergency.

And how do you do that exactly, think and act for yourselves? Will you go to the gym even though it's locked? Will you meet up with other people even though there's a risk of getting the virus and infecting somebody elder or with an illness that might die because of it?
Will you stop washing your hands?

Let me know all the AWESOME stuff you guys do that others dont, you who can think and act for yourself!

Why is it necessary to exaggerate what people will or won't do. If the gym is locked, don't go. You'd have to break in and that's a crime. With everything closed, there's not much to do if you meet up with other people. Where are you going to meet? Everything is closed. If you get the virus take the appropriate steps to make sure you don't spread it. Elderly people, specially those who are ill eventually die from something or other (I say this and I am elderly) it is just a fact of life. And lastly, why would you ask such a stupid question as "will you stop washing your hands?" No, I am not going to stop washing my hands, in fact, I am washing them more than ever.

Supposed to double every 2-4 days, slowing as you near the peak.  At first you can see the 2 day multiple then it slows to 4 day but now it has slowed again.

Italy were deemed the worst, therefore arguably should get the highest infection rate. Lets say 80%.

Population 60M @ 80% infection is 48M.
Death rate of 2% is 0.96M

Infection of 48M vs reported 0.0028M and data showing it has slowed meaning it should be nearing the peak. That is at odds to the shutdown timing. Incubation is 2 weeks + 1 week to feel bad. The numbers should continue to increase for at least 1-2 weeks before any impact (if any) from the.shutdowns shows a slowing.


Therefore the conclusion is they are slowing down their diagnosis of the virus just like everybody else.

The UK government is being savage. They basically want the virus to steadily work it's way through the population taking out many of those who put a strain on the system. My guess is there will be 200,000 corona related deaths in 12 months.

I didn't think any government would have the balls to do that. The US looks to be doing the same thing although I'm not sure it's by design.

Getbigger bringing you all the government plans and predictions before they release the information to the wider public. UK government trying to do some damage limitation now to appease the public, no backing out now though. If our fatter American friends take the same savage course of action as the Brits they are looking at a million deaths.

The government ramped up measures against the coronavirus epidemic following new predictions that the UK could otherwise have seen 250,000 deaths.

Infection of 48M vs reported 0.0028M and data showing it has slowed meaning it should be nearing the peak. That is at odds to the shutdown timing. Incubation is 2 weeks + 1 week to feel bad. The numbers should continue to increase for at least 1-2 weeks before any impact (if any) from the.shutdowns shows a slowing.


Therefore the conclusion is they are slowing down their diagnosis of the virus just like everybody else.


These numbers perfectly demonstrate what I'm talking about.

They started quarantining on Feb 23, 2020 with only 79 cases. That was 3 weeks ago.

If you don't quarantine early like china and italy the numbers will explode.

The numbers haven't exploded. That's the point.

There is supposed to be 48M in Italy infected by this highly infectious virus. They have 28k with the increase slowing which suggests the peak is near according to them.

Seasonal flu in Italy hits 3M people, kills 70k each year.

This has gotten 28k, killed 2k...... and they shut down a country of 66M......

The data along with such severe shutdowns is not stacking up with what we have been told.

It's been in China since November/December. So Chinese travelers have been travelling all over the world since then until lockdown, Chinese travelers have infected people wherever they traveled. Then the infected locals spread it around, the virus spreading stealthily due to long incubation period before symptoms show.

Just before Wuhan was shutdown, 5 million people left the city.

https://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-left-wuhan-before-coronavirus-quarantine-2020-1 (https://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-left-wuhan-before-coronavirus-quarantine-2020-1)

5 million people left Wuhan before China quarantined the city to contain the coronavirus outbreak
Ashley Collman Jan 28, 2020, 2:41 AM

- About 5 million people left Wuhan, China, before the lockdown last week, the city's mayor said Sunday.
- As of Monday, 81 people have died from Wuhan coronavirus, and more than 2,700 cases have been reported in mainland China.
- The virus has spread to 13 countries as well, with five confirmed cases in the US.



Note China started strict lockdown when with only 2700 cases at the time and it still increased to 80,000.

The American city with the largest Chinese population is New York. Yet, there’s  been no outbreak here. Hospitals are not overrun. Only a handful of people have died and they’ve all been either very old and sick or middle-aged with diabetes and heart disease. In other words, they all had pre-existing health conditions so you can’t even say that it was corona which killed them.

There have been literally no precautions taken here until the last week when everybody has gotten all crazy. How many parties, sporting events, concerts, plays and school classes have taken place in the last few months?

If it’s really bad as we have been told shouldn’t  things be much worse here?

"Study: Coronavirus Lockdown Likely Saved 77,000 Lives In China Just By Reducing Pollution"

China’s coronavirus lockdown likely saved tens of thousands of lives by slashing air pollution from factories and vehicles, according to a new analysis by a Stanford University scientist.

Two months of pollution reduction “likely has saved the lives of 4,000 kids under 5 and 73,000 adults over 70 in China,”

It’s picking up steam because the panic and hysteria is so great that anybody who coughs once thinks they have it and some head to the hospitals.

What has really picked up steam has been the government and business reactions. It’s gone from nothing to everything shutting down, all events canceling and the public schools closing in a week.

While I generally don’t trust governments, I don’t have a bias in this fight. If it were bad I would say it’s bad. It’s not. And if you’re going to tell me to just wait you’re gonna have to explain why we made it through the worst part of flu season without an outbreak and now it’s going to takeoff when the season is about to end.

Chicken Little Virus, aka CLV is the bigger problem.  It's not that I don't worry about the CoronaVirus but rather that I don't give a fuck about the spread of Corona to turd-worlders because the USA is not some turd-world kuntry. 

What's hurting more people is the spread of CLV. 

Personally, I hope the disease destroys and decimates ChiCom and islime.  The Chinese Communists wiped out how many female babies?  The muslimes are the real plague and if Corona kills 'em off, that's great for the Civilized World.

But any that feeeeeeeeeeeeel that divershitty is the way I hope they get it and promptly assume room temperature, regardless of nationality, skin color, hair color, eye color, religious beliefs or lack thereof.

So here's to CNN and PMSNBC shutting down.  Here's to all those poor, huddled asses, yearning to fleece the Civilized World dropping dead. Here's to Merkel going the way of the Dodo.  Here's to Trudeau going over the falls never to return.  Here's to the Green Meanies turning up red roses, including that insufferable cuntlette, Greta Thunberg and her parental units.  And oh yeah...Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger too. Fucking douche.

Here's to the end of the EU and all it's "leaders".   Liberalism deserves extinction. Let the CoronaVirus be the comet that wipes them clean off the face of the Earth.

For Italy

"" On 31 January, the first two cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Rome. A Chinese couple, originally from Wuhan, who had arrived in Italy on January 23 via Milan Malpensa Airport travelled from the airport to Verona, then to Parma, arriving in Rome on 28 January. The next afternoon, they developed a cough, and by evening the man had a fever; the couple were taken to Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases where they tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and were hospitalised.[20][2] The Italian government suspended all flights to and from China and declared a state of emergency. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Italy was the first EU country to take this kind of precautionary measure.[21] The government also introduced thermal scanners and temperature checks on international passengers arriving at Italian airports.[22] ""

This was the next 6 weeks or so:

1/31/2020   2 (n.a.)
2/6/2020   3 (+50%)
2/21/2020   20 (+567%)
2/22/2020   79 (+295%)

Chicken Little Virus, aka CLV is the bigger problem.  It's not that I don't worry about the CoronaVirus but rather that I don't give a fuck about the spread of Corona to turd-worlders because the USA is not some turd-world kuntry. 

What's hurting more people is the spread of CLV. 

Personally, I hope the disease destroys and decimates ChiCom and islime.  The Chinese Communists wiped out how many female babies?  The muslimes are the real plague and if Corona kills 'em off, that's great for the Civilized World.

But any that feeeeeeeeeeeeel that divershitty is the way I hope they get it and promptly assume room temperature, regardless of nationality, skin color, hair color, eye color, religious beliefs or lack thereof.

So here's to CNN and PMSNBC shutting down.  Here's to all those poor, huddled asses, yearning to fleece the Civilized World dropping dead. Here's to Merkel going the way of the Dodo.  Here's to Trudeau going over the falls never to return.  Here's to the Green Meanies turning up red roses, including that insufferable cuntlette, Greta Thunberg and her parental units.  And oh yeah...Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger too. Fucking douche.

Here's to the end of the EU and all it's "leaders".   Liberalism deserves extinction. Let the CoronaVirus be the comet that wipes them clean off the face of the Earth.

This chinese virus seem to prosper quite good in the America. 27th of Feb there were 60 covid-19 cases in US and 0 deaths. Today, 20 days later there is just under 5700 cases, and 97 deaths. Number has rise ~25-40% per day, so what happen next 20 days?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_States)

Likely the same pattern as China & by the looks of it Italy it’ll hit its peak in 2/4wks & then start
Decreasing just as quickly.

20,000 Thousand People Die Every year in the U.K. from Flu - No Panic - no lock downs - no warnings

That's because China and Italy locked down their countries, preventing transmission. Think about it for a second..

The last 4 days new cases totals are as follows: 3,497 3,590 3,233 and today 3,526

That's a classic linear progression. No evidence 200 plus Americans will contract the virus.

And if China locked downed the country in January that means the people who would’ve been spreading the virus left in December. So why was there no big outbreak in the American city with the highest population of Chinese, New York, in January and February when there were no restrictions? From my understanding, symptoms start to appear from 5 to 14 days.

Coronavirus: France President Macron suspends rent, taxes and utilities

The minute details of the lock-down outlined tight controls over residents' civil liberties unprecedented in peacetime.

The French will be required to download a form online and fill it out each time they venture outside - writing ‘going out to buy a baguette’ or ‘walking the dog’ - or risk a €38 (£34.60) fine if they are caught short

The country's interior minister outlined the finer details after Mr Macron announced the extreme measures in a solemn live TV address on Monday evening.

Mr Macron said earlier people would have to stay at home unless shopping for food or going to a pharmacy, heading for absolutely essential work, or exercising alone.

The lock-down measures come in at midday tomorrow and are set to remain in force for at least two weeks, as France follows the lead of other EU nations and shuts its borders amid the global pandemic.

New York City has a larger population of Chinese than the entire country of Italy. Yet there’s been no outbreak. It just doesn’t add up.


The community of Chinese people in Italy has grown rapidly in the past ten years. Official statistics indicate there are at least 320,794 Chinese citizens in Italy, although these figures do not account for illegal immigration, former Chinese citizens who have acquired Italian nationality or Italian-born people of Chinese descent.[1]


New York City has the largest Chinese population of any city outside of Asia[13] and within the U.S. with an estimated population of 573,388 in 2014,[14] and continues to be a primary destination for new Chinese immigrants.[15]

From my understanding, symptoms start to appear from 5 to 14 days.

Most have mild cases or no symptoms, others past it off as the flu. Also I doubt many Wuhan Chinese have connections to New York.

I remember a fair few people in early Feb saying the had a cold for a few days, got better and then got hit by another really nasty cold/flu type thing. Everyone was saying it's just something going around. It's only in the last couple of weeks that people are realising that they possibly had coronavirus disease.

I actually met someone who had those exact same corona symptoms (cold, feeling better, flu) back in Feb, but she is always ill so thought nothing of it at the time. Few days later I woke up with a sore throat. It's been years since I had a sore throat, but managed to find some 5 year old lozenges in the medicine cabinet, had a few and that was that.

Find out today her work offices are always full of Chinese engineers who fly back and forth from China. Good chance we've both had it and many others will have similar stories. They need to get the antigen test ready. If I knew I'd already had it I'd be much more inclined to help some of those who might need it right now.

Listen, all politicians are conmen. People do not like being deceived and that's what happened when they voted in a conman they actually thought might be different. Obama played people hard and many gonna hurt.

Trump is a straight forward conman. Some might say he is a terrible conman and a bit of an idiot, but it's that very fact that means people don't care when he tries to deceive them. Some also enjoy how butt hurt people get over Trump so they like him even more.

I got sepsis in August from a surgery gone wrong. I'll take the WuFlu over that any day. Because of the antibiotics my red blood cell production took a dive and for a month breathing felt like I was permanently living at 10,000 feet. My surgeon said I was 24 hours from attaining room temperature. So yeah- I get what severe illness is all about.

95% of people who die from any variation of the flu are typically already lung , kidney or high blood pressure marginal. A common cold can do them in. The real crime in this BS pandemic is the massive overreach of governments based on literally a tempest in a tea cup.

The second phrase implies there are dead people in the house, while the first says there are other people living in my house. I know, it's nit-picking. But to make you happy, I'll be more precise. I am the oldest resident of my house. Better?   :)

No, dyslexia has nothing to do with understanding context and grammar, its a word blindness of sorts..it has nothing to do with general intelligence

An intelligent man like yourself should know that..

If I were an intelligent man, I might have known that. Since I didn't, I guess I'm not that intelligent after all. I do have mild dyslexia though. Are dyslexics intelligent or stupid? I don't know. Do you know?

If Italy was able to stop the virus from exponentially spreading then why is everyone panicking???

They stopped the potential exponential spread by panicking.

Also, if the virus didn't spread exponentially why did Italy lock down its citizens in the first place???

Well most of it is still locked down, traffic is still only around 10% of normal traffic there this time of year.Its also just logic, if you weld everyone Indoors, everyone with the virus either died, or recovers and wasn't around anyone else to pass it on to.Im also assuming nobody is stupid enough to voluntarily enter Wuhan at the moment who doesn't live there, or have to be there for supply chains etc.The issue will be when Wuhan is fully open again, it will only take 1 or 2 people to enter with the virus to kick it all off again and infect those who managed to avoid It the first time around, while the rest should be ok because they developed immunity.But then the virus likely is a different strain every season like flu, so the ones who developed immunity to the first Wuhan strain, won't have immunity to the 2nd.

Natural selection favours milder strains of the disease.

The thing that gets very little attention is the fact that coronaviruses have been infecting humans for donkeys years. We just pass it off as a common cold now.

Covid-19 is just the birth off a new common cold virus. Again it's natural selection taking place as evident in the people we see it taking out. If this virus happened 200 years it would barely be a footnote in history, but mankind has become soft and this is the end result.

We will get a reset after this, albeit a small one, but it's better than nothing.

Do the other strains of the coronavirus (common cold) result in an equal percentage of acute cases and deaths as does COVID-19?

When they first infected humans they were likely far more deadly than covid-19 i.e they caused death amongst many healthy individuals too, unless it started out as a very mild from the beginning.

Covid-19 will take one of two paths. Mutate into a mild strain and become seasonal or infect a large percentage of the population and disappear

"More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions,
according to a study by the country’s national health authority."

"The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities,
finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims
suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

"More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease."

"The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had
died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions."

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/99-of-those-who-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says

Likely more died today worldwide from Covid 19 than flu.Over 1000 deaths.And it looks like just the start.I just hope the "its just the flu bro" crowd here didn't drastically put more people in danger when me and Gib were warning people of what was to come.I said 4 weeks ago to stock up, now there are people in the UK who cant get a food delivery because everything is booked for 4 weeks and the supermarkets are empty of everything essential.

I must be dense because it sure looks like that's what you wrote. Maybe it's not what you meant. What did you mean?
If you clicked on the link, you would see that I copied what the CDC wrote. Many of these deaths being attributed to the end of the world coronavirus, could very well be the regular old influenza that plagues the world every year with over 200,000 deaths and upwards of 600,000 on a bad year, yet we've never had to shut down a city, county, state, country......until now. Wonder why?

In two weeks they will just extend it another two weeks again and again.  Bankruptcies are going to soar and businesses are going to be told they can't turn off services for those who can't pay.  I heard in California they are banning evictions for people who can't pay the landlord for the next 90 days.  They will drag this out as long as they can and then next winter we start all over again with another outbreak just like the flu.

COVID-19 has been here since Nov-December. The curve is what it is, increased testing is just showing us the scope of it all now.

Not 60 and older with comorbidities are at the highest risk.....stay home. Isolate them.

Everyone else....take precautions.

If we never heard of COVID-19 and the Chinese were successful in covering it all up.....this would be counted as a really bad flu season. The world is 2 months behind because of the Chinese, it is what it is now.

Also, out of the new cases....how many of those infected required hospitalization?

Median age is not that high.

"More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions,
according to a study by the country’s national health authority."

"The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities,
finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims
suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

"More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease."

"The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had
died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions."

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/99-of-those-who-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says

Median age of Italians is 45.7; for Americans 38.2.

If you're not doing one of these things you can be imprisoned and/or fined 25 000 Euros.

There is no doubt whether this was planned or not, the result is going to be the end of capitalism as we now it, at least for a good while as the taxes imposed on us from the crisis will mean we will all be working for nothing. I have said from every crisis small business dies and corporates thrives, the end result being a type of big business corporate government socialism, the sheep just too busy buying toilet paper to know, and lets be honest to them it makes no difference, its only those who aspire for more in life it will effect.

As I pointed out some weeks ago, this is becoming a major problem in North America. This coming Monday you will have a better understanding what a major headache this virus is. In another two weeks you can start expecting more extreme measures when it comes to population movement. Only an idiot like Trump and his retarded posse cannot predict what will happen in a few weeks.

When I started criticizing orange Mussolini bitch, since he came to power, I knew something not too many of you in the USA have ever encountered before. Dictators that have no inkling of morality look like cretin Trump. They are everywhere. There is one leading my country of Serbia, right now. Trump has something that parts an ocean in the good old USA - $$$. The reason why he has it not because he is a good businessman, as a matter of fact, he's terrible at it, but because his daddy left loads of money to him.
In America there is a strange, very superficial understanding of people. As long as you have money, you're the best. It does not matter, if you swindled others out their hard earned currency, it does not matter if you are a pedophile, a rapist or like to torture others that are weaker than you. You are god.

Well, The Time of the Corona will show Craponic Shite and the crew, which belong to the above mentioned perverted low-life opportunist cowards, who the real ruler on this planet is. Soon, all these racist red-neck fuckers will get what they deserve. They don't see what's coming because they are so full of themselves. Just like those fucking, dirty, child-porn loving, so called Republican congressmen and senators who support the USA destroying Republican agenda.

Nobody can predict when Trump The Scum will cease to exist but we all know that he will cry while shitting his pants while dying because he lived a dishonest, hate-filled life and the end is near.

I learned in the first 16 years of my life that all the people that preach hate, discourse between us all, destruction and encouraging fear will be doomed to repeat this hate filled life until their karma is fulfilled, meaning, until they suffer so much, to learn the way of acceptance and empathy. Then, they can move on to the next level.

You can say that I am rambling and that I am crazy, but in the next several weeks you will see what happens to the USA. You will understand what I and the good Americans on this board meant when they had said: Don't elect an idiot to lead the country.

It's too late now. The orange coward has already severely blunted the US response to the epidemic by his irresponsible actions. The damage is going to be awesome, but we could all (normal people) see the beginnings of that when he colluded with the criminal Russian government to win the elections.

Now let's hear those extremely intelligent responses from the backward Craponic Shite crew.

Oh, and being eloquent in English does not mean you are smart, The Scott. I learned English when I was 19 years old and I can still write better than you in Serbian and English.

The flu is endemic because it changes it surface antigens, this means that when we get it we can catch it again the next season because the immune system "indicators" have changed.... This is why the vaccine changes every season as it must be developed to target the newest antigens, it's what makes influenza such an impressive pathogen.

As this virus moves through the population community immunity will develop and the virus will eventually be eliminated or numbers will become very low.

So if Chinese mobile has lost 8 million subscribers why haven’t we heard more about this? China may be able to suppress their nation somewhat, but there are many Chinese born who live in the States, or all over the world, surely we would hear something was a foot?

Bro you’re the expert. Are 10’s of 1000’s dying in the EU?

I don’t have a problem saying you were right that this virus has ruined everything, CONGRATULATIONS!

But based on the information provided this is killing those who were sentenced to death already.

California is on a “lockdown” but you can still fly in and out of the state. There are to many mixed messages being sent.

I think it makes sense to assume low traffic means the are not getting around as much.

Wuhan still in lockdown after 2 months. That's how China controlled this virus. They went into lockdown when they had only 1000 cases. We can look to Wuhan to see how long lockdowns will last in areas where the virus is multiplying in high numbers.

Army of one was correct about infrastructure and supply chains going down, but this is more from people panicking rather than illness.

Also it almost looks like they are deliberately trying to test out the heard immunity theory in London. They have done nothing to stop crowds in supermarkets and on transport. If anything the have encouraged/enabled it.

If the aim was for minimal virus deaths they needed to implement a lock down at latest last week,  but there is still no sign of one yet. Instead of a 2-3 week lock down they seem to want to implement a 3 month slowdown. This is gonna make the scenes in Italy look like holiday camp.

The Dutch seem to have been doing something similar and their numebr of infected cases and deaths is comparable to the British.

3632 cases and 136 deaths ,as of today, in the Netherlands
4072 cases and 177 deaths ,as of today , in the UK.


“The reality is that in the near future a large part of the Dutch population will be infected with the virus,” Mr Rutte said. “We can slow down the spread of the virus while building controlled group immunity.”

“It can take months or even longer to build group immunity, and during that time we need to shield people at greater risk as much as possible.”

As I pointed out some weeks ago, this is becoming a major problem in North America. This coming Monday you will have a better understanding what a major headache this virus is. In another two weeks you can start expecting more extreme measures when it comes to population movement. Only an idiot like Trump and his retarded posse cannot predict what will happen in a few weeks.

When I started criticizing orange Mussolini bitch, since he came to power, I knew something not too many of you in the USA have ever encountered before. Dictators that have no inkling of morality look like cretin Trump. They are everywhere. There is one leading my country of Serbia, right now. Trump has something that parts an ocean in the good old USA - $$$. The reason why he has it not because he is a good businessman, as a matter of fact, he's terrible at it, but because his daddy left loads of money to him.
In America there is a strange, very superficial understanding of people. As long as you have money, you're the best. It does not matter, if you swindled others out their hard earned currency, it does not matter if you are a pedophile, a rapist or like to torture others that are weaker than you. You are god.

Well, The Time of the Corona will show Craponic Shite and the crew, which belong to the above mentioned perverted low-life opportunist cowards, who the real ruler on this planet is. Soon, all these racist red-neck fuckers will get what they deserve. They don't see what's coming because they are so full of themselves. Just like those fucking, dirty, child-porn loving, so called Republican congressmen and senators who support the USA destroying Republican agenda.

Nobody can predict when Trump The Scum will cease to exist but we all know that he will cry while shitting his pants while dying because he lived a dishonest, hate-filled life and the end is near.

I learned in the first 16 years of my life that all the people that preach hate, discourse between us all, destruction and encouraging fear will be doomed to repeat this hate filled life until their karma is fulfilled, meaning, until they suffer so much, to learn the way of acceptance and empathy. Then, they can move on to the next level.

You can say that I am rambling and that I am crazy, but in the next several weeks you will see what happens to the USA. You will understand what I and the good Americans on this board meant when they had said: Don't elect an idiot to lead the country.

It's too late now. The orange coward has already severely blunted the US response to the epidemic by his irresponsible actions. The damage is going to be awesome, but we could all (normal people) see the beginnings of that when he colluded with the criminal Russian government to win the elections.

Now let's hear those extremely intelligent responses from the backward Craponic Shite crew.

Oh, and being eloquent in English does not mean you are smart, The Scott. I learned English when I was 19 years old and I can still write better than you in Serbian and English.

Evidence over hysteria — COVID-19

After watching the outbreak of COVID-19 for the past two months, I’ve followed the pace of the infection,
its severity, and how our world is tackling the virus. While we should be concerned and diligent, the situation
has dramatically elevated to a mob-like fear spreading faster than COVID-19 itself. When 13% of Americans
believe they are currently infected with COVID-19 (mathematically impossible), full-on panic is blocking our
ability to think clearly and determine how to deploy our resources to stop this virus. Over three-fourths of
Americans are scared of what we are doing to our society through law and hysteria, not of infection or spreading
COVID-19 to those most vulnerable.

There are many infected who are not tested and staying “self quarantined” as directed.

China started their strict lockdown on Jan 23. Looks like it took nearly a month for active cases to peak on Feb 17 after lockdown start. Daily new cases peaked Feb 4 about 2 weeks after lockdown.

This is how one Chinese city stopped the infected from spreading:

Because it provides context and detail.

This virus isn't the bubonic plague coming to kill 50 million people. It's the fear and CYA that's pushing the panic and reactions of shutting everything down. Eventually, we'll have to leave our homes and venture back out into the world. Some will get sick, some won't some will be hospitalized many won't. Vast majority of those infected will go home, isolate and recover.

It has to run its course. Other wise it's just a cycle of "shelter in place" followed by "all clear" followed by "shelter in place...." Until people simply stop caring and break it themselves.

People will live, people will get sick and some may even die. Another day in the life of living in this planet.

Yes , it is ovewhelmingly the old and the already very sick and weak, who are dying from COVID-19.

For comparison, according to the CDC, during the 2009 H1N1 Swine Flu most of those who died were children and young adults.


"Americas especially hard hit by 2009 swine flu, study finds

A new look at the 2009 pandemic of H1N1 swine flu finds an unusual pattern — more people died in the Americas than in the rest of the world. What’s not clear is why.
      
The study, originally started to get a final estimate of global deaths from the H1N1 virus, shows about 200,000 people died. And it confirms most of them were young adults and children — just the opposite pattern from seasonal flu, which tends to kill people 65 and older.

..……….

It sounds like a mild year, but Simonsen says it wasn’t. “These are not deaths in age groups where you are expecting them,” she said. “These are deaths of young adults and children. It is different from seasonal influenza.” H1N1 killed 282 U.S. children in 2009-2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

CDC says H1N1 infected 61 million Americans during the pandemic and killed around 12,000. H1N1 is now part of the annual seasonal flu mix."

Again, hypothetical, but worth exploring.

We are human, we panic.One person buys a bit extra to store, the next person sees them buying extra so they do it too, the church goer after who believes in sharing comes along and sees only 2 items left, so buys 1 extra for his neighbor and clears the shelf, the next person sees the empty shelf, panics and buys double what they normally buy from the next shelf etc etc.Everything has a knock on effect,which leads to more panic.Until we find a way to raise our IQs and blunt our emotions, this will always happen.The problem coming in the next month, which wont matter if we panic or not, is the hospitals and icus will all be full.Then it won't matter if you are old or young, your chances of survival from anything drastically decrease.Even if the Chinese hid it at that point, can you imagine getting the news suddenly that every hospital was turning away patients and they were dying in the street/at home?Would be way worse.

"Mr. Trump’s performance on the national stage in recent weeks has put on display the traits that Democrats and some Republicans consider so jarring — the profound need for personal praise, the propensity to blame others, the lack of human empathy, the penchant for rewriting history, the disregard for expertise, the distortion of facts, the impatience with scrutiny or criticism. For years, skeptics expressed concern about how he would handle a genuine crisis threatening the nation, and now they know."


Why is anyone surprised at how this sh*tshow is playing out?

Look no further than the CDC and FDA fucking up the testing for this.

Or Dr Fauci and the CD s performance during the beginning of the AIDS outbreak.

Maybe the CDC should stop wasting time and resources on bogus anti gun "studies" and do its job

Says who?Many estimates put it way above that if we can't contain it/find a vaccine.Look at the societal effects already, the panic, people not being able to get hold of types of food etc.When the icus and hospitals fill up with older people/people with co-morbidities, then anyone else who needs treatment for anything suffers, or just plain can't get treatment at all.Everyone focusing on the fact the young won't get hit hard so the world will be fine, really live in some kind of bubble where cause and effect doesn't exist.

Just like the same people attacking Trump for not taking this seriously enough early on were the same people saying he was overreacting and racist for his travel ban in January and that the initial task force, also in January, wasn't diverse enoug.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-lines-multi-trillion-dollar-coronavirus-aid-packages-163803368.html

Washington (AFP) - A trillion-dollar Senate proposal to rescue the reeling US economy crashed to defeat Sunday after receiving zero support from Democrats, and with five Republicans absent from the chamber because of virus-related quarantines.

Democrats said the Republican proposal failed to sufficiently protect millions of American workers during the coronavirus crisis.

The bill, which proposed up to $2 trillion in funding for American families, thousands of shuttered or suffering businesses and the nation's critically under-equipped hospitals, fell far short despite intense negotiations between Republicans, Democrats and President Donald Trump's administration.

There is not a shred of truth to anything the libidiots claim about President Trump not doing enough.

WHEN IT WAS TIME TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE DEMOCRATS POLITICIZED AND VOTED DOWN A NECESSARY AID PACKAGE THAT WILL RESULT IN THE DEATHS OF U.S. CITIZENS.

With all due respect to old people, we have to be very careful now that Medicare is covering the Corona Virus full hospital stays. We have enough numbers now to know it primarily affects the elderly, and Medicare covering things "related" to Corona Virus can include all sorts of exams, treatments, x-rays and procedures The cost will be astronomical, and they want to delay the spread to delay the costs, not because they love old people. The terror factor is to scare young healthy people that it can kill them so they won't risk getting something that will not. But they will be so scared, they stay indoors, not protecting their life, but preventing a bad flu and keeping Medicare from going bankrupt. It's always about money.

Everyone ought take a moment to really understand exponential growth.

Imagine a petri dish with a bacteria culture. This culture doubles every minute. If I tell you this bacteria will have spread to the entire dish in 60 minutes at what time will the dish be half full?

59 minutes.

The symptoms can be severe enough to demand intensive care, and where you still have half your beds one day, the next day you will be exceeding capacity.

ASSUMING everyone had perfect access to medical care, respirators, etc, yeah, maybe it could be handled.

Once hospitals are swamped however, it won't just be corona killing people.

How fatal is this disease? The vast majority that died were the elderly and those that had preexisting conditions just like the flu. Everyone that they featured on TV that tested positive seemed fine and said they felt OK. How bad can a disease be when so many that have it don't even have symptoms? I've never seen anyone with the flu that didn't have symptoms. A good friend of mine got the flu bad about three months ago. He was out for about ten days. He's fine now. His wife and kids didn't move out or isolate him. They just were careful when around him. Just like everybody is now. More so than at any time in history.

Hardly a surprise is it? ::)


"According to Prof Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, the country’s mortality rate is far higher due to demographics - the nation has the second oldest population worldwide - and the manner in which hospitals record deaths.

The age of our patients in hospitals is substantially older - the median is 67, while in China it was 46,” Prof Ricciardi says. “So essentially the age distribution of our patients is squeezed to an older age and this is substantial in increasing the lethality.”

A study in JAMA this week found that almost 40 per cent of infections and 87 per cent of deaths in the country have been in patients over 70 years old.

And according to modelling the majority of this age group are likely to need critical hospital care - including 80 per cent of 80-somethings - putting immense pressure on the health system.

But Prof Ricciardi added that Italy’s death rate may also appear high because of how doctors record fatalities.

The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.

On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says. "

Only needs to be exponential to the point of filling hospitals, ive said this for over a month.Its more like the bench press record only being 150 pounds.The plateau and decline could still be many many times more than what hospitals can handle.

I’m sure Army means well - not so sure all the doom & gloom is helping anyone or doing any good.
And I’m most certainly no math wizard so I can’t really comment on the Exponential growth business.
Though your analogy is amusing.
To me from what I’ve read & heard from various sources the Figures just don’t add up with the Doom & Gloom End of the Human Race predictions -
I’d much rather see & hear of drugs / things to help sort this out - Some much Needed Positivity
Would be Good.

You HAVE to be doom and gloom to get the point across.Putin came out today and said you either spend 14 days in isolation or spend 5 years in prison.You can't do the softly softly approach in a once in a lifetime pandemic, it just doesn't work.People are too selfish.Thats why I was doom and gloom a month go, hopefully some here listened and were able to avoid the food rush etc, avoided getting themselves infected and maybe prevented a death of them or their relatives.

Everyone here was saying well there's nothing we can do, so why talk about it, which was insane to me.The thing that will save millions of lives, our economy etc, is strict social distancing, isolation, preparing etc.The very opposite of doing nothing, and exactly what every government in the world right now is trying to drill in to the heads of the selfish assholes who believe they are above the law, above catching it, spreading it etc.

Is There a sinister ulterior motive ? And if so what the hell could it Be ?


Very simple.

China has 4 times the population of the US .It is almost an arithmetic certainly that ,in a couple of decades, its per capita nominal GDP about a half that of America's and ,consequently , it will have twice the nominal GDP of America.

China is becoming a world leader in semiconductors, mobile technology, AI, and supercomputers and seems to have mastered the metallurgy for jet engines and is building up tis own aircraft carrier fleet

It is also doing well from global warming with rising CO2 increasing crop yields in China . The permafrost In Siberia, in China's ally country ,Russia, will in few years melt .freeing up vast tracts of land for agriculture. Global warming will also melt ice in the Arctic waters and open up the Northeast/ Northwest  Passage , opening up shorter trade routes from Europe to Asia and vice versa This will also allow Chinese shipping to bypass the US Pacific Fleet and allow  Chinese warship to pass through the Bering Strait, between Russia and Canada, and converge on the northern flanks of Europe and the Americas .

America has to reset, retool, restructure its economy and industries to deal with the Chinese challenge to its hegemon status. And now I guess is as good as time as any to do it.



Elon Musk ,last month, give an idea of the sort of thinking that goes on among the top generals and industrialists, in the US.

"A thing that will feel pretty strange is that the Chinese economy is probably going to be at least twice as big as the United States' economy, maybe three times," Musk said during a fireside chat with U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. John Thompson at the Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida. with U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. John Thompson at the Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida.

"The foundation of war is economics," Musk said. "If you have half the resources of the counterparty then you better be real innovative, if you're not innovative, you're going to lose."

Interesting , if true.

"People are still testing positive for the new coronavirus in Wuhan four days after China said there have been no new cases at the epicenter of its outbreak, a local magazine reported, raising concerns that the virus could still be spreading in the city.

“There are still a few or a dozen asymptomatic people every day,” an unidentified official at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in a Monday article by Caixin, referring to those who have the virus but don’t display any symptoms. “It can’t be determined whether transmission has been completely cut off in Wuhan,” the official said.

People who have caught the virus but don’t display symptoms such as cough, fever and muscle pain have been reported in several countries as the pathogen has spread to almost all parts of the world, killing nearly 14,700 and sickening more than 340,000. These asymptomatic carriers appear to be able to transmit the virus to others, according to experts, complicating efforts to stop its spread.

Unlike other countries like South Korea, which counts everyone who’s tested positive as a confirmed case, China does not include asymptomatic infections in its official count. It also does not disclose the number of people in this category, raising concerns that its much-publicized drop to zero new cases last week cannot be taken at face value."

Whistleblowers and residents in Wuhan say China is lying about lack of new cases of coronavirus.

---------------------------------------

Quote
Most of us greeted the news from China that there were no new cases in Wuhan with a grain of salt. It turns out that our suspicious skepticism was warranted. From Yahoo News:

Even before COVID-19 became a global crisis, Chinese leaders had been criticized for their handling of the situation and lack of transparency about the disease’s progression. Things now look like they’re on the upswing, and businesses even appear to be headed back to work — but whistleblowers and local officials tell Caixan that’s just a carefully crafted ruse.

Beijing has spent much of the outbreak pushing districts to carry on business as usual, with some local governments subsidizing electricity costs and even installing mandatory productivity quotas. Zhejiang, a province east of the epicenter city of Wuhan, claimed as of Feb. 24 it had restored 98.6 percent of its pre-coronavirus work capacity.

But civil servants tell Caixan that businesses are actually faking these numbers. Beijing had started checking Zhejiang businesses’ electricity consumption levels, so district officials ordered the companies to start leaving their lights and machinery on all day to drive the numbers up, one civil servant said. Businesses have reportedly falsified staff attendance logs as well — they “would rather waste a small amount of money on power than irritate local officials,” Caixan writes.

Exactly. Personal hygiene and being aware of your surroundings and other people and taking the appropriate precautions, restricting foreign travel and borders... People are more aware than ever before in history the importance of hygiene and being aware of what you touch and where you touch. We are much safer from all communicable diseases than ever before. Shutting down the country and ruining the economy and people's ability to make a living will do far more harm than good. More lives will be ruined and lost than this virus will do.

I don't know anybody that has this virus and nobody I know knows anybody that has this virus either. Those that I see on the news with the virus either show no symptoms or are far from dying. Virtually everybody I know has lost their job or have it severely impacted their employment. My sister who is a flight attendant had her hours cut by 40% (she's been a flight attendant for 30 years).

Not going to read all 80 pages here to see if it has been posted already, but this is a graphical representation of Farr's law . The total number of cases is the same (area under the curve), barring a sudden cure. Every disease known to man does this. The "flattening" of the curve just, in theory, slows down admissions to the hospital. But since we really don't know how severe the disease actually is, this is just a guess. Maybe most people normally wouldn't go to the hospital because the symptoms are not as bad as the scaremongers have you believe.

The panic and hysteria  is far worse than the actual virus. We can thank certain politicians for that for that and their accomplices in the media. The collapse of the US economy will lead to far more damage. But we all knew that.

I had a chat with one yesterday and asked what he was really seeing.

He said it's a mess. They get 8,000 people in but only 40 test positive. He said the killer is having to treat all 8,000 as if they are positive. On top of that, these same people coming in are stealing all their supplies and they have run out.

8,000 rock up with symptoms but only 40 give a positive?  How accurate are these tests?

Does one conclude the most contageous virus ever is not very contageous whilst at the same time less contageous viruses are rampant?  

Or is it more sensible to conclude the virus is already everywhere but the tests are extremely narrow in it's ability to confirm a positive?

Makes sense, the media has everyone believing that the gas bubble in their gut from drinking to much the night before is a symptom of corona and they should get tested.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Swedes stick with their herd immunity strategy.
A few years down the line we might see how effective or not it was compared to complete lockdown.


"Swedish PM warned over 'Russian roulette-style' Covid-19 strategy


Health experts say attempt to build herd immunity is a ‘mad experiment with 10m people’

Unlike most EU countries, however – including its Nordic neighbours Denmark, Norway and Finland – it has not introduced stricter suppression and social distancing orders such as closing bars, restaurants non-essential shops and lower schools, nor has it placed citizens in near-total lockdown, as in Italy, Spain and France.

Sweden’s chief epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, has denied the country’s approach is to rapidly build group immunity to the virus, a tactic seemingly pursued in Britain and the Netherlands until both recently changed tack after warnings that their health systems could be overwhelmed and death tolls would soar.


But Tegnell conceded to the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper last week that such an objective was “not contradictory” with what he described as the government’s core strategy, which was to ensure “a slow spread of infection, and that the health services have a reasonable workload”.


On Sunday night, Tegnell told Swedish TV the outbreak would “calm down” in May but return in the autumn. “It will be important how much of the population is infected,” he said. “It will determine what happens in the autumn.” Coronavirus could be stopped either by “herd immunity, or a combination of immunity and vaccination”, he said. “It’s basically the same thing.” "

Army, outside of the pregnant woman, wouldnt everyone you described die anyway, based on what we know about how this virus attacks the weak and that 80% of theo worlds population is going to be infected  unless there is an approved cure?

No as respirators and intensive care do saves lives, you do the big peak and many more die as the huge influx means they can't get support care through the illness. This is the thinking and reason to "flatten the curve"..

8003 new cases and 114 new deaths in the US

Peak number of cases is still 2 to 3 weeks away in New York

"The numbers are higher in New York because it started here first, it has a lot of international travelers and has high density, but you will see this in cities all across the country, and in suburban communities. Where we are today, you'll be in 4 weeks or 6 weeks.

Its not killing anyone who wasn't almost dead anyway, nature has been doing it since the beginning of time, it will send more fit and able people bankrupt than it will kill. The old and vulnerable should have been quarantined along with those that care for them. This virus is being used as an attack on capitalism not to dissimilar to climate change, yes people are dying, we all are, and 15% of people over 70 or 80 isn't that bad a number, your talking 15% of who get it, not 15% of that population, plenty of good people never got that far due to heart disease cancer, accidents, murder crime etc.  World needs to get a grip, this is becoming an economic crisis over a health one, its not the plague, its not killing young people or any taxpayers in the work place, its killing old sick people, don't abandon them quarantine them, but ruining the global economy for people whom were lucky enough to live to a ripe old age with only a few years to go is just madness.

a new federal health report says Americans of all ages have faced serious health complications amid the outbreak. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that among the roughly 12% of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. known to need hospitalizations, about 1 in 5 were among people ages 20 to 44. Anywhere from 14% to 21% of adults ages 20 to 44 with COVID-19 have been hospitalized, the CDC data estimates. Two to 4% of cases led to ICU admissions, and less than 1% were fatal.

But do hospitalizations really matter that much? That could mena a person checked into a hospital got some drugs and left. I mean the main concern was overrunning the ICU.  It's still around 2-3% of Covid-19 positive people aged 20-44 are admitted to ICU and 0% of 0-19 year olds.  That's probably around 1% for 0-44 year old people total.  That's really nothing to be alarmed about IMO.  It's still the old people who have vastly higher ICU rates that we need to worry about.

The first coronavirus cases in Taiwan and Italy came only 10 days apart. On Sunday Taiwan, which has deep cultural and economic ties to China, has recorded just 153 cases and two deaths. Italy has more than 47,000 cases and 4,032 people have died.

Leaders are now taking measures that would have been unthinkable weeks or even days ago, locking down tens of millions of people from Berlin to Madrid and San Francisco and pouring billions into rescue plans. But had they acted a few weeks earlier, they could perhaps have avoided much of the human tragedy and economic catastrophe they now face.”

States reject Trump's talk of restarting US economy early

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/states-reject-trumps-talk-of-restarting-us-economy-early/ar-BB11D2Te


Adults don't take directions from children............even if their daddy gave them millions of $

A week after millions of Americans began taking shelter at home from the coronavirus, states warned on Tuesday against easing restrictions too soon even though the clampdown is devastating the U.S. economy.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo/© REUTERS / Brendan McDermid
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo/

President Donald Trump said on Monday he was considering how to restart business life when a 15-day shutdown ends next week, even as the highly contagious virus spreads rapidly and poorly equipped hospitals struggle with a wave of deadly cases.


A Republican, Trump is seeking to win re-election in November on a promise of economic growth.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat whose state of New York has become the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak with 25,665 cases, strongly opposed allowing people to travel, socialize and get back to workplaces too quickly.

"If you ask the American people to choose between public health and the economy, then it's no contest. No American is going to say accelerate the economy at the cost of human life," he said at a convention center in Manhattan that is being repurposed to fit beds for coronavirus patients.

Cuomo said the projected need for hospital beds in New York at the peak of the outbreak has jumped to 140,000, compared with the 53,000 that are available and that the apex of the outbreak could still be 14-21 days away

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, told CNN on Tuesday: "We don't think that we're going to be in any way ready to be out of this in five or six days or so, or whenever this 15 days is up from the time that they started this imaginary clock."

More than 42,000 people in the United States have contracted COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus, and at least 620 have died. The World Health Organization on Tuesday warned that the United States has the potential to become the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, citing a "very large acceleration" in infections.

Senior Pentagon leaders said on Tuesday that the outbreak could continue for months.

Trump issued guidelines last week that he said aimed to slow the spread of the disease over 15 days, including curbing unnecessary travel. Economic activity has ground to a halt in major states such as New York and California.

The coronavirus has shuttered thousands of U.S. businesses, thrown millions out of work and led state governors to order about 100 million people - nearly a third of the nation's population - to stay at home.

There were signs that nerves had begun fraying after days of people working from home, looking after children whose schools are shut and severely scaling back on everyday activities.

Steve Rubinstein, a small bottle of hand sanitizer dangling from his belt loop, was juggling his two small children as they played in a New York park. Both he and his wife are working from home.

"It's very challenging, my wife and I both work, we have fulltime jobs," he said. "But it's, yeah, it's nonstop, it's relentless," Rubinstein, 35, added about balancing work demands and keeping their children safe and entertained.

Trump told a White House news conference on Monday that "America will again and soon be open for business," saying the crisis should not "turn into a long-lasting financial problem."

Rapidly reopening the economy might backfire, with higher deaths and people remaining fearful of going out, according to investors who remain anxious about the coronavirus’ uncertain trajectory and its economic toll.

“Markets will react badly because they have learned that this approach doesn’t work,” Axel Merk, chief investment officer of Merk Investments, said. “From a medical point of view, you have to break the exponential growth and you do that with shelter in place policies.”

WALL STREET JUMPS

After taking a beating for most days in recent weeks, Wall Street bounced from three-year lows on Tuesday amid signs that Washington was nearing a deal on a $2 trillion package to rescue the economy from coronavirus. All three main U.S. stock indexes jumped more than 5%.

Negotiators predicted the U.S. Senate could pass the stimulus bill, which includes financial aid for ordinary Americans, small businesses and critically affected industries, as soon as Tuesday.

After criticism from Cuomo and others that Trump was not wielding special powers to force businesses to make medical equipment likes masks and ventilators, the federal government said on Tuesday it would use the Defense Production Act to procure 60,000 coronavirus test kits.

Peter Gaynor, the Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator, told CNN the Trump administration had decided to use the act because "there are some test kits we need to get our hands on." It would be the first time the act is being used for the coronavirus crisis.

For right now, Birx said people in the United States should continue to follow the guidelines of social distancing.

"What the president is doing is looking for the future ... not looking to change what we're doing now," she said.

Stephen Moore, an economic commentator said by Trump's aides to be influencing the president, told Reuters on Monday there was a re-examination in the White House of the wisdom of “a full scale … shutdown of the economy.”

He said there were some who thought that “if we go on too long with the economy shut down, the human toll for that could be greater than the risk of the virus."

Despite the huge changes to daily life, many Americans still say they are willing to make sacrifices.

Christine Schindler, 58, a former receptionist, was alone waiting for a bus on Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Tuesday. She said she thought it was dangerous to lift the restrictions too early for the sake of the economy.

“It’s going to come back up anyway, really, once things hit the bottom,” she said. “This is supposed to be the number one economy in the world.”

There was once a king in India who was a big chess enthusiast and had the habit of challenging wise visitors to a game of chess. One day a traveling sage was challenged by the king. The sage having played this game all his life all the time with people all over the world gladly accepted the Kings challenge. To motivate his opponent the king offered any reward that the sage could name. The sage modestly asked just for a few grains of rice in the following manner: the king was to put a single grain of rice on the first chess square and double it on every consequent one. The king accepted the sage’s request.

Having lost the game and being a man of his word the king ordered a bag of rice to be brought to the chess board. Then he started placing rice grains according to the arrangement: 1 grain on the first square, 2 on the second, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth and so on.

Following the exponential growth of the rice payment, the king quickly realized that he was unable to fulfill his promise because on the twentieth square the king would have had to put 1,000,000 grains of rice. On the fortieth square, the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice. And, finally, on the sixty-fourth square, the king would have had to put more than 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of rice which is equal to about 210 billion tons and is allegedly sufficient to cover the whole territory of India with a meter thick layer of rice.

It was at that point that the sage told the king that he doesn’t have to pay the debt immediately but can do so over time. And so the sage became the wealthiest person in the world.

Exponential growth ladies and gentlemen.

https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2020/03/24/sailors-on-board-carrier-theodore-roosevelt-test-positive-for-covid-19/

Three sailors aboard the carrier Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for COVID-19, the Navy announced
Tuesday, the first cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus on a ship underway.

In a press conference with Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly and Chief of Naval Operations Adm.
Michael Gilday, Modly announced the three cases, adding that the service was working on evacuating the
sailors as soon as possible.

The spread of COVID-19 on an underway warship raises the frightening prospect of a new cluster of cases
among 5,000-plus deployed sailors, and marks a new chapter in the Navy’s fight to contain the spread within
its ranks. The service has documented nearly 90 cases to date, Modly said.

The Roosevelt was last in port in Da Nang, Vietnam, 15 days ago, Gilday said. The decision to go forward with
the port visit in early March was made when Vietnam had only 16 total cases, all isolated in the northern city
of Hanoi, he said.

It is unknown yet how the sailors may have contracted the illness, noting that aircraft land on the ship regularly
from outside the command, Gilday said, but that the Navy is trying to trace the sailors’ movements and isolate
sailors they’ve been in contact with.

This sounds like an April fool's joke! 6 months?! I don't see that ever lasting - the public will revolt. It will have a huge impact on the economy and the health of many people who rely on the gym for cardiovascular health, mobility etc. They can instead develop a fast method to test for the coronavirus and screen everyone entering the gym. And make it mandatory to wipe down equipment with cleaners that will kill the virus.

It's a model. You need to assume the value of p (percentage of infected needing critical medical assistance)

They went with what looks like unrealistic percentages in their paper. 1% and 0.1% which gave headline grabbing outcomes/borderline fake news, but their model also mirrored the actual death rate data when p was 10% and 3%

You can't say it's flawed unless you know the actual value of p and are able to run the model against the actual figures of a country which didn't take any measures to slow down the virus

Most on the ground and most who deal with what stats we know, when the virus started showing hospitalisations, incubation, proportion shown to be infected to not when testing etc, believe it's flawed.Marbles in a jar, wisdom of the crowd etc.Dont get me wrong I'd love for it to be true, I'd happily take shit on here for being wrong if this would all be over soon as most have become immune.But nothing points to that.

There is no true or false with the actual paper. It's just a model. They even make a point in the paper that they didn't use plausible values for p when talking about herd immunity.

It's an interesting paper, but it's been presented at the wrong time and publicized in a horrible way. I wouldn't write off the model completely though. The middle ground between the Oxford and Imperial papers are likely where the reality is.

So the US is 10 days into their 15 days to slow the spread.

665,424 infected - will pass both Italy and China before those 15 days are over.
+10,568 new cases - that's in ONE day.
1,411 in serious, critical condition.
928 total deaths.
+148 new deaths in ONE day.

And around 1/10th cases per million population of Switzerland and Italy.

This isn't aimed at you but i feel bad for Americans being made out like they are the problem in the world now (i am not in the US but this is how you are being portrayed now).

A number is meaningless without context.

US added 10k cases overnight on a population of 330M.

Look at all the european countries between 3% and 10% the size of the US and they are adding 3k- 7k per day.

Europe is spiralling and they are all getting sick at a much, much faster rate than the US. That should still be the main headline.

I don't think the US is the problem of the world, but from what I understand they're behind some of those european countries, i.e. the worst is still to come.

Also some of those european countries are pretty big.

Italy is 60 million, Spain 47 million, Germany 83 million, France 67 million.

I think the response should go by a State by State basis. Some States are hit much harder than others like New York and California. In Hawaii, we have 95 confirmed cases with the vast majority of 68 being on the main island, Oahu, where I live. We have zero deaths reported due to the coronavirus. There was one death reported but upon closer examination, this was found to be false. Still, we've shut down all businesses, malls, events, restaurants and fast-food drive-ins, schools, churches and places of worship, a curfew from 9 pm to 5 am, those violating the curfew can be fine up to $5,000 and a year in jail.

I think that temporarily closing our borders and the personal precautions people are already taking should be enough without having to shut down the whole State. There is already widespread testing and it's increased to six cases over the last couple of days.

Maybe another week or so to see if the amount goes up dramatically but with 68 cases in the most crowded and populated island of nearly a million people, it doesn't seem worth the cost to the livelihood of so many people. Again, I know of nobody, and know nobody that knows anybody, that has the virus, but everyone knows, including themselves, that are now without jobs and a way to support their families.

As I mentioned in my previous post, we are already doing widespread testing. If you have any symptoms at all and a temperature you can drive up and be tested at a Walgreens.

New York is so densely populated with people from all over the world coming and going. Also, it seems in those densely populated areas it is very dirty and unsanitary.

Trump accuses media of wanting to keep economy shut to hurt his reelection


Donald Trump has accused the media of wanting to keep the US economy shuttered during the coronavirus pandemic to undermine his chances of reelection.

The US president has been pushing to reopen swaths of the country by Easter – 12 April – despite warnings from medical experts that measures such as closing businesses and social distancing need more time to work.

“The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success,” he tweeted on Wednesday. “The real people want to get back to work ASAP. ”

Related: US Christian leaders criticise Trump's Easter coronavirus deadline

At Wednesday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing, Trump followed up with an aggressive denial that the Easter timeline is based on his political interests. “The media would like to see me do poorly in the election,” he said.

Challenged by a reporter, Trump, who has long used the press as a punching bag, said with exasperation: “Just so you understand – are you ready? – I think there are certain people that would like it not to open so quickly. I think there are certain people that would like it to do financially poorly because they think that would be very good as far as defeating me at the polls.”

The president added: “I don’t know if that’s so, but I do think it’s so that there are people in your profession that would like that to happen. I think it’s very clear that there are people in your profession that write fake news.”

Gesturing around the briefing room with his hands, he said: “You do. She does. There are people in your profession that write fake news. They would love to see me – for whatever reason, because we’ve done one hell of a job, nobody’s done the job that we’ve done – and it’s lucky that you have this group here right now for this problem because you wouldn’t even have a country left.”

Trump has long tied his political fortunes to the economy in general and stock market in particular, but the coronavirus outbreak has wiped out the stock gains of his presidency. On Wednesday he reiterated his call for restarting the economy at Easter, even though US infections have now topped 60,000 and scientists have warned of disastrous consequences for public health.

“It’s time,” he said. “People want to get back to work. I want to get our country back.”

But he sought to provide reassurance that he would heed the advice of public health officials. “I’m not going to do anything rash or hastily, I don’t do that.”

People who return to work could still take precautions, Trump claimed. “They’re not going to walk around hugging and kissing each other in the office when they come back. Even though they may feel like it.”

The deadline goal drew criticism from Democratic front runner Joe Biden, the president’s likely opponent in the November election. “Now he’s suggesting he wants to get the country opened – back open by Easter,” Biden told reporters at a virtual press conference. “Look, we all want to get back to normal as quickly as possible, but we have a lot to do to make that possible. We have to do it in a smart way – not on some arbitrary or symbolic timeline.”

The former vice president, speaking via video link from his basement, added: “It would be a catastrophic thing to do for our people and for our economy if we sent people back to work just as we were beginning to see the impact of social distancing take hold only to unleash a second spike in infections.”

Biden’s Democratic primary with Senator Bernie Sanders has been paralysed by the crisis, denying both men political oxygen, and the long term political implications remain unpredictable. Opinion polls suggest a majority of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis, despite his early downplaying of the threat.

At Wednesday’s briefing, Trump also urged Congress to pass a historic $2tn stimulus bill negotiated by his administration and Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate. “I will sign it immediately,” he said, adding that it would mark a “great day for the American worker and American families”.

The bill, delayed by bitter partisan battles, includes funding to send $1,200 cheques to many Americans, $500bn to help distressed companies, including $25bn for airlines, and $367bn in loans to sustain small businesses.

Steven Mnuchin, the treasury secretary, thanked Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell minority leader Chuck Schumer for their efforts. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the unprecedented response from the Senate to protect American workers and American businesses,” he told reporters.

“Our expectation is this bill passes tonight and gets to the House tomorrow. And they pass it. We need to get this money into the American economy and American workers.”

Meanwhile Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned that the coronavirus could be seasonal and cyclical. “I know we’ll be successful in putting this down now,” he said. “But we really need to be prepared for another cycle.”

Trump also offered some bizarre digressions, boasting about his efforts to make Nato allies pay more, touting his “big, beautiful wall” and defending the package’s $25m funding for the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

“This was a request from the Democrats because of the fact that they have a facility that’s essentially closed up,” he said. “If I wanted to go there tonight to look at Romeo and Juliet, I’d love to go see Romero and Juliet...”

Cuomo said today that it is already leveling off in New York.

Hospital visits have dropped two days in a row.

Quote
Hospitalizations were doubling every two days as of Sunday, but by Monday the trend showed hospitalizations were doubling every 3.4 days, and by Tuesday the rate was 4.7 days, Cuomo said.

“Now that is almost too good to be true... This is a very good sign and a positive sign, again not 100% sure it holds, or it’s accurate but the arrows are headed in the right direction,” Cuomo told a daily news conference.

every threat was a "global arguement".  all Muslims are terrorist and are destroying and bombing US, UK, Asia etc,  refugee Somalians are getting accepted every where to kill and rape women globally,  Every blacks are going to shoot and murder every police officer.  Mexicans are all MS13 and want to kill and decapitate the US and globally, chinks are trying to take over, and they allied with russia.  koreans are going to nuke the US and the world. according to media propaganda.  You got to admit, at one time, some form of news did talk about all those topics i mentioned lol

Fake news. Coronavirus is killing more per day than the flu and the numbers are growing exponentially (that means they are multiplying).

The world has shut down. Death is coming.

Fake news said this was a fake flu  ;D ;D

Yes fake news is always reporting fake information. The doctor originally predicted 500k deaths and now he may have over estimated by 400%?  He fed into the panic. Either he was misquoted or he’s over reactionary.

The media's idea of what is a global situation and what isn't, differs from mine. To me it means that it poses a threat to everyone and excluding no one, regardless of whether they are Muslim, Somalian, African American, Latino, Asian, Russian, Korean. Rapist are not limited by any of the aforementioned people. Anyone can be a rapists, even women.

Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook
By Dan Diamond and Nahal Toosi
PoliticoMarch 25, 2020, 8:00 PM EDT
The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.

“Is there sufficient personal protective equipment for healthcare workers who are providing medical care?” the playbook instructs its readers, as one early decision that officials should address when facing a potential pandemic. “If YES: What are the triggers to signal exhaustion of supplies? Are additional supplies available? If NO: Should the Strategic National Stockpile release PPE to states?”

The strategies are among hundreds of tactics and key policy decisions laid out in a 69-page National Security Council playbook on fighting pandemics, which POLITICO is detailing for the first time. Other recommendations include that the government move swiftly to fully detect potential outbreaks, secure supplemental funding and consider invoking the Defense Production Act — all steps in which the Trump administration lagged behind the timeline laid out in the playbook.

“Each section of this playbook includes specific questions that should be asked and decisions that should be made at multiple levels” within the national security apparatus, the playbook urges, repeatedly advising officials to question the numbers on viral spread, ensure appropriate diagnostic capacity and check on the U.S. stockpile of emergency resources.

The playbook also stresses the significant responsibility facing the White House to contain risks of potential pandemics, a stark contrast with the Trump administration’s delays in deploying an all-of-government response and President Donald Trump's recent signals that he might roll back public health recommendations.

“The U.S. government will use all powers at its disposal to prevent, slow or mitigate the spread of an emerging infectious disease threat,” according to the playbook’s built-in “assumptions” about fighting future threats. “The American public will look to the U.S. government for action when multi-state or other significant events occur.”

The guide further calls for a “unified message” on the federal response, in order to best manage the American public's questions and concerns. “Early coordination of risk communications through a single federal spokesperson is critical,” the playbook urges. However, the U.S. response to coronavirus has featured a rotating cast of spokespeople and conflicting messages; Trump already is discussing loosening government recommendations on coronavirus in order to “open” the economy by Easter, despite the objections of public health advisers.

The NSC devised the guide — officially called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents, but known colloquially as “the pandemic playbook” — across 2016. The project was driven by career civil servants as well as political appointees, aware that global leaders had initially fumbled their response to the 2014-2015 spread of Ebola and wanting to be sure that the next response to an epidemic was better handled.

The Trump administration was briefed on the playbook’s existence in 2017, said four former officials, but two cautioned that it never went through a full, National Security Council-led interagency process to be approved as Trump administration strategy. Tom Bossert, who was then Trump’s homeland security adviser, expressed enthusiasm about its potential as part of the administration’s broader strategy to fight pandemics, two former officials said.

Bossert declined to comment on any particular document, but told POLITICO that “I engaged actively with my outgoing counterpart and took seriously their transition materials and recommendations on pandemic preparedness.”

The playbook was designed “so there wasn’t piecemeal thinking when trying to fight the next public health battle,” said one former official who contributed to the playbook, warning that “the fog of war” can lead to gaps in strategies.

“These are recommended discussions to be having on all levels, to ensure that there’s a structure to make decisions in real-time,” said a second former official.

An NSC official confirmed the existence of the playbook but dismissed its value. “We are aware of the document, although it’s quite dated and has been superseded by strategic and operational biodefense policies published since,” the official said. “The plan we are executing now is a better fit, more detailed, and applies the relevant lessons learned from the playbook and the most recent Ebola epidemic in the [Democratic Republic of the Congo] to COVID-19.”

A health department spokesperson also said that the NSC playbook was not part of the current coronavirus strategy. “The HHS COVID-19 response was informed by more recent plans such as the foundation of the National Biodefense Strategy (2018), Biological Incident Annex (2017),and panCAP (2018) among other key plans provided by the CDC, White House Task Force, FEMA, and other key federal departments and agencies,” the spokesperson said.

Trump has claimed that his administration could not have foreseen the coronavirus pandemic, which has spread to all 50 states and more than 180 nations, sickening more than 460,000 people around the world. “Nobody ever expected a thing like this,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday.

But Trump’s aides were told to expect a potential pandemic, ranging from a tabletop exercise that the outgoing Obama administration prepared for the president’s incoming aides to a “Crimson Contagion” scenario that health officials undertook just last year and modeled out potential risks of a global infectious disease threat. Trump’s deputies also have said that their coronavirus response relies on a federal playbook, specifically referring to a strategy laid out by the Centers for Disease Control.

It is not clear if the administration’s failure to follow the NSC playbook was the result of an oversight or a deliberate decision to follow a different course.

The document rested with NSC officials who dealt with medical preparedness and biodefense in the global health security directorate, which the Trump administration disbanded in 2018, four former officials said. The document was originally overseen by Beth Cameron, a former civil servant who led the directorate before leaving the White House in March 2017. Cameron confirmed to POLITICO that the directorate created a playbook for NSC staff intended to help officials confront a range of potential biological threats.

But under the Trump administration, “it just sat as a document that people worked on that was thrown onto a shelf,” said one former U.S. official, who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations. “It’s hard to tell how much senior leaders at agencies were even aware that this existed” or thought it was just another layer of unnecessary bureaucracy.

The NSC playbook would have been especially useful in helping to drive the administration’s response to coronavirus, given that it was intended to guide urgent decisions and coordinate the all-of-government approach that Trump so far has struggled to muster, said people familiar with the document.

The color-coded playbook contains different sections based on the relative risk — green for normal operations, yellow for elevated threat, orange for credible threat and red once a public health emergency is declared — and details the potential roles of dozens of departments and agencies, from key players like the Health and Human Services department to the Department of Transportation and the FBI. It also includes sample documents intended to be used at coordinating meetings.

“While each emerging infectious disease threat will present itself in a unique way, a consistent, capabilities-based approach to addressing these threats will allow for faster decisions with more targeted expert subject matter input from federal departments and agencies,” the playbook reads.

The playbook lays out different strategies for policymakers based on the severity of the crisis and shares lessons gleaned from past outbreaks. For instance, one section is devoted to addressing 34 “key questions” and 21 “key decisions” as soon as there is a “credible threat” — which in the case of coronavirus would have been early-to-mid January, as it raged in China and as the first U.S. case was detected on Jan. 20 — and calls on officials to move quickly.

“We recommend early budget and financial analysis of various response scenarios and an early decision to request supplemental funding from Congress, if needed,” the guide urges. But the Trump administration waited more than a month to ask for emergency funding after the timeline laid out in the playbook.

The playbook also repeatedly urges officials to question official numbers about the viral spread. “What is our level of confidence on the case detection rate?” reads one question. “Is diagnostic capacity keeping up?” But across January and much of February, Trump administration officials publicly insisted that their diagnostic efforts were sufficient to detect coronavirus. Officials now privately concede that the administration’s well-documented testing problems have contributed to the outbreak’s silent spread across the United States, and health experts say that diagnostic capacity is only now in late March catching up to the need.

In a subsequent section, the playbook details steps to take if there’s evidence that the virus is spreading among humans, which the World Health Organization concluded by Jan. 22, or the U.S. government declared a public health emergency, which HHS Secretary Alex Azar did on Jan. 31.

Under that timeline, the federal government by late January should have been taking a lead role in “coordination of workforce protection activities including… [personal protective equipment] determination, procurement and deployment.” Those efforts are only now getting underway, health workers and doctors say.

The numbers they are giving us now are underestimated. The current numbers reflect virus tests done days ago on people who have already gone through the incubation phase and started showing symptoms requiring them to seek medical attention. That's why in China when they went into very strict lockdown at only 1000 infected, the numbers still reached 80,000. So many people were already infected but didn't realize it yet because they were in the asymptomatic incubation phase. Then some infected Chinese went overseas and now there's 532,150 officially infected worldwide.

One model is showing that right now in the USA there are around 20,000,000 infected assuming no social distancing. Most of them are very recently infected but still in the asymptomatic incubation phase (exponential function). A lot of the rest have mild symptoms that don't require hospitalization or testing yet. I don't know if I believe these numbers but there you go.

I'll put it another way. There are 85,594 confirmed cases in the USA.

They are made up of:

1. People who went through the 1 to 14 day asymptomatic incubation phase.
2. Started having symptoms that caused them to go see a doctor.
3. The doctor performed a virus test on them.
4. Some days later the test results are in, showing a positive result.
5. Positive result is reported to the media.

So there is up to a maybe 10-20 days or more time delay from first acquiring the virus until reporting a positive result to the media.
So that means that there were 85,594 first infected 10 to 20 or more days ago and the actual number as of today is exponentially bigger.

One artuarial i followed on twitter said his modelling was 500 to every 1 confirmed.

Based it in 3 weeks from infected to diagnosed during which they were infecting the community and in turn those infect more. He said his model was showing a 0.5% mortality at a time others were quoting 4%.

85,000 cases x 500 = 42,500,000 million infected

Something fishy!!!!! Please read it carefully

WELL PLAYED CHINA....

SCENE 1 : The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a "crisis" and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.

SCENE II. The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.

SCENE III. The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.

SCENE IV. The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.

SCENE V. The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?

SCENE VI: Checkmate!

Amazing but true

Two videos have passed between yesterday and today that convinced me of something I suspected, but had no basis. It was just my speculation. Now I am convinced that the coronavirus was purposely propagated by the Chinese themselves.
At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks. Awesome.
Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all.
And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies,
Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?
None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.
Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |

Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan.
An instrument that has seen the most rally

One ☝ prospective & Analogy....

How come Russia & North Korea are totally free of Covid- 19? Because they are staunch ally of China. Not a single case reported from these two countries.

On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit.

How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?

China will say that their drastic initial measures they took was very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. Why Beijing was not hit? Why only Wuhan? Kind of interesting to ponder upon.. right? Well ..Wuhan is open for business now. America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially. Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China. China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world. So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this. . to topple Trump. Lately President Trump was always telling of how GREAT American economy was improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump thru impeachment. ....so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was a showcase. At the peak of the virus epidemic. ..China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas. As President he should be covered from head to toe.....but it was not the case. He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released. Some may ask....Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015...so the chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is. ..YES...Bill Gates did predict. .but that prediction is based on a genuine virus outbreak. Now China is also telling that the virus was predicted well in advance. ....so that its agenda would play along well to match that prediction. China,s vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus. Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master...CHINA.Now here is an interesting conspiracy theory if you want:

Now, look at this:

🇨🇳 (China) + 0,3%

China, creator of the pandemic, has miraculously "recovered", has almost no more cases of coronavirus. The world is now beginning to feel the effects and panic about the disease. Who recovered first ?? China itself! It seems to be that this virus was a move by the Chinese government in response to the loss of the trade war with the United States. The goal: to throw the world into recession !!!

Is the scenario not clear? They are already growing! China bought almost everything it devalued on the stock exchanges around the world ... with that the Chinese became owners of the global companies that are in China and without the money leaving China.

Something fishy!!!!! Please read it carefully

WELL PLAYED CHINA....

SCENE 1 : The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a "crisis" and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.

SCENE II. The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.

SCENE III. The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.

SCENE IV. The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.

SCENE V. The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?

SCENE VI: Checkmate!

Amazing but true

Two videos have passed between yesterday and today that convinced me of something I suspected, but had no basis. It was just my speculation. Now I am convinced that the coronavirus was purposely propagated by the Chinese themselves.
At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks. Awesome.
Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all.
And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies,
Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?
None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.
Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |

Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan.
An instrument that has seen the most rally

One ☝ prospective & Analogy....

How come Russia & North Korea are totally free of Covid- 19? Because they are staunch ally of China. Not a single case reported from these two countries.

On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit.

How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?

China will say that their drastic initial measures they took was very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. Why Beijing was not hit? Why only Wuhan? Kind of interesting to ponder upon.. right? Well ..Wuhan is open for business now. America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially. Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China. China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world. So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this. . to topple Trump. Lately President Trump was always telling of how GREAT American economy was improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump thru impeachment. ....so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was a showcase. At the peak of the virus epidemic. ..China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas. As President he should be covered from head to toe.....but it was not the case. He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released. Some may ask....Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015...so the chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is. ..YES...Bill Gates did predict. .but that prediction is based on a genuine virus outbreak. Now China is also telling that the virus was predicted well in advance. ....so that its agenda would play along well to match that prediction. China,s vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus. Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master...CHINA.Now here is an interesting conspiracy theory if you want:
Impact of coronavirus on stock exchanges worldwide, within 1 month:

🇺🇸 -26%
🇬🇧 -26%
🇨🇦 -25%
🇧🇷 -27%
🇷🇺 -20%
🇦🇪 -19%
🇿🇦 -16%
🇦🇺 -24%
🇮🇳 -14%
🇸🇬 -17%
🇭🇰 -12%
🇰🇷 - 17%

Now, look at this:

🇨🇳 (China) + 0,3%

China, creator of the pandemic, has miraculously "recovered", has almost no more cases of coronavirus. The world is now beginning to feel the effects and panic about the disease. Who recovered first ?? China itself! It seems to be that this virus was a move by the Chinese government in response to the loss of the trade war with the United States. The goal: to throw the world into recession !!!

Is the scenario not clear? They are already growing! China bought almost everything it devalued on the stock exchanges around the world ... with that the Chinese became owners of the global companies that are in China and without the money leaving China.

Either way, I think there will be a severe economic backlash on China.

I doubt the current American administration are going to be naive about this and will be monitoring any large-scale purchases of shares etc.

Flu kills ~300-600k globally in a span of 3 months. Your statistic divides it over 12 months. So it is 3000-6000 deaths per day during flu season WITH vaccines.

Before this started astute people said it would be like the flu and it seems to be about right with the chinese virus having peaked in many places and seems to be approaching its peak in the UK and USA. Expect politicians and the media to be very quiet about the flu death tally this year.

Cold, dry climates? Washington state where COVID-19 first hit the U.S. may be cool, but it certainly isn't dry. Same is true for New York, which is where cases grew at the fastest rate. Nowhere in Germany is it dry, just cold. Maybe you meant the virus likes cold, wet climates.

I never referenced it to Covid 19. I referenced it to traditional flu.And flu flourishes best in cold and dry climates.

Okay. But, why wouldn't the same hold true for the COVID-19 which is also a virus? And, it seems the flu likes more than one type of climate.

Study: Flu likes weather cold and dry or humid and rainy
http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2013/03/study-flu-likes-weather-cold-and-dry-or-humid-and-rainy


Any climate that drives people indoors is likely to be partly responsible for an increase in people becoming sick with the flu or a cold.

Northern Italians in general have far better lives and financial security than the majority of Americans. Also far far better general healthcare.

I saw some folks that turned out to be Northern Italians.  The men and women were all well over 6 feet with blonde or light brown hair and blue eyes.   I asked them about that and they said, WWII and the Germans...Not kidding here, they said that.  They were very proud of Italy but not ashamed of their lineage at all.

I appreciate you being polite.

Okay so I followed your advice and Googled the statement you made about Spain turning off old folks' respirators. Unfortunately, this was to no avail. However, it does seem reasonable if by healthier you mean not healthy enough to go without a respirator and other medical services. Otherwise, why would you need to make way for these younger and healthier patients?

Defeatist attitudes have never been our strong suit. We neutered the Nazis and put a man on the moon.

One of my associates is a “foreigner”, he stated “whatever is meant to be will happen”, I kindly reminded him that is the reason his people have gotten ran over time and time again.

The European lifestyle is superior during peace times. You can have your socialist medicine while sipping wine on a cafe, citing your moral superiority.

The shit hits then the fan, and America gets to work. It’s always been that way. You don’t think every city park, sports arena, venue etc won’t be turned into triage? You don’t think our manufacturing can whip up ventilators and masks? The medical requirements are basic. No one is needed heart surgery and chemo over this. A respirator and fluids, if you happen to be in the unlucky top of the pyramid that even needs medical assistance.

Don’t worry, America will save the day. Again.

How is Trump's handling of the crisis confused?  The U.S. has some of the best results of anywhere in the world.  We have 330 million people stretched out over a continent.  We have a low death rate compared to the rest of the world and it is actually much lower when you factor in that most people infected will not even ever know they had it.

Europe as a whole has fought many wars? Yeah... no. Yes some of the European countries with the land mass of Arizona have fought amongst each other.

Yes, America will have a lot of infections. We have a massive population, and lack the balls to execute and weld doors shut like commie China. New York will be hit hard. Massive population center. I think Long Island alone has a higher population than Los Angeles, or close.

Because of their blatant disrespect of the virus they deserve death.

Defeatist attitudes have never been our strong suit. We neutered the Nazis and put a man on the moon.

One of my associates is a “foreigner”, he stated “whatever is meant to be will happen”, I kindly reminded him that is the reason his people have gotten ran over time and time again.

The European lifestyle is superior during peace times. You can have your socialist medicine while sipping wine on a cafe, citing your moral superiority.

The shit hits then the fan, and America gets to work. It’s always been that way. You don’t think every city park, sports arena, venue etc won’t be turned into triage? You don’t think our manufacturing can whip up ventilators and masks? The medical requirements are basic. No one is needed heart surgery and chemo over this. A respirator and fluids, if you happen to be in the unlucky top of the pyramid that even needs medical assistance.

Don’t worry, America will save the day. Again.

Great post! So spot on!

You mean Russians destroyed the Nazi Germany since Americans entered the war that officially started in 1939 and ended in 1945, in 1944.
The reason...land grab..not dislike of the Nazis. Not to mention the fact that German almost became an official language in America, while it was building its legal structure hundreds of years ago.

Second, Nazi German Von Braun landed a man on the moon, not a redneck, like you.

Flex what country or nation would you suggest has a good track record with natural disasters that you can compare to the US and how we’ve handled floods, earthquakes, tornados and hurricanes?

There is no question we could have handled these situation better and history will soon decide if we have completely botched this Covid19, but who would you suggest is the standard that the world should emulate  when it comes to these devastating disasters?

I wasn't comparing nations handling of natural disasters, just painting the picture of what's to come.

There is no standard to emulate with covid19, you just try your best to prepare for what's ahead. The US was giving a helping hand in is. They basically have a crystal ball and can see weeks ahead at what's to come, just by looking at other Western countries. Somehow they have managed to still be one of the worst prepared countries for it.

It appears the US has already screwed itself with its handling of the economy. Or by not shutting its borders sooner.

I truly believe the disease and the overwhelming of the hospitals was never the "scary" part for Americans, as Visualizeperfection said we have been good at shifting production and converting  facilities, its the loss of jobs and the economic shut down.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/presidents-character-unequal-task/608743/

The qualities we most need in a president during this crisis are calmness, wisdom, and reassurance; a command of the facts and the ability to communicate them well; and the capacity to think about the medium and long term while carefully weighing competing options and conflicting needs. We need a leader who can persuade the public to act in ways that are difficult but necessary, who can focus like a laser beam on a problem for a sustained period of time, and who will listen to—and, when necessary, defer to—experts who know far more than he does. We need a president who can draw the nation together rather than drive it apart, who excels at the intricate work of governing, and who works well with elected officials at every level. We need a chief executive whose judgment is not just sound, but exceptional.

There are some 325 million people in America, and it’s hard to think of more than a handful who are more lacking in these qualities than Donald Trump

God bless brother and stay safe, you have good perspective and opinions.

I'd argue the best policy would be to try do both. Protect the economy and protect the health of the general population. What you don't want to do is send out every patriot with the message "it's just flu" and with their head buried in the sand.

You'd want people to go out with a healthy fear of it so they take sensible precautions. Each infected person spreading it to one less person buys you weeks, spreading it 1.5 less people buys you months. It's the difference between knowing 1 person who dies from the virus vs 4.

The current attitude to it all only benefits those at the very top.

Bergen County alone now has more coronavirus cases than 38 U.S. states


Bergen County has been the epicenter of New Jersey’s coronavirus outbreak, and now the 233 square mile area has exceeded 38 states in the number of cases of the virus it has reported so far.

There have been 1,505 positive cases of the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 in Bergen County to date, according to the state health department. For context, the entire state of Colorado has 1,430 cases, according to data compiled by the Washington Post.

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco told NJ Advance Media that his jurisdiction’s high rate of cases is due in part to more testing becoming available. A large number of Bergen County residents also travel for work to New York City, which has the most cases in the United States.

“Stay home. Stay home. Stay home,” Tedesco said in a phone interview. “I can’t say that enough.”

At an estimated 932,000 residents, the county is the most populated one in New Jersey. Living in such a densely populated area makes social distancing - or staying at least 6 feet away from others - a challenge.

Bergen County accounts for about 17% of New Jersey’s 8,825 coronavirus cases. At least 108 New Jersey residents have died after contracting the virus and at least 20 of those deaths were Bergen County residents, according to the most recent data put out by the state and county.

“We have almost a quarter of the deaths in the New Jersey,” Tedesco said. “It’s unfortunate that the families of people in Bergen County are feeling the magnitude of the virus.”

The whole state of New Jersey, meanwhile, ranks third in the United States for the number of COVID-19 cases. Only Louisiana and New York have more.

To quell the spread of the virus Gov. Phil Murphy ordered non-essential businesses to close and required all New Jersey residents to stay at home unless it’s for an essential purpose, like grocery shopping.

Tedesco is also closing all Bergen County parks Saturday morning. He said neighboring counties have done the same, which is driving residents from other areas to Bergen County’s parks instead.

Social distancing and stay-at-home orders are necessary to flatten the curve, or lower the number of patients infected with the virus at one time, officials have said. If too many residents get the virus at once, health experts say hospitals would be overwhelmed.

Still, Tedesco said, there is hope amidst all the staggering statistics.

“There are many, many people that are coming out of the virus and surviving,” he said. “That’s the great news, but the challenge is we’ve got to stop the spread. So the good news is that people can survive and a large majority in Bergen County are surviving.

“But - but! - we need people to change their behaviors.”

Just a few weeks ago Getbiggers where making fun of the situation, asked "where are the bodies?" in the warning thread from The Italian Lifter.

Now, the bodies in New York are piling up, they are running out of space in the morgues.

So where are the bodies? Right at your front door.

Let’s revisit this in 2-3 weeks when everyone is back doing their thing and see how well it held up.  The R0 on COVID is substantially higher than the flu so we can accurately assume there are far more cases then have been reported thus the mortality rate is significantly lower than it’s been reported.  Fear is a great way to control the masses, just look at the mass house arrest the world is under and for what?  To shelter from a virus that 80%+ of cases are mild at best.  I’ll admit, weeks ago I was falling into the paranoia but the more I read, the less concerned I am.

Bergen County alone now has more coronavirus cases than 38 U.S. states


Bergen County has been the epicenter of New Jersey’s coronavirus outbreak, and now the 233 square mile area has exceeded 38 states in the number of cases of the virus it has reported so far.

There have been 1,505 positive cases of the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 in Bergen County to date, according to the state health department. For context, the entire state of Colorado has 1,430 cases, according to data compiled by the Washington Post.

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco told NJ Advance Media that his jurisdiction’s high rate of cases is due in part to more testing becoming available. A large number of Bergen County residents also travel for work to New York City, which has the most cases in the United States.

“Stay home. Stay home. Stay home,” Tedesco said in a phone interview. “I can’t say that enough.”

At an estimated 932,000 residents, the county is the most populated one in New Jersey. Living in such a densely populated area makes social distancing - or staying at least 6 feet away from others - a challenge.

Bergen County accounts for about 17% of New Jersey’s 8,825 coronavirus cases. At least 108 New Jersey residents have died after contracting the virus and at least 20 of those deaths were Bergen County residents, according to the most recent data put out by the state and county.

“We have almost a quarter of the deaths in the New Jersey,” Tedesco said. “It’s unfortunate that the families of people in Bergen County are feeling the magnitude of the virus.”

The whole state of New Jersey, meanwhile, ranks third in the United States for the number of COVID-19 cases. Only Louisiana and New York have more.

To quell the spread of the virus Gov. Phil Murphy ordered non-essential businesses to close and required all New Jersey residents to stay at home unless it’s for an essential purpose, like grocery shopping.

Tedesco is also closing all Bergen County parks Saturday morning. He said neighboring counties have done the same, which is driving residents from other areas to Bergen County’s parks instead.

Social distancing and stay-at-home orders are necessary to flatten the curve, or lower the number of patients infected with the virus at one time, officials have said. If too many residents get the virus at once, health experts say hospitals would be overwhelmed.

Still, Tedesco said, there is hope amidst all the staggering statistics.

“There are many, many people that are coming out of the virus and surviving,” he said. “That’s the great news, but the challenge is we’ve got to stop the spread. So the good news is that people can survive and a large majority in Bergen County are surviving.

“But - but! - we need people to change their behaviors.”

Same boat. I was never worried about the virus itself, hoping I don’t get it, but I’m a young man and I keep myself healthy, not even any gear for almost 5 years.


I was really concerned about two weeks ago, dusted off the guns and mentally prepared myself for the worst case of social breakdown. People are not losing their shit yet. Hundreds of people out and about. Grocery stores have significantly caught back up.

I’m starting to think there could be some conspiracies afoot.

I don't get the conspiracy theory, many politicians ignored it very much like Trump did, then they panicked, it really seems extremely contagious, once emergency units start to overload, politians tend to panic.
It seems like a universal concept, first ignore, then shrug and say it is not a serious threat then city lockdowns, no sir, there is some serious shit about this virus!

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/presidents-character-unequal-task/608743/

The qualities we most need in a president during this crisis are calmness, wisdom, and reassurance; a command of the facts and the ability to communicate them well; and the capacity to think about the medium and long term while carefully weighing competing options and conflicting needs. We need a leader who can persuade the public to act in ways that are difficult but necessary, who can focus like a laser beam on a problem for a sustained period of time, and who will listen to—and, when necessary, defer to—experts who know far more than he does. We need a president who can draw the nation together rather than drive it apart, who excels at the intricate work of governing, and who works well with elected officials at every level. We need a chief executive whose judgment is not just sound, but exceptional.

There are some 325 million people in America, and it’s hard to think of more than a handful who are more lacking in these qualities than Donald Trump

Big deal buttercup, all leaders did the same thing - the WHO itself said :

I think the big cheeses were playing it off to delay bombing the economy for as long as they could. I think the media is overhyping it to ensure people comply with stay at home orders.

To be honest I’m in Southern California and don’t even know someone who knows someone who is infected. Not downplaying the severity just speaking facts.

700 N.J. police officers have tested positive for coronavirus, State Police leader says


About 700 New Jersey police officers have tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said Saturday.

“There’s more than 700 police officers quarantined at home, and there’s about the same ... number that have tested positive from all 21 counties,” Col. Patrick Callahan, acting superintendent of the State Police, said at a press conference in Trenton.

He did not give more detailed numbers or name affected departments, and the State Police did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

But that amount is far higher than previously known. Newark, Jersey City, NJ Transit, the Port Authority, Fanwood, Hazlet and the State Police have all reported cases.

Two officers that were in “serious condition” are now stable, Callahan said. None have died.

Testing sites in Bergen and Holmdel were only testing symptomatic first responders Saturday, Gov. Phil Murphy previously said.

There are about 36,000 officers in the state, according to recent State Police data, and experts said the public should not be concerned about a looming officer shortage.

“If you have the right officers and you have the right supervisors ... we are good,” said Maria Haberfeld, a police science professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

Crime has also dropped in the state, officials have said, which could help departments cope with any short-staffing, according to Jon Shane, a retired Newark police captain who teaches at John Jay.

“We don’t need as many police officers to respond if the work isn’t there," he said.

While smaller agencies would be more affected by sick officers, he said, even a steep decline in cops could be offset by help from neighboring departments, state troopers and “special officers,” which are sometimes retired cops at schools.

Police once stationed at casinos and other closed businesses could be moved, Shane said, and non-officers could cover some administrative tasks to free up more people for patrols.

National Guard troops were also recently approved to work in the state.

The state attorney general has raised the alarm, however, about a shortage of protective gear.

“We’re struggling, we are absolutely struggling with PPE across this state," Gurbir Grewal said Thursday. Some gear had to be wasted breaking up illegal gatherings, he said.

Cops responding to calls are now told which residences have coronavirus patients, although patient names are not shared. Some police are also limiting face-to-face contact, while others are purposely not enforcing some offenses.

My son-in-law told me that folks in Oregon are now temporarily able to pump their own gasoline. This will hopefully reduce exposure to COVID-19. It's advisable to wear protective gear like gloves in order to avoid direct contact on the pump handle.

The Office of the State Fire Marshal announced Saturday that Oregonians can start pumping their own gas due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“During this unprecedented time of state emergency, we need to ensure that critical supply lines for fuels and other basic services remain uninterrupted,” State Fire Marshal Jim Walker said.

We have also been advised to wear both masks and protective gloves whenever we go out in public. That's fine for people who have them, like us. Many don't though and they are unavailable due to the shortages. That's a bit of a catch 22.

Inside Trump’s risky push to reopen the country amid the coronavirus crisis


When Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) called President Trump last Sunday, he delivered a blunt message: If you reopen the nation’s economy too early against the advice of public-health experts, you will own the deaths from the novel coronavirus that follow.

Trump’s stalwart ally also warned that the president wouldn’t be the only one held responsible. Graham said the Republican Party itself risks being defined ahead of this fall’s elections as prioritizing commerce and the stock market over the health and safety of the American people, according to three White House officials and a GOP lawmaker who spoke on the condition of anonymity to comment frankly.


Trump listened to Graham but made no promises, the officials said. Trump argued to the senator, as he later would in public, that Americans must get back to work and businesses need to reopen as quickly as possible.

“Our country wasn’t built to be shut down,” the president said at a news conference last Monday, opening five straight days of public declarations raising the specter of easing social distancing guidelines and other restrictions by mid-April — a timeline that most experts studying the pandemic say is dangerously premature.

Graham’s private plea, which some of Trump’s advisers have echoed to the president, illustrates the political calculations underway inside the leadership ranks of the Republican Party as the president balances dual crises as he seeks reelection: the pandemic that is claiming lives and overburdening hospitals, and the resulting economic meltdown that already has left millions jobless, with many facing financial ruin.

The White House’s coronavirus task force, led by Vice President Pence, is preparing to issue revised recommendations from the president to the public once the current 15-day guidelines expire Monday.

Trump said Tuesday that he would like much of the country “opened up and raring to go” by Easter, which is April 12 — in part, he said, because he likes the imagery of church pews full for the holiday. Whether he follows through on that desire could be one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency.

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, listens to President Trump speak at the White House on March 26.
The president is not technically the decider, however. The battle to reopen the country pits Trump against multiple governors, Democratic and Republican alike, who are scrambling to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus in their communities and marshal medical supplies for their hospitals. They will have the final say on when restaurants, stores and other gathering places in their states can reopen.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R), who moved early to confront the outbreak and was the first governor to order restaurants and bars closed, said in an interview, “People’s heads are now moving toward how we will open this back up. That is certainly something we’re looking at.” But, he added, “You’ve got to be ready for the surge that we know is coming.”

In other states across the country, the surge has arrived — and it is testing Trump’s belief that Easter is a reasonable target.

In New York, the center of the coronavirus in the United States, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) has emerged as a national leader during the pandemic as he has excoriated the federal response and pleaded with the administration to send more ventilators and other supplies and to be prudent about a resumption of normal life.

“If you ask the American people to choose between public health and the economy, then it’s no contest. No American is going to say, ‘Accelerate the economy at the cost of human life,’ ” Cuomo told reporters last week.

Trump has fostered a transactional dynamic — in which he insinuates that loyalty and praise could be helpful for states seeking federal help — that has unsettled governors looking for fair terms and clear guidance from the federal government, several gubernatorial aides said privately.

As Trump said Tuesday on Fox News Channel, “It’s a two-way street. They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, ‘Oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.’ ”

Javits Convention Center in New York City.© Bryan R. Smith/AFP/Getty Images New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo speaks before members of the National Guard at a news conference March 27 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
A growing uneasiness about Trump’s motives and leadership hovers over private conversations among governors, according to top Democrats and Republicans privy to the conversations. Even those who are Trump’s political allies are “never quite sure what he’ll do or if they can trust what they hear from Pence,” according to one adviser to a Republican governor who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to comment frankly.

Trump’s highly charged approach has prompted some governors to band together and discuss their own timelines for closures and other issues, with bipartisan and strong but under-the-radar partnerships driving many decisions.

“We’re all drinking out of a fire hose, but they’ve really been leaning on one another and pulling together,” Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said in an interview. “There is texting and phone calls back and forth — and it’s not like, have your scheduler call my scheduler.”

This collective gubernatorial power could be a counterweight in the coming days if Trump continues to rally for a national reopening. But governors will also continue to lean on Trump for federal help — an imperative that New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said would outweigh emerging tensions over reopening the economy, at least for now.

“We can’t print money, and we don’t have anything close to the stockpiles the federal government has, so we need them,” Murphy said in an interview.

Some red-state governors have been more aggressive about keeping their economies humming.

In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was far slower than other big-state governors to order restrictions, and he refused to close beaches this month to spring break revelers.

And in Mississippi, Gov. Tate Reeves (R) issued an executive order classifying most businesses in the state as “essential,” thereby exempting them from any shutdown orders that cities and counties issue.

“Mississippi’s never going to be China,” Reeves said — even as neighboring Louisiana has recorded one of the highest surges in coronavirus cases. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) has warned that the number of patients will soon exceed the state’s treatment capacity.

Trump has said that his “first priority” is the health and safety of the American people and that his decision about what to recommend will be guided by the medical experts on his team. “We will be using data to recommend new protocols to allow local economies to cautiously resume their activity at the appropriate time,” the president said Tuesday.

Yet in private discussions, the president has been driven much more by economic concerns, according to people involved in internal debates or briefed on them. Trump has long viewed the stock market as a barometer for his own reelection hopes, and he has been distraught at the meltdown in recent weeks. He has been inundated with calls from business leaders, wealthy supporters and conservative allies urging him to get Americans back to work and stave off further calamity, even if doing so carries health risks.

“There’s a fatalism that no matter what he does, he’s going to get blamed by half of the country,” said a former senior administration official with knowledge of Trump’s thinking. “If there is something he has some measure of control over, which is the economy, why not potentially try to take action? Yes, there will be a death toll, and he’ll get blamed one way or another, but in all likelihood, whether he gets reelected or not will depend on where the economy is and where people’s perceptions of the economy are six months from now. That’s where he is primarily focused.”

Former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell (D) said Trump is “overreacting terribly” to economic concerns by suggesting a premature return to normal when he ought to be focused entirely on mitigating the spread of the coronavirus.

“The thing he wanted most was to have a great economy. Boom, he’d win,” Rendell said. “It’s causing him to make a terrible error. . . . If the virus doesn’t abate, he’ll be blamed for it, and it’ll be an utter disaster.”

It is far too soon to measure public approval of Trump’s management of the pandemic and draw meaningful conclusions about his reelection chances, but it is likely to be the main event on which he is judged by voters in November, according to political strategists.

“The way public officials handle crises can be make or break moments for political careers,” said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. “The way public officials perform, their competence and their ability to help their constituents recover from a crisis overshadows almost anything else that they do.”

Trump’s reliance on his gut instincts and his decision to put his grievances and skepticism of the federal government at the fore of his approach has alarmed many governors, who said they feel isolated as they respond to a global crisis.

“Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what the White House’s position is,” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) said in an interview. “We had the president one time saying it’s a hoax, then a few weeks later, it’s really, really bad, then, let’s shoot for Easter.”

Evers said Wisconsinites seeking facts and guidance are turning instead to local leaders and institutions, such as the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, which has canceled Easter Sunday Masses despite the president’s desire for packed pews. Asked whether he would take his cue on when to reopen Wisconsin’s economy from the president, the governor said, “No.”

“There is a disconnect, and while the president is free to make any comments he wants to, it’s confusing to people — that’s the bottom line,” Evers said. “My health-care officials and scientists are telling me it’s still a big deal. They’ll make the decisions based on science. That’s what we’ll do here.”

Gretchen Whitmer in a March 23 address in Lansing directing her state’s residents to stay home.
It’s not as if governors are opposed to reopening the economy quickly. “I share that goal with the president,” Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) said in an interview.

In fact, Raimondo argued, governors are more in touch with the real-world consequences of the shutdown than is the president, who hears mostly from executives of large companies.

“We are the ones in our communities talking to the laid-off waitress stressed [about how] she’s going to take care of her children, talking to hospital workers worried if they will be safe,” Raimondo said.


As John Kasich, a former Republican governor of Ohio, put it, “When you’re governor, you realize you’re really the father or mother of the people inside of your state. You’re right there. You live with them. You see them. You hear from them.”

Trump has been closely tracking what governors say in the media and has been quick to attack those he sees as critical of the federal response. He repeatedly has trashed Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), to name just two.

Whitmer and other governors said they are treading lightly with Trump and hoping to avoid his wrath. “I know that there is a sensitivity, sure,” Whitmer said in an interview.

“I have 10 million people in this state, and I need to be able to deliver on protecting them,” Whitmer said. “Working with the federal government is really important. I’ve never gone out of my way looking for a fight, and I’m certainly not doing that, because I need as much partnership and assistance from the federal government as I can get.”

“At the end of the day,” she added, “this isn’t a political fight. This is a fight to save lives.”

The sad thing here is the fact that the dude is built, is a salesman likely earning a good salary, has a hottish wife, tall etc. but he still feels the need to bullshit to make himself appear elite.

Doubtful.The Diamond Princess cruise liner and South Korea are our best sources of info since everyone was tested on the diamond and the huge rate of testing in south Korea.Both have a roughly 1.5% death rate.Problem is these are ideal situations where everyone is tested and everyone has access to care early.Once medical facilities are overloaded or a country simply has poor health care,very little testing, then these rates rise dramatically.

Doubtful.The Diamond Princess cruise liner and South Korea are our best sources of info since everyone was tested on the diamond and the huge rate of testing in south Korea.Both have a roughly 1.5% death rate.Problem is these are ideal situations where everyone is tested and everyone has access to care early.Once medical facilities are overloaded or a country simply has poor health care,very little testing, then these rates rise dramatically.

They were also old. I think the average age of PC was 58.

The point about the cruise liner having a median age higher than the general population is very valid.

Also you need to at some point factor in the those who are infected, neutralize the virus in a matter hours/days and show no symptoms. They will likely test negative for an antigen test.

This is the key to the whole pandemic.

Sure, but it lines up far too well with south korea for it to be a coincidence imho.I havnt heard any evidence of people only testing positive in a small window yet.Not having symptoms or only having them for a few days, yes.

Yes, the testing has been a problem.

There were media reports a while back, people testing negative, getting more sick and a week later testing positive.

Sounds reasonable otherwise the most infectious virus out there is doing a pretty piss poor job given hospitals planet wide are overrun with sick.....but apparently not sick with coronvirus.

Remember tests in Iceland have shown half the people testing positive are asymptomatic and contact tracing can only really start from a symptomatic person. So plenty of cases will be missing from Korean numbers.

There has been plenty of literature about the asymptomatic and how infections via asymptomatic patients are very rare. The WHO have it at 3% or less.

If Asymptomatic cases are indeed 50% of all infections then places like Northern Italy, Madrid, New York and maybe London have or are close to reaching the required number of infections for herd immunity. The timeline just needs to play out now.

As a ballpark figure a city with a population of 10million which doesn't exceed surge capacity will approximately have 5K deaths on its way to achieving herd immunity. Could be 4 times that for somewhere like New York which is under prepared.

Guys, you never, NEVER get back with a woman that cheated on you. No matter what she does after that and how many times she apologizes. You cut her out of your life the moment you find out. And if you do get back together, she will never respect you the way she could becuase then she knows you're a loser with no better option and when a woman doesn't respect you, the relationship is doomed.

Back to the virus, my country(Slovenia, next to italy on the east) has a population of 2 million . As of yesterday around 700 people have been confirmed positive. 9 people have died so far, 8 of them being old and living in nursing homes with other medical condoitions. The other 1 had terminal cancer and was around 67.

Perhaps some hope -

“If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2“

hydroxychlroquine faciliates Zinc entering cells. once zinc is in the cell, it slows down virus replication.
azithromycin has some synergies with HCQ, but it also fights off other infections that could hurt you while your body is busy fighting the virus. the time that the zinc buys you allows your white blood cells to kill the virus before it gets too big in number.

That would be like saying no one dies from aids.

If covid19 accelerates deaths from other health conditions then as much as people might not like it, it needs go down as a covid death.

Why? Because if we don't have long term immunity, or create a successful treatment or vaccine, then chances are this will become seasonal like flu and we'd need to scale up the health system to be robust enough to deal with it every year. Can't do that efficiently without accurate reporting of covid related deaths.

The simple fact is covid19 makes pre-existing conditions more dangerous. If Covid19 exacerbates other conditions which then ends in death with covid complications then (for now) it needs recording as a covid death as that's what's being treated (or not as in the care homes)

It may well be the person would only have had 2 more extra months of life without covid, but they could just as easily have had 2 more years. We can not say for certain

As I said they need to accurately record every covid related death right now in case they need to deal with this seasonally. If it is just a one off then in time they can look at how the deaths are categorized more forensically. What they can't do is half ass it. Just look at the problems half assing has caused right now.

the fact that most people probably have the virus by now (if its as contagious as they make out) then everyone who goes into hospital either already has it or will get it while in hospital then every death will be put down to Covid19 if they test after death..

Having the virus and having complications brought on by the virus are also 2 different things. You'll see some kinda respiratory distress and lung damage if it's a covid related death.

What we don't need is the deaths being glossed over and then facing the same situation again next year. Do you think we'll have many doctors and nurses left in a couple of years if they are forced to work 12 hour shifts for months without a day off dealing with pandemics?

Yes, that is exactly what's happening.  A person who has COPD, CHF, Cardiomyopathy, etc. catches the kung flu and dies.  The kung flu gets the kill.  It's not fair.   >:(

Think about the nursing homes.  Half the residents are circling the drain already, and would probably die soon, without kung flu's help.  Why does China Virus get all the glory?   ???

We’ll have to ask the Great Amoeba Fuckwit Fleacon he knows Fuck all.

Having the virus and having complications brought on by the virus are also 2 different things. You'll see some kinda respiratory distress and lung damage if it's a covid related death.

What we don't need is the deaths being glossed over and then facing the same situation again next year. Do you think we'll have many doctors and nurses left in a couple of years if they are forced to work 12 hour shifts for months without a day off dealing with pandemics?

If this virus is as dangerous as they are making out it wouldnt matter if the hospitals were closed, it would appear everyones dying any way..

I think this car analogy is better:

Car is on a cliff. It may have all kinds of problems. Bad brakes, it's leaking oil etc. but it's not going anywhere.

A huge boulder hits the car, pushing it over the edge of the cliff.

Corona is that boulder.

As I said they need to accurately record every covid related death right now in case they need to deal with this seasonally. If it is just a one off then in time they can look at how the deaths are categorized more forensically. What they can't do is half ass it. Just look at the problems half assing has caused right now.


 


Agreed. NYC really dropped the ball.

It's dangerous to the economy, infrastructure and social order.Most people won't die, providing it doesn't mutate or have long effects we don't yet know about.But it doesn't take much to tank the economy, doesn't take many deaths to overload hospitals from the equilibrium of predictable deaths that have been calculated before this in to day to day hospital running, and certainly doesn't take much to cause social unrest in the grand scheme of things.Letting it run wild with no lockdowns would have been catastrophic.

It’s the exact same playbook as the AIDS scare. No matter what kind of ailment you had, if there was also an HIV positive test, it’s AIDS.

To answer your question: to pad the numbers.


This is from the Left leaning Guardian. Could the description be any more vague?



https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/23/have-i-already-had-covid19-coronavirus

Could I have had it and been asymptomatic?

Hillmann: Coronavirus is actually quite a significant spectrum of symptoms, from people who are entirely asymptomatic and would have no idea that they have it to people with very mild, cold-like symptoms – runny nose, congestion, sore throat – to people with more flu-like symptoms – high fevers, muscle aches, shortness of breath and cough. All the way up to people with severe illness, who we’re seeing in the hospital with respiratory failure, requiring ICU care.

It just spread faster in affluent countries because those people are able to travel more.

Also a lot of deaths will go unnoticed in poorer countries. It will just get passed off as dying because of old age.

It appears they have effectively found the drugs to tackle CHI NAH Virus they need to be promoted & got out to all that need them - they cost about $5 to treat each person - Far cheaper & more effective than a Countries on lockdown/ people out of Work / Businesses Closing Etc.

Trump is a stupid person

People the vote for him are stupider

(https://i.imgflip.com/3qqdmx.jpg)


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-seeks-to-sell-public-on-his-coronavirus-response/ar-BB11VVC7


President Trump is aggressively seeking to sell the public on his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, a push slammed by critics for presenting a rosier picture than reality.

At the White House's daily press briefings, Trump has taken credit for doing a "hell of a job" and fashioned himself as a wartime president against a backdrop of steadily escalating coronavirus cases and deaths.


He's said he always knew the outbreak was a pandemic after downplaying the danger in January and February, while voicing optimism about progress in testing and finding a vaccine.

He's criticized state governors who have complained about shortages in critical medical supplies and repeatedly battled with the media. On Sunday, he denied saying things he'd said days earlier, adding fuel to a debate in the media about whether to show the press briefings in real time.

"As @realDonaldTrump continues to prattle on at his nightly rally about what a terrific job he's doing, America clears 100,000 diagnosed COVID-19 cases-tops in the world and rapidly climbing," CNN pundit and former Obama strategist David Axelrod wrote in a Sunday tweet. "Why are we wasting so much time on tedious, shameless self-promotion?"

Polls show a majority of the public approves of the job Trump is doing, which likely bolsters the White House's confidence in the briefings. Trump has also sought to play questions about whether the media would broadcast the briefings to his advantage by setting up the press as rooting for his and the country's failure.

Trump in recent days described his administration's performance as "fantastic," "incredible" and "great" amid criticism that the administration was late to recognize the threat and to urge Americans to practice social distancing.

To be sure, the president has taken steps that have earned him commendation, including the decision to declare a national emergency over the virus on March 13 and, more recently, to extend social distancing guidelines until the end of April based on advice from public health officials.

"I think, beginning March 13, he has come to grips with the crisis," said Yanzhong Huang, a global health fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

But even after March 13, Trump flirted with reopening much of the country by Easter before being convinced the virus's spread might actually be peaking around that holiday on April 12.

Huang said Trump's decision to restrict travel from China in late January, which the president often cites as an example of swift action against the virus, would have been more effective if it had been paired with more aggressive steps to screen travelers and enforce quarantines.

Some of the president's key actions to combat the virus have also amounted to reversals from previously held stances, further undermining his effort to project a sense of control over the pandemic.

The world is battling the COVID-19 outbreak that the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic, which has claimed more than 36,946 lives and infected more than 775,306 people around the world.

Trump last week invoked the Defense Production Act to compel General Motors to make ventilators one day after he questioned state requests for tens of thousands of the breathing machines.

Trump on Sunday predicted the deaths from the virus would peak in two weeks and repeatedly referred to models that showed up to 2.2 million Americans could die of the virus without any mitigation efforts, saying the figure influenced his decision to extend social distancing guidelines.

He also then took credit for actions that he said would prevent the country from reaching such a gruesome milestone.

"If we can hold that down, as we're saying, to 100,000 - it's a horrible number maybe even less, but to 100,000... we all, together, have done a very good job," Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden.

Yet Trump as recently as last week compared the coronavirus to the common flu or automobile accidents. He predicted in February that the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. would be close to zero "within a couple days."

"The most cynical thing @POTUS did yesterday was move the goal posts on his performance. He now says millions would have died if not for his heroic effort. That's to cover for hundreds of thousands dying. Just remember his inaction got us here and he said that magic would solve it," Joe Lockhart, a former White House spokesman under President Clinton, wrote in a tweet.


Trump has talked up therapeutic treatments being tested by the Food and Drug Administration, such as drugs used to treat malaria, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, that are being tested on more than 1,000 patients in New York. Health professionals, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have emphasized that the treatments have not yet been proven to be safe and effective.

The president's allies have credited him with adopting a somber tone for most of the past two weeks. He appeared to fully grasp the extent of the problem on Sunday as he spoke soberly about worst case scenarios and images of bodies being taken out of a New York City hospital.

Advisers also pointed to the extension of social distancing guidelines despite a desire to reopen parts of the economy as proof that Trump is actually taking to heart the data presented to him by officials like Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx.

Trump signaled in an appearance Monday on "Fox & Friends" that he would continue to listen to public health officials if they recommended extending the guidelines into May.

"Once he saw the gravity of the numbers in the modeling, he made the right choice," said Jason Miller, a former Trump campaign aide who now co-hosts a radio show focused on the pandemic.

Recent polling indicates Trump's tactics to flood the airwaves with his own messaging may be effective politically. An ABC News-Washington Post poll released at the end of last week showed that 51 percent of Americans surveyed approve of Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, whereas 45 percent disapprove. Fifty-eight percent also said the president acted too slowly in the early days of the outbreak.

Trump will face a major test in the coming weeks as he shepherds the public through a period expected to yield the peak number of COVID-19 cases and further economic turmoil. The number of domestic cases exceeded 153,000 on Monday, while statewide shutdowns have forced businesses to temporarily close their doors and lay off or furlough employees.

"Presidents get reelected in wartimes more often than not," said GOP strategist Alex Conant, who held communications roles in George W. Bush's White House and on Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Fla.) 2016 presidential campaign. "We've already seen at least a little bit of a rallying around the commander in chief, and we don't know how long that lasts."

‘Even the invincible aren’t invincible’: HS baseball coach, 30, dies of coronavirus


Ben Luderer, the head baseball coach at Cliffside Park and a member of the 2008 Don Bosco Prep team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation, died Monday from complications of the coronavirus.

Luderer, 30, was remembered as a key member of a national championship baseball team and an up-and-coming head coach by his former high school coaches Monday.

“It’s a shocking loss,” said Greg Butler the head coach of the 2008 Don Bosco team and now the athletic director at Demarest. “Even the invincible aren’t invincible. That was a group of guys who could not be beaten, then something like this happens and shows just how vulnerable we all are.

“He was a healthy, strong, athletic, 30-year-old head coach.”

Luderer was a special education teacher at School No. 6 (middle school) in Cliffside Park.

“He is irreplaceable,” said Cliffside Park athletic director David Porfido. “I cried all morning.”

Porfido said he informed players of Luderer’s death via video conference on Monday.

“We all live by rulebooks and manuals, but there was nothing for this,” Porfido said. “When I told the kids there was nothing but silence.”

Luderer went to the hospital last Friday when he felt symptoms consistent with coronavirus, according to Porfido, but he was sent home.

“I was told things went bad on Sunday night,” Porfido said. “He died at his home.”

Luderer played his college baseball at Marist. He was one of seven Division I players on a Don Bosco team that went 33-0. At Marist, he also met his wife Brandy, who coaches volleyball and basketball at Cliffside Park.

“We were playing in the county championship game in 2006 and we had the game wrapped up,” said former Don Bosco head coach Leon Matthews. “Ben was only a sophomore and I wanted to put him in the game. He turned to me and said ‘coach, let the senior finish it up.’

“He was selfless. You don’t forget a kid like that.”

During the historic 2008 season, Luderer was given the job of catching and managing one of New Jersey’s premier pitching staffs. The two aces were left-hander Eric Pfisterer and righty Eric Dennhardt.

Pfisterer went on to pitch at Duke and was a 15th round draft choice of the Cincinnati Reds as a senior. Dennhardt went to Boston College and also played in the Reds organization.

“I needed him to control that pitching staff,” Butler said. “You needed to be a heck of catcher to handle their stuff and work the game.

“His senior year he hit in the six-hole for us and I don’t think he went into a slump all season. It seemed like he had a clutch RBI in every game.”

“With Ben you never had to coach effort,” Matthews said. “Ben was a little round when he came to us as a freshman from River Dell. But he got himself in shape and he worked on everything. He loved practice. He was one of those first-to-arrive, last-to-leave kind of kids.”

Matthews, who coached Luderer his first three seasons at Don Bosco and in travel ball, said he was on his way to becoming an outstanding coach.

“He loved coaching, he loved teaching and making kids better,” Matthews said. “It gave me chills to watch him coach.

“I can only imagine what kind of loss this is for the kids in the Cliffside Park program. There are a lot of guys who don’t pour their hearts into the kids. I watched him and he taught every kid the same from his best players to those who were on his bench.

“He was going to be a great coach,” Matthews added.

Butler, who also directs the Bergen County Tournament, said Cliffside Park was on its way back to becoming prominent.

“When I was a kid, Cliffside Park was a good program, but in recent years it fell off the rails,” Butler said. “He helped bring that program back to respectability. I was excited to see it.”

“Ben preached education-based athletics,” Porfido said. “He learned Spanish so he could communicate better with some of our kids and their parents. He related to our kids in any way possible. Ben did a tremendous job of getting our program to the next level. We have two juniors who signed letters of intent and two seniors going to play in college.

“He was a friend to everybody and just a tremendous person to be around. It’s just horrible.”

My daughter found out today that her physical therapist tested positive for the novel coronavirus. She saw her primary care doctor today and took the COVID-19 test. Results take five days. She's allergic to almost all antibiotics. So if she has it, she's in a pickle. Presently, she's quarantined in the bedroom at least until the test results come through and longer if she has the virus. Fortunately, she is a relatively healthy person.

Sorry, I can't put a humorous spin on this. I'm just going try and keep positive thoughts for her well being and the rest of us who've already had contact with her.

A lot of us are.


I want hard data exactly how many people do you actually know who aren't?

unfortunately, I suspect we will be hearing about it for a long time to come.

 I would not bet on that.

I am 75 years old and this is the biggest thing that has happened in my lifetime.

My closest friend here is 83 and he begs to differ.

 even if they find a cure for it or a vaccine to prevent it.

Im snarky because I haven't slept and I did not like the tone of your post, it comes across very much like if we presumed the media is in fact trying to brainwash the masses the most advanced (in terms of % of brainwashed matter vs unbrainwashed matter in your skull) would of course be retired since they have more "free time"  to spend doing WHAT? Watching television of course! I shudder at the thought that there might be more people who sound like your post did and sadly the only logic I really have for reference says as we are forced indoors and glued to the television sets, sooner or later we will all sound like you. In this post you made I am referencing. Usually I enjoy reading what you wright.

FYI the day is coming sooner than later that the media will wash this experience from most peoples list of things to allocate scant mental resources to. You may not even notice when it happens, but it's right around the corner I think.

Thank you for the well wishes. They are much appreciated. We're hoping it's just a scare. We should know in about 5 days. It sure dumps the whole mess on our doorstep though. This is going to play out in one of two ways. One being that my daughter didn't contract the virus from her physical therapist and she and the rest of us can literally breathe a little easier, or she did and we'll all end up getting tested and or quarantined. If one of us is going to get sick and die, it should be me because I've lived a full life. The rest of my family is just getting started.


On another note. Maybe you could explain for me how someone becomes less of an old fag? I'm old and not getting any younger, God damn it! I've also been bisexual for the last 6 or 7 decades which has not changed, much as there were times past when I wish it had.

Did you know that many gay folks don't like bisexual folks, just as many straight folks don't like us either? Lucky me, huh? Why does it bother some people when other people learn to be comfortable in their own skin, once they figure out they don't have the option of getting new skin? Only snakes get to do that.

Most people don't care about what someone's sexual preference is. In fact, unless someone is involved in one's personal lives there should be no reason they would even know what their sexual proclivities are. What we don't like is having it shoved in our faces constantly. There are many gay people on this board and it's never an issue as they mostly keep it to themselves. With you, it's always there. Always trying to normalize it. Always making excuses for perversion and even defending it. It's like your sexuality is what primarily defines you. If anybody starts a thread or makes a post regarding anything having to do with gayness, transsexuality, bisexuality, gender confusion... anything, there you will be front and center.

Excellent post. For what it's worth, I would take up arms and march to my death to defend this country. Who or what people like to fuck, don't care don't really need to know about it, DEFINITELY don't need or want to hear about it, DEFINITELY don't need/want to have to see it proudly displayed for the world to see. Be more Japanese, less American. At the end of the day it's the logical thing to do as unity brings strength, division weakness. It makes sense to carry on publicly in the least controversial way. While still preserving the essence of controversy and free speech and individualism etc. You know what I mean.

How about you learn a new tune. This one is getting really old. Have you ever thought about not making or following threads about people's sexuality? Or at least not ragging on about it when someone else does?

Case in point. I responded to a direct question someone asked me. You weren't a part of our conversation and yet here you are horning in on it. Something you do fairly often. But maybe you haven't notice that.

You are a fairly competent Getbig historian. Maybe you could tell me how many of these threads which seem to trouble you so much I've actually started. See how that works? But hey, don't put yourself out. Wouldn't want anything gay to rub off on you. Because if it did, you'd have to kill yourself.

Id be willing to bet you aren't even bisexual. How many men have you slept with in the last 6 months? Year? 5 years? Questions are relevant as the title "Bisexual" implies you have sex with both men and women. It does not mean you find some dudes to be good looking, it means some of the time chicks get you off, but a certain looking dude could have done just as well.

Human sexuality is ooooooo super complex and super individualistically open to interpretation but at the end of the day, if you are bisexual, I don't think a monogamous relationship with a woman would be fulfilling. In fact, it would probably end in disaster.

Just throwing my opinion out there because the whole topic seems a little sensitive for you, or worth talking about to you, and I felt what I wrote might enlighten you. Time to time I see men I can say I find appealing physically, I can appreciate male beauty, but I have never in my life felt like being with a good looking dude was my ticket even just for the night. Sex appeal as it pertains to bisexuality implies you can be and often must be turned on by an aggressive male, theoretically you would still find a submissive female attractive I guess.

You must also dig the aroma of male sweat cum and asshole residue. I've smelled it, no thank you.

Who knows what I am or am not. People like putting other people in convenient little boxes. Sometimes we will say something just to make them more comfortable. To answer your question. I haven't been with anyone, male or female in the last 5 years and actually for much, much longer than that. I could give you more details, but I wouldn't want to set Pellius off, so I am trying to be succinct here.

You raise some interesting questions. Too bad I have a gag order from on high. ::) PM me if you want to continue this conversation.

I have no idea why it takes five days to get test results. Perhaps the labs are swamped. I'm grateful that her doctor was able to test her the same day as she found out about having been exposed. Unfortunately, all of us here, in the house may have been exposed to the virus, since symptoms, if you have them, don't show up right away. We've been pretty careful about keeping everything sanitary around the place. One can only hope that this has been enough.

Trump says a lot of stuff without thinking. People should be used to it. He's not alone. Politicians are known for telling people what they want to hear. And most people prefer good news over bad. This explains why folks believe the U.S. has best medical system in the world. Those of us who have family and friends in other developed countries know otherwise. Any healthcare system that only serves some of the people (usually those who can afford it) is not as good as one that is there for everyone. My son and family live in Germany. So far, they've handled the novel coronavirus pandemic more efficiently than the U.S. has.

You are a fairly competent Getbig historian. Maybe you could tell me how many of these threads which seem to trouble you so much I've actually started. See how that works? But hey, don't put yourself out. Wouldn't want anything gay to rub off on you. Because if it did, you'd have to kill yourself.

Why should I learn a new "tune" when my "tune" is right on the money. It's old to you because it's true and you don't like hearing it. How you shove your gay and sexual agenda down everyone's throats here. You think it's a coincidence that the only gay person that the majority of the people on this board have an issue with is with YOU!

Oh, I'm sorry, you weren't talking to me and I just "horned" in. What a hypocritical prissy little phag you are. Inserting yourself into everything that goes on here is what you mainly do. And this is a public forum. People bring up subjects or discuss topics and everybody is free to jump in. What a crybaby soggy, old, queer you are. I thought you said you were having fun with me? Sure you are. That's what everybody says when they are getting their ass handed to them which I do with you on a regular basis.

And you want me to go back and list all the offensive posts you've made on this board? Really?

Like I always say when you get called out by others for your perversions, you are just absolutely clueless. You really genuinely have no idea why the majority of people here find you repulsive. You think you can casually and blithely talk about sucking a cock through a hole in the wall or not wanting to spend time with your dying wife going through dialysis and not get judged on that.

Clueless.

Viral virus briefing: Where science meets all things Trump

(https://media12.s-nbcnews.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Video/202003/n_msnbc_brk_mypillow_200330_1920x1080.focal-760x428.jpg)


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/viral-virus-briefing-where-science-meets-all-things-trump/ar-BB11YjUT


Executives step up to say what their companies are doing about producing and shipping critical medical supplies. Praise for Trump's leadership is standard in their brief remarks. This is a president who wants a public display of appreciation and has said he may not call people back if he doesn't get that.

We hear some basics about the world: “Think of it: 151 countries. Somebody said to me today ... they didn’t know that we had that many countries. A hundred and fifty-one countries. That’s something.”

We hear a series of unverified statements: about an unidentified New York hospital he's been told is hoarding masks, an uncorroborated theory that the fatality rate in the U.S. is lower than in other countries, his conviction that the speedy new tests will be “a whole new ballgame.”

He trots out the rhetorical bronco, saying some aides wanted him to just hang on and ride it out until the crisis passed but he felt he should do more.

Trump's doggedly positive spin, evident for several months, begins to fray when he announces a month-long extension of social distancing guidelines that were to expire Monday.

Two Hunters, Looking For Food, Were Shot Dead After Coronavirus Layoffs


Two men who were found shot dead Saturday on a rural road in northeastern Alberta were out hunting to feed their families following a layoff connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jake Sansom, 39 and his uncle Morris Cardinal, 57, were found dead on Saturday on a rural road north of the small town of Glendon by someone driving by. According to a police report, the two men were found outside of their truck with gunshot wounds, and their deaths are being treated as “suspicious.”

According to the Edmonton Journal and social media posts by family and friends, Sansom and Cardinal had spent Friday hunting to put food on the table for their families and others in the community, after Sansom was laid off from his job as a heavy-duty mechanic amid the coronavirus pandemic. Both men were of Indigenous ancestry and could therefore hunt out of season.

One person posted photos of the two hunting together on Friday and said they had already bagged one moose, which they had left with one of Cardinal’s family members, and were on the hunt for another.

“You did what you have done all your life and took it to a family in need and left half your moose there and were bringing home the rest to feed many other families,” said the post.

The family released statements about Sansom and Cardinal but are asking for distance from the media. According to the family, Sansom, a married father of three who worked as a volunteer firefighter, was a “gentle giant.”

“All the kids in the community loved him and everyone knew who he was, knew he had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back for anyone,” the statement said.

Morris worked as a tree feller for years and leaves behind five young grandkids and three stepchildren.

“Morris was the most generous, hilarious man with a heart of gold and everyone’s best friend and the life of the party, always,” reads the family’s statement.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for Sarah Sansom, Sansom’s wife, and has raised over $20,000 at the time of publication.

The RCMP major crimes unit is requesting any trail, dashboard, and surveillance camera footage from that area from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday. An RCMP spokesperson told VICE they are awaiting the results of an autopsy.

If the lockdown doesn't work, and there's no vaccine soon, we're just going to have to go back to work and accept that our chances of dying or getting ill are higher than before.

Either way, even if the disease passes, the economic damage locally has been immense and time will tell whether the country will ever be able to fully recover. Businesses are closing, unemployment will be up, and the currency is now considerably weaker.

Has a safe and fully effective vaccine ever been developed for a novel- coronavirus?

Also, herd immunity will be more of a nation saver in the end hence why people should be wearing masks out in public.

information on Herd Immunity
Quote
Unfortunately, a very rough estimate suggests that we will only reach herd immunity to Covid-19 when approximately 60% of the population is immune (and remember that immunity is currently only reached by getting the infection as we have no vaccine!).  The major downside is that this will mean that in the UK alone at least 36 million people will need to be infected and recover. It is almost impossible to predict what that will mean in terms of human costs but we are conservatively looking at 10,000s deaths, and possibly at 100,000s of death.  The only way to make this work would be to spread out these millions of cases over a relatively long period of time so that the NHS does not get overwhelmed.

the above seems to be the plan in the USA and the UK

If we shut down the economy every winter we would save thousands of lives from the flu. If we banned cars we would save even more lives. It's never "worth it" especially not to combat a virus that kills hardly anyone. How are we so many months into this and people are still buying into the manufactured crisis? The hospitals aren't even overwhelmed, we have had worse flu seasons than this. Clown world to the extreme.

If we ban guns, for everyone: civilians, law enforcement and military that will cut down on deaths.

If we ban automobiles, again for everyone, that will cut down on deaths.

If we ban unhealthy food, like fried chicken dinner, deaths will be lowered. I wish we could ban heart disease and obesity. And Cancer.

Oh and abortions.

The real problem, chickendinner, is that the public and our leadership are being misled and manipulated. If the decision is to shut down the economy for the betterment of the country that is fine.

But we can’t do that and then have the Governor of New York say he can’t the respirators he needs FROM CHINA, the very country that introduced the disease, because he is bidding against 49 other states.

We also can’t read about an American company like Starbucks flying leadership into China to negotiate opening 6000 new stores while this is all going on.

I beg to differ. I’ve been to China many times on business: Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Leshan, Tangshan, etc. Gotten to know many people there. I have only heard good things about the USA and some pretty nasty things about the Chinese government.

I gave a tech talk at CASIC, a Chinese aerospace institute. I dealt directly with members of the Communist Party leadership. Some of the slimiest bastards I have ever encountered. Contrast that with my dealings in Washington DC with members of the Executive branch - no comparison at all. While US politicians may be dirtbags at times the leadership of the CCP is downright evil.

Interesting video on the source of Corona virus and the CCP's role.



I had posted as much in another thread, though what I had heard was that covid19 was created artificially I have no idea if that's actually true and it doesn't really matter anyway.

I beg to differ. I’ve been to China many times on business: Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Leshan, Tangshan, etc. Gotten to know many people there. I have only heard good things about the USA and some pretty nasty things about the Chinese government.

I gave a tech talk at CASIC, a Chinese aerospace institute. I dealt directly with members of the Communist Party leadership. Some of the slimiest bastards I have ever encountered. Contrast that with my dealings in Washington DC with members of the Executive branch - no comparison at all. While US politicians may be dirtbags at times the leadership of the CCP is downright evil.
I've never come across anyone who's done business or spent any considerable amount of time in China that has anything good to say about their government.

Why should I learn a new "tune" when my "tune" is right on the money. It's old to you because it's true and you don't like hearing it. How you shove your gay and sexual agenda down everyone's throats here. You think it's a coincidence that the only gay person that the majority of the people on this board have an issue with is with YOU!

Oh, I'm sorry, you weren't talking to me and I just "horned" in. What a hypocritical prissy little phag you are. Inserting yourself into everything that goes on here is what you mainly do. And this is a public forum. People bring up subjects or discuss topics and everybody is free to jump in. What a crybaby soggy, old, queer you are. I thought you said you were having fun with me? Sure you are. That's what everybody says when they are getting their ass handed to them which I do with you on a regular basis.

And you want me to go back and list all the offensive posts you've made on this board? Really?

Like I always say when you get called out by others for your perversions, you are just absolutely clueless. You really genuinely have no idea why the majority of people here find you repulsive. You think you can casually and blithely talk about sucking a cock through a hole in the wall or not wanting to spend time with your dying wife going through dialysis and not get judged on that.

Clueless.

Bravo.  ::)

Has a safe and fully effective vaccine ever been developed for a novel- coronavirus?

Also, herd immunity will be more of a nation saver in the end hence why people should be wearing masks out in public.

No vaccine has been developed yet as best as I know. I read in the newspaper today that the virologists are working on this via a test methodology for those who have recovered or were absent symptoms. When they get this worked out, it will be a game changer.

Let me get this straight, unless the Coronavirus kills more than any other virus in the history of mankind, it's not really a problem and nothing should be done to it.

Does that pretty much sums up your opinions?

One gets that impression from some folks. It's a ridiculous way for anyone too look at this pandemic.

Whistleblowing coronavirus doctor at Wuhan hospital mysteriously vanishes

By Amanda Woods

April 1, 2020

A Chinese doctor who claimed her bosses tried to silence her early warnings about coronavirus appears to have disappeared — stirring fears that she was detained, according to new reports.  Ai Fen had pointed out cases of the illness to colleagues at Wuhan Central Hospital, eight of whom were reprimanded themselves.


“Just two weeks ago the head of Emergency at Wuhan Central hospital went public, saying authorities had stopped her and her colleagues from warning the world,” the outlet tweeted. “She has now disappeared, her whereabouts unknown.”

In a now-deleted essay published in China’s People (Renwu) magazine titled “The one who supplied the whistle,” Ai detailed her boss’ efforts to silence her, RFA reported.

In the article, Ai said the reprimand came after she took a photo of a patient’s test results and circled the positive “SARS coronavirus” result in red.

China has been accused of attempting to cover up the coronavirus outbreak before the crisis escalated.

Back on Dec. 30, Dr. Li Wenliang — who worked with Ai and who died in early February — sent out a warning over the WeChat messaging app advising fellow med school grads to wear protective clothing to avoid infection after several patients from a local seafood market exhibited symptoms similar to SARS.

I still think we're dealing more with the potential no of deaths not the actual no of deaths.

But then, no number of deaths matters to you guys, it isn't a problem, and it cannot ever be a problem.

Am I wrong? Show me a number you're uncomfortable with.

How many potential deaths in the US in the next 3 months would you NOT be ok with and would have you agree that actions need to be taken.

That is not a fair question as you are asking someone to approve a certain number of deaths. The fact is that there is always a trade-off. If we lowered the speed limit to 25 mph and force car manufacturers to build cars like tanks then absolutely millions of lives would be saved. But we don't do that because the economic cost to society would not be worth. So it would be like me asking you that if you don't agree with these new standards then you don't care about human life. Because the suffering and deaths due to poverty are not as quantifiable as something like a pandemic it's always easy to make this kind of argument.

How many people that are forced to be homeless and no longer able to support themselves and their families are you comfortable with? How many businesses that fail and therefore unable to provide jobs and products our society needs are you comfortable with?

All of life are a series of trade-offs and it's rarely between good and bad but between bad and worse.

How about you? Do you still have a job? If so, lucky you. Screw those who don't. If you've been laid off and have no income coming in how long do you think you can last before you start thinking about your life and the other lives that are in your situation?

It’s really fascinating when you just look at the facts.

Here in the states we are still talking about not overwhelming the hospitals, which is good, but no one is able to get the equipment they need.

This virus is so devastating that it’s an emergency shut down of everything but we can’t figure out how to have a couple of production facilities stay in business and produce what we a actually need.....

Haven't you been following the news? That's exactly what we are doing. The auto industry are retooling to produce more ventilators. Others are retooling to produce face masks. I just saw on TV that a company that had to shut down found that they have to products to make hand sanitizers.
Title: Re: Coronavirus - We are all screwed - discuss
Post by: pellius on April 01, 2020, 04:35:52 PM
I don’t think anyone should die. Ever.

If we ban guns, for everyone: civilians, law enforcement and military that will cut down on deaths.

If we ban automobiles, again for everyone, that will cut down on deaths.

If we ban unhealthy food, like fried chicken dinner, deaths will be lowered. I wish we could ban heart disease and obesity. And Cancer.

Oh and abortions.

The real problem, chickendinner, is that the public and our leadership are being misled and manipulated. If the decision is to shut down the economy for the betterment of the country that is fine.

But we can’t do that and then have the Governor of New York say he can’t the respirators he needs FROM CHINA, the very country that introduced the disease, because he is bidding against 49 other states.

We also can’t read about an American company like Starbucks flying leadership into China to negotiate opening 6000 new stores while this is all going on.

So if you really think this is still about preserving lives there is nothing that anyone will say that can change your mind.

Good points but it is about saving lives which is why the cure can't be worse than the disease.

"Chinese scientific paper has been ignored, we now know the virus escaped from a Wuhan lab…" - Tucker Carlson

The coronavirus came from either the Wuhan CDC or Wuhan Institute of Virology. The study concluded the deadly virus came out of local laboratories in Hubei Province. The smoking gun in the study is the link to horseshoe bats which are not sold in local markets and not native to Wuhan.

Exactly! That's "classic joswift" to make moral equivalences with issues he knows nothing about.

He has zero experience and knowledge about China and the difference between its people and its government. The difference between Shanghai and Beijing and the majority of rural China. Yet, feels qualified to speak with authority in his customary arrogance and conceit, and exaggerated sense of innate brilliance.

I understand. But you just have to siphon through B.S. and try to make your best decision. Also, it can be entertaining. During his daily briefing, Trump brought up Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, as an example of how private industry is stepping up to help with the cause.
He has retooled and has already produced 50,000 new face masks. What was hilarious was how the Left went bonkers because Mike Lindell invoked God in his speech. Mike is a recovering drug addict and attributes God to saving him and getting a new lease on life.
Nothing about producing 50,000 facemasks and helping the country get through this, only his religious beliefs. I wonder what these Leftist are doing to help in this cause?

How Trump has contradicted himself, in his own words, on the coronavirus crisis

It appeared to be an attempt to rewrite history -- his own.

President Donald Trump took a newly dire tone at the latest White House briefing and contradicted many of his previous assessments on how he's talked about and handled the novel coronavirus.

It came as his White House medical experts unveiled their own death projections for the first time, revealing that they estimate the virus will kill 100,000 to 240,000 Americans at a minimum -- and only if the nation practices strict social distancing.

And that's being called the "best-case scenario."

Trump said the prospect of 100,000 deaths was "sobering" but then went on to call it "a very low number," compared to the 2.2. million it could have been if the U.S. did "ride it out" without mitigation efforts -- as he said some of his "friends" suggested. He cast it as a success of sorts.


While the coronavirus may have silently spread across the country for the past ten weeks, President Trump has insisted that the virus is "under control," and later suggested the economic fallout will be worse than the death toll.

Trump on Tuesday defended any prior rosy assessments about the coronavirus, describing himself as a "cheerleader for the country" who wants to "give people hope."

But all the mixed messaging has created confusion over how serious the situation really is.

Here are a few examples -- side by side -- of how he has contradicted himself -- in his own words:

From signaling U.S. cases ‘close to zero’ to 100K being "a very low number"

The president initially downplayed the impact the virus would have on Americans, telling CNBC on Jan. 22, two days after the first reported cases on American soil, that "it’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine."

Feb. 26 -- Coronavirus task force briefing: "We're going very substantially down, not up." the president said, as the number of Americans infected with the virus grew to 60. "When you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."
March 31 -- Coronavirus task force briefing: "A hundred thousand is, according to modeling, a very low number. I asked this a while ago, they said, ‘it's unlikely you will be able to attain that’ -- I think we are doing better than that," he said. "When you look at it could have been 2.2 million people died and more if we did nothing, if we just did nothing," adding the country has "done a great job."
From the virus will 'disappear' to the worst problem 'probably ever seen'

Trump previously suggested that coronavirus cases would drop as the weather warmed up. Now he’s signaling that 100,000 deaths would be considered a victory.

Feb. 27 -- Cabinet Room meeting: "One day -- it’s like a miracle -- it will disappear. And from our shores, we -- you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows," Trump said.
March 31 -- Coronavirus task force briefing: "I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead." Trump said he anticipates the pandemic will be "the worst thing the country has probably ever seen."

From several flu comparisons to ‘it’s not the flu’

While the number of infected Americans grew exponentially, President Trump repeatedly compared COVID-19 to the flu, even as health officials warned the novel virus appeared to be both more lethal and contagious. From his own packed rallies in February to just last Friday in the White House Briefing Room, the president said, "call it a flu."

Feb 26 -- Coronavirus task force briefing: "This is a flu. This is like a flu," Trump repeated. "It's a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
March 31 -- Coronavirus task force briefing: President Trump acknowledged for the first time, "it’s not the flu. It’s vicious."

From "packed churches" on Easter to "very painful" two weeks ahead

When stocked tumbled and jobless claims broke records last week, the president urged Americans to get back to work and insisted the country wasn’t built to be closed. Even after the White House initially proposed its social distancing guidelines on March 16, Trump more vocal in the coming days that the country "wasn't built to be shut down" -- an argument he has appeared to have since dropped.

I understand. But you just have to siphon through B.S. and try to make your best decision. Also, it can be entertaining. During his daily briefing, Trump brought up Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, as an example of how private industry is stepping up to help with the cause.
He has retooled and has already produced 50,000 new face masks. What was hilarious was how the Left went bonkers because Mike Lindell invoked God in his speech. Mike is a recovering drug addict and attributes God to saving him and getting a new lease on life.
Nothing about producing 50,000 facemasks and helping the country get through this, only his religious beliefs. I wonder what these Leftist are doing to help in this cause?

I did hear about this as well. I was actually impressed Mike Lindell called for America to turn back to God. I’m sure he’s mocked but good for him living out his faith. Dudes lived an insane life.

How you shove your gay and sexual agenda down everyone's throats here. You think it's a coincidence that the only gay person that the majority of the people on this board have an issue with is with YOU!

Oh, I'm sorry, you weren't talking to me and I just "horned" in. What a hypocritical prissy little phag you are. Inserting yourself into everything that goes on here is what you mainly do. And this is a public forum. People bring up subjects or discuss topics and everybody is free to jump in. What a crybaby soggy, old, queer you are. I thought you said you were having fun with me? Sure you are. That's what everybody says when they are getting their ass handed to them which I do with you on a regular basis.

And you want me to go back and list all the offensive posts you've made on this board? Really?

Like I always say when you get called out by others for your perversions, you are just absolutely clueless. You really genuinely have no idea why the majority of people here find you repulsive. You think you can casually and blithely talk about sucking a cock through a hole in the wall or not wanting to spend time with your dying wife going through dialysis and not get judged on that.

1000 deaths two days in the row now for US, that is twice as many as 2 days ago and 4 times as many as a week ago.



That’s good news then! 1000 deaths on consecutive days isn’t exponential growth. It’s zero growth.Then again twice as many from two days ago is only geometric growth, not even close to an exponential function. Looking at these numbers you posted it’s practically arithmetic growth- nothing to worry about epidemiologically.

See inside the first coronavirus field hospital being set up in N.J.


As cases of the coronavirus continue to rise and hospitals begin becoming overloaded with patients, New Jersey is preparing to open its first pop-up field hospital to help handle the surge.

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has been constructing the site at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus. Officials say it should open sometime next week.

Three other sites will follow — in Edison, Atlantic City, and another to be determined. Each will have 250 beds.

It can’t come soon enough. New Jersey has at least 22,255 cases of COVID 19, including 355 deaths. That’s the second-most in the U.S., after New York state.

Meanwhile, state Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said Wednesday hospitals in North Jersey are already beginning to see a surge in patients, with seven hospitals reporting “divert” status on Tuesday.

Persichilli continued to express confidence the state will be able to handle the surge, but she stressed the state needs more ventilators.

She also said the new Secaucus field hospital will be available for “lower-acuity patients who can be safely transferred” there. That would free up more space at existing hospitals for coronavirus patients.

I think you’re a better guy than you get credit for on here and I know you enjoy stirring the pot but sometimes you’re a little peculiar.

I always knew I was a little peculiar. -Needed someone to remind me. As for being a better person than I get credit for being....that's debatable.  ;D

In the sense that the virus had to start somewhere and it appears to have begun in China at this point, I you are correct. China did screw the whole world. Guess that's better than if it started in the U.S. and it was us who screwed the whole world. Gotta look at the bright side of things.

If you go from 1,000 deaths on Monday and adding then another 1,000 death on Tuesday isn't that growth, as in the growth of people dying? Just like if I made $1,000 on Monday and another $1,000 on Tuesday isn't my income increasing, i.e., growing?

That’s what you call linear growth. Pandemics usually exponentially grow then plateau for a bit like you suggest then exponentially decay.  Problem we are facing at the moment is simply kicking the can down the road until a vaccine is manufactured.  Lifting quarantine in times of an exponential decay could lead us back to square one.

If relax extreme curtailment measures, then exponential rate of spread increases again, so hospitalizations increase again.  If don’t relax it then strangle the economy into a Great Depression and more people die of pestilence than from the virus. This is way too exaggerated to make sense.  This is too convenient and organised.

I received txts today of construction workers being fined by the police 1600$ For eating lunch too close together.  Keep chipping away at humanities morale and lock them in cages, see what the end result curtails.  The only thing that prevents an implosion our debt bubble, fractional reserves economies is the Public confidence in them.  Once the stampede for the exits of trust are triggered in the herd it could be a rout of epic proportions.

You are correct. I meant to say "rate of" growth. All epidemics show exponential growth in the beginning because no one has immunity yet and the virus is its original form. As it spreads a few things happen: 1) the pool of people with no antibodies will shrink 2) people who have it and get very sick will stop moving about and 3) the virus will mutate - often to a less dangerous form. So the growth rate plateaus and then decreases. This is the basis for what is generically "Farr's Law "

ebola spreads to as many people but they show symptoms almost immediately and most of them die, stopping outbreaks early.Same with sars and mers showing symptoms early, so its easy to isolate and stop spread.

The real kicker with Covid19 is some people are not showing symptoms til weeks later,while still spreading, making it almost impossible to stop unless you lockdown. So you either lockdown everyone and the economy crashes, or you let it run wild and eventually hospitals get overloaded, and then the knock on effects crash the economy.Thats why its a mix of lockdown then back to work, keeping the curve flat.

I think there is a good chance hydroxychloroquine will be proven to work, plus when tests are available everywhere, then this lockdown will end.

It is a real patent.  It has absolutely nothing to do with Covid 19. 


Really, what makes you think that, do you know why Covid19 is so named?

Game Changer – On Hydroxy Azithromycin combo – SUCCESS. Looks like the virus can be beaten quickly

”Dr. Stephen Smith, an infectious disease specialist, on using hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin combo to treat #COVID19 patients:

ebola spreads to as many people but they show symptoms almost immediately and most of them die, stopping outbreaks early.Same with sars and mers showing symptoms early, so its easy to isolate and stop spread.

The real kicker with Covid19 is some people are not showing symptoms til weeks later,while still spreading, making it almost impossible to stop unless you lockdown. So you either lockdown everyone and the economy crashes, or you let it run wild and eventually hospitals get overloaded, and then the knock on effects crash the economy.Thats why its a mix of lockdown then back to work, keeping the curve flat.

I think there is a good chance hydroxychloroquine will be proven to work, plus when tests are available everywhere, then this lockdown will end.
Imagine if Ebola was running through the population like Covid19.  Seeing the panic a 1% killer produces people would be absolutely batshit crazy if a killer like Ebola was effecting so many.

No, I told you so. I posted this  before the story came out. “Generous”😂😂😂


At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.



Why have so many coronavirus patients died in Italy?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/have-many-coronavirus-patients-died-italy/

BySarah Newey,
 GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY CORRESPONDENT
23 March 2020

According to Prof Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, the country’s mortality rate is far higher due to demographics - the nation has the second oldest population worldwide - and the manner in which hospitals record deaths.


“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus


“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says.

Smallest, Shortest book in the world, Italian war heros.

No one said it wasn't bad, your third world shite hole was unprepared as your a lazy siesta state population, research your own coroner reports only 30% have the virus on the death certificates, as they died by other causes, yes the states is bad that was always going to happen when you dont have universal health care system, its as bad as having one like yours under invested in as the population is old, your country is drowning in old retired people, young taxpayers can't pay enough taxes to support greater investment as you dont have any jobs only welfare . Your situation and europes is more about their government systems than anything, its very sad younger hard working people dying to save old people, and I'm not that young myself.

People like you and Army make me sick, we told you so, there is treatment that works in many cases, you need to access the treatment before you get to ventilator stage and you need to have some life left in you, if your shite hole of a country won't approve a drug for use or can't supply it as it isn't approved for use in a new virus and needs a study done first thats your fault. This virus will kill lots of people mainly old people with less than a few years left with already a low quality of life. Yes there will be others as well, in life people die we are not immune. This virus is doing what nature has always done killing of the old and weak.

But you were right and you warned us. enjoy your moment.

I'd say it depends on how many have already been infected/have immunity to covid19.

They are guessing it could be anything from 1mill to 10mill. Might as well go for herd immunity if it's the latter as it's nearly 1/3 the way there already. London is probably half way there.

The first minor in NYC with a case of the coronavirus has died

The city reported the death of its first patient under the age of 18 on Monday. Like the vast majority of patients who have passed away, the city reported that the minor had an underlying condition. Of the 790 deaths in the city, 777 patients had underlying conditions, which, according to the city’s definition, include diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, and asthma.

In addition to “age”, compare obesity, diabetes, and high BMI stats against C-19 cases and deaths.

The article mentions that the number of people who reported  to the hospital because of flu has tripled since last year but that’s obviously because of the last month of being pummeled by the media and the government. What the article doesn’t mention is the total number of deaths in NYC this year compared to last year. I’d bet it’s pretty close.

Over the course of 31 days (from March 1 to March 31), the coronavirus killed more than 1,500 people in the tri-state, the vast majority of which were in New York. Of the 1,342 people who died in the state, 914 were in New York City.

New York had 4,749 deaths as a result of influenza and pneumonia in 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control (statistics for 2019 were not available). The New York City Department of Health said that roughly 2,000 of those deaths happen within the five boroughs every year.

Here’s the thing. Corona could be anything or nothing at all. That’s what makes the numbers so easy to fudge.  Anyone with a positive test reading can be declared having died from corona even if they had several other underlying illnesses. That’s the case in both Italy and NYC. I believe total deaths year over year would be the number that would tell the story the best.



https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/04/have-i-already-had-coronavirus-covid-19-how-would-i-know

Dr William Hillmann: At this point, we don’t have a test to tell that. We are developing antibody tests to check for a prior infection, but those aren’t ready for clinical use yet. The only definitive way to know that you’ve had it is to get tested while you have it and to have that test be positive.
Could I have had it and been asymptomatic?

Hillmann: Coronavirus is actually quite a significant spectrum of symptoms, from people who are entirely asymptomatic and would have no idea that they have it to people with very mild, cold-like symptoms – runny nose, congestion, sore throat – to people with more flu-like symptoms – high fevers, muscle aches, shortness of breath and cough. All the way up to people with severe illness, who we’re seeing in the hospital with respiratory failure, requiring ICU care.

N.J. will get 70K masks to help fight coronavirus after feds bust ‘hoarding situation’


New Jersey will soon get more N95 masks and other much-needed personal protective equipment to help fight the coronavirus outbreak after a federal bust of a “significant PPE hoarding situation” in Brooklyn, Gov. Phil Murphy said Saturday.

Federal authorities seized hundreds of thousands of personal protective equipment items that are desperately needed by healthcare workers and first responders testing or treating people for the virus

Murphy said the state will receive more than 70,000 N95 masks and 5,000 gloves, among other PPE, from the site. The governor thanked U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Craig Carpenito and Newark FBI Special Agent in Charge Greg Ehrie for their efforts in securing the equipment.

The governor made the announcement at his daily coronavirus press briefing after noting that COVID-19 has now killed 846 people in New Jersey, which is more than the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attack, which killed 704.

New Jersey now has at least 34,124 cases of the illness, officials said Saturday. The state of 9 million people has the second-most cases among U.S. states, after New York.

Murphy said he spoke with Vice President Mike Pence on Friday night and stressed that the state needs more supplies from the federal government — including 1,650 more ventilators.

In an effort to increase social distancing and curb the spread of the virus, Murphy has ordered residents to stay home, banned social gatherings, and mandated that non-essential businesses in the state close until further notice.

State Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said hospitals in the northern half of New Jersey are already seeing a surge in patients with the virus, with some having to divert patients to other facilities.

Murphy has said he expects the fallout from the virus to last “deep into May.”

I think the BIGGEST thing everyone is missing is that the death rate from COVID is closer to .00005 Percent as literally NOBODY is getting tested.

There must be millions upon millions of cases of COVID going untested, they recover and nobody is the wiser.

If you have symptoms but are in the 80% that never go to the hospital you will most likely never get tested.

Most of the people getting tested are those admitted to hospitals.

Call your local doctor (who is most likely closed) and try to get a test.. go ahead.. I'll wait.

Yes, current statistics are biased.

Covid-19 mortality rate is being calculated based on the number of confirmed cases, but as you mentioned, people with mild or no symptons at all just don't get tested.

From what I've read, there's not enough data to infer the real number of cases, but some experts think it can be around 10 times the number of confirmed cases. That would put the mortality rate around 1 in 1000, not 1 in 2 millions as you suggested.

The problem is that a small percentage of a really big number is still a big number.

Covid-19 is already wreaking havoc in countries with weak healthcare systems, even with lock downs being implemented.

There's a shortage of masks, PPE's, Covid-19 tests, ventilators, etc. Every single country wants these items and you cannot properly manage the disease without them.

The first minor in NYC with a case of the coronavirus has died

The city reported the death of its first patient under the age of 18 on Monday. Like the vast majority of patients who have passed away, the city reported that the minor had an underlying condition. Of the 790 deaths in the city, 777 patients had underlying conditions, which, according to the city’s definition, include diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, and asthma.

I asked my trt doctor last year about what he thought about me taking anavar as I'm getting older and having a much harder time maintaining strength and muscle. He told me (again this was sometime last year so things may have changed) that there has been a halt to any importation of anavar as it all comes from China and they have discovered impurities in them.

What a surprise. I hope this whole coronavirus thing really opens our eyes to our dependency on China. They are not our friend and can't be trusted. Obviously we can't do it overnight but hopefully, people will be more aware of stuff coming out of China and avoid it as much as possible.

You need to think of covid19 as an accelerant, not as the cause of the death.

If it was allowed to spread through a population without any measures in place then we can assume bodies will pile up. People would soon be too scared to turn up for work so the economy would be wrecked anyway. Hospitals and morgues would be closed, vital services gone, mass graves, basically it would be mayhem.

Staggering the virus in waves and hoping to get lucky with a vaccine and/or treatment is the safest bet. At the very least this first wave with the lockdown buys time. We might find that the virus burns out quicker than current data suggests so that it might be defeated in 2 or 3 waves. Doing nothing would be like sitting in an apartment whilst next door was on fire and hoping for the best.

1900 of those people die according to NY stats (link above)

There are a few issues with your calculation.

You're using the number of tests, not the number of positive tests.

There're roughly 110k confirmed cases in NY, with 3500 deaths.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52168682

If the total number of cases is 5 times the number of confirmed cases, the death rate is 1 in 157.

3500/550000 * 100 = 0.64%

If the total number of cases is 10 times the number of confirmed cases, the death rate is 1 in 315.

3500/1100000 * 100 = 0.32%

I think your assumption of .0005 percent might be off slightly.  If the death rate were truly .00005 percent, and the entire world became infected (7.6 billion), that would give a total of 3800 deaths.  I'm pretty sure there have been a few more deaths than 3800.   :-\

Quote
Fox News‘ Brit Hume has posted a clip of Dr. Fauci speaking to News Max reporter Greg Kelly on January 21. Kelly addresses Fauci, “Bottom line. We don’t have to worry about this one, right?”

Fauci replies, “Well, obviously you need to take it seriously. And do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing, but this is not a major threat for the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.”

That’s what Trump was hearing from Dr. Fauci, an expert, a man who has served as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.

I yield to no one in admiration of Dr. Fauci. But this comment from January 21 should be kept in mind by those accusing anyone in the U.S. of failing to act in time against Covid 19. Watch it all the way through: pic.twitter.com/wCBHT1wfdr

Tucker hits faulty Fauci for suggesting ‘national suicide’ while enjoying ‘bulletproof job security’.

Quote
Tucker Carlson took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci Friday night for his recommendation of a national stay-at-home order. The straight-talking Fox News host said that following his suggestions for long-term social distancing “would be national suicide” based on the economic hardships that are already resulting.

Carlson offered praise and his personal respect for Fauci’s well-established credentials and professional medical career before pointing out, “that does not mean that he’s never wrong. On the question of this pandemic, Fauci has been wrong repeatedly. “On January 21st, he appeared on television, for example, to reassure the public that the Wuhan coronavirus was not worth worrying about.”

Carlson offered praise and his personal respect for Fauci’s well-established credentials and professional medical career before pointing out, “that does not mean that he’s never wrong. On the question of this pandemic, Fauci has been wrong repeatedly. “On January 21st, he appeared on television, for example, to reassure the public that the Wuhan coronavirus was not worth worrying about.”

“To be clear, we are not attacking Tony Fauci for getting it wrong on coronavirus,” said Carlson. “Most people did get it wrong, in and out of medicine. It’s never easy predicting which faraway problems will become imminent crises here at home. Even the experts make big mistakes. They’re human beings. They make human mistakes. And that is exactly the point that we ought to remember going forward. Human beings frequently underestimate risk, particularly risk on the horizon. Then they very often, in turn, overreact to risk once they identify it, and we may be watching that happen right now.”

“Two months ago,” he continued, “Anthony Fauci told us not to worry about this epidemic. Now he is demanding that the federal government quarantine the entire country.” Carlson pointed out that several state officials have followed suit by extending their shutdowns months into the future already.

“More than 10 million Americans have already lost their jobs. Imagine another year of this,” said Carlson. “That would be national suicide, and yet, that is what Anthony Fauci is suggesting, at least. Now, we’re not suggesting Fauci wants to hurt America. We don’t think he does. He seems like a very decent man. But Fauci is not an economist or for that matter someone who fears being unemployed himself. … Fauci has bulletproof job security. He’s not thinking that way. He has the luxury of looking at the world through the narrow lens of his profession. He doesn’t seem to think much outside that lens.

At this point, there’s no sense in even knocking your brains out about this. It’s a smokescreen to cover up the real reason as I stated: currency devaluation and an economic reset.

Even Trump himself hasn’t been looking too good lately on his press conferences  I think it’s getting to him as he knows it’s a work.

The elephant in the room with your conspiracy is that the actions are being determined by health, not by finance.

The decision to shut down and protect lives is being driven by the health side, not the banks. Trump doesn't want to shut down but he has no choice because if he doesn't do it and millions of Americans die, he will forever be labelled as a genocidal maniac.

Or are you saying all of the medical field across the globe are in on it with all of the bankers across the globe and between them all they managed to keep the secret?

Lol.  Get the fcuk out of here.  What’s next, disregarding a previous high blood pressure diagnosis when crunching heart.  Lol.  I’ve reread a few of your commentst, and I still have no idea what you’re talking about.  Any point or argument you’re trying to communicate is lost on me.  Get yourself together man, you’re all over the place

The drugs are long established drugs already tried & tested.
It does work from all the reports from different countries - Dr Stephen Smith was on US TV
News just a couple of days ago saying it was a Game changer.

Research it on the Internet.

Why oh Why is everyone so scared of Dying as that’s the worst outcome

Simple unavoidable Fact. Try Disputing that one 🙄

It's hasn't been tried and tested on covid19 patients, that's what they are doing now and that's why they need time. Even if it is a game changer they still won't be able to let the virus spread uncontrolled through the population because there just isn't enough hospital capacity/staff to treat those kinda numbers. To ensure treatment is delivered to everyone they will still need to maintain this lockdown for a few more weeks, continue social distancing for a few more months and more than likely another lockdown will be needed at the end of the year.

It has nothing to do with my own fear as I'm pretty sure I've had the virus back in Feb with minimal symptoms. I'm on paid furlough, my expenses are minimal and I have years of savings at hand. I could comfortably sit this situation out for years.

Same things you describe would happen if the virus spread uncontrollably through a large population. Only this time the masses would be pissed at the government for doing nothing. At least right now they are seeing some action from the governments.

The treatment may indeed work, but they aren't certain of that yet.

What if they let everyone get infected and then gave everyone treatment and it does work, or worse ends up increasing the number of dead because of side effects. Drugs aren't perfect, in some cases they cause worse issues than they treat. The need time to make sure it's effective and safe.

So immediate death is seen as better than death from sides effects years later, its OK man, in all honesty that's why people are dying and that's why I have my hydroxychloroquine and azithromyocin as i dont trust government as they think similar to yourself i bought both drugs on the net over a month maybe 6 weeks ago, there're also HIV drugs kamera thats are working, along with Ivermectin etc.

People are dying due to herd incompetence not herd immunity, they are still dying as worldwide supply has dried up as countries look to nationalise supplies, Governments have thought like you do, until the body count got up high enough. Now the position of managing  from a position of potential liability which all western governments mange from has changed as some governments and countries have little to no mortality compared to others and the difference is treatment. So now all the high body count nations have to look at themselves and think how many must die before we change practice, they have changed now but cannot secure supply.

This virus and the treatment options cannot save the very old who were dying anyway, and you need to get the drugs into you if your old before you get to far gone, yes drugs are being rationed due to lack of doses, basically if your not old and sick which is the high risk group they dont want to give it to you and in a few cases this has caused death, as you need to get the treatment into you before you get to respirator stage in most cases.

No doubt it is bad but ask yourselves how did the world health community let so many die when there was already viral medication available thats just wasn't approved to treat a new virus, wouldn't you think you would check existing drugs, before looking to new.

The WHO is as incompetent as the UN.

Dont trust your government, we all have to to a point, but do what you can outside of that trust to save yourself and others, never underestimate the incompetence, no different to not owning a gun as the police have them to protect us. They can't be trusted with our health and this crisis demonstrates thats.

The hoarding doesn't really matter,as as far as I'm aware they are dirt cheap drugs to produce and not complex, and only costs 4 dollars or so for the dose that beats Covid.Doesnt look to be an issue to set all the factories that can to produce a dose for every westerner alive to do so.900million people in the west x 4 dollars, roughly 4 billion dollars.Thats peanuts.All we need now is for enough studies to come in to set this production in motion.Its places like Africa, south America etc that might struggle infrastructure wise to get the doses out,and the west and richer east countries would take priority.

Nations which are basically on war footing can't afford to keep people alive who are gonna be a societal drain, but at the same time they can't be seen as uncaring and just let people die.

The lockdowns and people not social distancing lets governments shift the blame back on the public, effectively meaning they are policing themselves. But those measures do actually work!

There is gonna be a body count at the end of this regardless. The chances of their being a government at the end of this increases dramatically by not letting the virus burn through the population.

I meant they were hoarding because it has been known for a while that it could be effective.

Again though all this needs time which is what the lockdown affords us. That's what some people aren't getting right now. They will also probably look to mass trail the drugs in africa and india before using it on the west. Again we need time.

Global supply is the issue at hand and globalisation, so many companies have folded as monopolies have been achieved by globalists, who will now struggle to manufacture requirement. As their business model is profit motivated not prevent global epidemic model, anothervreason to ditch globalisation in favour of nations ones this passes, none of the multi nationals pay tax anyway they just dodge it, hopefully this will be the rebirth of nationalism.

I agree with you the lockdown and social distancing is helping us buy time, but the real deal is a vaccine, which looks to be a while away, some studies are turning up indifferent results as the virus basically turns your body immune system against itself, whilst its been mapped, the results aren't consistent, meaning a vaccine can be more dangerous to some people than actually catching it from some limited studies I have been able to research.

The chances of dying by being shot if you are black and living in Chicago is 1 in 1000 but I don't see anyone closing the entire city down over it.


Do you drive a car? well... did you know you have a 2 out of 3 chance of being involved in a drunk driving accident in your lifetime? BAN CARS!!









No. The entire world is closing down because there is a virus that is so new to science they don't have any idea how far the pandemic will go. A lifetime can be a last longer than 70 years. This virus has infected over a million folks and has killed tens of thousands of people in a couple of months . If the odds of getting shot in certain parts of Chicago are extremely high, you can always move. You cannot move away from COVID-19 because it is everywhere.

So, how may patients are hospitalized? What capacity are hospitals at? Ventilator capacity? Patient demographics?

It seems that the hospital ships aren't being flooded with regular patients because there is still capacity at hospitals. Same with the "Pop Up" facilities in California.

So the doom and apocalypse projections aren't coming to fruition.

April 30th - Rescind the federal restrictions, leave it up to the states.

 Federal guidelines as such:
Wear mask
Wash hands constantly
Keep distance from other people
Shelter and protect the most vulnerable (older, multiple ailments  etc)
Continue to work from home if possible.
Hardest hit states (New York, New Jersey) carry current heavy handed lock downs and travel restrictions.

Or just wait until we can hyper-inflate and print our way out of existing debt. Take your pick, I guess.

A Reddit user named RemoteControlledUser asked this question:

    What changes are we going to have to make to how businesses operate to maintain our economy while providing social distancing?

Bill Gates’ answer:

    The question of which businesses should keep going is tricky. Certainly food supply and the health system. We still need water, electricity and the internet. Supply chains for critical things need to be maintained. Countries are still figuring out what to keep running.

    Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.

pneumonia deaths are probably the same as usual.... because if Covid-19 is detected, the cause of death is listed as Covid-19... as with any other deaths where Covid-19 is present...
Gotta keep those Rona numbers bumped up, keep the panic and fear going through the TV, keep the government in control of your movements, can't do that if the people know this isn't nearly as fatal as the media is portraying it.

Well.. its a good thing Pneumonia isn't a problem this year  ???

There you go. The chart is fake. Confirmation bias much?


Number of deaths is quite similar to previous years.

As a % of number of deaths is also similar to previous years.

Flu stats started early and are now dropping, rising up to xmas and then declining, notice last years rise and fall
looks to me like the early flu diagnosis may have been covid19 before they knew what it was

Actually, it's not all that similar. Flu deaths seem to be. Pneumonia is not if you use the interactive graph and have fallen during peak season in comparison to previous years.

Percent number of deaths doesn't matter as that is kind of the point. If it was as much of a killer as it is supposedly is, then deaths would be dramatically up. They are not and actually significantly down across the nation.


Total deaths from this year: 40,000.
2019: 57,000
2018: 56,000
2017: 57,000
2016: 54,000
2015: 53,000
2014: 52,000

Looks like whoever made that graph should have the 2019-2020 graph closer to the 3000 line and tried to make it more dramatic though.

This is disturbing as well and (once again) there are not a hysteria worthy amount of deaths anyway. Ask an honest doctor what they think about these guidelines and how they can skew the numbers.

Why would you remove people with pre-existing conditions from the statistics? ???

Are you trying to imply Covid-19 it's not a big deal because most healthy, young people don't die from it?

It's the sheer number of people with and without pre-existing conditions what saturates the healthcare system.



Maybe he's asking why the focus of isolation isn't on those people. 

There must be a good answer, and it'd help if more of us could understand it (that answer).

You know, my general assumption in this sort of situation is that if something seems very obvious to me but not obvious to a bunch of people who do something like this professionally, the issue is usually that I’m lacking some important context or piece of knowledge that they have.

The data input can be correct but this is why when something bucks a trend the data owner needs to investigate to validate the data and then stand up to scrutiny when questioned over why it changed.

Without context i could say there were less older people that year (old and Pne go together), the weather was much warmer than usual, a health care shortage mean less people were diagnosed, a new vaccine was created and drastically reduced cases etc.   In other words, it's pretty damn useless.

Hope that might help?

No, he claims Covid-19 is a hoax.

But I get your point.

From what I've read, there are some countries who are just isolating the elderly, in the hopes that young people will tolerate the disease and build herd immunity. A few countries like Brazil have decided to not do anything about it, no lockdowns, no restrictions, nada.

Not sure how that will work out.

Apparently, experts think Coronavirus can end up infecting too many people at once, in which case, even if you isolate the vulnerable you still end up overwhelming the system.

I think countries who are not following the WHO guidelines will serve as a good (but not perfect) indicator of if lockdowns were necessary at all.

CDC Tells Hospitals To List COVID as Cause of Death Even if You're Just Assuming or It Only Contributed.

Quote
The problem with making informed decisions about coronavirus is that we don’t have a whole lot of data on it at the moment.

The data that we do have, meanwhile, could end up being terminally skewed, particularly the data that’s been coming out of China.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on determining COVID-19 as a cause of death isn’t going to help those numbers.

Issued March 24, the guidance tells hospitals to list COVID-19 as a cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case.

Instead, even if the coronavirus was just a contributing factor or if it’s “assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” it can be listed as the primary cause.

I didn't know that about Brazil.  That does seem crazy, at least at first glance.  Just due to the number of elderly, if nothing else.  I will look into it right now.

To be fair to Thin Lizzy, though, he's made some good points and his posts have actually improved my mood (this is depressing for most of us, i'm sure).   Also his questions about the timeline have gone unanswered from what I've seen.

Without questions, there's absolute gullibility. So yeah, questioning is good. It is best though when someone clarifies that it is a question and not a statement. Some of us older more senile folks get confused otherwise.  ;D

Not sure a response can be a hoax in this case. A hoax is a humorous or malicious deception. Over responding doesn't seem either humorous or malicious and it is based more on perception than deception.

Destruction of the economy without clear explanation could be seen as malicious, and increasing danger to the vulnerable by not focusing our limited resources on them can also be seen as malicious.

The Virus isn’t a Hoax - I believe it’s real & Dangerous.
There’s enough info out there all saying very much the same things.
These are the High Risk People
1. The Elderly Especially with underlying health issues
2. People with Diabetes
3. Those overweight/ obese
4. Those with heart / lung issues

It is Predominantly those in that group who are in ICU & a percentage of those are Dying.
Unfortunately they would also be highly at risk from the Flu Virus.

There are Known & Now used Medications that work within 2-4days On Majority of people.
Isolating those in the High Risk category’s Is Definitely a Good & Sensible Idea.
Isolating everyone & shutting nearly everything down is Not a Good Idea & as time goes on
More & more are questioning the validity & Reasons as all are bing effected by this response
And Very Few in a Positive Way.

Unfortunately some young & otherwise healthy people may/will die that will be a tiny %
No not at all pleasant if it’s one of our nearest & dearest - Though there’s always a risk
We will die of something unexpected from accident to health issues.

I’m not buying this 100% have to isolate & Lockdown Etc Business is entirely necessary

100% Exactly


Actually just found out from a close older friend that his mom just passed.

She's been in a 24 hour care nursing home in NYC for the last year since her husband passed.

Prior week got diagnosed with COVID (she's in her mid 90's and been in poor health)

This last Friday the nurses said she fully recovered from the virus - all symptoms gone (no cough, full oxygen levels, no fever, nothing)

This morning (Sunday) her heart just gave out.


-- Was listed as dying from COVID

WTF?


My friend is the first one that still says this whole locking down of the global economy is a sham and continues to see empty hospitals in NYC even though his mother died

Its a global scam and the sheep are eating it up

I don't disagree with you. Germany supposedly has a very low percentage of deaths from the novel coronavirus. Why do you suppose this is? I just today saw a photo of a Munich street with almost no one present and those few who were, were all wearing masks. In contrast their was a photo of a U.S. city street in a location where people are supposed to be staying home. The street was crowded with people almost none of which were wearing any visible protective gear. Could it be that some people are taking this more seriously than others?

How is it where you are? Are there many people out and about and are they wearing masks? Where I live, it seems like there is an abundance of people at the grocery store and only a few are wearing any manner of protection. So far, I've been one of them, since I've yet to wear the mask my son-in-law gave me. One of my stupid reasons for this is that it is a hospital grade mask and I feel like people will question why I have one when they are in very short supply and should be reserved for others who are on the front lines.

I think some wear a mask so the paranoid freaks around them don't spaz out.

No, but also if one has it (but isn't with symptoms, so wouldn't know) it might keep a vulnerable person safe.

I don't disagree with you. Germany supposedly has a very low percentage of deaths from the novel coronavirus. Why do you suppose this is? I just today saw a photo of a Munich street with almost no one present and those few who were, were all wearing masks. In contrast their was a photo of a U.S. city street in a location where people are supposed to be staying home. The street was crowded with people almost none of which were wearing any visible protective gear. Could it be that some people are taking this more seriously than others?

How is it where you are? Are there many people out and about and are they wearing masks? Where I live, it seems like there is an abundance of people at the grocery store and only a few are wearing any manner of protection. So far, I've been one of them, since I've yet to wear the mask my son-in-law gave me. One of my stupid reasons for this is that it is a hospital grade mask and I feel like people will question why I have one when they are in very short supply and should be reserved for others who are on the front lines.   


I live in a small village & a town a couple of miles away - not many folk out couples / dog walkers/ & runners you see - most people I see are keeping a distance if they talk to somebody- Not many wearing masks around here probably 2 out of 10 at most - see a few more wearing them in the stores.

This whole thing is a fraud. ::)

New York may already be at apex of cases… – Cuomo



Direct link:
https://youtu.be/J3npY02SECs (https://youtu.be/J3npY02SECs)

Reporter asks ‘you are using only 16,000 beds, and you said you would need at least 110,000.’ As Tucker Carlson discussed Friday night, hospitalization rates nationwide are only about 15-20% of what the models predicted. ::)

Fraud is the correct term:

We’re starting to get a picture of where these cases (positive test results) are occurring.

In my estimation, Chinese nationals would come to New York City for two reasons: business or tourism. Neither of those involve going to the fucking South Bronx. However, I’m sure someone, including the naive doofuses on this board, will come up with some idiotic excuse for why there’s more cases there than in Manhattan where the Chinese nationals would actually go.

BRONX RESIDENTS TWICE AS LIKELY TO DIE FROM COVID-19 IN NYC

http://thecity.nyc/2020/04/bronx-residents-twice-as-likely-to-die-from-covid-19-in-nyc.html


In The Bronx, which has long grappled with lower-than-average life expectancy and high incidence of chronic health conditions like asthma and diabetes, those infected with coronavirus die at a rate three times higher than those who live just a river away in Manhattan.

“Manhattan has more people but The Bronx has more than double the fatalities from COVID-19,” noted Councilmember Ritchie Torres (D-The Bronx), who tested positive for the virus last month and has asthma.

Pre-existing Conditions
Public health experts say it’s likely The Bronx’s elevated death rate is tied to the borough’s high rates of diabetes, asthma and hypertension, some of the nine illnesses linked with coronavirus complications.

Despite longtime efforts by health advocates and elected officials to change course, the borough ranks last among New York State’s 62 counties in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s survey of health outcomes, including premature death.

Can I ask a question?

Considering the main epicenters of Covid-19 in the USA so far have been Washington, New York and New Jersey, why precisely are those governors and legislators not being scrutinized for the situation?


Instead, the focus seems to be only on other states run by Republicans.

You want a good comparison?

Here's one.

New York and Florida have a similar population size.

The current situation between the two is as follows:

New York
Total Covid-19 cases: 123,018
Total Covid-19 deaths: 4,159

Florida
Total Covid-19 cases: 12,350
Total Covid-19 deaths: 221

I would also point out that Florida also has a much larger elderly population.

So New York, despite having a similar population to Florida (smaller actually) has ten times the number of cases eighteen times the number of deaths.

Maybe Mayer de Blasio should have not been so vocal about telling New Yorkers to just go about their lives and that Covid-19 wasn't something to be concerned about?

And yes, you can find video of this on youtube.

The numbers are a scam just like everything else. CDC guidelines require that any deaths in the presence of a corona positive test be listed as dying because of corona. The same thing was done in Italy.

The reason you’re seeing the outsized numbers in New York City is because that’s where the powers that be want the newly printed money funneled.

Far be it for me to stick up for De Blasio, but if what we were told was true and it was so contagious, people would’ve been dropping dead in January and February when there no restrictions in place. They weren’t. That’s why there was little concern at the time. The numbers only started spiking when they started large scale testing and labeling every death with a Corona positive test as “Complications” of Corona.

That’s how the testing scam works. It also explains why there are so many positives without symptoms.

Currently, there is no mainstream explanation for this.

When California had its first homeless person die on March 17, the individual tested positive almost 2 weeks prior, the thought was they were going to soon start stacking bodies from the homeless community.

Surprisingly the death toll never took off. Somehow the community that was the most close knit, in terms of the proximity of the living conditions, least sanitary with little personal hygiene and would have the least amount of protection against a respiratory infection was not obliterated.

Obviously this is a serious issue but it’s not what they’ve made it out to be in.

Nice try, that’s not exactly a “tiny home”.  I meant given your living situation, with your daughter and grandchildren and soon to be great grandchild, it might be safer for you to be on your own in a small place as opposed to your current home.

I referred to the tiny homes because Oregon has a tiny home community set up for homeless people. They are transition homes.

Stay safe. Weirdo.

Americans Are Excessively Eating, Drinking, Smoking Pot, Playing Video Games And Watching Porn While Quarantined


Since you’re at home under quarantine and surfing social media out of boredom, you have probably come across this coronavirus hustle-porn tweet or something similar:

If you don’t come out of this quarantine with either:

1.) a new skill
2.) starting what you’ve been putting off like a new business
3.) more knowledge

You didn’t ever lack the time, you lacked the discipline


Whether the tweet was meant to be motivational or self-serving, the message is a tone-deaf directive to the millions of Americans who are desperately trying to cope with their new challenging reality.

Ten million people have filed for unemployment over the last couple of weeks of March. It's predicted by the Federal Reserve Bank that nearly 50 million people will lose their jobs by the summertime. People are frantically worrying that they will be unable to make their rent or mortgage payments. Some fear that they may lose their jobs. Parents are stressing over how to work at home, while educating and keeping their children busy now that the schools are closed.

If you have the luxury to not worry about finances and don’t have any pressing issues to immediately sort out, it is then reasonable to allocate a portion of time toward productive endeavors. At a time like this, it's unhelpful to chastise people who are just trying to hang on and make it through the day.

Conducting research on the activities of people self-quarantined at home shows interesting insights into the behavior of Americans. Most people are not heeding the hustle-porn huckster’s advice; they are choosing to decompress instead.

It looks like Americans are collectively channeling their inner-slacker attitude. People are consuming more alcohol, smoking weed, playing video games, eating a lot of junk food, binge-watching Netflix and adult films more than ever before.

In a quirky irony that highlights the craziness of the times, liquor stores are open as they’re deemed “essential.” According to Nielsen, a nearly 100-year-old marketing research and ratings firm, studies show that “alcohol sales were up 55% in the week ending March 21.” Nielsen also found that amount of spirits sold—such as tequila, gin and pre-mixed cocktails— skyrocketed 75% compared to March 2019. Wine sales rose 66%, beer sales popped 42% and online alcohol sales grew by an astounding 243% from last year at this time.

According to investment advice site Motley Fool, “During the first few weeks of the month, cannabis sales were soaring and spiked around the middle of the month as fears heightened that people would be confined to their homes in an effort to fight the coronavirus pandemic.” Marijuana sales are high in a number of states where it's legal.

Illinois marijuana dispensaries, which have remained open, sold almost $36 million worth of legal weed in March. This happened during a time period in which the state shut almost all other stores and ordered people to remain indoors. The Los Angeles Times reported that “amid coronavirus siege, California cannabis sales soared.”

Pornhub, if you can’t tell by its name, is a popular online adult film site visited by roughly 120 million viewers every day. Now that Americans are self-quarantining at home, Pornhub has seen a large rise in traffic—up 11.6%.

According to Today, “Many Americans may find their bodies flabbier and less healthy when they finally emerge from the Great Quarantine of 2020.” Bloomberg reported that less people are consuming healthy foods and “are loading up on shelf-stable items from canned meat and soup to pretzels and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, as they comply with orders to stay home.” Studies show an increase in the consumption of potato chips, Oreos, Spam, burgers, pretzels and other comfort foods. Psychology Today refers to the weight that will be gained as the "quarantine 15."

During the week of March 16, U.S. consumers streamed 156.1 billion minutes of content. That was twice as much as last year at this time. Almost 30% of streaming was Netflix programming—including a lot of Tiger King—and 20% was YouTube viewership.

Due to school closures, kids and young adults—from elementary school to college—find themselves home. As you can imagine, video games are the go-to diversion and a way to play online and still socialize with friends. To capture the amount of time spent gaming, digital magazine Mic claims, “So many people are gaming in quarantine, servers are struggling to keep up.” 

It will be interesting to see what happens as the weeks and months pass by and we’re still on lockdown. Could this trend of eating, drinking, smoking weed and watching television and porn continue? Or will we take the man on Twitter’s advice and try to do something constructive?

We’ve already seen some people become so bored that they’ve accomplished some brilliant, wonderful, daring, quirky and lovely things.

Pensions aren’t guaranteed  bro, you know this. If it is a state/government based pension a person is probably in good shape, but any private pension can be eliminated if the economics don’t support it.

Yes, most pensions are based off contributions, which are then invested into the stock market.  If the market take shit, the pension takes a shit as well.

Bronx Zoo Tiger has Tested Positive for COVID-19


Nadia, as seen on Animal Planet’s THE ZOO, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus and six other large cats have developed symptoms—all are expected to recover, according to zoo officials.

Today, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo released a statement that Nadia, a 4-year-old female Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo, has tested positive for COVID-19. Nadia was featured in the 2017 series premiere of Animal Planet's THE ZOO, which took audiences behind the scenes of the world-renowned Bronx Zoo.

According to zoo officials, they tested Nadia out of an abundance of caution and will ensure any knowledge gained about COVID-19 will contribute to the world’s continuing understanding of this novel coronavirus. The positive COVID-19 test for the tiger was confirmed by USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory, based in Ames, Iowa.

Nadia, her sister Azul, two Amur tigers, and three African lions had developed a dry cough, one of the symptoms of COVID-19. “Though they have experienced some decrease in appetite, the cats at the Bronx Zoo are otherwise doing well under veterinary care and are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers,” said zoo officials. It is not known how this disease will develop in big cats since different species can react differently to novel infections, but the zoo will continue to monitor them closely and anticipate full recoveries.

So far, none of the zoo’s snow leopards, cheetahs, clouded leopard, Amur leopard, puma, or serval are showing any signs of illness. Zoo officials said the cats were infected by a person caring for them who was asymptomatically infected with the virus or before that person developed symptoms. However, appropriate preventive measures are now in place for all staff who are caring for the cats, and the other cats in our four WCS zoos, to prevent further exposure of any other of zoo cats.

My argument from day 1 has been the key data is overall deaths.  You are either dead or not and it can't be influenced or biased.

'Rona' is supposed to be knocking more people off than usual. If it's really all that bad we will see an uptick trend in deaths that overshadows any other influencing factors.

I searched and got the raw data for the UK total deaths by week and tabled it up. I will keep an eye on their future reports.

Data is reported from Jan 2020 up to the 20th March 2020.

Jan 2020 = -1,409  vs the previous 5yr average
Feb 2020 = -2,696 vs the previous 5yr average
Mar 20th 2020 = -717 vs the previous 5yr average
**data set shows first 3 months tracking below the total death average over the previous 5yrs.

It's safe to say we didn't see any impact in Jan or Feb.

March can be argued coming out of Winter, flu season influences to the data reduce so we should see a balancing out anyway. Therefore i don't see the uptick being influenced with 'hidden' Rona deaths.

Prisoner Uses Smuggled Cellphone to Beg for Help With Coronavirus on Facebook Live

The video begins with a man wearing a surgical mask and a stocking cap staring directly into the camera. The footage is blurry and vertical, like it was filmed on a cellphone.

“Shit you know I don’t even know how to start this,” he says. “Shit was all good like a couple days ago, right? So all of a sudden, out of the blue, fucking everybody just fucking dying and getting sick and shit. Like, this shit serious as fuck. Like, they literally leaving us in here to die.”

VICE News has identified the man as 31-year-old Aaron DeShawn Campbell, an inmate at FCI Elkton, a federal prison in Ohio where three people have died from COVID-19 over the past week and at least 20 others are currently hospitalized.

The video, posted publicly on Facebook Live on Friday afternoon from an account with the name “Ace Sanchez,” was a desperate plea for help by Campbell, who was willing to risk showing his face and admit to possession of a smuggled cell phone in order to alert the public about the dire situation inside his prison, his brother and and mother told VICE News.

In the video, which runs for over 20 minutes, Campbell films the inside of his housing unit, showing men lying down on bunks who he says are sick with coronavirus symptoms. He says a prison nurse recently told him “half the unit is about to die.” He also records a courtyard in the prison and points out a tent on a basketball court that he claims was set up to store the bodies of men who died from COVID-19.

Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Sue Allison told VICE News the video “is currently under investigation,” and denied that Campbell or other men shown in the video are sick.

“We can confirm that after identifying the inmates in the video, none of them were symptomatic of COVID-19,” Allison said in a statement.

Joseph Mayle, a correctional counselor at Elkton and the president of the union for the prison’s staff and guards, would not “confirm or deny” that footage was shot inside the prison, but he rebutted specific claims made by Campbell.

"The tent on the basketball court at first was going to be a testing area to take inmate temperatures for isolation,” Mayle said. “However, they did not do anything with that tent, the inmates were just going straight to isolation so the tent is empty. There are no dead bodies. There never were any dead bodies. There have been inmates who have passed away, but they were in the hospital.”

A former Elkton inmate, who was released last year, confirmed the authenticity of the video to VICE News, saying the tent appeared to be on a basketball court inside the facility, next to the prison medical center and the “Special Housing Unit” where inmates are isolated. The source said it appeared Campell was housed inside F Unit at the low-security prison, which is an “open dorm with cubicles” instead of cells. Photos posted previously on the “Ace Sanchez” account showed a man closely resembling Campbell inside what appears to be a prison.

The BOP confirms seven cases of COVID-19 among inmates at FCI Elkton, a low-security prison with a minimum-security “camp” housing around 2,400 inmates total. Two staff at the prison are also confirmed to have the disease, according to BOP. But according to Mayle, three staff are positive, 15 inmates are in quarantine with symptoms, and 82 are in isolation.

In the video, Campbell — a Detroit native who is serving an eight-year prison sentence for selling crack cocaine in West Virginia — says the cramped quarters inside Elkton, where men sleep in dorm-style housing units, make it impossible to practice social distancing.

“This guy over here dying of corona,” Campbell says at one point, turning the camera to his cellmate, who is lying down and wearing a surgical mask. “They got this guy in my room. How the fuck am I supposed to live? They talk to us about staying six feet away, they give us these little masks, but they literally like leaving us in here to die.”

He adds later: “Everybody in the unit got this shit except three or four of us.” Campbell says in the video that he feels fine, but he also complains at one point of losing his sense of taste, which is a symptom of COVID-19.

Mayle, the union chief at Oakdale, disputed Campbell’s claims. "Pretty much everything he said is untrue,” Mayle said. “No health service professional is gonna tell an inmate he's going to die. The inmate he's housed with is fine."

Campbell’s younger brother Adrian, who works as the manager of a housing complex in Florida, told VICE News he spoke to his brother by phone on Friday afternoon just before the video went live on Facebook. Adrian said his brother was willing to go public even though he would likely be punished by prison authorities for having a “jack,” or contraband phone. Adrian said he received word from a friend on Sunday that his brother had been placed in “the hole” as punishment, but that information was not confirmed by prison officials

‘It was pretty much like, ‘Oh my god, shit is getting crazy in here,’” Adrian recalled his brother saying. “‘I’m about to try this, they might take the jack but fuck it.’ He said he needed to get some notoriety to the situation because they was ignoring everybody.”

Adrian said that in a conversation earlier in the week, Aaron said he had virtually no information about the coronavirus, including the symptoms and high risk for infection inside prisons and jails. In addition to the three men who have died from COVID-19 at Elkton, five inmates at FCI Oakdale, a low-security prison in Louisiana, have also died over the past week. The BOP now confirmed 120 cases among federal inmates nationwide, though the agency acknowledges that the actual infection count is likely far higher because only the sickest prisoners are getting tested.

“I had to clue him into pretty much like all the specifics about the corona situation,” Adrian said. “In a week's time after, he said that it got heavy and hectic in the jail, people started getting sick and dying. He sounded real nervous about the situation.”

Adrian said he hasn’t heard from Aaron since the video was posted, despite efforts to contact the prison and get an update.

“It’s like the whole system just shut down,” Adrian said. “You can’t even get through on a line. I didn't think [posting the video] would work but he said anything better than nothing. They just left him in the cell for days at this point with nothing but a little face mask.”

No walking outside property, no jogging, no cycling, no dog walking, no buying or selling alcohol or cigarettes allowed.

May only spend 1 hour at shop and must keep any receipts. Should shop alone. May drive 30 minutes each way.

So on the same day... One Uncle is in the IUC for Clovid19 and your other uncle, on the same day falls off his bicycle and breaks his arm? What the fuck are the odds of that? Tell the stupid uncle to stop falling off his bicycle like a fucking idiot.  I hope the other uncle recovers quickly.

Hospitals in Northern California are absolutely fine. No rush. No madhouse. No over crowding. Absolutely normal. If anything they are slow and quiet. Nobody wants to go there for fear of contracting Clovid19.

From that story:


“ On Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters that in his state alone, the epicenter of the viral outbreak in the United States, new coronavirus hospitalizations dropped by about 75 percent, from 1,427 four days ago to 358 on Sunday.”

Jesse McKinley

@jessemckinley
 .@NYGovCuomo's aide Jim Malatras says the projections are now showing that the state unlikely to need 110,000 beds for #Coronavirus.

New projections show MUCH LOWER demand, near 20,000-30,000 range if the new chart is believed.

*********

Now, how many of those prior hospitalizations occurred as a result of the month long nonstop hammering about Corona? Or did that have no effect?

Detroit rep says hydroxychloroquine, Trump helped save her life amid COVID-19 fight.

Quote
LANSING – A Democratic state representative from Detroit is crediting hydroxychloroquine — and Republican President Donald Trump who touted the drug — for saving her in her battle with the coronavirus.

State Rep. Karen Whitsett, who learned Monday she has tested positive for COVID-19, said she started taking hydroxychloroquine on March 31, prescribed by her doctor, after both she and her husband sought treatment for a range of symptoms on March 18.

"It was less than two hours" before she started to feel relief, said Whitsett, who had experienced shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, and what felt like a sinus infection. She is still experiencing headaches, she said.

Whitsett said she was familiar with "the wonders" of hydroxychloroquine from an earlier bout with Lyme disease, but does not believe she would have thought to ask for it, or her doctor would have prescribed it, had Trump not been touting it as a possible treatment for COVID-19.

Trump, at his daily coronavirus briefings, has repeatedly touted the drug in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin, despite criticism from health professionals that it is unproven and potentially dangerous. There have also been complaints that Trump's remarks have resulted in a shortage of the drug for those people who normally use it for its recommended purposes.

But Whitsett said Trump's comments helped in her case.

"It has a lot to do with the president ... bringing it up," Whitsett said. "He is the only person who has the power to make it a priority."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Monday that early responses to the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine "anecdotally" suggest its use in the coronavirus fight has been "effective," but that official data was still forthcoming.

Asked about the progress of the trials at his daily press briefing, Cuomo noted that state officials have allowed use of the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax in hospitals "at their discretion." He said the federal government would increase supplies to New York pharmacies, but that New York has imposed a 14-day limit to protect the supplies for people who rely on it to treat other medical conditions.

Nice try, that’s not exactly a “tiny home”.  I meant given your living situation, with your daughter and grandchildren and soon to be great grandchild, it might be safer for you to be on your own in a small place as opposed to your current home.

I referred to the tiny homes because Oregon has a tiny home community set up for homeless people. They are transition homes.

Stay safe. Weirdo.

Not sure why you think it would be safer for me to live elsewhere. 'Our' house is my house, which I share with them. If something happens to me or I decided to sell it, my kids would probably get something smaller and less expensive to maintain. They've sometimes talked about moving back to Hawaii.

No, the place in the picture I posted isn't technically a 'tiny house' in the strictest sense. What it is, is an example of my ideal of a small one person place. Anything tinier would feel too claustrophobic to me. How folks sleep in those lofts where the ceiling is so low that you can barely sit up much less stand would make me even crazier than  and weirder than I already am. Also, I have a lot of clothes and need a decent sized closet.  ;)

I'm surprised they haven't tried blood transfusions with severe cases.  A fully recovered individual would have anti-bodies.  And the fight goes on!

Johns Hopkins immunologist Arturo Casadevall is working to revive a century-old blood-derived treatment for use in the United States in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease.

With the right pieces in place, the treatment could be set up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore within a matter of weeks, Casadevall says.

The technique uses antibodies from the blood plasma or serum of people who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to boost the immunity of newly infected patients and those at risk of contracting the disease. These antibodies contained in the blood's serum have the ability to bind to and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

“You can’t save everyone. This virus is very good at what it does, and it kills vulnerable people,” Cuomo said at his daily briefing providing updates on the outbreak. “The question is, are you saving everyone you can save? And there the answer is yes, and I take some solace in that fact.”

“Our health care system is operating. I don’t believe we’ve lost a single person because we couldn’t provide care,” the Democratic governor continued. “People we lost we couldn’t save despite our best efforts.”

A record 731 New Yorkers died between Monday and Tuesday, Cuomo reported. He cautioned that the death rate is a “lagging indicator,” meaning that those who died are often sick for weeks before they pass. More than 138,000 people in the state have been infected with the respiratory illness, with 8,157 new positive cases on Tuesday, the lowest rate in a week. The number of patients being hospitalized and moved to intensive care has dropped as well.

Plasmapheresis is a thing and they are running trials right now to evaluate the efficacy of it.  However, the supply is limited to those who are willing to donate.  Furthermore, the machines used to process this plasma are expensive and in short supply--nevermind the technicians that know how to perform this process.

It would never be a mass-produced thing but could protect those at high risk (healthcare workers, etc) and could possibly serve as a blueprint for a synthesized solution down the road

Key coronavirus model revised downward, predicts 60K deaths in US by August
The Hill ^ | 04 08 2020 | Rebecca Klar



A key forecasting model used by the White House has revised its prediction of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., now estimating a peak of 60,415 by early August.

The model created by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IMHE) at the University of Washington had predicted a peak of 81,766 deaths in an update on Sunday.

Public health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have previously estimated that as many as 100,000 to 200,000 Americans could die from the novel coronavirus.

Across the U.S., nearly 400,000 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed and 12,911 related deaths reported as of Wednesday morning, based on data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Different models forecasting the coronavirus pandemic are offering varied predictions, however,.

IMHE, for example, predicts the peak hospital resource use is coming in just a few days, on Sunday, while other models officials have cited don’t show the outbreak peaking for months.

The Way the U.S. is Counting Wuhan Coronavirus Deaths Seems Problematic
Townhall ^ | 04/08/2020 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 4/8/2020, 10:00:23 AM by SeekAndFind

During the White House Wuhan coronavirus task force briefing Tuesday evening, Dr. Deborah Birx said the United States has taken a "liberal approach" in the way doctors classify deaths from the virus.

"The intent is right now if someone dies with COVID-19, we're counting that as a COVID-19 death," Birx said. "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and let's say the virus caused you to go the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death."

Dr. Birx confirms ALL DEATHS of people infected with coronavirus -- regardless of underlying conditions -- are classified as COVID-19 deaths

There is a difference between dying from something and dying with something. The way Wuhan coronavirus deaths are counted matters for a number of reasons, but most importantly, its "lethality" has been the driving force behind a country wide economic shut down.

2. It emphatically provides that doctors are to enter the COVID19 code when recording the cause of death even whether it may not be the main cause of death or is the suspected cause of death. It is the default code to be used.https://t.co/IMBkxcgyNo— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 8, 2020

According to the latest numbers compiled under this classification by Johns Hopkins University, there are 398,185 positive diagnoses, 21,849 recoveries and 12,844 deaths.

I have a great strategy. Wait until the hospitals are at 75% capacity with nothing but Covid positive patients before you shut down the local economy and pull this quasi martial law shit. They are running under 50% capacity FOR ALL PATIENTS in South Carolina where I live. They are laying off medical people for fucks sake here.. If you have a hot spot like NYC then shut things down.

This is remarkable. Dr. Birx says here very plainly that anyone who dies “with COVID-19” is being counted as having died from COVID-19. She admits this is a “liberal approach” to recording mortality. The suspicions many of us had are now confirmed.

2. It emphatically provides that doctors are to enter the COVID19 code when recording the cause of death even whether it may not be the main cause of death or is the suspected cause of death. It is the default code to be used.https://t.co/IMBkxcgyNo— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 8, 2020

According to the latest numbers compiled under this classification by Johns Hopkins University, there are 398,185 positive diagnoses, 21,849 recoveries and 12,844 deaths.

They don't have any desire to find things out until they have no other alternative and the inconsistencies are punching them in the face.

Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't classify it as particularly serious unless you believe the same about other common viruses so that depends on definition. They are completely trying to fudge numbers and still there is nothing remotely impressive about the death count. Who knows? It could be as little as 1/3rd actually died from even that number.

Then you have people like these clowns saying things like this and people pretty much bending over backward in order to appease them and asking to be locked up and call on their neighbors, etc. It's an embarrassment.



"You are attempting, in my mind as a prosecutor, to commit serious physical harm to people and that is felonious assault," Deters told Enquirer columnist Jason Williams, who was hosting the radio show. "So fine, sit your butt in a jail. You can sit there and kill yourself. I don't care, but you're not going to kill my kids and you're not going to kill my neighbors' kids. I'm done with this nonsense, so we'll see what happens."

Coronavirus fallout: One-third of Americans missed rent payments in April.

As the novel coronavirus slows the U.S. economy, many renters — now unemployed — wondered how they would pay April rent. New data shows that one-third of Americans did not pay April rent before the due date.

As the novel coronavirus pandemic causes mass layoffs and financial disruption, 31% of U.S. renters did not pay April rent on time, up from 19% a month earlier and 18% in April 2019, according to a new report by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) based on 13.4 million rentals. Among U.S. renters, only 69% paid April rent on time.

WHERE THE PHUCK IS THE CHINESE INTERNATIONAL RELIEF PACKAGE? THEY ARE JUST GOING TO WALK FROM THIS UNSCATHED.  BASICALLY THEY ARE GIVING AWAY A COUPLE OF VENTILATORS AND FREE MASKS.

They had a problem with a flu bug in China. Everything else is bullshit.

I’ve stopped buying that the Chinese nationals that left Wuhan in December infected the whole fucking world but paid particular attention to the black and Hispanic shit holes.

I’ve heard that many who came to America visited Silicon Valley. Has there been a big outbreak there?

How do we even know this virus was exclusive to Wuhan? They just started doing the testing.

I could literally go on all day with all the inconsistencies.

If this virus is so deadly, how did all these Chinese travel across the world? They should’ve been bedridden.

If many people don’t show symptoms, how do they know that the people who died of other diseases but we’re labeled dying of corona wouldn’t have had those same symptoms without the positive test?

My daughter found out today that her physical therapist tested positive for the novel coronavirus. She saw her primary care doctor today and took the COVID-19 test. Results take five days. She's allergic to almost all antibiotics. So if she has it, she's in a pickle. Presently, she's quarantined in the bedroom at least until the test results come through and longer if she has the virus. Fortunately, she is a relatively healthy person.

Sorry, I can't put a humorous spin on this. I'm just going try and keep positive thoughts for her well being and the rest of us who've already had contact with her.   

Just wanted to update. My daughter is coronavirus free. As soon as she heard from her doctor that the test was negative, she started feeling much better. Following the doctor's instructions, she waited to come out of quarantine until her fever was gone for sure. She's back to being her old self, which is great.

Question.

Dr Fauci attributes the next week decrease to social distance measures.

Quote
Top government infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci is expecting a turnaround in the pandemic next week due to social distancing measures that have driven down new hospitalization rates.

I don't think those measures were implemented throughout the US at the same time, but as for NYC, I read they were implemented on March 22. By next week, the measures will have 3 weeks of being implemented already. Being the incubation period of 7 - 14 days, a decrease it's exactly what you would expect.

What's the difference between the predicted number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths (taking into account the lockdown) vs the actual number of cases?

When people stop reporting supposed Corona deaths, and everyone realizes it's another flu that comes during flu season, Americans will finally realize how dishonest and sensational the media has become, selling fear, click bait and half truths. Even listing Corona Virus "deaths' without listing any pre existing health factors which is the VAST majority of Corona deaths.

I recall when modern "reality tv" first came out in the early 90's, and it took quite a while for people to actually believe it's completely scripted and fake which we all know now.

We have not collectively realized just how fake the mainstream news is, there is a block in our minds saying "Could this news report just be TOTAL bullshit?" YES!!!! And this knowledge may be a lasting affect of Corona Virus after the fear is gone.

One here making the local newspapers is that CoronaVirus is specifically affecting African Americans harder. There is NO study confirming this, as with a new virus different demographics come in randomly weekly, but race baiting sells, next thing blacks in the media will be saying how whitey is using the virus to target blacks, its all just clickbait bullshit and after this manufactured fear is over, we will all have to reevaluate this thing called "news".

I hate to have to stick up for those two assholes but they did nothing wrong. They were going with the information that they had. There was nothing going on in New York City during the peak flu winter months so there was no reason for them to push the panic button.

The insanity only got going when the announcement came about stimulus plans. They did a 180  when they realized that this is going to be at windfall for the city and state when all is said and done.


You’re about halfway there. Once you accept that EVERYTHING about this is bullshit you’ll be at the finish line. It’s perfectly understandable. I came to my current position on the subject little by little as well.

Cuomo Admits Hydroxychloroquine Works, Wants to Lift Restrictions.

Quote
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke positively of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine — which has been touted by the White House — at his daily press briefing Monday, announcing that the state will request an additional supply from the federal government.

The Democratic governor said the drug has “anecdotally” been “effective” in treating COVID-19, explaining that state officials have been given permission to use it in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax in hospitals “at their discretion.” However, he emphasized that official data has not yet been released.

First uptick in total deaths for the UK which bucks the trend since the start of the year.

1k over the total average deaths for the week ending 27th March.

Total covid-19 shown on death certificates is 647 but obviously the uptick shows more died with it.

We should expect the uptick to get larger for at least the next 2 weeks.

As you seem to know, averages are just averages. The actual numbers are usually going to be somewhat above or below average. The question would be how the uptick compares to the standard deviation. If this virus is what we were told it is, there should be a large increase.

It's the actual number this year compared to the same week of data averaged over the previous 5yrs.

The 1k spike is almost a 10% increase over that previous average.

When viewing the weekly data for this year it is the first week with a clear spike.  If you want to go all out professor on the numbers you will need to compile the individual data yourself for deviations or other metrics you feel would.provide clearer insight.


Latest new is the UK will have 66,000 corona deaths by August with a peak of close to 3,000 in one day.

To put that 66k into perspective, from April-End July in 2019, 173,000 people died.

As I’ve said, the scam is in the testing. In 1st world countries with large populations about 1% die a year. In the U.S, the number of yearly deaths is about 3 million. All that needs to be done is to attribute some  of those deaths to corona and that’s exactly what’s being done:


The Way the U.S. is Counting Wuhan Coronavirus Deaths Seems Problematic
Townhall ^ | 04/08/2020 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 4/8/2020, 10:00:23 AM by SeekAndFind

During the White House Wuhan coronavirus task force briefing Tuesday evening, Dr. Deborah Birx said the United States has taken a "liberal approach" in the way doctors classify deaths from the virus.

"The intent is right now if someone dies with COVID-19, we're counting that as a COVID-19 death," Birx said. "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and let's say the virus caused you to go the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death."

Dr. Birx confirms ALL DEATHS of people infected with coronavirus -- regardless of underlying conditions -- are classified as COVID-19 deaths

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2020-03-29/anthony-fauci-us-coronavirus-deaths-could-near-200-000

The article attributes the reduction of future number of deaths to the social distancing measures that will have 5-6 weeks by then. Thus, the article implies the projection assumed no social distancing.

Quote
The falling projection, the result of aggressive social distancing behaviors Americans adopted to curb the spread of the virus, may accelerate Trump’s effort to develop a plan to urge Americans to leave their homes and return to work next month.

“The real data are telling us it is highly likely we are having a definite positive effect by the mitigation things that we’re doing, this physical separation,” Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC in an interview.

The question is, are you comparing a projection that assumed NO SOCIAL DISTANCING vs number of confirmed cases with 5-6 weeks of social distancing measures having been implemented?



EDIT: not sure how about the date for the prediction. If it is early August, the social distancing measures should have 6 weeks by then.

CDC Releases Early Demographic Snapshot of Worst Coronavirus Cases

Approximately 90% of the 1,482 hospitalized patients included in the study released Wednesday had one or more underlying medical conditions. Older people infected with the virus were more likely to be hospitalized; men were more likely to endure severe cases than women; and black people were hospitalized at a higher rate than whites. The study also found that hospitalization rates for COVID-19 have been significantly higher than for recent outbreaks of influenza.

I'm going by the published numbers of infected vs dead, which change depending on who you ask, and all numbers regardless of source are questionable to me.

But yes, the number of infected is probably far greater, which would make the percentage of deaths due to Corona far smaller.

A model being off doesn't prove your theories about:

- How Covid-19 is a hoax with the intention of devaluating the dollar.
- Pre-conditions being mainly catastrophic illnesses.
- How people with pre-conditions shouldn't be counted on the statistics.
- Data being manipulated to inflate numbers in hispanics and blacks populations.
- How the low sensivity of Covid-19 test inflates the number of cases (it does the opposite!).
- How exponential growth should be linear.

See, you've been polluting every single thread with your conspiracy theories and every single question directed towards you has been answered with generic replies.

I'm actually glad that that model in the US is off. Doesn't mean you were right, it means we have more data now and can make better predictions. That's how science works, revisiting models and plugging in new data.

Conspiracy theories with no substance except for a burning desire of going against general consensus have no place in society.

24-year-old EMT with coronavirus dies


A 24-year-old Pompton Lakes EMT died from complications with the coronavirus, friends and state officials said.

Kevin Leiva, an EMT in North Bergen and at Saint Clare’s Dover Hospital, died from complications with the coronavirus Tuesday, said Cesar Perez, an EMS supervisor in Passaic for Saint Clare’s. He leaves behind his wife Marina.

Leiva is the second EMT who worked at Saint Clare’s to have died from complications with the coronavirus. He died one week to the day after the death of Israel Tolentino Jr., a 33-year-old Passaic firefighter and EMT at Saint Clare’s.

Leiva was remembered as smart, positive and selfless, who lived to help others through being an EMT.

“We did everything together,” said Kara Connolly, his partner for two years at Saint Clare’s. “We became really close. I talked to him every single day. He’s so selfless. He did everything for anybody.”

At Thursday’s press briefing, Gov. Phil Murphy honored the young EMT, thanking him for his years helping others.

“Kevin was only 24 years old," said Murphy. “Bless him. We thank him for his service. For an extraordinary lifetime. For his service to this state.”

Perez, Leiva and Leiva’s best friend Franklin Pachay all started at Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corporation (MONOC) at the same time, meeting at their orientation. Although Leiva was a dedicated, diligent EMT, eventually becoming an EMT supervisor for Saint Clare’s, his friends would tease him for nodding off during orientation videos.

“We used to crack on him because he used to fall asleep during the videos,” recalled Perez. “He was great and he’s going to be missed.”

When it came to work itself, Leiva was serious, said Perez. But at work, Leiva was never without a snappy comeback, he said.

“He was always known as super funny and positive and hard-working,” said Connolly. When Saint Clare’s was awarded the contract to provide emergency medical services for Passaic, both Connolly and Leiva applied. The two became partners, talking every day and becoming good friends.

Eventually, both became EMS supervisors at Saint Clare’s.

A candlelight vigil was planned for Friday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. to honor Leiva at the Passaic EMS headquarters on Grove Street.

Trump Keeps Talking. Some Republicans Don’t Like What They’re Hearing.

t’s the kind of performance the president relishes, but one that has his advisers and Republican allies worried.


As unemployment soars and the death toll skyrockets, and new polls show support for the president’s handling of the crisis sagging, White House allies and Republican lawmakers increasingly believe the briefings are hurting the president more than helping him. Many view the sessions as a kind of original sin from which all of his missteps flow, once he gets through his prepared script and turns to his preferred style of extemporaneous bluster and invective.

Mr. Trump “sometimes drowns out his own message,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who has become one of the president’s informal counselors and told him “a once-a-week show” could be more effective. Representative Susan Brooks of Indiana said “they’re going on too long.” Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia said the briefings were “going off the rails a little bit” and suggested that he should “let the health professionals guide where we’re going to go.”

With only intermittent attempts to adapt to a moment of crisis, Mr. Trump is effectively wagering that he can win re-election in the midst of a national emergency on a platform of polarization.

In interviews, Republican lawmakers, administration officials and members of his re-election campaign said they wanted Mr. Trump to limit his error-filled appearances at the West Wing briefings and move more aggressively to prepare for the looming recession. Some even suggested he summon a broader range of the country’s leaders, including former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, in an all-hands-on-deck moment to respond to the national emergency.

The consternation reflects a new sense of urgency over Mr. Trump’s re-election efforts as Joseph R. Biden Jr. emerges as his likely Democratic challenger. Three new polls this week show Mr. Biden leading the president, and the Trump campaign’s internal surveys show he has mostly lost the initial bump he received early in the crisis, according to three people briefed on the numbers. Public polls show he badly trails the nation’s governors and his own medical experts in terms of whom Americans trust most for guidance.

“I told him your opponent is no longer Joe Biden — it’s this virus,” Mr. Graham said.

One of Mr. Trump’s top political advisers, speaking on the condition of anonymity so as not to anger the president, was even blunter, arguing that the White House was handing Mr. Biden ammunition each night by sending the president out to the cameras.

Vice President Mike Pence, this adviser said, should be the M.C. because he projects more empathy than the president, rarely makes mistakes and, as a former governor and the chief of the coronavirus task force, has a better grasp on the details of the response.

Yet the publicity-obsessed president is unlikely to relinquish his grip on the evening sessions: Mr. Trump has told aides he relishes the free television time and boffo ratings that come with his appearances, administration officials say.

He also views it as an opportunity to put forth his version of events and rebut the negative coverage he is receiving, as he showed in a tweet Thursday afternoon. On a day that New York State reported 799 deaths from the coronavirus in a 24-hour period, Mr. Trump’s focus was on himself, and his feuds.

Deep divisions remain in the White House and the Republican Party over how quickly to ease social distancing orders and urge Americans to return to school and work. Some who have Mr. Trump’s ear, like Mr. Graham, are urging prudence. But a number of Republican lawmakers and Fox News personalities are lobbying the president to reopen the economy as quickly as possible.

Amid the conflicting advice, the president’s gut instincts and fondness for showmanship have won out, prompting him to frequently contradict or simply obscure the scientists who polls show are most trusted by voters.

And it’s not just an overwhelming majority of voters who believe the medical experts should be center stage: Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, personally urged Mr. Trump at the start of the crisis to let Drs. Anthony S. Fauci and Deborah Birx be the face of the response, according to a Republican official familiar with their conversation.

Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, said: “Any suggestion that President Trump is struggling on tone or message is completely false. During these difficult times, Americans are receiving comfort, hope and resources from their president, as well as their local officials, and Americans are responding in unprecedented ways.”

Some of Mr. Trump’s aides have quietly suggested to him that he ratchet back his public attacks on the governors who have emerged as leaders in the response to the virus. But they acknowledge their efforts can be something of a fool’s errand; the president has his style and he won’t change, they say.

His attacks on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, a popular Democrat and potential vice-presidential pick for Mr. Biden — whom Mr. Trump called a “half-Whit” and “that woman” — were of particular concern to some aides and political advisers, who believe he risked alienating voters in a pivotal state.

Representative Paul Mitchell, a Michigan Republican, said he had contacted a senior White House official, as well as Ms. Whitmer herself, to express his unhappiness about their mutual sniping.

“It is not helpful to hurl names and talk about badly about people,” Mr. Mitchell said. “We need to focus on the problem.”

At Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign, staff members have closely monitored internal polling data showing an erosion of the gains Mr. Trump made immediately after he put social distancing guidelines in place. Advisers are torn between knowing that a less abrasive approach would help Mr. Trump and their awareness that he can’t tolerate criticism, regardless of the setting.

Mr. Trump’s limited gains in the polls are all the more striking when compared with those made by governors in both parties; many are enjoying double-digit gains in their approval ratings. And Mr. Trump’s penchant for ad hominem attacks, Republicans say, illustrates why he has little room for growth among the electorate.

“He can’t escape his instincts, his desire to put people down, like Mitt Romney, or to talk about his ratings,” said former Representative Carlos Curbelo, a Florida Republican. “That’s why he’s not getting the George W. Bush post-9/11 treatment. A leader in this sort of crisis should have a 75-to-80-percent approval rating.”

That would prove difficult for even a more conventional president at a time the country is so politically divided, but a number of prominent Republicans believe Mr. Trump has hurt himself by making only the most halting attempts at demonstrating an above-the-fray unity.

For example, aides to both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama said that neither had been asked by the White House to do anything to aid the response to the crisis.

“The model of Obama asking Bush and Clinton to work on Haiti is a really good model,” said former Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, recalling how Mr. Obama deployed Mr. Bush and former President Bill Clinton to lead the United States’ assistance to Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake there.

But Mr. Haslam and other Republicans believe Mr. Trump needs to go much further. Mr. Haslam called for creating a recovery team and installing “the economic equivalent of Dr. Fauci” as its leader. Asked whom he had in mind, Mr. Haslam suggested Mitch Daniels, who previously served as the governor of Indiana, the head of the Office of Management and Budget and as chief executive of the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly.

A number of senators, including Mr. Graham, are also pushing for a sort of economic task force to complement the virus task force.

“The administration needs to be thinking through what does it look like to get back to business,” said Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, suggesting that it should “give a lot of thought to how we scale back up economically, because that’s going to be the next big challenge for us.”

The health of the economy may pose the biggest challenge to Mr. Trump’s re-election.

Mr. Toomey said he “won’t be surprised if we have 25 percent unemployment,” which would match the height of the Great Depression, by the start of the summer. But he said that if voters believed “the president has handled this well under the circumstances, and we’re on a good path, he has a shot.”

Other Republicans are more skeptical that Mr. Trump can win if he’s still saddled with double-digit unemployment in November. “I think that makes it really hard,” said Tony Fratto, a former Bush administration official.

And then there’s the matter of Mr. Trump and his conduct at the daily briefings.

Mr. Toomey has been outspoken about the need for Americans to wear masks when they leave home. Last week he had a 20-minute conversation with the president, whom he described as “thoughtful and engaged.”

By week’s end, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had issued guidelines: People should wear “cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.” The agency’s decision was based in part on recent studies showing that people without symptoms can give the virus to others.

But in the same briefing where he announced the guidelines, Mr. Trump diminished the move as “a recommendation.”

“I just don’t want to wear one myself,” he said, explaining that he had no symptoms. “I am feeling good.”

Ok after a lot of messing around i got hold of some Italian data. This is not a complete country view, it is only verified municipalities.

There are 21 municipalities in the data set. Total deaths are for 1st March to the 28th March.

2019 recorded 14,603 deaths.
2020 recorded 29,565 deaths.
Change +14,962 deaths.

I have the total Italy country deaths for March 2019 which was 57,882 therefore the 2019 number of 14,603 in the above data represents 25% of the 2019 value.

I would not extrapolate the data across the entire country but i would assume it would be conservative to double that figure and say this has caused at least +30k deaths above normal trendline.


Hopefully my posts with the actual data are.being followed here because it's been a headache to find it.

Some people are going to die no matter how old they are.

They have weak immune systems or some peculiar susceptibility to the virus.

It sucks for them and their families.

Just hope you are not one of those unfortunate people.



Some people who contract COVID - 19 will die from it regardless of their age. All people are going to die no matter how old they are. Some will die young and some don't die until they are very old, but eventually everyone dies.

A friend of mine has a weak immune system as a result of chemotherapy when she had throat cancer. This is a side effect I'd not known about before. Her immune system will never recover.

Just came out that here in L.A. we have what probably is called "Herd immunity", meaning Corona actually came here from China last year, which is why we had an epidemic flu season last year with 3000 deaths and 55,000 hospitalizations, 2 to 3 times the average number of flu deaths. Latest research shows it worked it's way through some of the population that now has immunity, and this is why California doesn't seem to be hit as hard as NY or other metropolitan centers that size. It's a flu.

What time period last year?

Yes it's possible, but also worth considering that there are fewer people around with serious comorbitites and compromised immune systems right now which would cause a  peak in covid19 hospitalisation/death, because they were taken out already by a bad flu.

Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman has recovered from the coronavirus

Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman fell ill with the coronavirus about three weeks ago and has since recovered and been cleared by physicians, according to a company spokesman.

The executive remained in charge of Morgan Stanley the entire time he was ill and has been working from home, according to spokesman Wesley McDade.

“Given the fact that Mr. Gorman’s symptoms were not severe and that he continued to function as Chairman and CEO while working from home throughout the illness (as are more than 90% of our employees), it was determined that his illness was not material” enough to disclose to shareholders in a filing, McDade said in an email.

UK guidance on identifying cause of death


Quote
Medical practitioners are required to certify causes of death “to the best of their knowledge and belief”. Without diagnostic proof, if appropriate and to avoid delay, medical practitioners can circle ‘2’ in the MCCD (“information from post-mortem may be available later”) or tick Box B on the reverse of the MCCD for ante-mortem investigations. For example, if before death the patient had symptoms typical of COVID- 19 infection, but the test result has not been received, it would be satisfactory to give ‘COVID-19’ as the cause of death, tick Box B and then share the test result when it becomes available. In the circumstances of there being no swab, it is satisfactory to apply clinical judgement.

Los Angeles County Extends Stay-at-Home Order to May 15

The people of Los Angeles County will have to remain on lockdown for at least another month ... county officials have extended an order until May 15.

L.A. County's public health director, Barbara Ferrer, made the announcement Friday during a press conference. The "Safer-at-Home" initiative has closed public beaches, most parks and hiking trails, and limits movement to essential places like the grocery store or doctor's offices.

Angelinos have seen a drastic change when out in public ... most people wear masks or some sort of face-covering device ... and social distancing signs are posted in grocery store checkout lines.

The initiative has obviously been a major hit to the restaurants and local businesses, though many have launched carry-out food programs to continue some sort of revenue stream.

The order had originally only been in place until April 19, but at the time, it was subject to extension.

March 16th – The Ferguson Report Is Released
On March 16th a professor from the Imperial College in London called Neil Ferguson used a mathematical computer model he created in 2009 to estimate the infection rate and death toll of the coronavirus.
he predicted 250,000 to 500,000 deaths in the UK alone
March 23rd UK goes on lockdown
March 25th – Ferguson Retracts His Prediction
On Wednesday 25th only 9 days after scaring the world into an unprecedented lock down Ferguson drags himself off out of “self isolation” to speak to a parliamentary committee and reveals that he has now readjusted his model and “now feels confident that the death toll in the UK will be below 20,000!”
So the guy who caused the world to shut down only 9 days before with doomsday figures predicting millions of deaths and saying we need to self isolate and practise social distancing for up to 18 months has now told parliament that he was wrong and the figure he now predicts is below 20,000.
What is astonishing is why this was not being reported on every mainstream media outlet as the biggest governmental cock up in history at this point. Yet we hear virtually nothing and the media continue to spread fear on a scale never seen.

The issue is the media cherry picked one scenario, the worst case scenario (because it sells the most ads) and pushed it out there.

The reality is these guys would have several models across a number of scenarios during the initial planning phase and it would be normal to downgrade estimates from a worst case to better case as restrictions increased and positive data was reported. It is normal and expected.  The guy actually clarified it on twitter after he copped a social media beating.

The media have a LOT to answer for. Most shit out there seems to be cut and paste now. Nobody fact checks.

Funny thing is that 99% of all modeling created to fight an epidemic are computer models. Heck, the majority of those computer models were at the request of entities other than the WHO. The WHO is shit. Pure and utter shit. Just another organization created for who knows what where useless politician has-beens go to essentially die while living a very lavish lifestyle.

If anything COVID demonstrated is the lack of coordination between the state and federal governments. I'm sorry if you're a democrat but... if you listen to Cuomo's press conferences and the thought of hitting the pierced-nippled fucker in the back of the head with a baseball bat doesn't come to mind...

I'm still amazed that we were so behind with this epidemic. Knowing how fucked up virulent outbreaks could potentially become you'd think the Department of Health could be looking for ways to effectively isolate and quarantine a population.

Here's a thought... use a hotel packed with people. Give 5% of the hosts red t-shirts with VIRUS on the front. Within 5 minutes of the "viruses" walking around touching people, tell the hotel manager that he and his hotel are the subjects of an exercise. See how he/she reacts. Learn from it. Do something! There's excellent population control protocols out there... schools have it for active school shooters, the different fire departments have them for tall high rises, etc.

Just came out that here in L.A. we have what probably is called "Herd immunity", meaning Corona actually came here from China last year, which is why we had an epidemic flu season last year with 3000 deaths and 55,000 hospitalizations, 2 to 3 times the average number of flu deaths. Latest research shows it worked it's way through some of the population that now has immunity, and this is why California doesn't seem to be hit as hard as NY or other metropolitan centers that size. It's a flu.

 Bro where did you read this?

If it came here from China last year what is the reason these people are giving for Wuhan being hit so hard?

March 16th – The Ferguson Report Is Released
On March 16th a professor from the Imperial College in London called Neil Ferguson used a mathematical computer model he created in 2009 to estimate the infection rate and death toll of the coronavirus.
he predicted 250,000 to 500,000 deaths in the UK alone
March 23rd UK goes on lockdown
March 25th – Ferguson Retracts His Prediction
On Wednesday 25th only 9 days after scaring the world into an unprecedented lock down Ferguson drags himself off out of “self isolation” to speak to a parliamentary committee and reveals that he has now readjusted his model and “now feels confident that the death toll in the UK will be below 20,000!”
So the guy who caused the world to shut down only 9 days before with doomsday figures predicting millions of deaths and saying we need to self isolate and practise social distancing for up to 18 months has now told parliament that he was wrong and the figure he now predicts is below 20,000.
What is astonishing is why this was not being reported on every mainstream media outlet as the biggest governmental cock up in history at this point. Yet we hear virtually nothing and the media continue to spread fear on a scale never seen.
Why Is His Retraction Not The Biggest News In The World?
  Thus far none of the models have been anywhere near accurate

Philly Police Drag Man From Bus for Not Wearing a Face Mask


The below video, shared on social media on Friday, shows multiple police officers in Philadelphia forcibly removing a man from a public bus for enforcing what was — apparently as a result of this incident — an exceptionally short-lived mandate requiring riders to wear face masks:



Under a new coronavirus-prompted policy, which went into effect Thursday under the name “Lifeline Service Schedule,” the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority announced service cuts and said it was “now asking all riders to wear masks or other facial coverings, consistent with new CDC guidelines, to protect both riders and operators.” This was apparently not a request, however, as riders soon began reporting instances of people not being allowed on public transit vehicles if they weren’t wearing a mask:

In a statement to WHYY on Friday, a SEPTA spokesperson confirmed that masks were indeed a requirement for customers, emphasizing that the agency was looking to avoid arresting anyone for violating the policy, and that “the covering can be as simple as a shirt, bandana or anything else someone can grab at home before they head out.” WHYY also reports that transit police were informed of the mandate on Wednesday in an emailed directive from the SEPTA police chief. It’s not clear if or how well this mandate was actually communicated to riders, however, or how widely it was enforced — or if it was even legal.

After the video of the rider’s violent ejection went viral, SEPTA officials said the policy was being reviewed and police said they were investigating the incident. SEPTA later rescinded the policy.

According to CBSN Philly, SEPTA operators briefly had the right to refuse service to customers who weren’t wearing masks, which is reportedly what happened on Friday:

During Friday’s press conference, Philadelphia Managing Director Brian Abernathy says the bus driver initially asked the man to get off the bus since he wasn’t wearing a mask. The bus driver then pulled over and called police after the man refused to leave.


“Police were not responding to the social distancing complaint, police were responding to the fact the person was asked to leave the bus and refused,” Abernathy said.

But as seen in the video, the passenger was not arrested or fined afterward, and as CBSN notes, “some sort of official boarded the bus telling everyone without a mask, that they had to exit or that police would physically remove them. That one man didn’t get off and that’s why he was physically removed.”

The Philly Transit Riders Union, which called attention to the incident on Friday, released a statement detailing SEPTA’s failures and highlighting a far easier way to have dealt with the situation. “If riding public transit requires a face mask,” the organization said, “then SEPTA must provide masks to transit workers and riders”:

On Thursday, SEPTA “urged” riders to wear face masks, despite masks still being listed as a prohibited item on other parts of SEPTA’s website. At some point later in the day, masks apparently became a “condition for riding transit,” although a rider would only know this if they asked SEPTA directly on Twitter. Bus operators received a conflicting message that transit riders did not have to wear a mask.



Under normal conditions, conflicting messages from SEPTA management might only cost riders their time– missed birthdays, graduations, job interviews, doctor’s appointments. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an interaction with an armed police officer could cost a Philly transit rider their life.

On Tuesday, the agency confirmed that three Philadelphia transit workers had been killed by COVID-19, and as of Friday, at least 100 SEPTA employees had tested positive for the coronavirus. While it hasn’t been hit anywhere near as hard as the MTA has in New York City, SEPTA has still been rocked by the virus and seen ridership plummet. The agency has also been accused of putting “profit over people” by Transport Workers Union Local 234 president Willie Brown, who has said SEPTA was too slow to enact policies to protect its workforce.

The now widely seen incident in Philadelphia obviously comes at a particularly tense time throughout the country, as authorities and the public navigate brand new legal and social norms amid efforts to confront and contain the coronavirus. The risk of contagion is one problem; the risk of violence and intolerance caused by fear or misunderstanding of contagion is another. And while wearing face masks in public may be what the CDC finally came around to recommending, that doesn’t mean everyone is going to find and wear one, or is going to feel safer if they do:

“This (wearing a homemade mask) seems like a reasonable response unless you just sort of take American society out of it. When you can’t do that, you’re basically telling people to look dangerous given racial stereotypes that are out there,” Trevon Logan, an economics professor at Ohio State University, recently explained to CNN. “This is in the larger context of black men fitting the description of a suspect who has a hood on, who has a face covering on. It looks like almost every criminal sketch of any garden-variety black suspect.”

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, public mask-wearing is undoubtedly going to become far more widespread in America, even if or when the threat of COVID-19 has passed. In the meantime, state, local, and federal authorities still seem to be designing their public-health policies on the fly, leaving lots of room for screwups, confusion, and overreach or abuse. Friday’s incident in Philadelphia is unlikely to be the last of its kind.

Yes. but good luck getting a single N95 mask right now let alone a new N95 mask for each day full you're out.

Also you'd really need to wear eye protection/googles with an N95 to provide you with superior protection. Otherwise you're not really that much more protected than you would be with a well fitted cloth mask.

It is still just A flu. Almost 98% of people infected survive.

So you tell me.  Are 2 million people in USA still going to die? So far the SCIENTIFIC community has had to "revise" their models 3 times. First it was 2 million were going to die. Then it was 100k to 200k. Now it is less than 100k, maybe it will be 40k.

Two years ago 60k people died of the flu in the USA. I believe this flu season has claimed over 30k SO FAR. And all that is with an existing flu shot. How come we are not stopping life and taking the same mediation measures every year?

I reckon the reason life isn't stopped every year is because it's manageable, this one wasn't.

The evidence that this virus isn't manageble is that every single country on the planet has acted with various types of lock downs.

As far as numbers dead - we will have to add to that list everybody that will die because of suicide, depression etc due to the mass unemployment that will follow in its steps.

Cloth masks protect against droplets, but not against aerosolization. N95 protect better against aerosolization, but aerosolization can still infect through the eyes.

This diagram should help. For now it would be best practice to leave the N95 masks for hospital staff. Just wear a cloth mask and some large glasses/shades, but this only works effectively if everyone wears a mask as infected people are then breathing/coughing into their mask and not into their surroundings.

Trump likes virus briefings. Some advisers worry he likes them too much.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cooped up in the White House, President Donald Trump sees the coronavirus
briefings as his main outlet of the day, a reminder for Americans that he is in charge of managing the greatest crisis of a lifetime. Plus, the ratings are good.

Some advisers, however, would prefer a less-is-more approach. They have quietly recommended he not spend so much time at the briefings to avoid being distracted from the challenge at hand and bickering with reporters.


"It's been suggested a few times, but he thinks it's just great, and all these ratings," said a source familiar with the situation.

After an initial bump, polls show approval ratings for Trump's handling of the pandemic have leveled off, a departure from the usual surge of support Americans typically show their president during a national crisis, such as the high ratings George W. Bush received after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

In a further blow, Trump is down against his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, in most recent national election polls, even though Biden has been reduced to appearing on video from a room in his home, unable to hold campaign events because of the virus.

All of this has caused some alarm among the president's advisers, in and out of the White House.

While Trump has boasted about the high numbers of Americans who tune in to the briefings, some of the advisers feel he would appear to be more in command if he came to the briefing room, delivered opening remarks and turned the proceedings over to the task force for the details.

"I don't think it's helping him," a Republican close to the White House said of Trump's lengthy appearances. "If you look at the polling, his job approval numbers are under water. And this is the high water mark part of this crisis. As time goes on, I think things get worse for him. He just hasn't gotten a huge bounce out of the 'rally around the president' aspect of the crisis."


The debate over the briefings is only part of how daily life has abruptly changed for Trump.

CAMPAIGN ON PAUSE

Six weeks ago, he was feeding off the energy of packed campaign rallies, watching the Democratic debates on television and critiquing each candidate's performance, spending weekends at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and playing rounds of golf.

Now, he is fetched up in the Oval Office or sitting at the end of a dining table in the room directly adjacent, TV on in the background, and a phone almost permanently held to his ear.

He talks to governors, emergency management officials, business leaders, lawmakers, people with problems for him to solve, others with solutions to offer. He has always spent many hours on the phone, aides say, but now there is an extra intensity.

His re-election campaign is on pause with no rallies planned and fund-raising events behind held online.

Advisers say Trump privately frets about the state of the collapsing economy, the strength of which earlier this year he had considered a crown jewel of his presidency and the best case for his re-election in November.

The drop-by meetings of counselors and friends that he craves have been sharply curtailed. Anybody who comes close to the president has to be tested for the virus, delaying in-person meetings and limiting the number of them.

The daily briefings are now Trump's main connection to the outside world. Aides said his participation every day was not initially intended. Vice President Mike Pence, head of the coronavirus task force, handled the first few on his own with members of his team. Trump then became more involved.

"He's not able to get out of the house right now which is tough. I thinks he just craves people and TV time. He can't go out and do any events," said the source familiar with the situation.

Trump has a speechwriter prepare an opening statement, but after reading it aloud he will often preside over a briefing and question-and-answer session that can last more than two hours.

Proceedings can frequently veer off track. One argument he got into earlier this week over whether people should vote by mail - he was opposed - was seen inside Trump's team as an example of why he should participate less in the briefings.

Others see a Trumpian strategy at play. Television networks have little choice but to air some or all of the briefings, which still receive high ratings as Americans marooned in their homes tune in for details on when the crisis might subside.

Cliff Sims, a former White House official for Trump, said the president is making good use of his appearances.

"They play to his strength as a communicator and make him an ubiquitous presence in people's lives during a crisis," he said.

The Hatfield House on Ormeau Road in south Belfast has been delivering freshly-poured pints of Guinness to customers across the Northern Irish capital since the coronavirus pandemic prompted the temporary closure of all pubs.

Using a state-of-the-art van kitted out with a portable tap system, the service was created to help cater to those missing the distinctive taste of a perfectly poured pint of the black stuff.

Customers simply call up Hatfield House, place their orders the day before delivery and, before they know it, a fresh pint of Guinness is on its way.

Mobile bar staff are also careful to ensure it’s a contact-free service too, with drinks poured on location into plastic glasses by bar staff wearing latex gloves which are then left on the doorstep.

Writing on Facebook, The Hatfield House said: "We are delighted to be able to offer all our customers the goodness of a freshly poured pint delivered to their home in the safety of isolation.

"The service areas in the mobile units are sanitised after every use for your safety. Looking forward to serving you all soon.

"Stay safe, stay home and let us bring the pub to you."

The pub was keen to stress any prospective customers approaching them on the street will be turned away – as rules over social distancing dictate.

They said: "Folks as with all our deliveries this is a contact free service please do not approach us on the street if you see us.

"We cannot accept an order unless it has been called through to the number above. This is for the safety of both our customers and staff."

With the lockdown likely to continue for the next few weeks at least, The Hatfield House is likely to be very busy.

2020 Burning Man Canceled, Virtual Black Rock City Staged Instead


You can add the annual Burning Man festival to the list of events affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Burning Man officials have revealed that the annual event in the desert has been canceled, but there is a virtual alternative coming.

The retreat into the Nevada desert was scheduled for the week of Aug. 30-Sept. 7, but the on-sale for Burning Man 2020 was halted last month as pandemic measures started being taken across the U.S. Organizers have offered a refund to those who purchased "early bird" tickets. However, it appears as though officials are also attempting to keep the spirit of Burning Man alive in the virtual world this year.

Honestly, I would like to see proof of this. When I first heard about it, it seemed bogus. Right now there are so many scientists and others doing multitudes of studies that I suspect everyone is searching for reasons why they are either less likely or more likely to become infected with the coronavirus...COVID-19 are willing to immediately buy into unproven theories.

Obviously, those who have less access to medical care are more likely to become seriously sick and possibly die from COVID-19. Whether or not some groups are more likely to contract the virus is at best, inconclusive.

Copy/Paste from FB but love this:




We’re seeing the most draconian measures enforced at all levels of government that we've ever seen in our lifetimes, and yet rather than being alarmed by the things going on, so many of you applaud.

People are being arrested for spending too much time outside, and you applaud.

Pastors are being arrested for daring to hold church services, and you applaud.

A child's birthday party is raided by police, and you applaud.

A young woman is ticketed for going on a leisurely drive alone because it's deemed "non-essential travel", and you applaud.

A parade of school teachers and administrators who wanted to drive through neighborhoods and wave at children is busted up by cops because they were "nonessential," and you applaud.

A lone paddleboarder in the ocean on a beach without any other people around is arrested because he's violating quarantine orders, and you applaud.

People are being denied life saving medical treatments because they're not a priority right now (not "essential" as deemed by the government) as the entirety of our medical system is focused on one thing, and you applaud.

Businesses are beings forcibly closed and padlocked and owners arrested for refusing to shut down, and you applaud.

Dairy farmers (and soon, other farmers) are being incentivized to stop dairy farming and to sell their herds, and you don't seem to understand the implications.

You're being told to use hotlines and online forms provided by your local governments to report your neighbors who don't obey, and you comply.

You scold people day after day for not obeying government edicts, and if any of us dare to question what's happening, you lecture about how we're a danger to society and and we just don't care about people dying.

You've somehow managed to convince yourselves that the people whose lives are affected by a virus are MUCH more important than the people whose lives are being destroyed (and in many cases, leading to death) by the effects of a worldwide economic shutdown and impending worldwide depression the likes of which no one has ever seen before.

At what point will you start QUESTIONING what's going on?

How far does the government have to push before you're jolted awake from your slumber? How far are you willing to go with this?

If they told you to load your families onto train cars so that you could be taken to Virus Protection Facilities for your own safety, would you do it?

YES. Yes, you would.

That much has become painfully obvious to me.

And the whole time, you'd be shaking your finger and yelling at those of us who refused, accusing us of being "a danger to society" and "not caring if people die."

But they don't have to load you onto train cars and take you to Virus Protection Facilities, or force you to comply, because you do that voluntarily.

They control your mind.

They control you through fear.

They control you by convincing you that the world is a scary dangerous place, but they're here to protect you, care for you, and keep you safe, just as long as you OBEY.

They know that as long as you're locked inside your comfortable home with Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a cell phone, while dangling a $1200 check in front of you like a carrot on a stick, you'll comply.

No force is necessary for the majority of the herd.

YOU ARE IMPRISONED, willingly, and you're too blind to see it.”

Trump’s propaganda-laden, off-the-rails coronavirus briefing


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trumps-propaganda-laden-off-the-rails-coronavirus-briefing/ar-BB12zZlm

Near the start of his daily coronavirus briefing on Monday, President Trump made a statement that betrayed, better than just about anything, how he views the purpose of such briefings.


Before playing a campaign-style video intended to show his decisive action on the virus and to accuse his critics of being the actual culprits on downplaying the threat, Trump cued it up by talking about what he wanted to do after the it played.

“Most importantly,” he said, “we’re going to get back on to the reason we’re here, which is the success we’re having.”

Trump’s self-promotion, falsehoods and use of dodgy medical advice in these coronavirus briefings have already led to a dialogue about whether networks should even carry them live. And on Monday, he seemed to be daring all of them to stop, turning the whole thing into a spectacle of government-produced propaganda and even more personal score-settling and grievances.

News to stay informed. Advice to stay safe.

Most notable was the video that was played. In it, media figures were shown early in the outbreak comparing the virus to the seasonal flu, as Trump has been criticized for doing much later on. Other clips played up the impact of his ban on travel from China, while yet more showed Trump personally making pronouncements about the steps he was taking — even at a time he was repeatedly and much more strongly downplaying the threat of the virus.

Trump was pressed on the production of the video, and he said it was made by White House officials.

Trump proceeded to downplay many complaints about the federal response, going so far as to say that there is no problem with the number of ventilators and other equipment available. The reality is significantly different, according to the states.

Trump also at one point maintained, “Everything we did was right.” When pressed on the claim, he declined to restate it but cast blame on governors for not stockpiling more ventilators.

Slideshow by photo services

It was soon noted that the video Trump had cued up left out a significant chunk of time in February — after the China travel ban and before Trump acknowledged the severity of the situation in mid-March — in which he didn’t take significant steps.

“What did you do in February?” CBS News’s Paula Reid asked.

Trump responded, “What do you do when you have no cases in the whole United States?” Reid rightly noted that there were actually cases in February, but Trump ignored it, refocusing on the lack of cases in mid-January. Pressed, he assured that the administration had in February done “a lot, and in fact we’ll give you a list."

Indeed, Trump repeatedly suggested a false choice between shutting down the economy in January and doing something lesser either then or in February, when health officials were reportedly asking for more significant warnings and social distancing. He suggested it would be foolish to shut down the economy when there were no or extremely few cases in January, while failing to enunciate any steps taken in February.

Trump also used the briefing to repeatedly suggest he had absolute power to deal with the situation, despite the Constitution and centuries of Supreme Court precedent. He said that he had “ultimate authority" and said, “The president of the United States has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do, which is very powerful. The president of the United States calls the shots.” He added later that “when somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s gonna be.”

This is unquestionably false, but Vice President Pence backed him up later in the briefing.

“Make no mistake about it: In the long history of this country, the authority of the president of the United States during national emergencies is unquestionably plenary,” Pence said, using a synonym for “absolute.” “You can look back through times of war and other national emergencies. And as the president said, we’ll happily brief that.”

Click to expand
Another key moment in the briefing came at the outset, when Trump welcomed one of the lead doctors on the coronavirus task force, Anthony S. Fauci, to address an apparent rift between him and Trump. Trump had on Sunday night retweeted a tweet that included a call for Fauci to be fired, after Fauci said in an interview earlier in the day that certain recommendations made by health officials hadn’t been heeded.

Fauci dealt with the subject obliquely, saying that when the officials “formally” asked for something amounting to a shutdown of large portions of the economy, Trump listened. In fact, though, the New York Times report he was responding to Sunday was not that the officials had asked for a shutdown, but that they had recommended in February that people be warned about the dangers of the virus and to encourage social distancing. Such guidelines weren’t actually made by Trump until mid-March.


Fauci, as he has done before, downplayed the idea that he and Trump were at odds — even as he has repeatedly said things that suggested as much. He was pressed on whether he was making the statement voluntarily, and he bristled.

“Everything I do is voluntarily,” he said. “Please don’t even imply that.”

Given the spectacle that surrounded him, though, it was hardly ridiculous to ask whether he was being compelled to toe a line that Trump had set. Everything else in these briefings has suggested a president who insists upon it — including the marshaling of government resources to provide a misleading narrative and a president who demands constant credit while ignoring the facts on the ground.

I am far from a knee-jerk critic of Trump, but this press briefing has to be one of the most embarrassing moments of his presidency. Just an utterly unhinged, childish temper tantrum.

In for some drama?

STEP 1: Grab a cup of coffee.
STEP 2: Click the Instagram app.
STEP 3: Type “Bill Gates”.
STEP 4: Read the comments on his last Instagram post.

They keep deleting comments but people come back for more.

If he ever considered being president, I guess this is a little taste 😂

I could only imagine Trump thinking to himself: that’s nothing, Bill.

NYC Adds Nearly 4,000 People Who Never Tested Positive To Coronavirus Death Tolls >:(

https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/14/nyc-numbers-coronavirus-death-toll/ (https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/14/nyc-numbers-coronavirus-death-toll/)

Quote
New York City added nearly 4,000 people who never tested positive for the coronavirus to its death toll Tuesday, bringing coronavirus-related deaths in the city to around 10,000 people.

The city decided to add 3,700 people to its death tolls, who they “presumed” to have died from the virus, according to a report from The New York Times. The additions increased the death toll in the U.S. by 17%, according to the Times report, and included people who were suffering from symptoms of the virus, such as intense coughing and a fever. (RELATED: How The Coronavirus Is Infecting Americans’ Civil Liberties)

The Times stated:

-----------------------------

“A limited number of tests have been available, and until now, only deaths where a person had tested positive were counted among those killed by the virus in New York.”

“Breaking News: New York City’s coronavirus death toll soared past 10,000 after officials added more than 3,700 people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it. https://t.co/NXpgwwltWi”

“— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 14, 2020”

-----------------------------

The report stated that Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided over the weekend to change the way the city is counting deaths.

“In the heat of battle, our primary focus has been on saving lives,” de Blasio press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the Times.“ As soon as the issue was raised, the mayor immediately moved to release the data.”

The Times report added that health officials have had difficulty counting the exact number of deaths, because of the demographics who have been hit the hardest by the virus.

“Public health officials say that counting the dead from a pandemic disease like Covid-19 presents difficulties because many of those who die are older or suffering from other serious health conditions,” they wrote. “And the full effects of the outbreak on mortality in New York City, and around the country, could take many more months to study and understand.”

New York City is not the only city in the U.S. to include presumptive coronavirus deaths in their total. Several health departments in Ohio announced last week that they were going to begin including people who they “suspected” of having the virus.

Top White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed concerns last week over inflated coronavirus death counts as a  “conspiracy theory.”


It might not be a conspiracy ,but if the US -for whatever reason - is the only country in the world recording Coronavirus deaths this way , it simply underscores how difficult it is to compare how different countries are doing.


"Of the 63,927 people confirmed coronavirus patients in Italy, 6,077 so far have died. By contrast China has many more cases, 81,496, but 3,274 fatalities.

In very crude terms, this means that around nine per cent of confirmed coronavirus patients have died in Italy, compared to four per cent in China. By this measure Germany, which has so far identified 28,865 cases and 118 deaths, has a fatality rate of just 0.4 per cent.

So why the disparity?

……………......…..

[Prof Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, added that Italy’s death rate appears high] because of how doctors record fatalities.

“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.

On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says. ""

At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.


Apparently I underestimated how far they would go. They included people who didn’t even test positive.

Exactly. They do whatever they are told and/or whatever they are paid to do. They don't work "in" anything they only work "for" whatever is in their best interest. And why not? They still get paid by the people who are no longer getting paid. Cut off their means to make a living and they would be singing a different tune. To them it's nothing that they they save lives while preventing a person's livelihood.

I found a way to become unscrewed from the novel coronavirus today. I reached out to a friend with whom I'd had a falling out a couple of years ago. I've tried to contact him before, but he's a bit of a hermit and doesn't answer his phone, his doorbell or respond to emails. I'd all but given up on calling, emailing and leaving notes. Anyway, he picked up the phone today and we ended up chatting for over an hour. It was like nothing upsetting ever happened to screw up our decades long friendship. When this "personal distancing" is lifted, we will have lunch and another long talk.

A few days ago, another friend who I had not heard from is quite awhile called me just so see if I was okay. I wasn't home when he called so i texted him back. Looks like I'll be having a lot of lunches with friends when all is said and done. This is the time to reach out to others that maybe you've lost contact with or don't talk to really often. What better way to spend our time than reconnecting with old friends.

Preliminary German Study Shows a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate of About 0.4 Percent

Preliminary results are out from a COVID-19 case cluster study in one of the regions worst hit by Germany's coronavirus epidemic. They are somewhat reassuring.

One often-heard statistic is the "case fatality rate"—that is, the percentage of people diagnosed with a disease who will die of it. This afternoon that figure stands at 3.5 percent for COVID-19 in the U.S., but this rate is significantly inflated because it does not count asymptomatic cases or undiagnosed people who recover at home. What we really need to know is the infection fatality rate: the percentage of all the people infected who eventually die of the disease. That's what the German study attempts to do.

Over the last two weeks, German virologists tested nearly 80 percent of the population of Gangelt for antibodies that indicate whether they'd been infected by the coronavirus. Around 15 percent had been infected, allowing them to calculate a COVID-19 infection fatality rate of about 0.37 percent. The researchers also concluded that people who recover from the infection are immune to reinfection, at least for a while.

For comparison, the U.S. infection fatality rates for the 1957–58 flu epidemic was around 0.27 percent; for the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, it was about 2.6 percent. For seasonal flu, the rate typically averages around 0.1 percent. Basically, the German researchers found that the coronavirus kills about four times as many infected people than seasonal flu viruses do.

The German researchers caution that it would be wrong to extrapolate these regional results to the whole country. But they also believe these findings show that lockdowns can begin to be lifted, as long as people maintain high levels of hygiene to keep COVID-19 under control.

Outrageous...^

the situation is getting more rigged as time goes on....

The testing is highly questionable, so all those figures are getting more and more convoluted,

the death stats, already half rigged (attributing deaths to the virus when people were half gone already), have now gone full rigged at this point, with NY and whoever else, attributing 4000 extra deaths to this chinavirus based on symptoms of SB coughing and fever? With no positive test results.

Give me a break, these are non specific symptoms.... What about all the flu deaths CDC and WHO are always on about, all those are on the "covid" bandwagon now...? False negative flu testing is just as common and messed up as this chinavirus testing clusterfuck.

We've got massive paranoia and confirmation bias occurring in testing, reporting, and enforcement. Meaning all the stats are blown up and overstating the real situation. Even with this rigging, the worldwide situation going by the inflated stats is easing.

The average vaccine, taken from the preclinical phase, requires a development timeline of 10.71 years  and has a market entry probability of 6% "


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3603987/ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3603987/)



There has been a number of human coronaviruses and no vaccine has yet been developed ,put though clinical trials and approved for production , for any of them.


The seven coronaviruses known to infect humans are:

1) Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1)
2) SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for the ongoing COVID-19 or  Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic)
3) Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), also known as camel flu

4) Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E)  (responsible for the Common Cold)
5) Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) (responsible for the Common Cold)
6) Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63)  (more commonly found in outpatients than hospitalized patients,  suggesting that it is a common cold virus similar to HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43, which generally cause less severe symptom)
7) Human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1)

Demand for "travel nurses" jumped during March and early April in cities like New Orleans, and especially New York, which saw the nation's largest spike in cases of COVID-19, the deadly respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

But New York, which ramped up its hospital bed capacity to around 90,000, has had only about 18,000 patients hospitalized for the past several days.

Just because there are no obvious physical symptoms doesn't mean it hasn't had an effect on the body. A lot of asymptomatic people lose lung power. You wouldn't really notice this unless you're an athlete performing close to their max or something like a trumpet player. I was asymptomatic, but when I looked back something did change. I started snoring (not breathing as well at night). I've never snored, not even I was 50lbs heavier. Took nearly 5 weeks for that to go away.

Also go tell the people who have had symptoms that there are no symptoms and then tell me how well that works out for you.

It's likely much more complicated than that, and we won't know the real reason for a while.  We do know it affects men more than women.

Somewhat unrelated.  A pregnant woman who got exposed to very high, lethal levels of radiation in the 80s at Chernobyl should have had a quick, agonizing death.  Instead, she survived and gave birth while experiencing little to no symptoms of radiation poisoning.

The baby died shortly after birth.  She was told that her unborn baby had absorbed most if not all of the radiation like a sponge, thus saving her life.  She was told too that she could never again have a baby, but she did get pregnant again and have a baby.  She and her grown kid are still alive today.

What exactly have I been scammed by? Nearly 2 months back before anything happened I said there would be an increase in deaths because of a faster rate of spread, but then it would fizzle out. That's exactly what's happening. Meanwhile you're reacting to the situation thinking you're all clued up, but really you're just late to the party and looking for people to blame. What were you doing 4 weeks ago other than thumbing your ass?

There are numerous posts of mine I could bring up.

Just want to quote this again as this is may be the sanest post in this thread.

The at risk groups appear to be the elderly, long term smokers, diabetics etc. Basically the same at risk groups as the flu.

It will likely cause more deaths than flu because it seems to show little to no symptoms in healthy individuals, so it has the potential to spread must faster.

As for the doom and gloom merchants. I feel for your mental health and chances are this will fizzle out in the next few months as the weather warms up. Stay safe and don't panic.


The Chinese type of quarantine will be impossible in most Western nations, even if they wanted to implement it. Most people just don't live in blocks of flats/apartments. I don't think it's needed either though, they just need to slow the spread and the warming weather will take care of the rest.

I think there is a chance the market will bear for a while after the quarantine. How many businesses can survive a month without customers, without sales, without production? How many will go bankrupt 3 months or even 6 months down the line.. If the recent market has all been a house of cards then it looks like it could be ready to collapse. It's definitely not looking good for a lot of people.

I'll be staying away from banking, but aero is of big interest.


You think too short term. Do you think the current systems in place were working? The things you mention infrastructure, supply chains, medical facilities, taxes had reached a tipping point or become unsustainable. Why don't you try look at the maths there.

If this isn't a man made virus then nature has done us  favour. If anything though the virus still isn't lethal enough and systems that need to change probably won't change enough.

You need to take a long term view and stop acting like it's the end of the world. The markets will be fine. It will take a beating, but this isn't a banking crisis where bailouts are needed. It will bounce back far quicker. The extra attention people will now pay to hygiene will mean cases of other bugs and virus will plummet. You would hope countries will learn lessons from this when it come to over reliance on things from China and India. Won't hold my breath on that one though.

What was Thinlizzy doing a month ago when I had basically called what needed to happen and has subsequently happened?

It's stupid, but necessary. If everyone just carried on as normal we'd be fine, but with people panicking we can't have that.

Covid-19 however is more serious than Swine flu by a factor of 10, so some extra precautionary measures are understandable.

Working from home, self isolating when needed, no crowds etc are all reasonable steps, but cancelling everything when it can be done behind closed doors is just an overreaction.

The warmer weather and extra sunlight is keeping Australia and the southern hemisphere relatively safe from the spread right now.

If remnants of the virus survive the Northern hemisphere summer then we could see the virus re-emerge in the southern hemisphere winter.

The good thing about the panic is that in general people are taking more care with their hygiene now, so we may end up seeing a drop off in the numbers suffering from the common cold and flu.

Here is the truth.

Want to know why they are falsely inflating the death toll numbers for Chinese Wuhan virus?

There are two reasons:

1. To try and hurt President Trump. The more deaths that can be pinned on Chinese Wuhan virus, the more they think it will hurt him.

2. Money. If a Medicare patient is diagnosed with non-Chinese Wuhan virus pneumonia, then the hospital receives a one-time Medicare lump-sum payment of $4600. However, if that Medicare patient is diagnosed with Chinese Wuhan virus pneumonia, the Medicare coverage is a one-time payment of $13,000. And if the hospital uses a ventilator on the Chinese Wuhan virus patient, the one-time payment is $39,000.

This information comes from Minnesota State Senator Dr. Scott Jensen.

I will. Thanks for posting the article

"Two separate teams of scientists studying the genetics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the region came to similar conclusions: People were spreading the virus in New York as early as late January, before more widespread testing began, and it came mostly from Europe, not Asia."

The Virus was likely around in Jan/Feb in a lot of places. Itt just wasn't yet diagnosed.

As I have already said a few times on here, don't be surprised if by now 15 to 20% of the Western world have already had the virus. Some places will even be much higher.

I'll be sure to quote this for your benefit once the antibody data starts coming in.

1. But how is the media inflating the numbers? If anything, it would have to be Trump's own government the ones doing it.

I guess the media could play with the numbers here and there, but increasing the number of deaths by let's say 20k seems unlikely. They would get caught pretty quickly.

Both he and DeBlasio were very slow to act and didn’t take the virus seriously until somebody got in their year. He’ll know when to open up when he gets his marching orders. He might talk like a tough guy but he’s got to bend over if he wants to get DC money.


CNBC: New York and other East Coast states extend shutdown to May 15

“So, one month, we’ll continue the close-down policies. What happens after then? I don’t know,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said

Hopefully they will keep NY and the Northeast shut down for another couple years, haha. I lived in the state of NY many years until I got smart and left, business and all. One of the most poorly run states out there. The taxes are outrageous because they go to support the unions primarily. Hopefully the economic collapse of NY will screw the unions lol

Soggy, you'd be better of just giving your immune system a boost and then focus on maintaining it. A functioning immune system is better than any pharma drugs right now.

Highish doses of
Vitamin d3
Iodine and potassium iodide
Vitamin C
Zinc
probiotic

Then just eat healthy, but if you struggle with that stick to lower doses of the above or a very good multi

gee- where would we be without Flexadoc dispenses his high level info on here, haha.

It’s a great state except for the government which is an abomination.

I would like to be able to read trumps mind on this. While he officially moved to Florida, his business headquarters and most of his real estate holdings are still in New York City. No way he would be setting fire to his own house.

You might be right about the Unions. I’m sure he hates them having to deal with them for many years.

Hopefully, it’s also a plan to get Republican leadership here.

Thanks for the advice. Without listing them, I can tell you that I take an excellent array of supplements which includes those you've mentioned and many more. You do realize that HGC and Arimidex have a very specific purpose having to do maintaining hormone balance for people on TRT? I've always had a healthy diet.

Close the world down for at least 2-3 months because 136k people died since November and 1/2 of those were just "use your best judgement if they died from COVID without testing them

The numbers are only that low as we have done a first on history locking down half the planet.The crux of it is really very simple, the main worry is hospitals get overloaded, then nobody can get treatment for anything, riots start, widespread panic that makes current look like childsplay, then everything else falls like dominos.The lockdown is so hospitals do not get overloaded.

I dont understand how we elected a governor THIS STUPID.

California reported 87 new deaths from the coronavirus outbreak, one of the highest daily fatality counts so far, as the governor says that the state may not be close to loosening measures imposed to curb the spread.

The total death toll was 1,072, Governor Gavin Newsom said in his daily briefing. The number of cases climbed 5.3%, while patients in intensive care fell by a “modest” 0.1%, he said.

“We have certainly flattened the curve,” Newsom said. “For those that think we’re out of the woods, those who think we’ve turned the page, those who think we can go back to the way things used to be, I caution you on the basis of that 87 number.”

California was the first U.S. state to impose stay-home orders amid the outbreak, and cities such as Los Angeles have recently extended those measures by two weeks to May 15.

Newsom Names A-List Panel to Revive, Remake California Economy

L.A. County, the state’s biggest by population, reported a record 81 deaths as it added 642 new cases, county officials said, calling it “a sad milestone.”

Medicine and the media finally catching up.  Gebiggers had already long established that the Corona was engineered to target fatties.  Somewhere along the way, the virus mutated, turned racist and started targeting blacks too.

Obesity Linked to Severe Coronavirus Disease, Especially for Younger Patients

Obesity may be one of the most important predictors of severe coronavirus illness, new studies say. It is an alarming finding for the United States, which has one of the highest obesity rates in the world.

Although people with obesity frequently have other medical problems, the new studies point to the condition in and of itself as the most significant risk factor, after only older age, for being hospitalized with COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus. Young adults with obesity appear to be at particular risk, studies show.

They are late to a lot of shit. I've known about the potential of blood transfusions for a while now as a treatment and only now are they trailing it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52348368

Also the whole black/minority thing isn't that hard to explain. They are usually fatter, eat more processed foods, smoke more/do more drugs, have more cases of diabetes and heart disease, do more public facing jobs (how many blacks have jobs they can do from home right now?) and they can't produce vitamin d as easily which is important for a healthy immune system.

Obesity results in fat necks and guts so their breathing is already comprised by smaller airways and less room for the lungs to expand. Add a bad case of covid to that and they are starting recovery with a handicap.

Something I didn't even think was possible until I read about it somewhere is that you can lose a lung, a whole lung, from years of untreated acid reflux.  My understanding is that people who eat a lot of carbs, processed foods, and/or are overweight suffer from chronic acid reflux and many do nothing about it for years.  Little do they know one or both of their lungs are badly damaged as a result.  I imagine these people have little chance of surviving Corona.

Sweden claims coronavirus success after keeping country open, says herd immunity imminent
NY Daily News ^ | APR 19, 2020 | By KATE FELDMAN


Criticized for refusing to lock down, Sweden’s top health official says herd immunity is inevitable and took credit for the slowing of coronavirus numbers.

“According to our modelers, we are starting to see so many immune people in the population in Stockholm that it is starting to have an effect on the spread of the infection,” Anders Tegnell, who led the charge to keep Sweden open, told local media. “Our models point to some time in May.”

Despite social distancing guidelines from the World Health Organization, Sweden has resisted lockdowns, instead keeping open schools, gyms, bars and restaurants and relying on citizens to caution themselves.

Tegnell’s comments echo thoughts about herd immunity, in which most of the population is infected with the assumption that those who survive will not be infected again, floated by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But Johnson eventually folded to the advice of health officials and shut down the United Kingdom.

People with acid reflux are doubly screwed because if they take proton pump inhibitors to manage it then they are killing off the gut microbiome which is what helps the bodies immune response. PPIs basically cause immune suppression.

It's scary how this virus is causing all these ducks to line up.

Modern farming and medication enables poor diets and lifestyles and it meant people were happy to live in ignorance. A virus comes along targeting these people and now these people are begging to be saved by the very people who enabled them.

Even if herd immunity only lasts for a year or 2 the bodys immune system does have a memory system so potentially it could recognise the virus and deal with it much faster if immunity was lost.

It will still spread, but for those who had moderate to severe symptoms it should be much milder. Only the immunocompromised would need vaccinating.

Most places just weren't equipped to go with the herd immunity strategy or have too dense or too large a population to do it in one go.

Compare Sweden and its population of 10 million with London which has the same population. Swedish deaths are at 1600 and London is at 4000.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump's misdirection on virus testing, deaths

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is falsely assigning blame to governors and the Obama administration for shortages in coronavirus testing.


For much of the week, he was pretender to a throne that didn't exist as he claimed king-like powers over the pandemic response and Congress. But by the weekend, he was again saying governors called the shots and they are the ones to blame — not the federal government, not him — for any testing problems.

He says governors aren’t using all the testing capacity that the federal government has created. It's not true.

Meanwhile, Trump denied praising China’s openness in the pandemic, when he’s on record doing so repeatedly, and declared victory over what he calls relatively low death rates in the U.S. But that’s too soon to tell.

A look at his recent rhetoric and its relationship with reality.

TESTING

TRUMP, on governors urging wider availability of virus tests: “They don’t want to use all of the capacity that we’ve created. We have tremendous capacity. ...They know that. The governors know that. The Democrat governors know that; they’re the ones that are complaining.” — news briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: Trump’s assertion that governors are not using already available testing capacity is contradicted by one of his top health advisers. He’s also wrong that Democrats are the only ones expressing concerns about the adequacy of COVID-19 testing; several Republican governors also point to problems.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious disease expert, told The Associated Press that the U.S. does not yet have the critical testing and tracing procedures needed to begin reopening the nation’s economy.

“We have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on, and we’re not there yet,” Fauci, a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, said Tuesday.

Among Fauci’s top concerns: that there will be new outbreaks in locations where social distancing has eased, and that public health officials don’t yet have the capabilities to rapidly test for the virus, isolate any new cases and track down everyone that an infected person came into contact with.

His concerns are echoed by several Republicans.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon, a Republican, on Friday said his state’s testing capacity was inadequate and urged a larger role for the federal government.

He said states have been competing with each other to try to get more testing supplies, a process he described as “a slog.”

“It’s a perilous set of circumstances trying to figure out how to make this work, and until we’ve got the testing up to speed — which has got to be part of the federal government stepping in and helping — we’re just not going to be there.”

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, plans to keep applying pressure on the Food and Drug Administration to address the rationing of a key component that is necessary to produce tests. He said full testing capacity can’t be reached unless it is more widely distributed.

Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Sunday called the lack of virus testing “probably the No. 1 problem in America, and has been from the beginning of this crisis.”

“And I can tell you, I talk to governors on both sides of the aisle nearly every single day,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The administration, I think, is trying to ramp up testing, and trying — they are doing some things with respect to private labs. But to try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing, and they should just get to work on testing, somehow we aren’t doing our job, is just absolutely false. ”

TRUMP: “Some partisan voices are attempting to politicize the issue of testing, which they shouldn’t be doing, because I inherited broken junk.” — news briefing Saturday.

TRUMP: “We inherited a broken, terrible system.” — news briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: His repeated insistence that the Obama administration is to blame for initial delays in testing is wrong. The novel coronavirus did not exist until late last year, so there was no test to inherit.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instead struggled to develop its own test for the coronavirus in January, later discovering problems in its kits sent to state and county public health labs in early February.

It took the CDC more than two weeks to come up with a fix to the test kits, leading to delays in diagnoses through February, a critical month when the virus took root in the U.S. Not until Feb. 29 did the FDA decide to allow labs to develop and use their own coronavirus diagnostic tests before the agency reviews them, speeding up the supply. Previously, the FDA had only authorized use of a government test developed by the CDC.

Meantime the U.S. bypassed a test that the World Health Organization quickly made available internationally. Trump has said that test was flawed; it wasn’t.

___

DEATH RATES

TRUMP: “The United States has produced dramatically better health outcomes than any other country. ... On a per capita basis, our mortality rate is far lower than other nations of Western Europe, with the lone exception of possibly Germany. ... You hear we have more death. But we’re a much bigger country than any of those countries by far.“ — news briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: His suggestion that the U.S. response to the coronavirus has been better than many other countries’ because its mortality rate is “far lower” is unsupported and misleading.

In each country, for instance, the age and overall health of the population are important factors. Many countries in western Europe such as Italy have an older population than the U.S., and seniors are at an especially high risk of death from COVID-19.

Beyond age, underlying health conditions increase risk, too. Indeed, an AP analysis of available state and local data found nearly one-third of U.S. deaths are among African Americans, with black people representing about 14% of the population in the areas covered in the analysis. Health conditions such as obesity, diabetes and asthma are more common in the black community.

But more broadly, it’s too early to know the real death rate from COVID-19 in any country. Look at a count kept by Johns Hopkins University, and you can divide the number of recorded deaths with the number of reported cases. The math nevertheless provides a completely unreliable measurement of death rates, and the Johns Hopkins tally is not intended to be that.

First, the count changes every day as new infections and deaths are recorded.

More important, every country is testing differently. Knowing the real denominator, the true number of people who become infected, is key to determining what portion of them die. Some countries, the U.S. among them, have had trouble making enough tests available. When there’s a shortage of tests, the sickest get tested first. Even with a good supply of tests, someone who’s otherwise healthy and has mild symptoms may not be tested and thus go uncounted.

The only way to tell how many went uncounted early on is to do a completely different kind of testing — blood tests of the population to find how many people bear immune system antibodies to the virus, something only now starting in selected places.

___

TRUMP: “China has just announced a doubling in the number of their deaths from the Invisible Enemy. It is far higher than that and far higher than the U.S., not even close!” — tweet Friday.

THE FACTS: It’s the reverse, more than 4,600 recorded deaths in China compared with more than 36,000 in the United States. And the notion that China can overtake the U.S. in a final accounting of the dead is a long shot right now.

Even with the upward revision Friday of Chinese deaths — which was not a doubling, as Trump claimed — the recorded U.S. death toll is about seven times higher than China’s, according to the count by Johns Hopkins University as of Friday night. And China has more than four times more people.

The full picture is not known in either country. Trump routinely manipulates information to make the U.S response to the coronavirus pandemic look better than it is. China’s secretive leadership obscured the severity of the crisis for crucial weeks, and its numbers remain in question.

As well, deaths from the virus have not been fully reported in either country because the pandemic is still raging in the U.S. and still being accounted for in China.

But for China to surpass the U.S. in this count, it would have to be underreporting deaths by the tens of thousands, and deaths in the U.S. would have to nosedive from the current trend and projections.

___

CHINA vs. US

TRUMP: “China was supposed to catch us. ... For years, I’ve heard, ‘By 2019, China will catch us.’ There’s only one problem: Trump got elected in 2016. That was a big difference. And we were going leaps and bounds above China.” — news briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: No matter who got elected in 2016 — Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton — China’s economy could not have caught up to America’s.

Even if the U.S. economy had not grown at all since 2016, China’s gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic output — would have had to have surged by 79% in three years to pull even with America’s. That comes to growth of more than 21% a year — something even China’s super-charged economy has never approached.

Before the coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese economy had been slowly narrowing the gap because every year it grows much faster than America’s. In 2019, for example, the International Monetary Fund predicted Chinese GDP to increase 6.2%, more than double the 2.6% growth it expects for the United States. The global pandemic isn’t expected to change that trend line: last week, the IMF said the U.S economy will fall 5.9% this year and China’s will manage to grow 1.2%.

That means China has got a long way to go to surpass the U.S., whether Trump is president or not.

___

EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY

TRUMP: “Some in the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect ... It is the decision of the President.” — tweets on April 13.

TRUMP, asked about his level of authority to reopen the country: “I have the ultimate authority.... They can’t do anything without the approval of the president of the United States.” — news briefing on April 13.

THE FACTS: The federal government did not close down the country and won’t be reopening it. Restrictions on public gatherings, workplaces, mobility, store operations, schools and more were ordered by states and communities, not Washington. The federal government has imposed border controls; otherwise its social distancing actions are mostly recommendations, not mandates.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, knocking down a series of false rumors about the coronavirus, makes clear that “states and cities are responsible for announcing curfews, shelters in place, or other restrictions and safety measures.”

Trump has argued that states and communities imposed restrictions because he let them and that he can overrule their decisions. Constitutional experts disagree.

“The president can un-declare his national emergency declarations, which freed up federal funds and provided assistance to state and local governments,” said Walter Dellinger, a former acting U.S. solicitor general. “But he has no federal statutory or constitutional power to override steps taken by governors and mayors under state law. He has never understood that he lacks a general power to rule by decree.”

The federal government does have broad constitutional authority over states on things that cross state lines and involve the entire nation, such as regulating interstate commerce and immigration, levying taxes or declaring war. What Trump is proposing, however, is different. He is wading into states’ sharply defined powers to protect public health.

Asked what authority he had to make such an assertion of presidential power, Trump promised earlier in the week that he would provide a legal memorandum supporting his view. By Thursday, he hadn't and he told governors that day they could reopen states when they deem appropriate.

___

TRUMP: “If the House will not agree to that adjournment, I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress.” — news briefing Wednesday.

THE FACTS: His power to adjourn Congress is highly questionable.

The Constitution does not spell out a unilateral power for the president to adjourn Congress. It states only that he can decide on adjournment if there is a dispute over that matter between the House and Senate. Such a disagreement does not exist, nor is it likely to arise.

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley said on Twitter the Constitution gives a president authority in “extraordinary occasions” to convene or adjourn Congress. But, he said, “This power has never been used and should not be used now.”

Trump is unhappy that Congress has refused to fully adjourn during most breaks. Because Congress is still formally in session, Trump can't circumvent Congress and unilaterally put his nominees for various positions to work in the jobs he wants them to have. Lawmakers also used the tactic of holding off on adjournment to thwart some of President Barack Obama’s nominees.

Doug Andres, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said McConnell will find ways to confirm nominees essential to the pandemic response but Senate rules will require that the Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, give consent to move forward on them.

___

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

TRUMP, explaining in part why he is freezing money to the World Health Organization: “The WHO willingly took China’s assurances to face value, and they took it just at face value and defended the actions of the Chinese government, even praising China for its so-called transparency. I don’t think so.” — news briefing Tuesday.

TRUMP, asked about his past praise of China: “I don’t talk about China’s transparency.” — news briefing Tuesday.

THE FACTS: He did praise China's transparency as well as its overall performance in the pandemic.

While it's true that WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus complimented China's response, Trump early on similarly took China's assurances at face value.

In a CNBC interview on Jan. 22, Trump was asked if he trusted information from China about the coronavirus. "I do,” Trump said. “I have a great relationship with President Xi.”

Two days later, he was even more effusive. “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus,” he tweeted. "The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. ...I want to thank President Xi!"

Trump kept up the compliments when asked several times in February about whether data from China can be trusted,. He called Xi “extremely capable” and said he's “doing a very good job with a very, very tough situation.”

Such praise faded as the pandemic hit hard in the U.S. and the federal response stumbled. The time was ripe for scapegoats. It also become clearer that China had not been forthcoming at the start.

On March 21, Trump said of his earlier remarks: “China was transparent at that time, but when we saw what happened, they could have been transparent much earlier than they were." In any event, his denial that he ever praised China's openness is false.

TRUTH.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/inconsistent-ihme-model-changes-again-to-project-8-000-fewer-coronavirus-deaths-than-previous-week (https://www.theblaze.com/news/inconsistent-ihme-model-changes-again-to-project-8-000-fewer-coronavirus-deaths-than-previous-week)

Erratic IHME model changes again to project 8,000 fewer coronavirus deaths than previous week.

Quote
The coronavirus projection model from the University of Washington's Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation again revised the number of expected COVID-19 deaths to project 8,000 fewer overall U.S. deaths than it did the previous week.

The IHME model is possibly the most prominent of all available projection models, and likely has influence in state and federal government decisions about when to relax the social distancing policies, which have been deemed necessary to slow the spread of the virus, but that have had disastrous economic impact nationwide.

The new projection: On Friday, the IHME model projected a total of 60,308 U.S. COVID-19 deaths, with an estimate range of 34,063 to 140,381. On April 13, it projected 68,841 deaths and a range of 30,188 to 175,965.

The IHME model produced the projections that led President Donald Trump and the White House coronavirus response task force to announce that even if Americans did everything right, as many as 240,000 people would die of the coronavirus by the end of the summer.
The model has also overestimated the number of hospitalizations and the number of needed ventilators, and those projections have had political implications and also been economically damaging for health care providers that shut down all nonessential medical procedures to prepare for COVID-19 surges that, in some areas, never arrived.

What's the problem? The IHME model's method of producing projections has led to inaccuracy and volatility, both of which make it unhelpful for forming public health policy, according to STAT News. The model looks at the progression of the virus in other countries with earlier outbreaks, tries to determine where the U.S. fits on that bell curve progression, and produces projections from there.

The model assumes that the U.S. curve will mimic the curve in other countries, without accounting for all the variables such as differences in social distancing policy and different timing for implementing those policies. Because it is a statistical model that started with very little U.S. data, it can shift significantly every time new U.S. data is added to the model.

The IHME model has been inaccurate even when projecting the next day, STAT News reported, with next-day deaths falling outside the projected range 70% of the time.

"That the IHME model keeps changing is evidence of its lack of reliability as a predictive tool," said epidemiologist Ruth Etzioni of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, according to STAT News. Etzioni has served on a search committee for IHME. "That it is being used for policy decisions and its results interpreted wrongly is a travesty unfolding before our eyes."

This whole thing is total fake bullcrap.

Open the country for business.

More than 1,800 inmates at Marion prison test positive for coronavirus [OHIO]
WCMH TV ^ | April 19, 2020 | WCHM Staff
Posted on 4/20/2020, 2:14:36 PM by buckalfa

MARION, Ohio (WCMH) — More than 1,800 inmates at Marion Correctional Institution have tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus.

As of Sunday, 1,828 Marion Correctional inmates have tested positive, along with 109 staff members. Of the 1,828 cases, 38 are currently receiving outside hospital level care, according to an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokesperson.

There are approximately 2,500 inmates in the Marion Correctional Institution.

One staff death was announced on April 8, corrections officer John Dawson. No inmates at Marion Correctional have died.

According to the ODRC, mass testing has been instituted at Marion Correctional, as well as Pickaway Correctional and the Franklin Medical Center.

“Because we are testing everyone – including those who are not showing symptoms – we are getting positive test results on individuals who otherwise would have never been tested because they were asymptomatic,” ODRC said in its daily release of information.

Individuals who test positive are placed in an area of the facility which is separate from the general population, ODRC’s statement said.

“Also, our comprehensive testing approach of staff and inmates has assisted us in identifying asymptomatic individuals who have tested positive who can now be isolated from others in order to prevent further spread,” the statement said.

Throughout Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction facilities, 2,400 inmates have tested positive and 637 have tested negative.

According to Marion Public Health, as of Saturday, there are 80 community spread cases in the county, leading to one death. Including the prison testing, the county now has the most reported coronavirus cases in the state.

What keeps this going is the inherent contradiction that prevention of the virus causes extension of the virus. There is no way to prevent this until we find a vaccine, so we can only wait until we have herd immunity. But being this strict about isolation means the longer it will take for us to get herd immunity. This is all about hospital capacity and the media is causing the hospital overflow by telling anyone with any symptoms of a cold to go straight to the hospital to see if they have Corona Virus. The media and "experts" should tell people the truth, that if you are young and healthy without any previous medical conditions, it is ok to just isolate yourself and ride the cold out unless you get life threatening symptoms. And with proper access to testing, people could just check if they have it anywhere and go home to ride it out. Instead they are instructed to go to the hospital, where they are giving their virus to others including hospital workers as well as using up vital resources when all they needed was Nyquil.

Don't have numbers, but last time I checked which was a few weeks ago the percentage of pakis dying was roughly at the same ratio as their numbers as a percentage of the population. Whites deaths were about half, blacks double. Mixed race deaths were really low.

Edit*

Just checked latest stats. Most deaths by race are representative of the population. Only black Caribbeans were the outlier with nearly treble the expected deaths.

Best way to describe it from a my position of observation around studies and data i have read, Mortality rate when data is confirmed  same as the flu, but the numbers need to be looked at separate to the flu, so if 650,000 die annually from the flu and they are mainly the old and vulnerable, potentially another similar number 650,000 could be expected from corona again from the same identified group , both deaths are usually from pneumonia or underlying health issues that the virus exacerbates , the common flu pneumonia being bacterial and corona viral pneumonia which looks to be a hell of a lot more labour intensive from health perspective, pushing up the need for more medical attention.

US records lowest coronavirus-related deaths in 2 weeks.

https://www.foxnews.com/health/us-records-lowest-coronavirus-related-deaths-in-2-weeks (https://www.foxnews.com/health/us-records-lowest-coronavirus-related-deaths-in-2-weeks)

Quote
Monday marked the lowest number of coronavirus-related fatalities in the U.S. in two weeks, just days after the number of deaths had spiked to 4,591 in a single day. According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. lost 1,433 people to coronavirus on April 20, adding to the overall death toll of 42,364.

According to the data, nearly 93 percent of all U.S. deaths from the pandemic have occurred in the past three weeks, 44 percent of which have occurred over the last seven days. But after several sharp spikes last week, the number seems to be slowing, with the data reflecting an average of 600 less deaths than previous days.

The news comes as several states begin cautiously plotting out plans to slowly reopen businesses as early as the end of this week. Georgia, which as of Tuesday had 19,398 cases and at least 774 deaths, will reopen gyms, hair salons and other businesses beginning on Friday.

Gov. Brian Kemp, who earlier this month ordered Georgia's schools to remain closed for the rest of the 2019-20 school year, said Monday that his state would expand COVID-19 testing and that hospitals were in a position to resume elective surgeries after securing necessary protective personal equipment.

"Given the favorable data, enhanced testing, and approval of our healthcare professionals, we will allow gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools and massage therapists to reopen their doors this Friday," Kemp said.

Winter only really increase transmission via increased survival time on surfaces..... There is almost no virus here in Aus, some community transmission in Sydney...

The testing is so widespread the paranoia so high, it's already over tbh. Has been for a while.

Agreed.  On the surface, we are acting to save the vulnerable, which we are naturally driven to do.  But going deeper, we find we are working against them as much we are working against ourselves.

It doesn't add up.

It doesn’t add up because it was never about the virus to begin with. I keep hearing Trump talk about a war with an invisible enemy. It really is an invisible war the visible enemy: China.

At this point, it doesn’t really matter. The deed has been done. Demand has been choked off and the currency has been devalued. The proper course of action for you and your families is to try to suck every nickel you can out of this without putting yourself at legal risk.

As of yesterday (Tuesday), five community-based test sites opened, which will perform 3,600 tests this week. Five more sites will be added next week in hard hit areas. These sites will complete up to 7,000+ tests per week.
- Gotham Health Center, East New York (Brooklyn)

There's always a logical explanation if you look or think hard enough. Try this. COVID-19 has an incubation period of 7 to 10 days. Three weeks ago a staff member was exposed to and caught COVID-19. They were lucky to be symptom free although still contagious for about 2 weeks. Somewhere during that window, they infected one or more of the patients. After two weeks the staff member would test negative for the virus. The virus continues to spread unchecked among patients who perhaps get it from contaminated surfaces rather than directly from a staff member. Staff members remain virus free because by this time they are all wearing protective gear and taking every other precaution available. The nursing home will not take responsibility for fear of repercussions, so they maintain they keep all surfaces sanitized and virus free.

Basically it’s an economic war with the US, Japan and Europe against China. The investment side of China’s economy is a disaster as a result of failed central planning for the last 10 years. Their banking sector is 4 times the size of GDP and is loaded with bad loans. As a result, the currency is way overvalued.

The shutdown and devaluation is going to kill the other half of China’s economy, the export sector. The economic pain is the “sacrifice” we have to make for this war. Interesting, how this crisis occurred almost immediately after trade talks between the US and China broke down.

The other option would’ve been to allow the dollar, Euro and Yen to appreciate dramatically against the Yuan. The problem with that is that it would increase the real value of debt for countries that already have high Debt loads and also make exports not competitive with China. It’s really a race to the bottom.

As an aside, I have to laugh at the tools who are calling people conspiracy theorists  because they have the nerve to question why  death rates from this virus are higher in black and Hispanic areas of new York city than they are in the area of China where the virus actually started.

SPECIAL REPORT-HHS chief Azar had aide, former dog breeder, steer pandemic task force



WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - On January 21, the day the first U.S. case of coronavirus was reported, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared on Fox News to report the latest on the disease as it ravaged China. Alex Azar, a 52-year-old lawyer and former drug industry executive, assured Americans the U.S. government was prepared.


“We developed a diagnostic test at the CDC, so we can confirm if somebody has this,” Azar said. “We will be spreading that diagnostic around the country so that we are able to do rapid testing on site.”

While coronavirus in Wuhan, China, was “potentially serious,” Azar assured viewers in America, it “was one for which we have a playbook.”

Azar’s initial comments misfired on two fronts. Like many U.S. officials, from President Donald Trump on down, he underestimated the pandemic’s severity. He also overestimated his agency’s preparedness.

As is now widely known, two agencies Azar oversaw as HHS secretary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, wouldn’t come up with viable tests for five and half weeks, even as other countries and the World Health Organization had already prepared their own.

Shortly after his televised comments, Azar tapped a trusted aide with minimal public health experience to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19. The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”

Azar’s optimistic public pronouncement and choice of an inexperienced manager are emblematic of his agency’s oft-troubled response to the crisis. His HHS is a behemoth department, overseeing almost every federal public health agency in the country, with a $1.3 trillion budget that exceeds the gross national product of most countries.

Azar and his top deputies oversaw health agencies that were slow to alert the public to the magnitude of the crisis, to produce a test to tell patients if they were sick, and to provide protective masks to hospitals even as physicians pleaded for them.

The first test created by the CDC, meant to be used by other labs, was plagued by a glitch that rendered it useless and wasn’t fixed for weeks. It wasn’t until March that tests by other labs went into production. The lack of tests “limited hospitals’ ability to monitor the health of patients and staff,” the HHS Inspector General said in a report this month. The equipment shortage “put staff and patients at risk.”

A promised virus surveillance program failed to take root, despite assurances Azar gave to Congress. Rather than share information, three current and three former government officials told Reuters, Azar and top staff sidelined key agencies that could have played a higher-profile role in addressing the pandemic. “It was a mess,” said a White House official who worked with HHS.

Officials across the government, from President Trump on down, have been blasted for America’s halting response to the pandemic. Critics inside and outside the administration say a meaningful share of the responsibility lies with HHS and Trump appointee Azar.

“You have to blame the problem on the virus, but it’s Azar's operation,” said Lynn Goldman, the dean of the public health school at George Washington University, who has served on advisory boards of the FDA and CDC. “And the buck stops there.”

HHS declined to make Azar available for an interview. Michael Caputo, the new chief HHS spokesman, declined to answer Reuters questions about Azar’s stewardship, saying in a statement: "We are communicating to the American public during a deadly pandemic.”

DALLAS LABRADOODLES

Azar is a Republican lawyer who once clerked for the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and counts current Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a friend. Under George W. Bush, Azar worked for HHS as general counsel and deputy secretary. During the Obama years, he cycled through the private sector as a pharmaceutical company lobbyist and executive for Eli Lilly. After Trump’s first HHS secretary was forced out in a travel corruption scandal, Azar stepped in, in January 2018.

Two years later, at the dawn of the coronavirus crisis, Azar appointed his most trusted aide and chief of staff, Harrison, as HHS’s main coordinator for the government’s response to the virus.

Harrison, 37, was an unusual choice, with no formal education in public health, management, or medicine and with only limited experience in the fields. In 2006, he joined HHS in a one-year stint as a “Confidential Assistant” to Azar, who was then deputy secretary. He also had posts working for Vice President Dick Cheney, the Department of Defense and a Washington public relations company.

Before joining the Trump Administration in January 2018, Harrison’s official HHS biography says, he “ran a small business in Texas.” The biography does not disclose the name or nature of that business, but his personal financial disclosure forms show that from 2012 until 2018 he ran a company called Dallas Labradoodles.

The company sells Australian Labradoodles, a breed that is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. He sold it in April 2018, his financial disclosure form said. HHS emailed Reuters that the sales price was $225,000.

At HHS, Harrison was initially deputy chief of staff before being promoted, in the summer of 2019, to replace Azar’s first chief of staff, Peter Urbanowicz, an experienced hospital executive with decades of experience in public health.

This January, Harrison became a key manager of the HHS virus response. “Everyone had to report up through him,” said one HHS official.

One questionable decision, three sources say, came that month, after the White House announced it was convening a coronavirus task force. The HHS role was to muster resources from key public health agencies: the CDC, FDA, National Institutes of Health, Office of Global Affairs and the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.

Harrison decided, the sources say, to exclude FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn from the task force. “He said he didn’t need to be included,” said one official with knowledge of the matter.

When task force members were announced January 29, neither Hahn nor the FDA were included. Hahn wasn’t put on the task force until Vice President Mike Pence took over in February. Two of Hahn’s high-profile counterparts were on it from the start: CDC director Robert Redfield and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The HHS denied it was Harrison’s decision to leave out Hahn and the FDA, but declined to say who made the call. The agency lauded Harrison’s work on the task force.

In a statement, Hahn said the FDA was focused on the coronavirus epidemic, “not on when we were added to the task force,” and that the agency was not “excluded.”

Fauci, who has become a public face of the Trump Administration’s COVID-19 effort, said he wasn’t sure including the FDA was necessary at the start. Initially, the Chinese government was saying the virus spread through animals, not human to human, he said. “You would include the FDA when you want to expedite drugs or devices,” Fauci said.

Others said the lack of a strong FDA role early on had direct consequences. Two sources familiar with events say the White House wasn’t getting information from the FDA about the state of the testing effort, a crucial element of the coronavirus response.

Reached by phone, Harrison declined to answer Reuters’ questions. In a later statement, he did not address questions about the task force but said he was proud of his work history. “Americans would be well served by having more government officials who have started and worked in small family businesses and fewer trying to use that experience to attack them and distort the record,” he wrote.

In a statement to Reuters, Azar said Harrison has been an asset. “From day one, Brian has demonstrated remarkable leadership and managerial talents,” Azar wrote.

LOW RISK?

In the pandemic’s early days, Azar offered words of both concern and assurance in public. On January 31, a day after the WHO declared COVID-19 a global health emergency, Azar declared it a public health emergency.

That same day, during the first Coronavirus Task Force briefing, Azar told the public: “I want to stress: The risk of infection for Americans remains low.”

The United States, he said, had taken adequate precautions. Travel restrictions and 14 day quarantines on Americans who had been to Wuhan, where the virus originated, were imposed. Americans returning from other parts of China had to self-quarantine.


The next week, on February 7, in another press conference, Azar repeated the message. “The immediate risk to the American public is low at this time,” he announced.

Behind the scenes, his aides say, Azar had alerted the White House in early January, and then later that month spoke directly to the president. It is unclear exactly what Azar told the president, because transcripts are not available.

“There’s a lot of CYA going on,” said one senior administration official, who said Azar never spelled out that stockpiles of protective equipment might be inadequate or the tests were not working. “We were told the test was ready. That turned out to be flat-out wrong.”

Trump denied Azar sent out alarms. “@SecAzar told me nothing until later,” he tweeted earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Azar continued to say “the immediate risk” to Americans was low and that travel restrictions had worked. “So I think so far, our measures have been quite effective,” he told NPR on February 14.

Others were raising alarms. “It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said at a February 25 news briefing.

MORE GLITCHES

Responding to Congressional concerns, Azar said HHS had launched a coronavirus surveillance system in five cities. The plan was to test patients who showed up with flu symptoms, to see if they actually were infected with the novel coronavirus.

But the system was either delayed or not implemented in the cities and now is seen by epidemiologists as irrelevant given the massive community spread and continued inadequate testing.

By the end of February, Azar sought more money to attack the crisis as he testified before Congress. “This is an unprecedented potentially severe health challenge globally, and will require additional measures,” he said.

Still, he assured senators his agency was in control. “We have enacted the most aggressive containment measures in the history of our country,” he said.

He again provided words of calm, appearing on Fox News. “But thanks to President Trump's historically aggressive containment efforts, we've actually contained the spread of this virus here in the United States at this point,” he said February 25. “I think part of the message to the American people is we all need to take a bit of deep breath here.”

“The government is working on this. You've got the right people on this.”

By the end of February, Azar and Harrison were no longer running the White House task force. That month, Vice President Pence took control. The FDA and Hahn are now actively involved. A Pence spokesperson said the issue of precluding the FDA from the task force “pre-dates the VP’s leadership” and declined further comment.

Azar seemed caught off guard by the change. “I’m still chairman of the task force,” he told the press after Pence took over.

Given Azar’s early struggles, the White House should have taken a stronger role over the task force from the outset, said Ashish Jha, director of Harvard University’s Global Health Institute. “It was very clear that Azar wasn’t able to marshal the forces across the government like he needed to,” he said.

Jeffrey Flier, a former Harvard Medical School dean, said the HHS role remains as vital as ever. As of Wednesday, 45,336 Americans have died of COVID-19, and more than 800,000 have been infected.

“Clearly there was a need for better coordination of the FDA and CDC and other agencies,” he said. “HHS has to be operating effectively in a crisis like this.” (Reporting by Aram Roston and Marisa Taylor in Washington. Editing by Ronnie Greene)

As is now widely known, two agencies Azar oversaw as HHS secretary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, wouldn’t come up with viable tests for five and half weeks, even as other countries and the World Health Organization had already prepared their own.

Shortly after his televised comments, Azar tapped a trusted aide with minimal public health experience to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19. The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”

Azar’s optimistic public pronouncement and choice of an inexperienced manager are emblematic of his agency’s oft-troubled response to the crisis. His HHS is a behemoth department, overseeing almost every federal public health agency in the country, with a $1.3 trillion budget that exceeds the gross national product of most countries.

Azar and his top deputies oversaw health agencies that were slow to alert the public to the magnitude of the crisis, to produce a test to tell patients if they were sick, and to provide protective masks to hospitals even as physicians pleaded for them.

The first test created by the CDC, meant to be used by other labs, was plagued by a glitch that rendered it useless and wasn’t fixed for weeks. It wasn’t until March that tests by other labs went into production. The lack of tests “limited hospitals’ ability to monitor the health of patients and staff,” the HHS Inspector General said in a report this month. The equipment shortage “put staff and patients at risk.”

A promised virus surveillance program failed to take root, despite assurances Azar gave to Congress. Rather than share information, three current and three former government officials told Reuters, Azar and top staff sidelined key agencies that could have played a higher-profile role in addressing the pandemic. “It was a mess,” said a White House official who worked with HHS.

Officials across the government, from President Trump on down, have been blasted for America’s halting response to the pandemic. Critics inside and outside the administration say a meaningful share of the responsibility lies with HHS and Trump appointee Azar.

“You have to blame the problem on the virus, but it’s Azar's operation,” said Lynn Goldman, the dean of the public health school at George Washington University, who has served on advisory boards of the FDA and CDC. “And the buck stops there.”

HHS declined to make Azar available for an interview. Michael Caputo, the new chief HHS spokesman, declined to answer Reuters questions about Azar’s stewardship, saying in a statement: "We are communicating to the American public during a deadly pandemic.”

DALLAS LABRADOODLES

Azar is a Republican lawyer who once clerked for the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and counts current Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a friend. Under George W. Bush, Azar worked for HHS as general counsel and deputy secretary. During the Obama years, he cycled through the private sector as a pharmaceutical company lobbyist and executive for Eli Lilly. After Trump’s first HHS secretary was forced out in a travel corruption scandal, Azar stepped in, in January 2018.

Two years later, at the dawn of the coronavirus crisis, Azar appointed his most trusted aide and chief of staff, Harrison, as HHS’s main coordinator for the government’s response to the virus.

Harrison, 37, was an unusual choice, with no formal education in public health, management, or medicine and with only limited experience in the fields. In 2006, he joined HHS in a one-year stint as a “Confidential Assistant” to Azar, who was then deputy secretary. He also had posts working for Vice President Dick Cheney, the Department of Defense and a Washington public relations company.

Before joining the Trump Administration in January 2018, Harrison’s official HHS biography says, he “ran a small business in Texas.” The biography does not disclose the name or nature of that business, but his personal financial disclosure forms show that from 2012 until 2018 he ran a company called Dallas Labradoodles.

The company sells Australian Labradoodles, a breed that is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. He sold it in April 2018, his financial disclosure form said. HHS emailed Reuters that the sales price was $225,000.

At HHS, Harrison was initially deputy chief of staff before being promoted, in the summer of 2019, to replace Azar’s first chief of staff, Peter Urbanowicz, an experienced hospital executive with decades of experience in public health.

This January, Harrison became a key manager of the HHS virus response. “Everyone had to report up through him,” said one HHS official.

One questionable decision, three sources say, came that month, after the White House announced it was convening a coronavirus task force. The HHS role was to muster resources from key public health agencies: the CDC, FDA, National Institutes of Health, Office of Global Affairs and the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.

Harrison decided, the sources say, to exclude FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn from the task force. “He said he didn’t need to be included,” said one official with knowledge of the matter.

When task force members were announced January 29, neither Hahn nor the FDA were included. Hahn wasn’t put on the task force until Vice President Mike Pence took over in February. Two of Hahn’s high-profile counterparts were on it from the start: CDC director Robert Redfield and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The HHS denied it was Harrison’s decision to leave out Hahn and the FDA, but declined to say who made the call. The agency lauded Harrison’s work on the task force.

In a statement, Hahn said the FDA was focused on the coronavirus epidemic, “not on when we were added to the task force,” and that the agency was not “excluded.”

Fauci, who has become a public face of the Trump Administration’s COVID-19 effort, said he wasn’t sure including the FDA was necessary at the start. Initially, the Chinese government was saying the virus spread through animals, not human to human, he said. “You would include the FDA when you want to expedite drugs or devices,” Fauci said.

Others said the lack of a strong FDA role early on had direct consequences. Two sources familiar with events say the White House wasn’t getting information from the FDA about the state of the testing effort, a crucial element of the coronavirus response.

Reached by phone, Harrison declined to answer Reuters’ questions. In a later statement, he did not address questions about the task force but said he was proud of his work history. “Americans would be well served by having more government officials who have started and worked in small family businesses and fewer trying to use that experience to attack them and distort the record,” he wrote.

In a statement to Reuters, Azar said Harrison has been an asset. “From day one, Brian has demonstrated remarkable leadership and managerial talents,” Azar wrote.

LOW RISK?

In the pandemic’s early days, Azar offered words of both concern and assurance in public. On January 31, a day after the WHO declared COVID-19 a global health emergency, Azar declared it a public health emergency.

That same day, during the first Coronavirus Task Force briefing, Azar told the public: “I want to stress: The risk of infection for Americans remains low.”

The United States, he said, had taken adequate precautions. Travel restrictions and 14 day quarantines on Americans who had been to Wuhan, where the virus originated, were imposed. Americans returning from other parts of China had to self-quarantine.


The next week, on February 7, in another press conference, Azar repeated the message. “The immediate risk to the American public is low at this time,” he announced.

Behind the scenes, his aides say, Azar had alerted the White House in early January, and then later that month spoke directly to the president. It is unclear exactly what Azar told the president, because transcripts are not available.

“There’s a lot of CYA going on,” said one senior administration official, who said Azar never spelled out that stockpiles of protective equipment might be inadequate or the tests were not working. “We were told the test was ready. That turned out to be flat-out wrong.”

Trump denied Azar sent out alarms. “@SecAzar told me nothing until later,” he tweeted earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Azar continued to say “the immediate risk” to Americans was low and that travel restrictions had worked. “So I think so far, our measures have been quite effective,” he told NPR on February 14.

Others were raising alarms. “It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said at a February 25 news briefing.

MORE GLITCHES

Responding to Congressional concerns, Azar said HHS had launched a coronavirus surveillance system in five cities. The plan was to test patients who showed up with flu symptoms, to see if they actually were infected with the novel coronavirus.

But the system was either delayed or not implemented in the cities and now is seen by epidemiologists as irrelevant given the massive community spread and continued inadequate testing.

By the end of February, Azar sought more money to attack the crisis as he testified before Congress. “This is an unprecedented potentially severe health challenge globally, and will require additional measures,” he said.

Still, he assured senators his agency was in control. “We have enacted the most aggressive containment measures in the history of our country,” he said.

He again provided words of calm, appearing on Fox News. “But thanks to President Trump's historically aggressive containment efforts, we've actually contained the spread of this virus here in the United States at this point,” he said February 25. “I think part of the message to the American people is we all need to take a bit of deep breath here.”

“The government is working on this. You've got the right people on this.”

By the end of February, Azar and Harrison were no longer running the White House task force. That month, Vice President Pence took control. The FDA and Hahn are now actively involved. A Pence spokesperson said the issue of precluding the FDA from the task force “pre-dates the VP’s leadership” and declined further comment.

Azar seemed caught off guard by the change. “I’m still chairman of the task force,” he told the press after Pence took over.

Given Azar’s early struggles, the White House should have taken a stronger role over the task force from the outset, said Ashish Jha, director of Harvard University’s Global Health Institute. “It was very clear that Azar wasn’t able to marshal the forces across the government like he needed to,” he said.

Jeffrey Flier, a former Harvard Medical School dean, said the HHS role remains as vital as ever. As of Wednesday, 45,336 Americans have died of COVID-19, and more than 800,000 have been infected.

“Clearly there was a need for better coordination of the FDA and CDC and other agencies,” he said. “HHS has to be operating effectively in a crisis like this.” (Reporting by Aram Roston and Marisa Taylor in Washington. Editing by Ronnie Greene)

SPECIAL REPORT-HHS chief Azar had aide, former dog breeder, steer pandemic task force



WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - On January 21, the day the first U.S. case of coronavirus was reported, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared on Fox News to report the latest on the disease as it ravaged China. Alex Azar, a 52-year-old lawyer and former drug industry executive, assured Americans the U.S. government was prepared.


“We developed a diagnostic test at the CDC, so we can confirm if somebody has this,” Azar said. “We will be spreading that diagnostic around the country so that we are able to do rapid testing on site.”

While coronavirus in Wuhan, China, was “potentially serious,” Azar assured viewers in America, it “was one for which we have a playbook.”

Azar’s initial comments misfired on two fronts. Like many U.S. officials, from President Donald Trump on down, he underestimated the pandemic’s severity. He also overestimated his agency’s preparedness.

As is now widely known, two agencies Azar oversaw as HHS secretary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, wouldn’t come up with viable tests for five and half weeks, even as other countries and the World Health Organization had already prepared their own.

The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”

Basically it’s an economic war with the US, Japan and Europe against China. The investment side of China’s economy is a disaster as a result of failed central planning for the last 10 years. Their banking sector is 4 times the size of GDP and is loaded with bad loans. As a result, the currency is way overvalued.

The shutdown and devaluation is going to kill the other half of China’s economy, the export sector. The economic pain is the “sacrifice” we have to make for this war. Interesting, how this crisis occurred almost immediately after trade talks between the US and China broke down.

The other option would’ve been to allow the dollar, Euro and Yen to appreciate dramatically against the Yuan. The problem with that is that it would increase the real value of debt for countries that already have high Debt loads and also make exports not competitive with China. It’s really a race to the bottom.

As an aside, I have to laugh at the tools who are calling people conspiracy theorists  because they have the nerve to question why  death rates from this virus are higher in black and Hispanic areas of new York city than they are in the area of China where the virus actually started.




Hong Kong has basically said that China has lied about their numbers.

Home Alone at the White House: A Sour President, With TV His Constant Companion


How the crisis will shape tomorrow's workplaces
Trump says social distancing guidelines may be extended into summer
WASHINGTON — President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon, when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television.

Confined to the White House, the president is isolated from the supporters, visitors, travel and golf that once entertained him, according to more than a dozen administration officials and close advisers who spoke about Mr. Trump’s strange new life. He is tested weekly, as is Vice President Mike Pence, for Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The economy — Mr. Trump’s main case for re-election — has imploded. News coverage of his handling of the coronavirus has been overwhelmingly negative as Democrats have condemned him for a lack of empathy, honesty and competence in the face of a pandemic. Even Republicans have criticized Mr. Trump’s briefings as long-winded and his rough handling of critics as unproductive.

His own internal polling shows him sliding in some swing states, a major reason he declared a temporary halt to the issuance of green cards to those outside the United States. The executive order — watered down with loopholes after an uproar from business groups — was aimed at pleasing his political base, people close to him said, and was the kind of move Mr. Trump makes when things feel out of control. Friends who have spoken to him said he seemed unsettled and worried about losing the election.

But the president’s primary focus, advisers said, is assessing how his performance on the virus is measured in the news media, and the extent to which history will blame him.

“He’s frustrated,” said Stephen Moore, an outside economic adviser to Mr. Trump who was the president’s pick to run the Federal Reserve before his history of sexist comments and lack of child support payments surfaced. “It’s like being hit with a meteor.”

Mr. Trump frequently vents about how he is portrayed. He was enraged by an article this month in which his health secretary, Alex M. Azar II, was said to have warned Mr. Trump in January about the possibility of a pandemic. Mr. Trump was upset that he was being blamed while Mr. Azar was portrayed in a more favorable light, aides said. The president told friends that he assumed Mr. Azar was working the news media to try to save his own reputation at the expense of Mr. Trump’s.

Aides said the president’s low point was in mid-March, when Mr. Trump, who had dismissed the virus as “one person coming in from China” and no worse than the flu, saw deaths and infections from Covid-19 rising daily. Mike Lindell, a Trump donor campaign surrogate and the chief executive of MyPillow, visited the White House later that month and said the president seemed so glum that Mr. Lindell pulled out his phone to show him a text message from a Democratic-voting friend of his who thought Mr. Trump was doing a good job.

Mr. Lindell said Mr. Trump perked up after hearing the praise. “I just wanted to give him a little confidence,” Mr. Lindell said.

The Daily Briefings

The daily White House coronavirus task force briefing is the one portion of the day that Mr. Trump looks forward to, although even Republicans say that the two hours of political attacks, grievances and falsehoods by the president are hurting him politically.

Mr. Trump will hear none of it. Aides say he views them as prime-time shows that are the best substitute for the rallies he can longer attend but craves.

Mr. Trump rarely attends the task force meetings that precede the briefings, and he typically does not prepare before he steps in front of the cameras. He is often seeing the final version of the day’s main talking points that aides have prepared for him for the first time although aides said he makes tweaks with a Sharpie just before he reads them live. He hastily plows through them, usually in a monotone, in order to get to the question-and-answer bullying session with reporters that he relishes.

The briefing’s critics, including Mr. Cuomo, have pointed out the obvious: With two hours of the president’s day dedicated to hosting what is still referred to as a prime-time news briefing, who is going to actually fix the pandemic?

Even Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the experts appointed to advise the president on the best way to handle the outbreak, has complained that the amount of time he must spend onstage in the briefings each day has a “draining” effect on him.

They have the opposite effect on the president. How he arrived at them was almost an accident.

Mr. Trump became enraged watching the coverage of his 10-minute Oval Office address in March that was rife with inaccuracies and had little in terms of action for him to announce. He complained to aides that there were few people on television willing to defend him.

The solution, aides said, came two days later, when Mr. Trump appeared in the Rose Garden to declare a national emergency and answer questions from reporters. As he admonished journalists for asking “nasty” questions, Mr. Trump found the back-and-forth he had been missing. The virus had not been a perfect enemy — it was impervious to his browbeating — but baiting and attacking reporters energized him.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Mr. Trump told White House correspondents in answer to one question.

His first news conference in the briefing room took place the next day, on a Saturday, after Mr. Trump arrived unannounced in the Situation Room, wearing a polo shirt and baseball cap, and told the group he planned to attend the briefing and watch from a chair on the side. When aides told him that reporters would simply yell questions at him, even if he was not on the small stage, he agreed to take the podium. He has not looked back since.

When Mr. Trump finishes up 90 or more minutes later, he heads back to the Oval Office to watch the end of the briefings on TV and compare notes with whoever is around from his inner circle.

The New Pecking Order

That circle has shrunk significantly as the president, who advisers say is more sensitive to criticism than at nearly any other point in his presidency, has come to rely on only a handful of longtime aides.

Hope Hicks, a former communications director who rejoined the White House this year as counselor to the president, maintains his daily schedule. His former personal assistant, Johnny McEntee, now runs presidential personnel.

Ms. Hicks and Mr. McEntee, along with Dan Scavino, the president’s social media guru who was promoted this week to deputy chief of staff for communications, provide Mr. Trump with a link to the better old days. The three are the ones outside advisers get in touch with to find out if it’s a good time to reach the president or pass on a message.

Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s new chief of staff, is still finding his footing and adjusting to the nocturnal habits of Mr. Trump, who recently placed a call to Mr. Meadows, a senior administration official said, at 3:19 a.m. Mr. Meadows works closely with another trusted insider: Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and de facto chief of staff.

“They have been really confined and figuratively imprisoned,” Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University, said about presidents who have kept close to the White House in times of crisis.

While many officials have been encouraged to work remotely and the Old Executive Office Building is empty, the West Wing’s tight quarters are still packed. Mr. Pence and his top aides, usually stationed across the street, are working exclusively from the White House, along with most of the senior aides, who dine from the takeout mess while the in-house dining room remains closed. Few aides wear masks except for Matthew Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser, and some of his staff.

The Day Ends as It Began

As soon as he gets to the Oval Office, the president often receives his daily intelligence briefing, and Mr. Pence sometimes joins him. Then there are meetings with his national security team or economic advisers.

Throughout the day, Mr. Trump calls governors, will have lunch with cabinet secretaries and pores over newspapers, which he treats like official briefing books and reads primarily in paper clippings that aides bring to him. He calls aides about stories he sees, either to order them to get a world leader on the phone or to ask questions about something he has read.

Many friends said they were less likely to call Mr. Trump’s cellphone, assuming he does not want to hear their advice. Those who do reach him said phone calls have grown more clipped: Conversations that used to last 20 minutes now wrap up in three.

Mr. Trump will still take calls from Brad Parscale, his campaign manager, on the latest on polling data. The president will in turn call Mr. Meadows and Kellyanne Conway about key congressional races.

The president’s aides have slowly lined up more opportunities to keep him engaged. Last week, a small group of coronavirus survivors were led into the White House, and Mr. Trump took one of them to see the White House physician. Then Mr. Trump hosted a celebration of America’s truckers on the South Lawn.

After he is done watching the end of the daily White House briefing — which goes seven days a week, sometimes as late as 8 p.m. — Mr. Trump eats his usual comfort foods, including French fries, in his private dining room off the Oval Office. He asks staff members who may still be around for an assessment of how the briefing went.

Lately, aides say, his mood has started to brighten as his administration moves to open the economy. His new line, both in public and in private, is that there is reason to be optimistic.

“And at the end of that tunnel, we see light,” Mr. Trump said in the Rose Garden last week.

If he is not staying late in the West Wing, Mr. Trump occasionally has dinner with his wife, Melania Trump, and their son, Barron, who recently celebrated his 14th birthday at home.

By the end of the day, Mr. Trump turns back to his constant companion, television. Upstairs in the White House private quarters — often in his own bedroom or in a nearby den — he flicks from channel to channel, reviewing his performance.

Driver wearing N95 mask for ‘several hours’ passes out, crashes into pole, police say


A driver who police believe was wearing an N95 mask for “several hours” passed out Thursday while driving his car in Lincoln Park and crashed into a pole, according to a Facebook post from the borough police department.

The driver, who was not severely injured, was the only person in car and passed out due to “insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake,” police said.

“Motorists and the public alike are reminded that while masks should be used in public settings to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, they are not necessary outdoors when social distancing can be maintained, and especially not necessary when driving a vehicle with no additional occupants,” the department said in the post.

Authorities said they have not ruled out another medical reason as a contributing cause to the crash, but said they did not find any evidence that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

“As it relates to this specific incident, we reiterate that police officers are not physicians and do not know the medical history of every person we encounter,” police said in an updated post.

“It was stated in the original post that we ‘believed’ the excessive wearing of an N95 mask was a contributing factor to this accident. While we don’t know this with 100% certainty, we do know that the driver had been wearing an N95 mask inside the vehicle for several hours and ultimately passed out while operating the vehicle.”

Surprisingly, this didn't come from Marty Champions, but another "expert" on health, viruses and medical science, not to mention that this person also has an amazing grasp on the when and how to kick-start the economy.

I think that he had been listening to the medical experts discuss certain potential strategies that could be used in the future. But lacking their scientific background, he jumbled his wording as he attempted to repeat what he had heard them previously saying.

He didn’t need to say anything. The doctor already said everything that needed to be said.

That's why he should let the experts do the talking. They're just guessing at a lot of what they report anyway. It is likely they will miscalculate sometimes and  will take the heat for it. But the idiot in the room or on the lawn, insists on talking to the press, despite that he invariably says something so incredulous that it is laughable and at times also dangerous, especially for those folks who believe everything he says is the absolute truth and often also hold that the scientists are lying.

Trump was told by some expert that coronavirus dies in sunlight and high temps. Just like any other virus. He then ran with the idea without thinking about how what he was sayi g would sound. He did not say anything about bleach.

Home Alone at the White House: A Sour President, With TV His Constant Companion


How the crisis will shape tomorrow's workplaces
Trump says social distancing guidelines may be extended into summer
WASHINGTON — President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon, when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television.

He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing. He makes calls with the TV on in the background, his routine since he first arrived at the White House.

But now there are differences.

The president sees few allies no matter which channel he clicks. He is angry even with Fox, an old security

ork, closely monitoring for a sporadic compliment or snipe.

Confined to the White House, the president is isolated from the supporters, visitors, travel and golf that once entertained him, according to more than a dozen administration officials and close advisers who spoke about Mr. Trump’s strange new life. He is tested weekly, as is Vice President Mike Pence, for Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The economy — Mr. Trump’s main case for re-election — has imploded. News coverage of his handling of the coronavirus has been overwhelmingly negative as Democrats have condemned him for a lack of empathy, honesty and competence in the face of a pandemic. Even Republicans have criticized Mr. Trump’s briefings as long-winded and his rough handling of critics as unproductive.

His own internal polling shows him sliding in some swing states, a major reason he declared a temporary halt to the issuance of green cards to those outside the United States. The executive order — watered down with loopholes after an uproar from business groups — was aimed at pleasing his political base, people close to him said, and was the kind of move Mr. Trump makes when things feel out of control. Friends who have spoken to him said he seemed unsettled and worried about losing the election.

But the president’s primary focus, advisers said, is assessing how his performance on the virus is measured in the news media, and the extent to which history will blame him.

“He’s frustrated,” said Stephen Moore, an outside economic adviser to Mr. Trump who was the president’s pick to run the Federal Reserve before his history of sexist comments and lack of child support payments surfaced. “It’s like being hit with a meteor.”

Mr. Trump frequently vents about how he is portrayed. He was enraged by an article this month in which his health secretary, Alex M. Azar II, was said to have warned Mr. Trump in January about the possibility of a pandemic. Mr. Trump was upset that he was being blamed while Mr. Azar was portrayed in a more favorable light, aides said. The president told friends that he assumed Mr. Azar was working the news media to try to save his own reputation at the expense of Mr. Trump’s.

Aides said the president’s low point was in mid-March, when Mr. Trump, who had dismissed the virus as “one person coming in from China” and no worse than the flu, saw deaths and infections from Covid-19 rising daily. Mike Lindell, a Trump donor campaign surrogate and the chief executive of MyPillow, visited the White House later that month and said the president seemed so glum that Mr. Lindell pulled out his phone to show him a text message from a Democratic-voting friend of his who thought Mr. Trump was doing a good job.

Mr. Lindell said Mr. Trump perked up after hearing the praise. “I just wanted to give him a little confidence,” Mr. Lindell said.

The Daily Briefings

The daily White House coronavirus task force briefing is the one portion of the day that Mr. Trump looks forward to, although even Republicans say that the two hours of political attacks, grievances and falsehoods by the president are hurting him politically.

Mr. Trump will hear none of it. Aides say he views them as prime-time shows that are the best substitute for the rallies he can longer attend but craves.

Mr. Trump rarely attends the task force meetings that precede the briefings, and he typically does not prepare before he steps in front of the cameras. He is often seeing the final version of the day’s main talking points that aides have prepared for him for the first time although aides said he makes tweaks with a Sharpie just before he reads them live. He hastily plows through them, usually in a monotone, in order to get to the question-and-answer bullying session with reporters that he relishes.

The briefing’s critics, including Mr. Cuomo, have pointed out the obvious: With two hours of the president’s day dedicated to hosting what is still referred to as a prime-time news briefing, who is going to actually fix the pandemic?

Even Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the experts appointed to advise the president on the best way to handle the outbreak, has complained that the amount of time he must spend onstage in the briefings each day has a “draining” effect on him.

They have the opposite effect on the president. How he arrived at them was almost an accident.

Mr. Trump became enraged watching the coverage of his 10-minute Oval Office address in March that was rife with inaccuracies and had little in terms of action for him to announce. He complained to aides that there were few people on television willing to defend him.

The solution, aides said, came two days later, when Mr. Trump appeared in the Rose Garden to declare a national emergency and answer questions from reporters. As he admonished journalists for asking “nasty” questions, Mr. Trump found the back-and-forth he had been missing. The virus had not been a perfect enemy — it was impervious to his browbeating — but baiting and attacking reporters energized him.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Mr. Trump told White House correspondents in answer to one question.

His first news conference in the briefing room took place the next day, on a Saturday, after Mr. Trump arrived unannounced in the Situation Room, wearing a polo shirt and baseball cap, and told the group he planned to attend the briefing and watch from a chair on the side. When aides told him that reporters would simply yell questions at him, even if he was not on the small stage, he agreed to take the podium. He has not looked back since.

When Mr. Trump finishes up 90 or more minutes later, he heads back to the Oval Office to watch the end of the briefings on TV and compare notes with whoever is around from his inner circle.

The New Pecking Order

That circle has shrunk significantly as the president, who advisers say is more sensitive to criticism than at nearly any other point in his presidency, has come to rely on only a handful of longtime aides.

Hope Hicks, a former communications director who rejoined the White House this year as counselor to the president, maintains his daily schedule. His former personal assistant, Johnny McEntee, now runs presidential personnel.

Ms. Hicks and Mr. McEntee, along with Dan Scavino, the president’s social media guru who was promoted this week to deputy chief of staff for communications, provide Mr. Trump with a link to the better old days. The three are the ones outside advisers get in touch with to find out if it’s a good time to reach the president or pass on a message.

Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s new chief of staff, is still finding his footing and adjusting to the nocturnal habits of Mr. Trump, who recently placed a call to Mr. Meadows, a senior administration official said, at 3:19 a.m. Mr. Meadows works closely with another trusted insider: Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and de facto chief of staff.

“They have been really confined and figuratively imprisoned,” Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University, said about presidents who have kept close to the White House in times of crisis.

While many officials have been encouraged to work remotely and the Old Executive Office Building is empty, the West Wing’s tight quarters are still packed. Mr. Pence and his top aides, usually stationed across the street, are working exclusively from the White House, along with most of the senior aides, who dine from the takeout mess while the in-house dining room remains closed. Few aides wear masks except for Matthew Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser, and some of his staff.

The Day Ends as It Began

As soon as he gets to the Oval Office, the president often receives his daily intelligence briefing, and Mr. Pence sometimes joins him. Then there are meetings with his national security team or economic advisers.

Throughout the day, Mr. Trump calls governors, will have lunch with cabinet secretaries and pores over newspapers, which he treats like official briefing books and reads primarily in paper clippings that aides bring to him. He calls aides about stories he sees, either to order them to get a world leader on the phone or to ask questions about something he has read.

Many friends said they were less likely to call Mr. Trump’s cellphone, assuming he does not want to hear their advice. Those who do reach him said phone calls have grown more clipped: Conversations that used to last 20 minutes now wrap up in three.

Mr. Trump will still take calls from Brad Parscale, his campaign manager, on the latest on polling data. The president will in turn call Mr. Meadows and Kellyanne Conway about key congressional races.

The president’s aides have slowly lined up more opportunities to keep him engaged. Last week, a small group of coronavirus survivors were led into the White House, and Mr. Trump took one of them to see the White House physician. Then Mr. Trump hosted a celebration of America’s truckers on the South Lawn.

After he is done watching the end of the daily White House briefing — which goes seven days a week, sometimes as late as 8 p.m. — Mr. Trump eats his usual comfort foods, including French fries, in his private dining room off the Oval Office. He asks staff members who may still be around for an assessment of how the briefing went.

Lately, aides say, his mood has started to brighten as his administration moves to open the economy. His new line, both in public and in private, is that there is reason to be optimistic.

“And at the end of that tunnel, we see light,” Mr. Trump said in the Rose Garden last week.

If he is not staying late in the West Wing, Mr. Trump occasionally has dinner with his wife, Melania Trump, and their son, Barron, who recently celebrated his 14th birthday at home.

By the end of the day, Mr. Trump turns back to his constant companion, television. Upstairs in the White House private quarters — often in his own bedroom or in a nearby den — he flicks from channel to channel, reviewing his performance.

Trump was told by some expert that coronavirus dies in sunlight and high temps. Just like any other virus. He then ran with the idea without thinking about how what he was sayi g would sound. He did not say anything about bleach.

Maybe he did and maybe he didn't. Bleach is considered by many to be the ultimate disinfectant because it kills every virus and every germ and doesn't require the dwell time other disinfectants do to work. He did say something about injecting a disinfectant. That's probably just enough to encourage some idiots to run out and buy some household bleach and some syringes so they can self medicate. After all, one couple drank fish tank cleaner because it contained chloroquine phosphate which is also found in an antimalarial medication that Trump suggested could be used to fight COVID-19.

You're reading with your ass. I never said Trump suggested people drink fish tank cleaner. If you just a smattering of reading comprehension, you'd see that I made it very clear that there are people who do stupid things and the couple who did this are a good example of those people.

Perhaps you are right. But since he was and his wife is a senior they likely already added to the gene pool. Their stupidity (or desperation) has no affect on the gene pool.

I think that he had been listening to the medical experts discuss certain potential strategies that could be used in the future. But lacking their scientific background, he jumbled his wording as he attempted to repeat what he had heard them previously saying.

He didn’t need to say anything. The doctor already said everything that needed to be said.

It was taken out of context.

Maybe he did and maybe he didn't. Bleach is considered by many to be the ultimate disinfectant because it kills every virus and every germ and doesn't require the dwell time other disinfectants do to work. He did say something about injecting a disinfectant. That's probably just enough to encourage some idiots to run out and buy some household bleach and some syringes so they can self medicate. After all, one couple drank fish tank cleaner because it contained chloroquine phosphate which is also found in an antimalarial medication that Trump suggested could be used to fight COVID-19.


Regardless of who said it - If any retards just go act on using Hazardous Chemicals without verifying exact facts they deserve all they get. What’s it going to get to if every thing has to be spelt out in baby language so Stupid idiots don’t go harm themselves. If they’re that totally stupid they going to do themselves serious harm one way or another sooner or later.  It’s just nature acting to cull the thick ones out of the gene pool,
Like it or not Medical science / is going against nature by constantly keeping the sick / weak etc alive & allowing them to reproduce which just goes against nature completely.

I guess I wasn't clear enough.

Trump did say something stupid. But to me it sounded like he was inferring things and asking for confirmation from his advisers.

He did not explicitely say "you need to inject bleach" or something like that. He literally said "Is there a way we can do something like that?" before his comment about the desinfectant, and "it'd be interesting to check that" and "sounds interesting"afterwards. So that's what I think it's been taken out of context.

Money paper and coins are so laden with germs, there is no way you'd want to handle it right now. Plastic requires minimal touching and the scanner and stylist can be disinfected between users. This is what is happening at the grocery stores in my town. COVID-19 will probably change how commerce is conducted forever.

Yesterday, I wanted a Subway sandwich. The ordering, delivery and transaction involved a minimal of human contact. Ordered and paid for it online, picked it up at the store at the scheduled time. Signed the receipt with my own pen. When I got home I unwrapped it onto a plate and then washed my hands really well before eating it. The store clerks make the sandwich wearing disposable gloves. The opportunity for a transfer of germs was almost totally minimized.

What's really going on is that scientists/virologist/doctors are being pressured by the government leadership to provide answers that are as yet unknown. Couple that with people who have no idea what they are talking about with regards to this issue are giving the public completely asinine and false information which is often completely contrary to what little scientific knowledge is available, Trump is one great example of this stupidity. And since many people believe everything he says is the truth are eating it up.

Basically it’s an economic war with the US, Japan and Europe against China. The investment side of China’s economy is a disaster as a result of failed central planning for the last 10 years. Their banking sector is 4 times the size of GDP and is loaded with bad loans. As a result, the currency is way overvalued.

The shutdown and devaluation is going to kill the other half of China’s economy, the export sector. The economic pain is the “sacrifice” we have to make for this war. Interesting, how this crisis occurred almost immediately after trade talks between the US and China broke down.

The other option would’ve been to allow the dollar, Euro and Yen to appreciate dramatically against the Yuan. The problem with that is that it would increase the real value of debt for countries that already have high Debt loads and also make exports not competitive with China. It’s really a race to the bottom.

As an aside, I have to laugh at the tools who are calling people conspiracy theorists  because they have the nerve to question why  death rates from this virus are higher in black and Hispanic areas of new York city than they are in the area of China where the virus actually started.

I appreciate how you're taking a fairly optimistic view, when it comes down to it. 

As for the guys who receive media messages as some sort of guiding light of truth, while immediately attacking everything else as "conspiracy", I don"t know what to say.  Makes me wonder what'll become of us if that mindset wins out.

Best way to describe it from a my position of observation around studies and data i have read, Mortality rate when data is confirmed  same as the flu, but the numbers need to be looked at separate to the flu, so if 650,000 die annually from the flu and they are mainly the old and vulnerable, potentially another similar number 650,000 could be expected from corona again from the same identified group , both deaths are usually from pneumonia or underlying health issues that the virus exacerbates , the common flu pneumonia being bacterial and corona viral pneumonia which looks to be a hell of a lot more labour intensive from health perspective, pushing up the need for more medical attention.

Th global economic shutdown is an over reaction and needs to be called out as one. Just another crisis for the climate change end of world types to hijack.

People dying of conditions having nothing to do with COVID because they can’t get medical attention when they need it…

https://www.yahoo.com/news/amid-coronavirus-crisis-heart-stroke-153340811.html

And read the comments! So many medical professionals laid off, empty hospitals all over the country, doctors’ offices shut down everywhere…

My uncle can’t get in to see his doctor for his severe kidney pain because those offices are closed.

My elderly mom can’t get in to see her doctor either — and these are people who really need access to medical care.

Amazing how blind one has to be to believe that this is all done for public health.

Which by the way was from 1933 until the end of World War II in Europe on May 8, 1945 and not the dates you claimed. At that time i was not yet a year old.

Which would you say is the higher of these two figures? The salary Trump says he donates or the taxes he avoids paying?

Man dies when car he was allegedly trying to steal from falls on top of him
February 22, 2020 at 11:57 PM HST - Updated February 23 at 5:01 AM
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF/CNN) - Police are investigating after a Missouri man was crushed to death by a car while allegedly trying to steal a part from it.

The incident happened Friday morning in a Kansas City, Missouri, parking lot and involved a Toyota Prius. The owner of the Prius, who did not want to be identified, says he was at work when he learned his car had crushed a man.

A person in another vehicle tried to lift the Prius off the man using a jack, according to the car’s owner, but the victim died at the scene.

Authorities say the man was trying to steal the car’s catalytic converter, a device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants from a vehicle’s exhaust system.
James Garten, a service adviser at KC Complete Auto, says Pruis’ catalytic converters contain valuable metals like palladium, rhodium and platinum, and thieves can make a quick buck off them.

“When it comes to catalytic converters being stolen, it’s a common occurrence,” Garten said. “They take them to different scrapyards, and they will scrap them out. Nowadays, a lot of scrapyards will take catalytic converters, but you have to supply them with titles.”

out of 3300 who tested positive in the Jail - 96% showed no symptoms at all!   This lockdown crap is sheer madness.
________________________ _____________

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN2270RX?


In four U.S. state prisons, nearly 3,300 inmates test positive for coronavirus -- 96% without symptoms
Linda So and Grant Smith

 

(Reuters) - When the first cases of the new coronavirus surfaced in Ohio’s prisons, the director in charge felt like she was fighting a ghost.

“We weren’t always able to pinpoint where all the cases were coming from,” said Annette Chambers-Smith, director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. As the virus spread, they began mass testing.

They started with the Marion Correctional Institution, which houses 2,500 prisoners in north central Ohio, many of them older with pre-existing health conditions. After testing 2,300 inmates for the coronavirus, they were shocked. Of the 2,028 who tested positive, close to 95% had no symptoms.

“It was very surprising,” said Chambers-Smith, who oversees the state’s 28 correctional facilities.

As mass coronavirus testing expands in prisons, large numbers of inmates are showing no symptoms. In four state prison systems -- Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia -- 96% of 3,277 inmates who tested positive for the coronavirus were asymptomatic, according to interviews with officials and records reviewed by Reuters. That’s out of 4,693 tests that included results on symptoms.

The numbers are the latest evidence to suggest that people who are asymptomatic — contagious but not physically sick -- may be driving the spread of the virus, not only in state prisons that house 1.3 million inmates across the country, but also in communities across the globe. The figures also reinforce questions over whether testing of just people suspected of being infected is actually capturing the spread of the virus.

"It adds to the understanding that we have a severe undercount of cases in the U.S.,” said Dr. Leana Wen, adjunct associate professor of emergency medicine at George Washington University, said of the Reuters findings. “The case count is likely much, much higher than we currently know because of the lack of testing and surveillance."

Some people diagnosed as asymptomatic when tested for the coronavirus, however, may go on to develop symptoms later, according to researchers.

The United States has more people behind bars than any other nation, a total incarcerated population of nearly 2.3 million as of 2017 -- nearly half of which is in state prisons. Smaller numbers are locked in federal prisons and local jails, which typically hold people for relatively short periods as they await trial.

State prison systems in Michigan, Tennessee and California have also begun mass testing -- checking for coronavirus infections in large numbers of inmates even if they show no sign of illness -- but have not provided specific counts of asymptomatic prisoners.

Tennessee said a majority of its positive cases didn’t show symptoms. In Michigan, state authorities said "a good number" of the 620 prisoners who tested positive for the coronavirus were asymptomatic. California’s state prison system would not release counts of asymptomatic prisoners.

Each state manages multiple prison facilities. Ohio, for instance, has 49,000 prisoners in 28 facilities. A total 3,837 inmates tested positive for the coronavirus in 15 of those facilities. But the state has not yet provided results on symptoms for 1,809 of them and did not identify the total number of tests conducted across the prison system.

Arkansas and Tennessee have also taken a targeted approach by conducting mass testing in several of their facilities. Michigan, North Carolina, California and Virginia have started with one facility each.

Most state prisons did not provide the age or other demographic details of those who tested positive for the coronavirus, which has killed more than 200,000 people globally, including more than 53,000 in the United States.

Reuters surveyed all 50 state prison systems. Of the 30 that responded, most are only testing inmates who show symptoms, suggesting they could be vastly undercounting the number infected by the coronavirus.

Florida and Texas, whose inmate populations are bigger than Ohio’s, report a combined total of just 931 cases -- far fewer than the 3,837 inmates who tested positive in Ohio. New York, the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak, has reported 269 positive cases among 51,000 inmates. All three states are testing only symptomatic prisoners.

“Prison agencies are almost certainly vastly undercounting the number of COVID cases among incarcerated persons,” said Michele Deitch, a corrections specialist and senior lecturer at the University of Texas. “Just as the experts are telling us in our free-world communities, the only way to get ahead of this outbreak is through mass testing.”

Prison officials in Florida and Texas said they were following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with state health officials when testing only inmates showing symptoms of the virus. New York’s Department of Corrections said its policy of only testing prisoners who show symptoms was “reflective of testing procedures in the general public.”

Tennessee took an aggressive approach after a dozen inmates tested positive at the Bledsoe County Correctional Complex in the city of Pikeville last week. The state's Department of Correction has tested 3,503 prisoners at Bledsoe, the Northwest Correctional Complex and the Turney Center Industrial Complex.

“It’s what makes the pandemic more difficult to manage,” said Marc Stern, former medical director for the Washington State Department of Corrections and a faculty member at the University of Washington’s School of Public Health. “There are a whole lot of people who are asymptomatic.”

After a recent spike in cases at the Neuse Correctional Institution in Goldsboro, North Carolina, state correctional officials tested all 723 prisoners last week. Of the 444 who were infected by the virus, 98% were asymptomatic, the state’s department of public safety said. One inmate has died at the prison.

Similarly, mass testing at two Arkansas prisons -- the Cummins Unit in the city of Grady and the Community Correction Center in the state capital Little Rock -- found 751 infected inmates, almost all of them asymptomatic, the state corrections department said. It did not provide the total number of inmates who were tested.

Arkansas’ prisons have faced contagious disease outbreaks before, such as scabies and chickenpox, but those episodes were easier to manage because inmates showed overt symptoms, said Arkansas Department of Corrections spokeswoman Dina Tyler. “But with this virus, you have no idea because so many are asymptomatic. It makes it very challenging to contain,” she said.

‘24-HOUR TURNAROUND IS CRUCIAL’

Michigan’s Lakeland Correctional Facility houses some of the state’s oldest and most medically frail prisoners. When coronavirus cases surged, the prison saw a spike in infections and deaths. As of April 23, nine Lakeland inmates had died from COVID-19, accounting for a third of the deaths across Michigan’s 29 state prisons.

Nearly half of Lakeland’s 1,400 prisoners suffer from chronic underlying health conditions, according to state data. Many are in wheelchairs, and the minimum-security facility in southern Michigan has its own geriatric unit for its large elderly population.

On Tuesday, the prison tested all 400 inmates in the geriatric ward and plans to test the rest of the facility by the end of the week. Of the 971 tested so far, 642, or about 66%, were positive. A state official declined to disclose how many were asymptomatic.

“We know mass testing is going to make our numbers spike and might make us look bad,” said Chris Gautz, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections. “But I don’t think there’s another prison system in the country that doesn’t have large numbers. They just might not be testing as rigorously as we are.”

All tested inmates are quarantined in their rooms or units pending the test results, which usually come back in a day, he said. “The 24-hour turnaround is crucial” because once an inmate tests negative, they can return to the general population, he said.

In the seven state prison systems conducting mass tests, 49 inmates have died.

As the coronavirus spreads behind bars, rights groups and public defenders say they fear more will succumb, and have pressed for the release of nonviolent older and medically high-risk inmates. While thousands have been let out, crowded, often unsanitary conditions have raised concerns that jails and prisons could become vectors for the disease.

“They’re worse than landlocked cruise ships,” Stern, the corrections expert, said, referring to stranded cruise ships that have been overwhelmed by coronavirus infections.

Why No COVID-19 Models Have Been Accurate, And How To Fix That
The Federalist ^ | April 27, 2020 | Jon McCloskey



The decisions that are being made during this crisis are far too important and complex to be based on such imprecise data and with such unreliable results.

There’s been a lot of armchair analysis about various models being used to predict outcomes of COVID-19. For those of us who have built spatial and statistical models, all of this discussion brings to mind George Box’s dictum, “All models are wrong, but some are useful”—or useless, as the case may be.

The problem with data-driven models, especially when data is lacking, can be easily explained. First of all, in terms of helping decision makers make quality decisions, statistical hypothesis testing and data analysis is just one tool in a large tool box.

It’s based on what we generally call reductionist theory. In short, the tool examines parts of a system (usually by estimating an average or mean) and then makes inferences to the whole system. The tool is usually quite good at testing hypotheses under carefully controlled experimental conditions.

For example, the success of the pharmaceutical industry is, in part, due to the fact that they can design and implement controlled experiments in a laboratory. However, even under controlled experimental procedures, the tool has limitations and is subject to sampling error. In reality, the true mean (the true number or answer we are seeking) is unknowable because we cannot possibly measure everything or everybody, and model estimates always have a certain amount of error.

These Models Are Unreliable

Simple confidence intervals can provide good insight into the precision and reliability, or usefulness, of the part estimated by reductionist models. With the COVID-19 models, the so-called “news” appears to be using either the confidence interval from one model or actual estimated values (i.e., means) from different models as a way of reporting a range of the “predicted” number of people who may contract or die from the disease (e.g., 60,000 to 2 million).

Either way, the range in estimates is quite large and useless, at least for helping decision makers make such key decisions about our health, economy, and civil liberties. The armchair analysts’ descriptions about these estimates show how clueless they are of even the simplest of statistical interpretation.

The fact is, when a model has a confidence interval as wide as those reported, the primary conclusion is that the model is imprecise and unreliable. Likewise, if these wide ranges are coming from estimated means of several different models, it clearly indicates a lack of repeatability (i.e., again, a lack of precision and reliability).

Either way, these types of results are an indication of bias in the data, which can come from many sources (such as not enough data, measurement error, reporting error, using too many variables, etc.). For the COVID-19 models, most of the data appears to come from large population centers like New York. This means the data sample is biased, which makes the entire analysis invalid for making any inferences outside of New York or, at best, areas without similar population density.

It would be antithetical to the scientific method if such data were used to make decisions in, for example, Wyoming or rural Virginia. While these models can sometimes provide decision makers useful information, the decisions that are being made during this crisis are far too important and complex to be based on such imprecise data. There are volumes of scientific literature that explain the limitations of reductionist methods, if the reader wishes to investigate this further.

Despite Unreliability, Models Influence Huge Decisions

Considering the limitations of this tool under controlled laboratory conditions, imagine what happens within more complex systems that encompass large areas, contain millions of people, and vary with time (such as seasonal or annual changes). In fact, for predicting outcomes within complex and adaptive and dynamic systems, where controlled experiments are not possible, data is lacking, and large amounts of uncertainty exist, the reductionists’ tool is not useful.

Researchers who speak as if their answers to such complex and uncertain problems are unquestionable and who politicize issues like COVID-19 are by definition pseudo-scientists. In fact, the scientific literature (including research from a Nobel Prize winner) shows that individual “experts” are no better than laymen at making quality decisions within systems characterized by complexity and uncertainty.

The pseudo-scientists want to hide this fact. They like to simplify reality by ignoring or hiding the tremendous amount of uncertainty inherent in these models. They do this for many reasons: it’s easier to explain cause/effect relationships, it’s easier to “predict” consequences (that’s why most of their predictions are wrong or always changing), and it’s easier to identify “victims” and “villains.”

They accomplish this by first asking the wrong questions. For COVID-19, the relevant question is not, “How many people will die?” a divisive and impossible question to answer, but “What can we do to avoid, reduce, and mitigate this disease without destroying our economy and civil rights?”

If the Assumptions Are Wrong, Everything Else Is
Secondly, pseudo-scientists hide and ignore the assumptions inherent in these models. The assumptions are the premise of any model; if the assumptions are violated or invalid, the entire model is invalid. Transparency is crucial to a useful model and for building trust among the public. In short, whether a model is useful or useless has more to do with a person’s values than science.

The empirical evidence is clear: what’s really needed is good thinking by actual people, not technology, to identify and choose quality alternatives. Technology will not solve these issues and should only be used as aids and tools (and only if they are transparent and reliable as possible).

What is needed, and what the scientific method has always required but is nowadays often ignored, is what is called multiple working hypotheses. In laymen’s terms, this simply means that we include experts and stakeholders with different perspectives, ideas, and experiences.

Models Cannot Give Answers Alone

The type of modeling that is needed to make quality decisions for the COVID-19 crisis is what we modelers call participatory scenario modeling. This method uses Decision Science tools like Bayesian networks and Multiple Objective Decision Analysis that explicitly link data with the knowledge and opinions of a diverse mix of subject matter experts. The method uses a systems, not a reductionist, approach and seeks to help the decision maker weigh the available options and alternatives.

For COVID-19, we likely need a set of models for medical and economic decisions that augment final decision-support models that help the decision makers weigh their options.

The steps are: frame the question appropriately, develop quality alternatives, evaluate the alternatives, and plan accordingly (i.e., make the decision). The key is participation from a diverse set of subject-matter experts from interdisciplinary backgrounds working together to build scenario models that help decision makers assess the decision options in terms of probability of the possible outcomes.

Certain models, such as COVID-19, require a diverse set of experts, whereas climate change models require participation from stakeholders and experts. The participatory nature of the process makes assumptions more transparent, helps people better understand the issues, and builds trust among competing interests.

For COVID-19, we likely need a set of models for medical and economic decisions that augment final decision-support models that help the decision makers weigh their options. No experienced decision maker would (or should) rely on any one model or any one subject-matter expert when making complex decisions with so much uncertainty and so much at stake.

Pseudo-scientists only allow participation from subject-matter experts who agree with their agenda. In other words, they often rig the participatory models. I’m not saying this is occurring with COVID-19, but it has happened before and could happen again.

Man dies when car he was allegedly trying to steal from falls on top of him
February 22, 2020 at 11:57 PM HST - Updated February 23 at 5:01 AM
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF/CNN) - Police are investigating after a Missouri man was crushed to death by a car while allegedly trying to steal a part from it.

The incident happened Friday morning in a Kansas City, Missouri, parking lot and involved a Toyota Prius. The owner of the Prius, who did not want to be identified, says he was at work when he learned his car had crushed a man.

A person in another vehicle tried to lift the Prius off the man using a jack, according to the car’s owner, but the victim died at the scene.

Authorities say the man was trying to steal the car’s catalytic converter, a device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants from a vehicle’s exhaust system.
James Garten, a service adviser at KC Complete Auto, says Pruis’ catalytic converters contain valuable metals like palladium, rhodium and platinum, and thieves can make a quick buck off them.

“When it comes to catalytic converters being stolen, it’s a common occurrence,” Garten said. “They take them to different scrapyards, and they will scrap them out. Nowadays, a lot of scrapyards will take catalytic converters, but you have to supply thedm with titles.”

I'm neither salty or inhospitable and I'm quite relaxed. I don't know why you don't think it is a fair question. She made a claim that Trump was incompetent and I asked for an example as to why she thinks that.

Why?

It's possible to test the entire population and then from the results extrapolate from that data what may be happening in larger untestable groups...

Settle down Penis Lust. I don’t need to explain myself to anybody. It’s a joke that he’s a president. He is a joke.  I Hope life is good in Hawaii in isolation?  They are lifting some restrictions here in my state on Saturday and it’s so confusing that I wish things would remain in place. It’s just another way to try and issue us with fines.

First off, I will let that personal insult and name calling past this time. I'm trying to avoid getting into the constant shit fest that go on here and me being accused with always fighting with everybody here. So I'll let the first insult pass and mark the point to prove that I am not the one who first resorts to personal insults. But if that is what someone wants then you should know by now that I will go to the death.

There has never been a case that I can remember when someone has a claim or belief in something when the conclusion was arrived at by reason and wasn't ready and eager to explain why they think that way. They are less concerned whether or not you agree but will debate their point.

It is always the case that when a conclusion is reached by feelings that they will avoid explaining how they came to that conclusion because there is none. One feels they can make a claim or accusation and leave it at that. "I don't need to explain myself." And seem almost offended that anyone would even question them. Well then, you don't need to give an opinion either. The main stream media is overwhelming anti-Trump. The sheer hatred is unprecedented and it filters down to the masses who are more concerned with Trump's abrasive and often crass personality than anything he has actually done. They create the "mood" or "impression". Not unlike the " mood" or "impression" many have of you because of the oft repeated story of you being a rat on the other board even though they weren't there to witness it. Or the constant Lee Priest reference. Say it enough and people get an impression.

So perhaps being a woman is relevant in this case because women are far more likely than men to come to conclusions based on feelings rather than reason.

White House officials say Trump works so hard, he often misses lunch

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/MZDRnxIJ1RqLJTUHW9B2JdddeKytEpjQw2IWAxdUi8wEoGpIbj-Xzp1JSqGBJPohsW5ZtjXJTcdYGrTUhqccnrYn6Xvbhztq51Z4lBSJ1J06osAWNeY)

Doesn't look like he missed too many lunches.. Check your glasses Mark Meadows, oh yeah first pull your head out of the turd's as*


Some actual fake news


https://nypost.com/2020/04/26/trump-works-so-hard-he-often-misses-lunch-white-house-officials/


President Trump’s schedule is so packed amid the coronavirus crisis that he sometimes skips lunch, his aides told The Post — refuting a report that the commander-in-chief spends his days obsessing over TV coverage and eating fries.

White House staffers said the president works around the clock and can make five dozen work-related calls a day during the pandemic.

“I can tell you that the biggest concern I have as a new chief of staff is making sure he gets some time to get a quick bite to eat,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told The Post.

He said Trump recently called him at 3:19 a.m. He wasn’t expecting the call and was asleep when the phone rang.

“I can tell you that he will go back in and have a lunch just off the Oval Office and more times than not it is interrupted by several phone calls,” Meadows said. “If he gets more than 10 minutes of time in a given day, I haven’t seen in the five weeks I’ve been here.”

A different White House official said Trump some days doesn’t eat lunch.

“There are times when lunch isn’t even a thought,” the official said. “A lot of time there’s either no time for lunch or there is 10 minutes for lunch.”

An account in the New York Times that claimed Trump lingers in his bedroom as late as noon infuriated the president, who tweeted Sunday, “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom.”

“I work from early in the morning until late at night,” the president tweeted.

Another White House official provided The Post with data on recent presidential phone calls, which they said attest to his packed schedule.

On Wednesday, Trump made about two dozen morning calls starting with a conversation around 6:30 a.m. with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, according to the official.

On Thursday morning, Trump made 18 work-related calls from his private quarters, including four to foreign leaders, which can be lengthy due to translation and a broad range of topics. On Friday, he began the day with another four calls with foreign leaders.

Trump returned to the White House residence at 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, according to the official. On Thursday night, he made 11 work calls. On Wednesday night, he was calling until 11:30 p.m. and spoke with a governor, a senator and a congressman.

Trump has meetings and calls during his time in the Oval Office. On Thursday, he took nearly three dozen calls.

“He’ll call up until late evening or midnight on a fairly regular basis,” Meadows said.

At night, “normally he will get six or seven calls from members [of Congress] or business leaders or community leaders, so oftentimes what he will do is go up to the residence and have the White House operator literally do back-to-back calls,” Meadows said.

If Trump has something on his mind, he prefers to call right away. “When he calls in the evening or the early morning, it’s really with a pressing issue that demands immediate action,” Meadows said.

Morning phone calls from the residence are routine for Trump.

“I get phone calls from him early in the morning and at the end of the day,” said Peter Navarro, director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.

“I think I work hard. I put in probably 12-hour days seven days a week and he runs circles around all of us,” Navarro said. “He never seems to tire. So this idea that he’s not working hard is just so absurd. Note to the New York Times: Spending time in the morning reading all of the material that’s given to him by his staff secretary, as well as virtually all of the newspapers, that’s work. That’s not kicking back with a croissant.”

Trump largely has been confined to the White House since COVID-19 triggered widespread business closures and halted his extensive travel. Now, public engagements are limited to press briefings and less frequent televised pool sprays with reporters in the West Wing and on the White House grounds.

Officials don’t dispute that Trump often has a TV screen on during the day, but said that’s a reasonable thing to do. They also do not deny that the president powers through the day on Diet Coke.

Trump monitoring TV news coverage “is like a linebacker watching tape,” the first official said. “How else are we going to know what’s being said and what’s being reported out there?”

Trump’s schedule generally is grueling for reporters and officials whose personal lives are tied to his activities. On Easter, for example, Trump was working in the Oval Office to broker an oil production agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

“We watch him work and work and work, and we get frustrated by the inaccurate coverage, which does not reflect the hard work and leadership we witness every day,” the second official said.

Money paper and coins are so laden with germs, there is no way you'd want to handle it right now. Plastic requires minimal touching and the scanner and stylist can be disinfected between users. This is what is happening at the grocery stores in my town. COVID-19 will probably change how commerce is conducted forever.

Yesterday, I wanted a Subway sandwich. The ordering, delivery and transaction involved a minimal of human contact. Ordered and paid for it online, picked it up at the store at the scheduled time. Signed the receipt with my own pen. When I got home I unwrapped it onto a plate and then washed my hands really well before eating it. The store clerks make the sandwich wearing disposable gloves. The opportunity for a transfer of germs was almost totally minimized.

President’s intelligence briefing book repeatedly cited virus threat

The word "intelligence" must have repulsed the orange turd

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J2uUVWo7eBo/maxresdefault.jpg)


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/presidents-intelligence-briefing-book-repeatedly-cited-virus-threat/ar-BB13hFnC

U.S. intelligence agencies issued warnings about the novel coronavirus in more than a dozen classified briefings prepared for President Trump in January and February, months during which he continued to play down the threat, according to current and former U.S. officials.

a person sitting in front of a door: President Trump delivers a television national address on the coronavirus pandemic from the Oval Office on March 11.© Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post President Trump delivers a television national address on the coronavirus pandemic from the Oval Office on March 11.
The repeated warnings were conveyed in issues of the President’s Daily Brief, a sensitive report that is produced before dawn each day and designed to call the president’s attention to the most significant global developments and security threats.


For weeks, the PDB — as the report is known — traced the virus’s spread around the globe, made clear that China was suppressing information about the contagion’s transmissibility and lethal toll, and raised the prospect of dire political and economic consequences.



But the alarms appear to have failed to register with the president, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material.

The advisories being relayed by U.S. spy agencies were part of a broader collection of worrisome signals that came during a period now regarded by many public health officials and other experts as a squandered opportunity to contain the outbreak.

As of Monday, more than 55,000 people in the United States had died of covid-19.

The frequency with which the coronavirus was mentioned in the PDB has not been previously reported, and U.S. officials said it reflected a level of attention comparable to periods when analysts have been tracking active terrorism threats, overseas conflicts or other rapidly developing security issues.

A White House spokesman disputed the characterization that Trump was slow to respond to the virus threat. “President Trump rose to fight this crisis head-on by taking early, aggressive historic action to protect the health, wealth and well-being of the American people,” said spokesman Hogan Gidley. “We will get through this difficult time and defeat this virus because of his decisive leadership.”


The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for the PDB. In response to questions about the repeated mentions of coronavirus, a DNI official said, “The detail of this is not true.” The official declined to explain or elaborate.

U.S. officials emphasized that the PDB references to the virus included comprehensive articles on aspects of the global outbreak, but also smaller digest items meant to keep Trump and senior administration officials updated on the course of the contagion. Versions of the PDB are also shared with Cabinet secretaries and other high-ranking U.S. officials.

One official said that by mid- to late January the coronavirus was being mentioned more frequently, either as one of the report’s core articles or in what is known as an “executive update,” and that it was almost certainly called to Trump’s attention orally.

The administration’s first major step to arrest the spread of the virus came in late January, when Trump restricted travel between the United States and China, where the virus is believed to have originated late last year.

But Trump spent much of February publicly playing down the threat while his administration failed to mobilize for a major outbreak by securing supplies of protective equipment, developing an effective diagnostic test and preparing plans to quarantine large portions of the population.

Trump insisted publicly on Feb. 26 that the number of cases “within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero,” and said the next day that “it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

In reality, the virus was by then moving swiftly through communities across the United States, spreading virtually unchecked in New York City and other population centers until state governors began imposing sweeping lockdowns, requiring social distancing and all but closing huge sectors of the country’s economy.

As late as March 10, Trump said: “Just stay calm. It will go away.” The next day, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic.

By then, officials said, the warnings in the PDB and other intelligence reports had taken on the aspect of an insistent drumbeat. The first mention of the coronavirus in the PDB came at the beginning of January, focusing on what at that point were troubling signs of a new virus spreading through the Chinese city of Wuhan, and the Chinese government’s apparent efforts to conceal details of the outbreak.

In the ensuing weeks, U.S. intelligence agencies devoted additional resources and departments to tracking the spread of the coronavirus. At the CIA, the effort involved agency centers on China, Europe and Latin America, as well as departments de­voted to transnational health threats, officials said.



The preliminary intelligence on the coronavirus was fragmentary, and did not address the prospects of a severe outbreak in the United States.

U.S. intelligence officials, citing scientific evidence, have largely dismissed the notion that the virus was deliberately genetically engineered. But they are continuing to examine whether the virus somehow escaped a virology lab in Wuhan, where research on naturally occurring coronaviruses has been conducted.

“We’re looking at it very closely, but we just don’t know,” said one senior U.S. intelligence official.

The warnings conveyed in the PDB probably will be a focus of any future investigation of the Trump administration’s handling of the pandemic. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, in early April called for the formation of an independent commission analogous to the one created to investigate the Sept, 11, 2001, attacks.

In response to that probe, the George W. Bush administration was pressured to declassify portions of the PDB from August 2001 — a month before 9/11 — warning that al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was “determined to strike in U.S.”

Senior officials with direct knowledge of Trump’s intelligence briefings say that Trump listens and asks questions during the sessions. “We go in and he treats us with respect,” one senior official said.

But Trump has also been combative or dismissive toward U.S. intelligence agencies throughout his presidency.

In mid-February, as the pathogen was spreading, Trump fired acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire after learning that a senior analyst had briefed members of Congress that Russia was seeking to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and had “developed a preference” for Trump.

Officials have noted that Trump was also contending with the Senate impeachment trial in January and focused on other security issues, including tracking Iran’s response to a Jan. 3 U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian commander, Qasem Soleimani, in Baghdad.

David Priess, a former CIA officer who was a PDB briefer in the George W. Bush administration, said that even if Trump is ignoring his briefing book, other officials including national security adviser Robert O’Brien are probably digesting the material and interacting with Trump daily.

O’Brien’s deputy, Matthew Pottinger, has a background in intelligence and was among a small circle of senior officials urging early action to contain the coronavirus, U.S. officials said. Pottinger pushed to close off air travel from Europe in February, officials said, but Trump did not do so until mid-March.

“The fact that [Trump] gets only two or three briefings a week from the intelligence professionals doesn’t mean that’s the only exposure to the PDB he’s getting,” Priess said. “He can get the best intelligence in the world and still not make good decisions based on it.”

Priess, author of a book on intelligence briefings for presidents, said that Trump’s predecessors have been varied in their approaches to consuming intelligence. President Barack Obama was considered an avid reader of “the book,” which was prepared for him on a specially equipped computer tablet. President George W. Bush reviewed the highlights of the PDB and often discussed its contents at length with his briefer. President Richard M. Nixon likely didn’t read the PDB, Priess said, but was extensively briefed by his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger.

Trump’s top health officials and advisers were also delivering warnings on the coronavirus through January and February, though their messages at times appeared muddled and contradictory.

On Feb. 25, Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, warned publicly that virus was spreading so rapidly that “we need to be prepared for significant disruption in our lives.”

Trump, traveling in India at the time, was outraged by what he regarded as the alarmist tone of her remarks and their perceived impact on the U.S. stock market.

Two days later, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar testified before a Congressional committee that the risk to the public remained “low,” and that the coronavirus would “look and feel to the American people more like a severe flu season in terms of the interventions and approaches you will see.”

On March 11, with cases surging in New York and the stock market plummeting, Trump declared a national emergency and announced a ban on travel from Europe, which had become the new epicenter of the outbreak.

Australia is doing well in comparison to other countries.

So no specific examples as to why you think Trump is incompetent? Not one.

Well, your nonanswer answers my question and my speculation as to why you have come to this conclusion.

It reminds me when I would ask someone why they think Obama or Clinton was such a good president or why Bush was so bad? And they would just say, "Oh, come on?" As if their belief was such common knowledge that it is ridiculous to even suggest otherwise when the real reason was that they had no reason. Again, I've never known of a case when some had arrived at a conclusion through rigorous reason and contemplation that wasn't willing and eager to share their thought process. Why go through all the trouble but just keep your ideas to yourself? It is never the case when their conclusions are purely based on feelings. It's always just "Oh, come on!" or "I don't need to explain myself" as if the whole world should just take them at their word based on no evidence presented. The fact is they just found Obama and Clinton far more likable than Bush and not based on any tangible evidence. Such as your opinion of Trump and just following and jumping on the anti-Trump bandwagon by what you hear from others, i.e., the vast majority of the MSM.

When I was asked why I thought Hillary was incompetent and too corrupt to be President I cited the tragic handling and resulting deaths in the Benghazi incident and the emails and physically destroying the hard disks. You can disagree with my line of reasoning but it is not based on personal feelings pro or con regarding Hillary but based on actual facts that occurred. Compare that with how Trump reacted to the exact same situation, the EXACT SAME INCIDENT, when the Embassy was attacked in Baghdad. He immediately sent in the Marines and crushed that attack with no American casualties. No pussy-footing around or worrying about what the "International Community" would think, which, of course, they condemned. His concern was for American lives not what it would do to his reputation. And he didn't stopped there but continued to target, and kill, the leaders behind this movement and then accused as being just an assassin.

I remember how Nixon was blasted for being an anti-Semite because of recordings they had of him making racist and anti-Semitic remarks in private. And this is the same President who hired Jews to prominent positions, including Henry Kissinger, and literally saved Israel with military support during the Yom Kippur war. All that they ignored because they wanted just another reason to hate Nixon.

I always try to judge people not so much as what they say or what I think their motivations are since I can't read minds, but always by their actions. Remember when ISIS dominated the news during the Obama era just conquering and conquering at will and it was predicted to drag on for many years if not decades? When Trump took over he took off the gloves and crushed them inside a year. That was huge. Huge. But quickly forgotten, and perhaps never known by most, maybe even you, as it didn't really affect you personally and wasn't really covered in the news or give Trump any credit. It dominated the news daily and all of sudden it was gone. Innocent lives being slaughter for their religion. And they were not slaughtered in a humane way. They may be nobodies to you but they, like you, had parents, brothers, sisters, children, and friends. They weren't just nobodies and could have been saved if the present administration at the time acted more like the cantankerous, crude, impatient, but resolute Trump whose first priority was American lives.

You may not like Trump personally and find him repulsive but if it wasn't for him we would still have more scenes like this:

The Way the U.S. is Counting Wuhan Coronavirus Deaths Seems Problematic
Townhall ^ | 04/08/2020 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 4/8/2020, 10:00:23 AM by SeekAndFind

During the White House Wuhan coronavirus task force briefing Tuesday evening, Dr. Deborah Birx said the United States has taken a "liberal approach" in the way doctors classify deaths from the virus.

"The intent is right now if someone dies with COVID-19, we're counting that as a COVID-19 death," Birx said. "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and let's say the virus caused you to go the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death."

Dr. Birx confirms ALL DEATHS of people infected with coronavirus -- regardless of underlying conditions -- are classified as COVID-19 deaths

I've heard this said before.  If this is really happening on a large scale [and not just rarely, or by accident], then that is definitely problematic.

Another thing to consider:

The COVID deaths we are seeing are deaths from a virus that currently has no vaccine, whereas the deaths from the flu are deaths that would otherwise be much higher if no vaccine existed.  So comparing the death counts of each is not an apples to apples comparison.

That being said, the COVID deaths are also at their current number with large scale lock downs in place, and perhaps the COVID deaths would be significantly higher without said measures.  We won't be able to adequately measure this until more time passes and we have more data to analyze.  I still think this virus is being blown out of proportion.

As far as I can tell, those dying under 70 of this virus generally have preexisting conditions.  I'm not yet convinced that COVID is a major risk for the younger segment of the population, or people who are healthy, with strong immune systems, who are not obese, who do not smoke, etc.

But seriously [back to the original point] - if people who die WITH COVID are all being classified as dying FROM COVID, that is extremely disingenuous, and needs to be accounted for in future analyses of the true mortality rate of this virus.

Like I said several days ago, don't sell the middle seat for now.  JetBlue gets the idea. Masks and gloves are mando.  I should be in Washington running this sh!t  ::)



JetBlue becomes first airline to require passengers to wear masks

JetBlue on Monday became the first airline to announce that all passengers will have to wear a face covering on flights.

Starting May 4, passengers will be required to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth during the duration of each flight and also during check-in, boarding and deplaning, according to a JetBlue statement.

"We are also asking our customers to follow these CDC guidelines in the airport as well," said Joanna Geraghty, the airline's president and chief operating officer. “Wearing a face covering isn’t about protecting yourself; it’s about protecting those around you.”

The airline has already started requiring flight crew members to wear face coverings on the job.

JetBlue customers will be reminded by email and at the airport to wear a mask. Small children who can't keep a mask on are exempt.

Since late March, JetBlue has reduced the number of seats available on flights so that passengers and crew are able to spread out.

Confirmed coronavirus cases in U.S. double to 1 million in less than 3 weeks

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States surpassed 1 million on Tuesday, more than doubling in less than three weeks, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The U.S., home to about 4% of the global population, has reported about one-third of the world’s more than 3 million known coronavirus infections. The first known cases of the virus in China began appearing in December. It took nearly four months for the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to hit 500,000 on April 10.

Of the more than 213,000 people who have died of COVID-19 worldwide, roughly 25% ― or about 57,000 deaths ― have occurred in the United States.

Let the good times roll.  Open up those beaches and packed, shoulder to shoulder house parties.  1st World amenities, 3rd World mindset.  ::)



Confirmed coronavirus cases in U.S. double to 1 million in less than 3 weeks

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States surpassed 1 million on Tuesday, more than doubling in less than three weeks, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The U.S., home to about 4% of the global population, has reported about one-third of the world’s more than 3 million known coronavirus infections. The first known cases of the virus in China began appearing in December. It took nearly four months for the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to hit 500,000 on April 10.

Of the more than 213,000 people who have died of COVID-19 worldwide, roughly 25% ― or about 57,000 deaths ― have occurred in the United States.

thats because they have tested people, if you don't mass test (UK) then you have no idea how many people have got or had the virus
UK may have 10 million people infected with no symptoms, until people get tested its all speculation

Fauci is just a front man, a government shill. It was never about the virus and Trump knows it.


At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.



https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/apr/28/coronavirus-hype-biggest-political-hoax-in-history/

And this: “When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. We’re being pressured in-house to add COVID to the diagnostic list when we think it has nothing to do with the actual cause of death. The actual cause of death was not COVID, but it’s being reported as one of the diseases processes. … COVID didn’t kill them, 25 years of tobacco use killed.”

The central bank promised to buy as many government bonds as needed and more than doubled its buying of corporate debt, as Governor Haruhiko Kuroda tried to show the BOJ was pulling its weight in national efforts to support struggling factory owners, shopkeepers and consumers.

Hawaii, tragically, reported another death from the coronavirus. The now-deceased person had been hospitalized since March 1st and was 65 years old with a number of preexisting conditions. This marks the total death rate to ten for the island since all this began. Again, that's a grand total of ten deaths. The island averages about 10 deaths per day in traffic fatalities alone. Again, 10 deaths a day from driving, and not 10 deaths in two months from the virus. In addition, of all that have contracted the disease, less than 1/10th of one percent of the population, more than 80% have recovered.

Governor Ige has now extended the lockdown for another month to June 1st in which "we will reevaluate". Meanwhile, a long time local drive-in since the early 1950s, Likelike Drive-in (pronounced: Lee-kay Lee-kay, after a Hawaiian princess) and considered by locals as a historic mainstay has been forced to shut it's doors forever. A charming family business that's been around for 70 years. A business that one family built and maintained for many decades and help raise and educate four generations
now gone forever. A family legacy destroyed.

This is just one of many such stories caused by government officials who are still getting regular and generous paychecks still being paid for by the taxpayers who are no longer getting paid. But it's the one death by a 65-year-old man who was in poor health to begin with that gets front-page news.

But Hawaii will keep electing Left-wing Democrats and keep the Socialist in power.

The Left/Right divide is about 50/50. I really wish we could find a way to separate the country and have each side go there own way and live according to the political divide wishing each other well with no hard feelings.

One side can give their money to the government and let the government decide how they should live, and the other have more freedom but be responsible for their actions and the consequences whether good or bad and not demand others bail them out. A world where the streets are littered with homeless bums living off food stamps and welfare paid for by others, crapping and pissing on the streets, and harassing and demanding their QP with cheese, or a world where such behaviors merits an on the spot ass-kicking.

I’d be interested in a further breakdown of the statistics. We know men succumb to this more than women and that’s because men on average die younger and are more prone to the primary causes of mortality:  heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc.  I bet the average age woman corona fatality is over 80 and not a single woman under 50 without a pre-existing condition has died.

Hey spoke to an executive director at our prestigious Mayo Clinic and he said they have gone from 500 surgical cases a day to 5. Spoke to a head nurse at another hospital and she said they receive better reimbursement if they write COVID down on a patient's chart. Another exec told me numbers were being padded for more government money to flow their way.

Today's Oregonian has an article about a marked increase in deaths of the past 6 weeks which are not apparently related to COVID-19. In many cases, the deaths occurred at home and not in a hospital. Additionally, nearly all the recently reported COVID-19 deaths in Oregon were people in their late 60's or older. Several who just recently died were in their 90's. In all cases, the folks had other health issues, primarily cardio vascular related.

The dots have been pretty much connected in Walters’ post. Pumping up the numbers means more of those freshly printed dollars for the hospitals, states and cities.

You have the main stream liberal media in this country claiming that the numbers have been under counted when a child can see that the opposite is true.

Here in New York City we have to keep up this charade because if people stop social distancing at the same time hospitalizations and deaths are dropping dramatically it harpoons the whole theory that social distancing was the reason for the decline.

I could not accept your definition of elective surgery because it just did not seem right. But, after looking up the medical definition of elective surgery, I can see where there is a lot of room for what is and what isn't considered elective surgery.

"Elective surgery: Surgery that is subject to choice (election). The choice may be made by the patient or doctor.

For example, the time when a surgical procedure is performed may be elective. The procedure is beneficial to the patient but does not need be done at a particular time.

As opposed to urgent or emergency surgery." https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=14367

Seems as if someone's life is in immediate danger without surgery, it is not considered elective surgery.

Some people run businesses and have employees, bills and customers. Like I do. And as business slows down people lose their jobs. And state unemployment offices don't respond very quickly so a lot of people are going broke.

I guess that's kind of  a desperate need.

This doesn't apply to every business or person out there, but we had over a decade of immense economic prosperity, people are walking around with a $300 jacket on, $200 shoes,  a $700 phone in their pocket, another sitting in a drawer at home, eating out every other day, etc etc. Yet these people didn't manage to have a bit of money saved to see them through a rainy day?

Those who are generally financially responsible and got caught out at an inopportune moment have my sympathy, but my general feeling towards the majority is fuck them. It's just a modern day version of Darwinism in action

Again, this life has no warranty. I drive knowing I could get smashed by some drunk idiot. Allow me to go to the gym or play blackjack in a casino or have a drink in a bar with someone who may have Covid19. I'll take my chances. If it works out poorly please say nice things at my memorial.

To be fair to VG and having watched his old videos, if it's all genuine, he came across as a pretty financially responsible dude.

Ate budget meals, shopped at goodwill, lived within his means. Not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He also had the bigger picture in mind.

It's no surprise he's doing pretty well during these tough times whilst others who were shopping at Versace and eating steak dinner every evening are now contemplating suicide.

I'm 58 years old, weigh 245 pounds and have zero fear of that lame virus. This life never came with a guarantee. I hold nobody responsible for my well being. 

Cowards!

245 lbs. is a lot to weigh unless you are 7' tall. Maybe in 2 years when you are 60 and among the age related vulnerable group, this virus will have been eradicated...or at least there will be a preventative vaccine. Your lack of fear is impressive....makes you seem so macho.

Something seriously wrong going on - Stop The Lockdown Nonsense across the globe it’s utterly Ridiculous - We’re all going to Die some young some old some seemingly fit & well & some not so
That’s Life Let’s Get On with it & Enjoy everyday we can.

You cannot compare traffic fatalities with deaths as a result of a preexisting condition or a virus.  Traffic fatalities have nothing to do with health related deaths. It is like comparing oranges to cue-balls, one's natural and one is man made the only things they have in common are shape and size.

There will never be a suitable vaccine. Why? Mutations. Where is the vaccine for the common cold? Or HIV? I'll wait for your answer and scientific explanation.

And no, there is nothing surprising about dying at age 60 or 70 from Covid, or even the flu for that matter. A lot of post 60 year old people are in shit shape so no surprise they knock off after a bad virus.. Still, I happen to know quite a few 70 year old guys who are still competitive cyclists. In cardiovascular shape you would not believe. One was diagnosed a month and a half  ago with Covid after he returned from California. He went into the hospital after getting a bad cough and ended up getting over it in 7 days.

BTW Tommy is one of the best posters on here and happens to actually lift weights. Surprise- he is a big guy. If you have a thing with guys being macho as opposed to being effeminate, why are you on this board? It's a bodybuilding site. You know - for guys who like to be big and have muscles.

Once you're done sucking off Tommy I suggest you go fact check yourself.

The common colds are mostly Rhinovirus, Covid is not. HIV is a retrovirus, Covid is not.

Flu mutates and undergoes antigenic drifts (and occasionally antigenic shifts), yet there are still vaccines for that. Covid does not mutate anywhere near as fast as flu does. There are also already vaccines for other corona viruses.

(A friend of mine posted this and it’s so very true and on point)

For the people crying for the country to remain shut down, answer these questions:

1) How many children should starve in order to make you feel safe?
2) How many families must go bankrupt in order to make you feel safe?
3) How many wives and children must be stuck at home with an abusive husband/father in order to make you feel safe?
4) How many business owners should lose everything they've worked for in order to make you feel safe?
5) How many people are you comfortable with committing suicide from hopelessness and financial ruin in order to make you feel safe?

Come up with an actual number, don't just dismiss the questions. Come up with the number of people that you think should surrender their lives for YOUR feelings and YOUR safety.

Does it make you feel safer knowing that your unwarranted fear and panic are costing others their livelihoods and even their very lives?

Each time you whine and complain about keeping the country shut down, remember what it's costing OTHER people for you to sit in your house sucking at the teat of CNN, swallowing the panic narrative, and hoarding toilet paper.

Also, remember this - if the TV news had never told you to be afraid of this virus, you wouldn't have. You'd have never given it a thought, you'd have gone about your life as usual along with everyone else. You'd likely have never known there was a virus at all, that this was just another typical flu season. So, remember that all your fear and panic exists because you were TOLD to live in fear and panic.

The Mayor kept going to his gym (what he did there, I have no idea. He looks like shit) until the day before it closed.

To speed up home shopping deliveries and so people weren't bringing in bags from home which supposedly might spread the virus.

It wasn't so much a ban here originally though, more a plastic bag tax/shift to reusable bags.

I am a fatalist. Neither opening things up nor shutting them down make me feel safer. Wearing a mask and avoiding unnecessary contact with others makes sense, but it should be a choice each of us makes and not one that is made for us as if we were all too dumb to think for ourselves. Unfortunately, poor choices have an effect on everyone else. I okay with being responsible for my health and safety. I am not okay with causing someone else to become sick or die.

This virus and others coming down the pike will make people sick and even cause some to die. When it is man verses nature, eventually nature wins. It always does. Earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, tidal-waves and viruses are all greater than humans.

I actually like your earlier post though and that choices should be down to the individual. Seems like a healthy mindset and very reasonable. Only thing I would suggest is that anyone not wanting to go back to should only be given the bare minimum in assistance, like a loaf of bread, milk and some canned sardines. Those returning to work should receive some kinda government top up to their wages dependent on their job/risk factor.

In truth, I did originally resist my family's wish that I refrain from going to the gym and wearing a mask. At the same time that I relented, Governor Brown shut everything....including all gyms down. I did start using the mask whenever I went out and still am. I also go somewhere, usually the grocery store, everyday. Getting out of the house, even for 15 minutes helps me stay sane.

For those required to work, hazard pay makes sense because they are risking their health and their lives for the benefit of others. I happen to like canned sardines and good bread. I'd be okay with that. Luckily, for now I can still afford to buy my own food. Government assistance is not infinite. Eventually, people will have to figure out a way to return to productive lives if they hope to survive. The pressure to open the economy is mounting every day. It will happened and it will happen without the support of scientific experts or the media who tell us that we need to keep things shut down longer.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm



No spike.... normal average # of people dying since the beginning

It's only really NY that the virus took hold and needed locking down. The problem with the US is that if you tried to lock down NY then a large chunk of the New Yorkers would just leave the state and potentially take and spread the virus with them. (This is what happened in Northern Italy with them escaping down south)

The Majority of the US did not need a full lockdown, but how would a hard border have worked out in NY state where no one was allowed to leave?

Good morning morons.

Your favourite Jewish doctor has caught the attention of federal prosecutors through his lies..

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/us/coronavirus-doctor-zelenko-malaria-drug.html

WASHINGTON — A federal prosecutor has opened a preliminary inquiry into whether an obscure New York doctor who won White House attention by claiming he could treat the coronavirus broke the law by falsely claiming that a hospital study of drugs he had promoted had won federal approval.

The doctor, Vladimir Zelenko, wrongly claimed that the Food and Drug Administration had backed a study of a drug cocktail that he asserts is effective in treating Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus


No. Fake news. Other prominent figures were also posting similar information (Rudy Guliani) and they had their accounts blocked on twitter for spreading misinformation

So, because you do NOT politically agree with them it's fake news?

We are fucked lol

Bench

Link to your claims about the Doctor in New York?

(A friend of mine posted this and it’s so very true and on point)

For the people crying for the country to remain shut down, answer these questions:

1) How many children should starve in order to make you feel safe?
2) How many families must go bankrupt in order to make you feel safe?
3) How many wives and children must be stuck at home with an abusive husband/father in order to make you feel safe?
4) How many business owners should lose everything they've worked for in order to make you feel safe?
5) How many people are you comfortable with committing suicide from hopelessness and financial ruin in order to make you feel safe?

Come up with an actual number, don't just dismiss the questions. Come up with the number of people that you think should surrender their lives for YOUR feelings and YOUR safety.

Does it make you feel safer knowing that your unwarranted fear and panic are costing others their livelihoods and even their very lives?

Each time you whine and complain about keeping the country shut down, remember what it's costing OTHER people for you to sit in your house sucking at the teat of CNN, swallowing the panic narrative, and hoarding toilet paper.

Also, remember this - if the TV news had never told you to be afraid of this virus, you wouldn't have. You'd have never given it a thought, you'd have gone about your life as usual along with everyone else. You'd likely have never known there was a virus at all, that this was just another typical flu season. So, remember that all your fear and panic exists because you were TOLD to live in fear and panic.

Word to your mother.

A local nurse told me the hospitals she works at, two hospitals, are almost empty, most of the staff go home early almost every day, there is not much work to do at the moment.

One wing of the hospital was converted into an area for COVID-19 patients, it is completely empty.

Also, many doctors and specialists practises are closed during this lockdown, so if you get sick, need surgery or have to see a specialist, it becomes a lot more difficult.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52526554

A patient diagnosed with pneumonia near Paris on 27 December actually had the coronavirus, his doctor has said.

The Virus was likely around in Jan/Feb in a lot of places. Itt just wasn't yet diagnosed.

The list of symptoms are non specific FFS...

Not everything is coronavirus  ::), they are common symptoms for many diseases.

As I have already said a few times on here, don't be surprised if by now 15 to 20% of the Western world have already had the virus. Some places will even be much higher.

I'll be sure to quote this for your benefit once the antibody data starts coming in.

Why is that crazy? What if someone has the virus, symptom free or not, and does not wear a mask in public, their every breath if laden with germs which linger in the air you breathe as you walk by them, giving you a gift you don't want. What if they touch their mouth or scratch their nose and then touched that carton of protein powder you just bought. When you picked it off the shelf, the virus got on your finger which you just picked your nose with and voila, you now have the virus. better hope your immune system is strong.

If this COVID-19 goes on killing people. It is going to be illegal to step out of your house without wearing a mask. Did you know you cannot get on a plane without a mask now? Soon, this will include all public transit. Some supermarkets already won't let you in the door unless you are wearing one.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/05/white-house-break-up-of-coronavirus-task-force-237769

The Trump White House is planning to wind down its coronavirus task force in the coming weeks and instead ask agencies to take control of the response efforts.

“We’re having a conversation about that and about what the proper time is for the task force to complete its work,” Vice President Mike Pence said at a briefing for reporters on Tuesday. At that point, he added, the work would be moved to agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency.




“We’ve already begun to talk about a transition plan with FEMA,” Pence said.


The undoing of the coronavirus task force comes as the president has turned his attention almost entirely toward reopening the economy as more than a dozen states allow people to slowly return to businesses like hair salons and restaurants. By the end of the week, Trump’s top economic officials are expected to unveil new ideas for tax policy and regulatory changes to bolster the U.S. economy in the third and fourth quarters of the year — even as the death toll from the coronavirus continues to rise and the virus spreads to new areas of the country. Health officials remain concerned about an increase of cases in places like Chicago and Des Moines, Iowa.

“I believe we can be in a very different place in late May or early June,” Pence said. “We’re going to start to look at the Memorial Day window to transition back to having our agencies manage our response in a more traditional manner.”


Top officials on Tuesday said they are seeing a decrease in hospitalizations and have already received reopening plans from 41 states so far, which they consider encouraging. Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the top health experts on the task force, said the administration is keeping a close eye on long-term care facilities, group housing, Native American communities, prisons and workers that have group housing, in the hopes of quelling any oubreaks quickly.

All these developments are being taken into account, officials said, as they determine the necessity of the task force moving forward. The future of the task force will be based on the health conditions, aides said. Pence characterized the discussion of dissolving the task force as “preliminary.”


Inside the White House, there has also been discussion of creating a new and smaller group to supplant the task force — focused on developing a vaccine and therapeutics. Pence said this project, dubbed "Operation Warp Speed," is “almost like a Manhattan Project-style effort to develop a vaccine.”

Health officials and other aides inside the White House are not happy about the upcoming dissolution of the task force, given the ongoing spread of the virus, said one source familiar with the discussions. But in recent days the task force had been meeting less frequently as a group, said a second person familiar with the task force.

“We're all still talking to each other, but we're just not coming together every day for an hour and a half to talk at each other as a group,” the person added. “For the health folks who are doing this stuff day to day, maybe from their perspective, this is more of a stand down.”

The unwinding of the task force was first reported by The New York Times.

There is no need to be wearing a mask outdoors. You're actually doing more harm to your health than good in this situation.

FYI you were taking a greater risk sucking off random cocks at the gloryhole than there currently is with covid19

Which is why I don't put one on until right before I enter a store and take it off as soon as possible after leaving. Wearing a mask is a pain when you also wear glasses and hearing aids. The elastic on the masks which goes around the ears gets tangled into them.

I think you missed where I made it clear I was wearing a mask for the protection of other folks more so than for my own protection. As best as I know, I don't have the virus, but if I did, there's a good chance I wouldn't have symptoms since I seem to be immune to the flu....having never knowingly had it during my entire lifetime.

The risk I took getting sucked off that one time when I was young and careless was negligible as compared to walking around in a crowd of people almost daily, who might be infected with COVID-19.

FYI, since you have no investment in my health, either now or in the past, why did you bother to reply to my post? Seems more like you were looking for an opportunity to say something about glory holes. Perhaps you have some issues you aren't aware of.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/05/white-house-break-up-of-coronavirus-task-force-237769

The Trump White House is planning to wind down its coronavirus task force in the coming weeks and instead ask agencies to take control of the response efforts.

“We’re having a conversation about that and about what the proper time is for the task force to complete its work,” Vice President Mike Pence said at a briefing for reporters on Tuesday. At that point, he added, the work would be moved to agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency.




“We’ve already begun to talk about a transition plan with FEMA,” Pence said.


The undoing of the coronavirus task force comes as the president has turned his attention almost entirely toward reopening the economy as more than a dozen states allow people to slowly return to businesses like hair salons and restaurants. By the end of the week, Trump’s top economic officials are expected to unveil new ideas for tax policy and regulatory changes to bolster the U.S. economy in the third and fourth quarters of the year — even as the death toll from the coronavirus continues to rise and the virus spreads to new areas of the country. Health officials remain concerned about an increase of cases in places like Chicago and Des Moines, Iowa.

“I believe we can be in a very different place in late May or early June,” Pence said. “We’re going to start to look at the Memorial Day window to transition back to having our agencies manage our response in a more traditional manner.”


Top officials on Tuesday said they are seeing a decrease in hospitalizations and have already received reopening plans from 41 states so far, which they consider encouraging. Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the top health experts on the task force, said the administration is keeping a close eye on long-term care facilities, group housing, Native American communities, prisons and workers that have group housing, in the hopes of quelling any oubreaks quickly.

All these developments are being taken into account, officials said, as they determine the necessity of the task force moving forward. The future of the task force will be based on the health conditions, aides said. Pence characterized the discussion of dissolving the task force as “preliminary.”


Inside the White House, there has also been discussion of creating a new and smaller group to supplant the task force — focused on developing a vaccine and therapeutics. Pence said this project, dubbed "Operation Warp Speed," is “almost like a Manhattan Project-style effort to develop a vaccine.”

Health officials and other aides inside the White House are not happy about the upcoming dissolution of the task force, given the ongoing spread of the virus, said one source familiar with the discussions. But in recent days the task force had been meeting less frequently as a group, said a second person familiar with the task force.

“We're all still talking to each other, but we're just not coming together every day for an hour and a half to talk at each other as a group,” the person added. “For the health folks who are doing this stuff day to day, maybe from their perspective, this is more of a stand down.”

The unwinding of the task force was first reported by The New York Times.

Not only this, but the suit standing behind him who has no expression and nothing to say appears to be lifeless and soulless.

If at the end of the year the overall death toll is similar to previous years then we can assume that the virus has had little impact on overall mortality, its likely the people dying now of covid would have probably died later this year anyway,, the vast majority had 4 or more serious health issues to start with.

Murphy extends N.J. coronavirus public-health emergency for 30 days. State of emergency remains in effect.

Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wednesday he’s extending the public-health emergency he declared in New Jersey over the coronavirus pandemic by 30 days.

Murphy declared both a state of emergency and a public-health emergency on March 9 as the pandemic was beginning to spread in New Jersey. He extended that order about a month later on April 7.

The executive order he signed Wednesday will keep it in place through at least June 5, the governor’s office said.

The state of emergency remains in place indefinitely, but the governor said the public-health emergency expires after 30 days.

“I want to make it absolutely clear that this action does not mean that we are seeing anything in the data which would pause our path forward and it should not be interpreted by anyone to mean we are going to be tightening any of the restrictions currently in place,” Murphy said at his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton.

“This ensures we will continue on our current war footing for the coming month,” he aded. “The conditions underpinning this declaration have not changed — we are still in a public health emergency.”

Murphy also stressed that the state needs to continue to practice social distancing, including staying at home as much as possible, while keeping six feet away from people and wear a face mask when you go out.

“Remember, in the absence of a vaccine, or even proven therapeutics for COVID-19, our only cure is social distancing,” he said. “And we know that the efforts of millions of you are working.”

A state of emergency gives state authorities certain executive powers and safeguards to respond to a crisis. It also allows the state to receive federal aid.

A public-health emergency allows the governor to take action under the Emergency Health Powers Act. The order Murphy signed Tuesday extending it also “extends all actions taken by” any department of New Jersey’s executive branch in response to the virus, the governor’s office said.

New Jersey is in its seventh week of unprecedented restrictions after Murphy ordered residents to stay home, banned gatherings, and mandating nonessential businesses close to fight the virus. The governor made his first major step to lifting the orders this past weekend, as he allowed state and county parks and golf courses to reopen, with restrictions.

Some lawmakers, business leaders, and residents, are pushing Murphy to further loosen his orders as Memorial Day draws near — including allowing some stores to reopen with either curbside service or other social-distancing guidelines.

That’s as the state grapples with hundreds of thousands of people filing for unemployment and businesses suffer untold revenue losses.

But Murphy said Tuesday more progress needs to be made before he can further remove restrictions because cases and deaths continue to rise and social distancing remains the best tool to battle the virus. He also said he does not have a more definitive timeline.

“We gotta do it right,” the governor said. “We’ve got to do it responsibly, we’ve got to do it safely, and we are committed to that ... frankly, whether you like that or not.

The stats for Oregon which were published in today's newspaper, overwhelming show that the deaths in this state have been among those past the age of 60 and with compromising health conditions. Most of these folks were also residents of nursing homes. On a more positive note. The fellow who was the first known case in Oregon was just released from the hospital. Bet he's happy to be home. Many people are sent to nursing homes at the end of their life. One Oregon nursing home has had such a large number of COVID-19 related deaths that the government shut them down.

Swedens and German numbers are steadily heading lower and lower while America is going sideways. They have managed to do this without shutting down the whole country and committing economic suicide.

While many of us take jabs at Sweden for some of their policies, in this instance they were right and we went fucking retarded.

As a result of this panic way of thinking we are going to suffer economic hardship for a long, long time and the pain it will cause will make us regret putting any faith into any of these bone heads advising these asshat politicians.

If anything we have only postponed what would have happened anyway and now when they start opening up sections of the economy you'll see numbers bump up again, a media induced panic and another shutdown and/or mass social unrest, political divide, etc..

The virus is very real but the attitude towards it was absolutely wrong.

We don't shut down the whole economy over tens of thousands of deaths from influenza every year. No one seems to care about those people. Corona virus is the exception for some reason.

This virus will burn out through herd immunity but that's hard to happen when you have everyone locked up and scrubbing down everything in sight. If it doesn't burn out then the alternative is to live life with it like we do with murder, cancer, influenza, gun violence, war, etc... and not huddled away like pussies while the system robs you and future generations blind.

No. Not surprised, but disappointed.

Im hopeful that people will gradually get more proactive in protesting these lockdowns. There's already plenty of stories of people who are being imprisoned for their right to provide for their families by opening up their businesses, while prisoners with serious law offenses are let out for fear of contracting the virus. It's really disgusting what these crooked judges and politicians are doing. They deserve some type of negative consequences for their stupid decision to go against people that want to be free. Isn't that what everyone brags about America being after all, free?

It's promising and I truly admire their courage to defy these dipshits

First they said it spread through the subways. Now we find out that most of the cases don’t even use the subways.

As I’ve said, eventually we’ll find out that EVERYTHING we’ve been told was wrong:




Most NY coronavirus patients are retired or unemployed, survey finds

Some 83% of the coronavirus patients were retired or unemployed, according to the survey of 1,269 COVID-19 patients at 113 hospitals. Only 17% were employed.

Results from the state have shown NYPD and FDNY personnel didn't necessarily have higher rates of antibodies than the general public. On Thursday, Cuomo shared results from antibody tests of 27,000 healthcare workers in the downstate area and found similar results. In New York City, 12.2 percent of healthcare workers tested positive, compared with 19.9 percent of the general population. In Westchester, the difference was similar -- 6.8 percent of healthcare workers tested positive for the antibody compared with 13.8 percent of the general population. The difference on Long Island was just 0.3 percent

More than 370 workers at a pork plant in Missouri tested positive for coronavirus. All were asymptomatic


373 employees and contract workers at Triumph Foods in Buchanan County, Missouri, have tested positive for coronavirus. All of them were asymptomatic, according to a press release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

The state of Missouri has reported 8,386 cases and 352 deaths statewide as of Sunday night, according to the Health Department Website.
Triumph, a pork processing plant, is located in St. Joseph, on the border of Missouri and Kansas.
It is just one of dozens of meat packing plants and food processing facilities across the country that have seen outbreaks of the virus, forcing shutdowns and sparking concerns of possible food shortages.

Ongoing testing at the plant

Testing at the plant has been ongoing since last week and results have been coming in over the past few days, the release from DHSS said.

As of April 30, at least 1,500 had been tested, a previous release said.

"We continue to work this weekend contacting these asymptomatic patients and have initiated the process of contact tracing with those determined to be close contacts of our positive cases," Dr. Randall Williams, director of DHSS, said in the release.
DHSS wants those with symptoms or those who have been in contact with a positive case to reach out to their healthcare provider for testing.

17% of employees tested positive

Mark Campbell, CEO of Triumph Foods, thanked employees for undergoing testing in a video message Sunday. "Being swabbed wasn't much fun, yet the test results will be critical to helping us understand where the coronavirus is in our facility and our communities."

Those with positive test results have been asked to stay home and self-isolate. They will be paid under the company's Covid wage continuation policy, according to Campbell.

The company is also providing care packages, including hand sanitizer and face masks, to infected workers. In an effort to slow the spread, the company continues to deep clean, sanitize and disinfect the facility, Campbell said.

The greatest damage was already done.
First it was Bush and Obama who robbed the public by bailing out the financial industry, with no one going to prison over causing the blow up.
Now it's Trump and the democrats who just robbed trillions more for their criminal friends. The greatest theft of all time.

It's nothing new.

The banks and savings & loans got bailed out hugely before that in the early 90s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis

"The federal government ultimately appropriated $105 billion to resolve the crisis. After banks repaid loans through various procedures, there was an estimated net loss to taxpayers of somewhere between ($123.8–132.1) 124 and 132 billion dollars by the end of 1999."

$200+ billion in today's dollars.

What happens to all that money?  Some goes into the banksters' pockets and most goes back into the economy to keep things moving.

Without such an action you'd have serious Great Depression.  So it's bad medicine but you have to take it.

The clapping part was because people in the UK are encouraged by government to clap at a set time every day to give 'thanks' to the hospitals and nurses, so he's mocking them and comparing to 1984 and the film 'They Live'.

Lol the problems weren't dealt with. There was no medicine, there was a bandaid over a gunshot wound. How much value does the money lose before it reaches the common person? It's eaten away at through inflation. We always pay more and more for less and less. Less of us can afford a home, to raise a family., feeed kids, go on a trip etc...

We are in big trouble and there is going to be serious lasting pain that won't change until there a radical shift in the way the system runs today.

Cuomo: Most new NY coronavirus hospitalizations are from people who stayed home

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocking-most-new-coronavirus-hospitalizations-are-people-staying-home.html


"This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home," he added. "We thought maybe they were taking public transportation, and we've taken special precautions on public transportation, but actually no, because these people were literally at home."
Cuomo said nearly 84% of the hospitalized cases were people who were not commuting to work through car services, personal cars, public transit or walking. He said a majority of those people were either retired or unemployed. Overall, some 73% of the admissions were people over age 51.

Gee, what a surprise.



At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.

L.A. County could keep stay-at-home orders in place well into summer, depending on conditions


Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

Ferrer later added that even if the orders remain in place through the summer, it was still possible some restrictions could be eased if conditions improve.

“We are being guided by science and data that will safely move us forward along the road to recovery in a measured way—one that allows us to ensure that effective distancing and infection control measures are in place,” Ferrer said.

Testifying before the Board of Superviros, Ferrer stressed further progress will be guided by efforts to contain the virus. Los Angeles County is now the Calfornia epicenter of the coronavirus, with more than 1,300 deaths so far.

“Our hope is that by using the data, we’d be able to slowly lift restrictions over the next three months,” she said. But without widely available testing for the coronavirus or rapid home kits that would allow people to test themselves daily, it seems unlikely that the social distancing directives and stay-at-home orders would be completely eased.

On Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger also expressed hope there could be more easing in coming weeks.

“I am eager to reopen more of L.A. County as soon as it’s safe to do so, in collaboration with our health experts, community leaders, businesses and residents, with best practices in place to ensure our overall health and well-being. These decisions will be guided by the latest science and data collected,” she said in a statement."I’m confident that the more our communities continue to comply, the sooner we can resume normalcy.”

Ferrer’s comments came shortly before Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he was modifying the state’s stay-at-home orders to allow individual counties to approve the reopening of malls for curbside pickup service only. The order also allows for the reopening of some offices if teleworking is not feasible.

“We aren’t out of the woods yet,” Newsom reminded residents.

In L.A. County, confirmed cases and deaths have continued to rise.

When beaches reopen this week, how people can use the sand will look different. Face coverings will be required when not in the water, and sunbathing won’t be allowed. Only active recreation — surfing, running, walking and swimming — will be permitted. Coolers, chairs, umbrellas and any of the other accessories that typically dot the shoreline should be left at home.

The update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders comes as officials try to meet two needs: restarting the economy under a new normal while also ensuring that the resurgence in activity doesn’t upend progress in the fight against the coronavirus.

There has been a big push in recent weeks to reopen the state’s economy, which has been hurt by the stay-at-home orders. Newsom last week announced new protocols for retail stores and some workplaces to reopen.

Under the plan, some in-restaurant dining, car washes and shopping malls could also be allowed to reopen in coming weeks if public health officials in a county are able to demonstrate that the spread of the virus has stabilized and that they have adequate testing and hospital capacity.

Some rural counties that have seen relatively few cases are likely to be able to meet those benchmarks more quickly than urban counties such as Los Angeles.

A Times data analysis last week found most big California counties are not close to meeting Newsom’s standards. The analysis looked at which counties could pass just the first two criteria — whether deaths have stopped in the last 14 days, and whether there is no more than one case per 10,000 residents in that same time period.

Most of California failed that test. In fact, 95% of Californians live in counties that don’t meet that standard, the Times analysis found. Not a single county in Southern California nor the San Francisco Bay Area met the criteria.

Newsom suggested Friday that the guidelines would be later modified on a statewide basis, allowing larger counties hit hardest by the outbreak to also reopen more broadly. “Over the next few weeks, we’ll be making subsequent announcements for the entire state, not just those that meet those more restrictive criteria,” he said.

On Tuesday, he also explained the guidelines for restaurants in some counties to open for dine-in service, including disposable menus and an emphasis on outdoor seating. He also suggested that customers be screened for symptoms.

Also on Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, warned members of the U.S. Senate that states that push too quickly to ease orders could undo progress that would trigger an outbreak. Fauci said a 14-day decline in cases is the major benchmark that states should meet before reopening.

As other California regions have seen a decline in the number of reported infections and COVID-19-related deaths, L.A. County, the state’s most populous, continues to see growth on both fronts. The county reported Tuesday an additional 961 people who tested positive for the virus, and an additional 45 deaths, bringing the death toll to 1,613. L.A. County’s COVID-19 deaths account for more than half of the state’s total.

Officials have noted that the numbers reported at the start of the week are typically lower, largely because testing is not at full capacity on weekends.

Nearly 253,000 individuals of L.A. County’s 10 million residents have been checked for the virus and roughly 11% — more than 32,000 — have been infected. Officials have been encouraging all residents, even those without symptoms, to get tested.

Officials have said that social distancing has helped slow the spread of the virus, but also have warned that it remains contagious.

“It’s safer to stay at home. COVID-19 has not changed,” Ferrer reminded residents Monday.

Some neighboring counties that are easing restrictions also continue to see increases in cases and deaths. Riverside County, where officials voted Friday to lift requirements for face coverings, reported 150 new cases Monday and 12 additional deaths.

In Orange County, 45 more cases and one death were reported Tuesday as the number of hospitalizations — a count that fluctuates by the day depending on how many of the county’s eligible 25 hospitals report statistics — rose to 230.

Meanwhile in Santa Clara County, which was once the hottest spot for infections in the state, the number of cases has declined. Officials reported two additional cases Monday and zero deaths. Santa Clara is one of six Bay Area counties that have extended shelter-in-place orders.

Also Tuesday, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors debated whether to extend the county’s eviction moratorium to help renters who may be struggling financially because of the pandemic. Supervisors Sheila Kuehl and Hilda Solis proposed extending it until Aug. 31.

Kuehl said she based her proposed date off the Department of Public Health’s guidance that at least some of the stay-at-home restrictions would be extended for the next three months. She added that the board’s need to vote on the moratorium every month would create “amazing anxiety” for renters.

“Obviously our tenants are suffering extreme pain right now,” Solis said.

Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn submitted an amendment to extend the rent eviction moratorium until only the end of June. The board passed that amendment, 3-2, with Kuehl and Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas voting against it.

Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Will Soon Be the World’s
Herd Immunity Is the Only Realistic Option—The Question Is How to Get There Safely
By Nils Karlson, Charlotta Stern, and Daniel B. Klein
May 12, 2020

Students celebrate their graduation in Stockholm, April 2020
Andres Kudacki / The New York Times / Redux
China placed 50 million people under quarantine in Wuhan Province in January. Since then, many liberal democracies have taken aggressive authoritarian measures of their own to fight the novel coronavirus. By mid-March, almost all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries had implemented some combination of school, university, workplace, and public transportation closures; restrictions on public events; and limits on domestic and international travel. One country, however, stands out as an exception in the West.

Rather than declare a lockdown or a state of emergency, Sweden asked its citizens to practice social distancing on a mostly voluntary basis. Swedish authorities imposed some restrictions designed to flatten the curve: no public gatherings of more than 50 people, no bar service, distance learning in high schools and universities, and so on. But they eschewed harsh controls, fines, and policing. Swedes have changed their behavior, but not as profoundly as the citizens of other Western democracies. Many restaurants remain open, although they are lightly trafficked; young children are still in school. And in contrast to neighboring Norway (and some Asian countries), Sweden has not introduced location-tracing technologies or apps, thus avoiding threats to privacy and personal autonomy.

Swedish authorities have not officially declared a goal of reaching herd immunity, which most scientists believe is achieved when more than 60 percent of the population has had the virus. But augmenting immunity is no doubt part of the government’s broader strategy—or at least a likely consequence of keeping schools, restaurants, and most businesses open. Anders Tegnell, the chief epidemiologist at Sweden’s Public Health Agency, has projected that the city of Stockholm could reach herd immunity as early as this month. Based on updated behavioral assumptions (social-distancing norms are changing how Swedes behave), the Stockholm University mathematician Tom Britton has calculated that 40 percent immunity in the capital could be enough to stop the virus’s spread there and that this could happen by mid-June.

Sweden has won praise in some quarters for preserving at least some semblance of economic normalcy and keeping its per capita death rate lower than those of Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. But it has come in for criticism in other quarters for exceeding the per capita death rates of other Nordic countries and in particular, for failing to protect its elderly and immigrant populations. People receiving nursing and elder-care services account for upward of 50 percent of COVID-19 deaths in Sweden, according to Tegnell, in part because many facilities were grievously slow to implement basic protective measures such as mask wearing. Immigrants have also suffered disproportionately, mainly because they are poorer on average and tend to work in the service sector, where working remotely is usually impossible. But Swedish authorities have argued that the country’s higher death rate will appear comparatively lower in hindsight. Efforts to contain the virus are doomed to fail in many countries, and a large percentage of people will be infected in the end. When much of the world experiences a deadly second wave, Sweden will have the worst of the pandemic behind it.


When much of the world experiences a deadly second wave, Sweden will have the worst of the pandemic behind it.
Sweden’s response has not been perfect, but it has succeeded in bolstering immunity among the young and the healthy—those at the lowest risk of serious complications from COVID-19—while also flattening the curve. The country’s intensive care units have not been overrun, and hospital staffs, although under strain, have at least not had to juggle additional childcare responsibilities because daycares and lower schools continue to operate.   

Whether or not they have openly embraced the Swedish approach, many other countries are now trying to emulate aspects of it. Both Denmark and Finland have reopened schools for young children. Germany is allowing small shops to reopen. Italy will soon reopen parks, and France has a plan to allow some nonessential businesses to reopen, including farmers’ markets and small museums, as well as schools and daycare centers. In the United States, which has by far the highest absolute number of reported COVID-19 deaths, several states are easing restrictions at the urging of President Donald Trump, who despite bashing the Swedish model, is pushing the country toward something very similar.

There are good reasons for countries to begin easing their restrictions. It will take several years to tally the total number of deaths, bankruptcies, layoffs, suicides, mental health problems, losses to GDP and investments, and other costs attributable not just to the virus but to the measures used to fight it. It should already be obvious, however, that the economic and social costs of lockdowns are enormous: estimates from the OECD suggest that every month of pandemic-related restrictions will shrink the economies of advanced countries by two percent. France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, according to the OECD, will see their economies shrink by more than 25 percent within a year. Unemployment is rising to levels unheard of since the 1930s—fueling political backlash and deepening social divisions.


Lockdowns are simply not sustainable for the amount of time that it will likely take to develop a vaccine.
Lockdowns are simply not sustainable for the amount of time that it will likely take to develop a vaccine. Letting up will reduce economic, social, and political pressures. It may also allow populations to build an immunity that will end up being the least bad way of fighting COVID-19 in the long run. Much about the disease remains poorly understood, but countries that are locked down now could very well face new and even more severe outbreaks down the road. If these countries follow the Swedish path to herd immunity, the total cost of the pandemic will decrease, and it will likely end sooner.

Sweden’s approach to COVID-19 reflects the country’s distinctive culture, and aspects of it may not be easy to replicate elsewhere. In particular, reliance on official recommendations and individual responsibility may not travel well beyond Scandinavia. Sweden is a special country characterized by high levels of trust—not just between people but between people and government institutions. Swedes were primed to take voluntary recommendations seriously in a way that citizens of other nations may not be.

Swedes are also generally healthier than citizens of many other countries, so additional precautions may be necessary to protect the infirm in other parts of the world. Countries lifting restrictions should also learn from Sweden’s missteps when it comes to the elderly and immigrants: masks and other protective equipment should be made immediately available in nursing homes, and greater emphasis should be placed on protecting service-sector workers who are at higher risk because of age or infirmity. But the emphasis must be on helping at-risk people stay safe and out of harm’s way, not locking entire societies down.

As scientists learn more about the virus and authorities develop new and better ways to work around the contagion—altering the parameters for calculating herd immunity to account for behavioral changes, for instance—the justification for general lockdowns grows weaker and weaker. Even in places like the United States and the United Kingdom, where the pool of at-risk people is much larger, the cost of protecting these people is much lower than forcing everyone to stay home. Managing the path to herd immunity means, above all, protecting the vulnerable. Sweden learned that the hard way, but the situation there is now under control.

As the pain of national lockdowns grows intolerable and countries realize that managing—rather than defeating—the pandemic is the only realistic option, more and more of them will begin to open up. Smart social distancing to keep health-care systems from being overwhelmed, improved therapies for the afflicted, and better protections for at-risk groups can help reduce the human toll. But at the end of the day, increased—and ultimately, herd—immunity may be the only viable defense against the disease, so long as vulnerable groups are protected along the way. Whatever marks Sweden deserves for managing the pandemic, other nations are beginning to see that it is ahead of the curve.

Analysis of Virginia COVID-19 Data
Virginia Department of Health ^ | 5-13-20 | jhl
Posted on 5/13/2020, 12:15:13 PM by JHL

The Virginia Department of Health recently added more detailed demographic and outbreak data to its Coronavirus data website.

The website only reports numbers, not percentages; but by doing a little simple math, interesting facts present themselves:

Statistics for Long-term Care Facilities (e.g. Nursing Homes):
58.8% of all deaths in Virginia were associated with Long-term care facilities.

Contracting the virus in a long-term care facility is not an automatic death sentence:

85.6% of patients who contract the virus in a long-term care facility survive.
This is contrary to the perception we are given, that outbreaks in a nursing home inevitably result in total death of all residents in the facility.

Death by age group:
91.4% of all deaths in Virginia were age 60 or above

If you are 60+, and catch the virus, you had a 87.8% chance of recovering.

If your are under age 60 and catch the virus, you had a 99.6% chance of recovering.

Statistical retrospective survival rate by age group (the probability that you would survive the disease if you were to contract COVID-19):

Age Group   Survival Rate
80+   75.7%
70-79   87.5%
60-69   95.4%
50-59   98.9%
40-49   99.6%
30-39   99.9%
20-29   99.9%
0-19   100%


As of this date, of the 927 reported deaths, no one in Virginia under the age of 20 has died from COVID-19.

Virginia's website does not report co-morbidity data, but it would be interesting to analyze the numbers associated with survival and no co-morbidity.

My guess is that there is something else about working in that environment that causes them to come up positive on the test. It just doesn’t make sense that everybody would be asymptomatic. What does make sense is that the tests are flawed.

It is no different now. The sick are quarantined. -Problem is, it's not always obvious who's sick and who isn't. Wearing a mask and avoiding going out is not being in quarantine. Whether the government should shut down the economy (and businesses) in an effort to avoid the spread of the virus is a different issue.

(countries not governments have currencies, governments have large but not total control over their countries currencies)
If all  worlds governments get to devalue their currencies and run up debt who are the winners and who are the losers?

When currency is devalued (inflated), the winners are those who get the money first before prices start to rise. In this case, it’s the financial establishment and the political class. A lot of money has also gone to the healthcare establishment. Those are the three main players in this scam.

We can go back-and-forth about how much this was planned, but the reality of a currency devaluation and an economic reset is a fact.

So we keep the economy shut down until a vaccine is discovered? How do you know this will ever happen?

We’re still waiting for a vaccine for aids.

The aids virus mutates into a thousand strains once someone is infected. That’s why. Covid 19 mutates slowly so a vaccine is probable.

Okay, I exaggerated.  :-[ As of today only a mere 291,000 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported. This is out of 4.2 million infections. This is approximately over the past 4 months. There is no end in sight. Each year, it is estimated that the flu kills between 290,000 to 650,000. Unlike COVID-19 the common flu is not a reportable illness. Hypothetically, if the rest of the year continues as it has up until now, there will be almost twice as many deaths from COVID-19 as from the flu. There are vaccines which help prevent the flu. Currently, there is no vaccine that will prevent COVID-19. I hope one will be available soon.

Don't know when and if there will be a vaccine for COVID-19. I am guessing it will be before there's one for HIV which causes AIDS. However, medical science is working on a vaccine to prevent HIV. In the meantime, there is PrEP, (pre-exposure prophylaxis) which can help prevent becoming infected with HIV. No HIV = no AIDS. It is not possible to have AIDS without first having HIV.

Doherty institute ( australia ) vaccine study currently being done on 500 NHS workers in the uk, already seen to work in chimps, looks to be commercially available by september to the UK. Downside like many of the vaccines being trailed is that they can't vaccinate over 60s or those with underlying issues, basically the current group that are dying. Those people will have to survive with treatment of which there are many that are currently showing more than promise, they just don't cure death,many of the virus victims are already terminal. The position being considered if the general population is vaccinated, this will stop the spread to the at risk group or at least not exhaust the health systems, basically the vaccine will only deliver what herd immunity would but in a far more controlled manner. Apparently.
But again where states are managing their hospitals and health systems from positions of potential liability and are not using unapproved treatments for fear of liability, this could go on. Absolute madness.

They will probably never even have a vaccine so they can use every "flare up" as an excuse to lock us down.  There is still no vaccine for the flu just a shot to maybe protect you against certain strains.

The global crisis unleashed by the coronavirus pandemic is starting to look like a historic inflection point. While we do not know how long the outbreak will last and how severe its fallout will be, it is difficult to shake the feeling that we are now at a threshold between two eras.

If anything, the inherent uncertainty of this moment recalls the original meaning of the ancient Greek word “crisis”. A key term in Hippocratic medicine, krisis referred to the turning point in a disease, indicating either the beginning of recovery or the onset of death. A true crisis, then, is by definition a vitally important moment at which change has to come – for better or for worse. ......

WARNING: Prolonged use of facemask produces hypoxia

Breathing over and over exhaled air turns into carbon dioxide, which is why we feel dizzy.

This intoxicates the user and much more when he must move, carry out displacement actions. It causes discomfort, loss of reflexes and conscious thought. It generates great fatigue. In addition, oxygen deficiency causes glucose breakdown and endangered lactic acid rise.

Some people drive their car with the mask on, that is very dangerous, because, the stale air can make the driver lose consciousness. It is recommended to use it only if you have someone in front or very close, and it is important to remember to lift it every 10 minutes to continue feeling healthy. It is counterproductive for people who serve the public for 8 hours, as they are intoxicating themselves without knowing it. All lives are important.!” That prevention does not lead you to another problem … let’s use the mask knowingly.

Data: 70% of CT coronavirus-linked deaths have occurred in senior care facilities
CT Post ^ | 5/14/20 | Peter Yankowski and Tara O’Neill
Posted on 5/15/2020, 8:45:36 AM


As Connecticut leaders this week unveiled plans to ramp up testing among the most vulnerable communities hit by COVID-19, the number of infections and deaths at senior care facilities continued to rise, data released by the state Thursday shows.

The data showed that as of Wednesday, 1,927 Connecticut nursing home patients died with coronavirus or whose death is suspected to be associated with the illness. Another 276 residents of assisted living facilities have died after falling ill with COVID-19, the data shows.

The data released Thursday marked the first time the governor’s office released the number of deaths at assisted living facilities, which differ from nursing homes in the level of care they provide senior residents.

Together, the deaths represent roughly 70 percent of the 3,125 COVID-19-related fatalities reported statewide as of Wednesday.

Duke to suspend University-paid retirement fund contributions, cut salaries for highly compensated employees
The Chronicle (Duke University) ^ | May 13, 2020 | Carter Forinash
Posted on 5/15/2020, 10:33:06 AM by CheshireTheCat

Facing a possible decline in revenues of more than a quarter-billion dollars, Duke will suspend University-paid contributions to the Duke Faculty and Staff Retirement 403(b) plan and cut salaries for highly compensated employees for the next 12 months, with President Vincent Price and other top administrators voluntarily taking larger cuts.

In a Wednesday news release, Price described the changes as necessary to alleviate a loss of revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic, which could reach up to 15% of Duke’s annual operating budget—a total loss of between $250 million and $350 million. The University will implement all of the new spending cuts July 1, according to the release...

I'm confident the media is fully aware of the testing increase.  However, they will not mention it, because it doesn't fit the "doom and gloom" agenda.

I watched NBC nightly news with Lester Holt, the other night.  It was literally 60 minutes of Covid-19, "doom and gloom".  The media needs to move on to something else.  Maybe they could get back to the 2020 election.

Here's a trick I learned recently; don't watch, read or listen to the news. Amazingly, you still find out what's going on in the world without being subjected to an overload of doom and gloom. The media gives us what we want. It is how they survive. Weird though it is, people love a train-wreak. Nobody seems that interested in good news.

Corona Isolation is terrible for our immune systems. Media all biased now so article is 2009. Yeah long who cares.

US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT HEALTH WATCH 2009
Could Being Exposed To Germs Boost Your Health?

“I’m a sound believer that we’re too clean of a society,” says Dr. Christopher Carpenter, section head of infectious diseases and international medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. “Our fear of germs has pushed us too far into trying to keep everything safe and sterile. That extreme is harming us more than it’s helping us.”

“We are getting far too sterile,” adds Kiran Krishnan, a microbiologist and chief scientific officer for Microbiome Labs, based in St. Augustine, Florida. “Exposure to microbes is an essential part of being human. Most of our immune system is comprised of tissue that requires activation by the microbes we’re exposed to. Think of the immune system as an army, with tanks and missiles but no general to lead them. That’s the role friendly microbes play in your body; they’re the general.” The vast majority of microbes, 97% to 99%, are benign or beneficial, and they are the best protection to fight pathogenic microorganisms, Krishnan says.

Carpenter and Krishnan say they aren’t against good hygiene. Instead, they say that modern society has one overboard with deploying sterile tactics as  to indiscriminately kill germs – including good bacteria that help maintain a strong and diverse microbiome. Everyone has a microbiome, a collection of more than 100 trillion microbes that live on and in our body, the majority in our large intestine. “The more diverse your microbiome is, the healthier you are,” Krishnan says.

There are simple ways to boost your microbe diversity, Krishnan says. "Almost everywhere we go in the environment, from parks to woods to rivers, we come into contact with microbes." They can enter our respiratory system, our digestive system or just hang on our skin.

You can also

Have closer interactions with people
“We don’t hug and kiss as much as we should,” Krishnan says. “We need closer interactions with other humans, because that exchange of microbes is important for your immune system."

Such interactions can expose you to a greater variety of microbes, boosting the diversity of your microbiome – and potentially keeping you healthier.

Shaving your pits greatly reduces the surface area available to pit stink bacteria. I've done it. Makes a major difference in BO output.

Correct. Shaving your pits is a must if you're someone that works 12 hour plus shifts and are in working in close proximity to others.

I believe a lot of this is ended up being a self fulfilling prophecy. The media gloom and doom predictions led a lot of the nursing home staff to stay home. Nursing homes already have high mortality rates typically about a third die every year. The sad reality is that these are places where people go to die. If they’re understaffed this number is going to go up dramatically.

Phillips one blade bro. No itch

Antiperspirant applied to pit hair is only good for 8ish hours for any beefy high test male. Applying deodorant or anything after that only mixes with BO to produce an equally funky smell.

This brings to light the question I’ve been asking here for months. If so many people are asymptomatic, and the symptoms are very general, how would you know you wouldn’t have had those symptoms anyway in the absence of the virus?

The reality is these so-called scientists are just front people. This was engineered by the financial establishment. It’s basically a three month (one financial 1/4) economic reset. In Manhattan, the financial elite left town weeks before the shutdown. They knew what was going to happen and they knew when it would end.

I don't find soap effective. It permits the washing away of oils by water. That's how soap works. Better than nothing but household amphiphiles aren't antibacterial. That's why pit smell returns. It's not like you kill 'em off and then get recolonized every day.

Alcohol wipes help reduce underarm bacteria and thus unpleasant odors.

While most common body odor is caused by the presence of bacteria on our skin metabolizing the proteins and sugars in our sweat, our diet or the foods we choose to eat may also determine the odor. Basically, you smell like what you eat.

One of the top peer-reviewed medical journals in the world on Tuesday rebuked President Donald Trump after the president incorrectly cited research it published on the coronavirus outbreak in a letter threatening to permanently yank U.S. funding to the World Health Organization.
The Lancet,............ refuted Trump’s claim that the global health body “consistently ignored credible reports of the virus spreading in Wuhan in early December 2019 or even earlier, including reports from the Lancet medical journal.

“This statement is factually incorrect,” the Lancet said, noting it published “no report in December, 2019, referring to a virus or outbreak in Wuhan or anywhere else in China.”

The first such reports published by the journal, the statement continued, were on Jan. 24, where two studies described the first 41 coronavirus patients from Wuhan, the inland Chinese city where the outbreak began, and detailed the first scientific evidence confirming person-to-person transmission of the new virus.........

Las Vegas Airport Installs PPE Vending Machines

On May 13, McCarran International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, became the first U.S. airport to install vending machines stocked with personal protective equipment (PPE). There are three vending machines in total: one located in Terminal 3 near the security checkpoint and two in the ticketing area for Terminal 1.

The machines carry a variety of items for purchase to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other germs. The following are currently available:

 Hand sanitizer
Liquid $4.25
Spray $6.50
Alcohol wipes 10 pack for $5.25
Disposable gloves $4.50 for four pair
Tissue—three travel packs for $3.50
Masks
Reusable cloth, adult & child sizes $14.50
Disposable $7.50 for three
KN95 disposable $8.25
The items may come in handy for travelers who don’t already have their own supplies, especially face masks, considering that all major U.S. airlines are requiring face masks for passengers.

“The airport had these installed because we want passengers to have access to the items they may need to feel confident and comfortable while traveling in current conditions,” wrote McCarran spokesperson Christine Crews via email. She also noted that inventory may change depending on items’ popularity and availability. California-based vending contractor Prepango supplied the vending machines.

The team at McCarran International Airport has undertaken additional measures to protect flyers from the spread of the virus, including increasing cleaning frequency of high-touch surfaces and requesting that entry to the airport be limited to ticketed passengers and employees only.

The airport, which had a record-breaking 51.5 million flyers in 2019, faced a 50 percent year-over-year decline in passengers in March due to COVID-19.

McCarran International Airport may be the first airport to stock vending machines with PPE, but it likely won’t be the last.

Not all airports are going the vending machine route, though. Doug Yakel, public information officer at San Francisco International Airport, confirmed via email that SFO’s management was not presently considering the installation of such vending machines; however, face masks are being handed out for free to flyers who need them.

That doesn’t even tell the whole story. All of the testing sites are in areas that previously had the worst health outcomes, shitholes.

As more states reopen, Georgia defies predictions of coronavirus resurgence. What's the lesson for the rest of the country?

On April 24, as more than 25,000 Americans continued to test positive for COVID-19 each day, Georgia became the first U.S. state to initiate the fraught process known as “reopening.”

The move was controversial, to say the least. In the New York Times, Keren Landman, an Atlanta-based physician, epidemiologist and journalist, accused Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of potentially “setting us up for a punishing new wave of infections” by volunteering Georgia as “the nation’s canary in this particularly terrifying coal mine.”

But now 26 days have passed since the state started to reopen — and that punishing new wave of infections has not materialized. In fact, according to a database maintained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia’s rolling seven-day average of new daily cases — an important metric that helps to balance out daily fluctuations in reporting — has fallen for three weeks in a row.

Those figures are undisputed — despite a clumsy effort by state officials to present the data in a way that made them look even better. And they are a lot better than the experience in two other states that are moving to end lockdowns, Florida and Texas.

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
Updated 7 days ago By Jon Stokes
Experts explain what you should do to get ready, how to protect yourself, what researchers believe are the likely scenarios going forward, and the latest fact-checked news.

Always be skeptical about things you read and share online in situations like this. There’s enough actual bad news about COVID — fake news and conspiracy theories just make things worse.

You can trust this advice because The Prepared was one of the first western publications to track COVID, and this page started warning people in January to prepare for exactly the disruptions and lockdowns that have happened since. Our team also includes practicing medical experts in relevant fields, such as front-line medical staff, epidemiologists (disease doctors) using big data to track the pandemic, and modern preparedness leaders.

Here are the 10 steps you should employ, if you want to turn an unthreatening virus into a global power grab.
1 Start with a poorly defined virus, add an inaccurate test for it, and encourage as many terminally or critically ill people as possible to be repeat tested until they test positive.
2 Report your inevitably very high death rates and get vague about whether these people died OF the virus or simply WITH it.
3 Create a ‘response’ to the ‘crisis’ that rolls out a vast network of authoritarian measures, some of which have been in planning for a long while, and only a minority of which have any possible application to pandemic-prevention. (Make sure to cancel elections until further notice and to hugely increase police powers of arrest and surveillance)
4 Shut down your hospitals to all but ‘covid cases’. Cancel elective surgeries, kidney dialysis, cancer treatments, normal GP consultations and all “non-emergency
healthcare”. Thus inevitably increasing all-cause mortality
.
5 Change your laws in numerous ways to allow almost all of these new deaths to bypass normal checks and balances and be easily diagnosed as ‘covid-19 related’, either with the inaccurate test or simply by ‘clinical presentation’.
6 In case some attending medics are reluctant to go along with this, change the law to allow a single MD, who may never even have seen the patient in question, to diagnose covid19 at his/her own discretion.
7 Report the startling numbers of ‘new cases’ you find as a result of these various manipulations, as evidence for how essential the new authoritarian measures are for ‘saving lives’.
8 With no sense of irony introduce mandatory Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)s for any demographic you consider useless eaters. (If challenged talk about human suffering, limited healthcare resources and ventilators)
9 Don’t forget to add any ensuing deaths to the covid19 totals.
10 Make sure the media calls anyone who questions any part of this a ‘conspiracy theorist’.

Yeah. Properties with any tobacco or marijuana residue smell are an immediate turnoff for many people. Being a non-smoker, even the slightest hint of smokers having lived is evident to me. Cat smells more-so than dog odors can be a problem. There are products which can remove some odors as long as they haven't permeated everything. The worst thing I ever smelled was an apartment where the tenet had passed and was not immediately discovered until the odor of rotting flesh seeped from the unit.

A virtual tour is most often just step in the process of finding the right property. Videos are better than photos which are often morphed to make the spaces look larger. It is never advisable to buy a place unseen (meaning an actual walk-through or two).

I'm asymptomatic, same as the rest of my family, and the same as the other 80-90% of people who get COVID-19. So this virus does not bother me.

I never get the flu either, so I was expecting the same with this and had no symptoms.

It seems to mostly effect people with weak immune systems or other underlying conditions.

Just to be safe, knock on wood. Like you, I have never had the flu that I know of, so this probably means I am either immune or asymptomatic. And considering the usual indications my immune system seems like it must be very strong....good genetics....makes sense. Most people have some physical weaknesses. There is a lot of cancer in my family. Since middle age, I've had incidences of what the doctors described as pre-cancers having to do with organs, mostly skin and nothing fortunately connected to my blood, (my grandfather died of leukemia which he lived with for a long time before it took him at a very advanced age).

I actually have thought very little about becoming infected with COVID-19 although I am wearing a mask when it public to protect others should I be a carrier. Not to be political here, but that's the one thing that pisses me off about Trump not wearing a mask, particularly when he toured the Ford manufacturing plant. He can feel as invincible as he wants and I have no issue, but he doesn't get that wearing a mask is not for self protection so much as it is to protect those around you.

This actually looks like a solid post until you actually think about it and realize it's not a solid post.

Here are the 10 steps you should employ, if you want to turn an unthreatening virus into a global power grab.
1 Start with a poorly defined virus, add an inaccurate test for it, and encourage as many terminally or critically ill people as possible to be repeat tested until they test positive.

You are assuming that the tests have been focused on people on the brink of death, instead of people with symptoms associated with Covid-19. Until you back up that claim with sound evidence, there's no reason to accept this as true.

2 Report your inevitably very high death rates and get vague about whether these people died OF the virus or simply WITH it.

Now it's assumed that health professionals have no idea what they're doing, or that they're blindly following malicious guidelines. Again, without sound evidence, there's no reason to accept this as true.

3 Create a ‘response’ to the ‘crisis’ that rolls out a vast network of authoritarian measures, some of which have been in planning for a long while, and only a minority of which have any possible application to pandemic-prevention. (Make sure to cancel elections until further notice and to hugely increase police powers of arrest and surveillance)

Draconian measures have been taken, that's true. For how long they've been planned out, or how they're helping parties currently in power is unclear.

4 Shut down your hospitals to all but ‘covid cases’. Cancel elective surgeries, kidney dialysis, cancer treatments, normal GP consultations and all “non-emergency healthcare”. Thus inevitably increasing all-cause mortality.

True, but that wouldn't increase Covid-19 cases.

5 Change your laws in numerous ways to allow almost all of these new deaths to bypass normal checks and balances and be easily diagnosed as ‘covid-19 related’, either with the inaccurate test or simply by ‘clinical presentation’.
6 In case some attending medics are reluctant to go along with this, change the law to allow a single MD, who may never even have seen the patient in question, to diagnose covid19 at his/her own discretion.
7 Report the startling numbers of ‘new cases’ you find as a result of these various manipulations, as evidence for how essential the new authoritarian measures are for ‘saving lives’.
8 With no sense of irony introduce mandatory Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)s for any demographic you consider useless eaters. (If challenged talk about human suffering, limited healthcare resources and ventilators)
9 Don’t forget to add any ensuing deaths to the covid19 totals.

Same assumptions as number 2.

10 Make sure the media calls anyone who questions any part of this a ‘conspiracy theorist’.

I don't think most people think it's wrong to question the media or the goverment. In fact, I think most people understandably doubt these two.

At least in my case, I question those who have made the decision of rule out Covid-19 as a hoax right from the start, with literally no evidence whatsoever. Those people have made out their minds a long time ago, and nothing is gonna change that.

And just to be clear, what I think of Covid-19, based on what we now know is:

- It's a flu on steroids, with 5-10 times the death rate.
- Social distancing is needed.
- Quarantines may have been helpful in places with weak health systems, in order to prepare for the disease, but they're not sustainable and need to be lifted.
- Most deaths involve people in their older years.
- Around a quarter of people who have died from Covid could have lived another 10 years if they didn't get the disease.
- A very small proportion of young, healthy individuals die from it, but it's unclear why.

Man Who Has Never Had an Actual Job Encourages Laid-Off Workers to Pick Fruit

The Prince of Wales is a 71-year-old man who has more first names (four) than he's had actual jobs (zero), but that hasn't stopped everyone's second least-favorite Royal from suggesting that recently unemployed Brits should be more-than-willing to earn a single-digit hourly wage while picking fruit for the next several months.

In a video posted to Twitter, a ruddy-cheeked Prince Charles stood on the impeccably manicured grounds of his 53,000 acre Scottish estate and, for 95 carefully enunciated seconds, explained that the country needs people who "are genuinely going to commit" to the exhausting work of harvesting fruits and vegetables for the remainder of the growing season.

"If we are to harvest British fruit and vegetables this year, we need an army of people to help. Food does not happen by magic. It all begins with our remarkable farmers and growers," he said. "It will be hard graft, but is hugely important if we are to avoid the growing crops going to waste [...] I do not doubt that the work will be unglamorous and at times challenging, but it is of utmost importance and, at the height of this global pandemic, you will be making a vital contribution to the national effort."

Charles name dropped Pick for Britain, the government's newly launched campaign to find seasonal help for farms and farmers who desperately need it. According to The Guardian, 98 percent of the United Kingdom's fruit pickers came from countries elsewhere in Europe last year, with the majority of them arriving from Bulgaria and Romania. In late March, before the UK locked itself down, the Concordia charity had secured the services of more than 10,000 foreign workers, but only a handful of them were allowed to travel in time.

Due to a combination of coronavirus-related travel restrictions, a controversial immigration bill that targets so-called "unskilled" workers, and good old fashioned xenophobia, there are anywhere between 70,000 and 90,000 seasonal positions that still need to be filled—and fast. On Tuesday, Environment Secretary George Eustice introduced the shiny new Pick for Britain website for job-seekers who are ready to be up to their elbows in broad beans.

"We believe those who are furloughed may be getting to the point that they want to lend a hand and play their part," he said. “They may be wanting to get out and they may be wanting to supplement their income. If they do feel that way, I would urge them to use that website and look at the opportunities that are there." (And then Symbolism put one in the back of the net, because the site promptly crashed.)

Pick For Britain emphasizes that the available jobs "can be hard work," and it recommends that all applicants should have a good level of physical fitness before getting started. "You will be part of a supportive team, often working outside in the fresh air and you are bound to make new friends," it optimistically continues. (It also adds that workers will "always be paid the national minimum/living wage for the average of the hours that you work," so perhaps you and your new friends can make homes for yourselves underneath some of the empty strawberry boxes scattered around the farm.)

On Twitter, a significant number of responses to Prince Charles' message, and to the follow-up post from Clarence House describing him as "a farmer himself," were some variation on "You first, mate." Others pointed out how ridiculous it looks for a man whose challenging job responsibilities include selecting the Royal Harpist to encourage people to sign up for underpaid physical labor.

According to the most recent annual report from the Duchy of Cornwall, which funds the "personal and professional expenditure" of Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, he received £21.6 million (US $26.4 million) last year. So yeah, let's hear that part about 'hard-graft' again.

they have only been testing people on the brink of death in initially in the UK, they still have a shitty testing system

Now it's assumed that health professionals have no idea what they're doing, or that they're blindly following malicious guidelines. Again, without sound evidence, there's no reason to accept this as true.
thet have guidance to advise them how to establish cause of death, I posted it here before, its not that they dont know what they are doing, they are told what to do
Draconian measures have been taken, that's true. For how long they've been planned out, or how they're helping parties currently in power is unclear.
there is zero evidence that lockdowns actually reduce the spread of the virus, in fact the main source of contamination is in the home, they have already told us this.
True, but that wouldn't increase Covid-19 cases.
There are hardly any "covid deaths" covid doesn't actually kill many people at all, its the associated conditions they have, now anyone dies with anything they always add covid to the stats
Same assumptions as number 2.
there is evidence for all those points...Just because it wasnt added here doesnt make it false
I don't think most people think it's wrong to question the media or the goverment. In fact, I think most people understandably doubt these two.

- It's a flu on steroids, with 5-10 times the death rate.
Nope, in most years flu kills between 16K and 28k people in the UK


- Social distancing is needed.
all social distancing will do is slow the rate of infection, it isnt going to rid the world of covid, its here forever

- Quarantines may have been helpful in places with weak health systems, in order to prepare for the disease, but they're not sustainable and need to be lifted.
The highest transmission rates are in the home so lockdown may have made it worse

- Most deaths involve people in their older years.
Almost all

- Around a quarter of people who have died from Covid could have lived another 10 years if they didn't get the disease.
without a list of their pre-existing conditions you have no idea if thats true

- A very small proportion of young, healthy individuals die from it, but it's unclear why.
In the UK 350 people under 60 has died from Covid that didnt have any other pre-existing conditions, the stats show you are more likely to drown than die from Covid 19, (400 people a year die in the UK on average from drowning every year.) the young people that have died had pre existing conditions

Around the world. I can’t but he’ll think there’s An Agenda & Very Likely an elite group with immense control ( yes I know out there conspiracy theory - Pass the Tin Foil Hat Pls- Only it all Don’t sit right in my mind)

That  anybody who questions this is labeled a conspiracy theorist speaks volumes. Given the events of the past three months, it’s  perfectly understandable for people to ask some hard questions, and wonder or suspect that something else is going.

Yet, for some reason, the media doesn’t believe any alternative opinions should be heard.

These are the statistics from New York City. There is an INVERSE relationship between between social interaction and Covid deaths. The most sociable demographics have been the least affected, unless of course you think that it’s the 75+ crowd hitting the bars and clubs and the 20-30s crowd that was staying home. Incredible that some people are stiill defending this sham:


Did you conclude social interaction and covid deaths were inversely related withouth factoring in Age?

Age is a known confounding factor for Covid deaths, so it should be taken into account.

You are not taking into account Age when dismissing Social Distancing effects.

Imagine studying the effects of nutrition on the Height of teenagers, and not taking into account the variable Age. Nutrition would basically have zero effect on Height because you'd have one big confounding variable not taken into account affecting all the data.

It's the same situation in your example.

Exactly.

Considering that 80-90% or more as asymptomatic as well.

The vast majority of the people dying from this have other health issues or underlying problems and the others showing symptoms are most likely people with weak immune systems.

The majority of healthy people are not going to notice anything if they've contracted the virus.

Your claim was that social distancing has zero effect on the number of covid cases. I said Age needs to be factored in and you obviously missed the point, or are just trying to change the subject.

Give them the stupid fucking test which is largely inaccurate and their heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and cancer magically becomes corona.

Two huge assumptions being made here.

1. The specifity of Covid tests has been evaluated, and the more common tests have a specifity higher than 95%. That means, less than 5 false negatives per 100 tests. So, the assumption about a highly inaccurate test can be dismissed. Sensitivity is around those numbers as well, so the number of false negatives and false positives cancel out each other, in the sense that the number of cases is not inflated.

2. Unless you post sound evidence that health professionals are following some malicious guidelines, there's no reason to accept that as true.

Where do you live? I live in the most densely populated area of New York City and I’m telling you were it not for the media hysteria and the state interventions nobody would’ve noticed anything wrong. Either I’m full of shit or I’ve been stepping over bodies for the last three months. I’ll let Getbig decide.

Anectodal evidence is useless to determine the severity of Covid. Let alone a highly biased individual's one.

Remember when the Italian Lifter warned us about Covid and most posters dismissed his claims? This is no different.

And if we’re all such idiots and you’re such a genius, why are you here? Spend your time on Twitter with the rest of the frustrated Hillary supporters.

I said, just go and visit him and sit in the garden, he said his dad was high risk and didn't want to chance infecting him.

I then asked him if the government cancelled the lockdown next week and said everyone go back to normal lives would he visit him, he said No , he's still at risk of catching the virus?????


This is how fucked up people are, the government tells him he cant see his dad so he obeys, they tell him he can and he ignores the instruction... I wonder if he just doesn't like his dad, I cant think of another reason...

Oxford scientists working on a coronavirus vaccine say there is now only a 50% chance of success because the number of UK cases is falling too quickly

The trial is done by giving the vaccine to a group of participants who then mix with the population to see if they are protected from catching the virus. However, scientists are concerned that they will be unable to tell whether the vaccine has successfully protected participants if the rate of infection in the UK is too low.

Bell said that scientists might have to "chase" the virus around the nation for the vaccine trials to be successful.

One of the gyms I use opened yesterday with shortened hours.

Supposedly, they are open from 5:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. today.  24 Hour Fitness may be open. I'm not sure. None of the gyms have opened the pools, saunas, steam baths and hot tubs. When I go out in a little bit, I will drive by 24 Hour Fitness. They may be requiring you to schedule your workout. There is still a limit on how many people can gather in any given space.

Norway believe the virus peaked there back in March and that lockdown was unnecessary. Expect more stories like this over the coming months.

Social distancing measures, good hygiene, work from home, no large gatherings etc would have been enough to see off the virus in most places.

Only places that needed lockdown measures were large densely packed cities just coming out of winter.

Heartbreaking Data: 42 Percent of US Coronavirus Deaths Are Linked to Nursing Homes, Where Less Than One Percent of Americans Live
Townhall ^ | 05/28/2020 | Guy Benson
Posted on 5/28/2020, 11:30:04 AM by SeekAndFind

The heartbreaking statistic relayed in my headline is not, as some have suggested, an attempt to diminish the tragedy of the tens of thousands of Americans who have died as a result of lethal Coronavirus outbreaks at nursing homes and long-term care facilities.  Every human life has value and dignity, and losing so many aging Americans to this virulent disease is gut-wrenching.  The point is not that older lives lost do not matter.  The point is that as we make difficult public policy decisions about public health and reopening the economy, extraordinary efforts must be undertaken to mitigate the deadly impact of isolated hotspots that arise as the virus sweeps through communities that are exclusively populated by the most vulnerable members of our society.  These numbers, released earlier this week, are staggering and important:

New @FREOPP: Updated report on #COVID19 nursing home fatalities with the latest data as of Friday. https://t.co/ylZ5EqAzWY Nursing homes & assisted living facilities now represent 42% of all deaths from the coronavirus—up from 40% earlier this month—and 52% outside of NY state. pic.twitter.com/78N6vD5Afp— Avik Roy (@Avik) May 26, 2020

Remember that only 1.8% of U.S. residents live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, and yet these facilities have tallied 42% of all #COVID19 deaths.— Avik Roy (@Avik) May 26, 2020


Roy later clarified that the actual percentage of Americans living in these facilities is 0.6 percent.  New York leads the nation in the total number of statewide COVID deaths generally, as well as at nursing homes -- but its overall percentage may still look somewhat favorable due to its government's decision to alter the manner in which such deaths are counted.  As the media flocked to cover this bogus story out of Florida (because of course they did), New York's apparent statistical sleight of hand has garnered relatively little attention.  As we've covered, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his team did an extraordinary job of recognizing and addressing COVID's unique threat to nursing homes, achieving impressive and life-saving results thus far.  Florida's population is older and larger than New York's, yet its death toll is roughly one-tenth of the Empire State's.  Thousands more people perished from the virus in New York nursing homes alone than in the entire state of Florida. Health policy expert Avik Roy, who published the tweets embedded above, adds additional insight based on the data:

States like New York, New Jersey, and Michigan actually ordered nursing homes to accept patients with active COVID-19 infections who were being discharged from hospitals. The most charitable interpretation of these orders is that they were designed to ensure that states would not overcrowd their ICUs. But well after hospitalizations peaked, governors like New York’s Andrew Cuomo were doubling down on their mandates. As recently as April 23, Cuomo declared that nursing homes “don’t have a right to object” to accepting elderly patients with active COVID infections. “That is the rule and that is the regulation and they have to comply with that.” Only on May 10—after the deaths of nearly 3,000 New York residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities—did Cuomo stand down and partially rescind his order...Contrast the decisions by governors like Cuomo with those of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In Florida, all nursing home workers were required to be screened for COVID-19 symptoms before entering a facility. On March 15, before most states had locked down, DeSantis signed an executive order that banned nursing home visitations from friends and family, and also banned hospitals from discharging SARS-CoV-2-infected patients into long-term care facilities...While it is too late for thousands of nursing home residents who have already died, there is still time to protect the millions who remain, by learning from Florida’s example.

Learning from one's mistakes should not include craven blame shift and purging the public record. This looks very suspicious, in light of the deserved criticism New York's disastrous policies are facing:

I'll leave you with the mixed results of the reopening process thus far. Many of the critics' worst fears and most frightening predictions have failed to materialize -- but we need to keep a careful eye on rising hospitalizations:

It's been established for a while now that loads of people are able to clear the virus before it can take hold.

The virus gets into their bodies, but it's cleared before it can get into cells, so it can't replicate. These people can't spread the virus and they won't have antibodies for the virus in their system either. This wouldn't count as an infection so you wouldn't call these people  asymptomatic. I'd guess 50% of those who come into contact with the virus clear it this way.

It will probably be weeks if not months before this information hits the mainstream.

This actually makes sense given what we know at this point. the virus is mainly spread via droplets traveling through the air. When someone sneezes or coughs, they are going to spread droplets and given the added force behind a cough or a sneeze, the droplets will travel farther. Anyone can cough or sneeze, but people who are sick with cold like symptoms are more likely to do this. This is why wearing a mask is for the protection of others as well as for yourself.

My guess is that the big announcement that will show most measures were OTT and that those who have had human coronavirus infections (types of common colds) already had some immunity to Cov2.

Cov2 will also just end up doing the seasonal rounds in milder form and be classed as just another "common cold".

No Coronavirus Spike in States That Lifted Lockdowns Early, ABC Reports
PJ Media ^ | 05/29/2020 | Tyler O' Neill
Posted on 5/29/2020, 11:06:33 AM by SeekAndFind

As states across America lift their coronavirus lockdowns, some fear that COVID-19 cases will spike. After all, the lockdowns were meant to “slow the spread” and “flatten the curve,” so won’t allowing Americans to go back to their normal lives result in more infections?

Yet according to ABC News reporter Ariel Mitropoulos, states that lifted the lockdowns early did not experience a surge in coronavirus hospitalizations, deaths, or the percentage of people testing positive.

“JUST IN: [ABC News] looked at 21 states that eased restrictions May 4 or earlier & found no major increase in hospitalizations, deaths or % of people testing positive in any of them. [SC, MT, GA, MS, SD, AR, CO, ID, IA, ND, OK, TN, TX, UT, WY, KS, FL, IN, MO, NE, OH] via [Ariel Mitropoulos],” ABC News lead medical reporter Eric Strauss tweeted.

— Eric M. Strauss (@ericMstrauss) May 28, 2020

It appears ABC News has yet to publish the results of this investigation, but both Strauss and Mitropoulos are ABC News reporters, and the results of this investigation stand to reason.

Most of these states lifted lockdowns in part because the spread of the coronavirus was already under control in those states.

Even so, this report should give Americans confidence that easing the lockdowns — outside of extreme hotspots like the New York City area — is not as dangerous as naysayers suggest.

It wasn't a hoax, but it wasn't just flu either.

For comparison it looks to be on par with the 1968 Hong Kong flu which was declared a pandemic, but it didn't need the kinda BS measures we are seeing in place now to deal with it. Funnily enough the second peak for that flu was worse than the first in some places. This could still be the case with sars2, but again we don't need retarded measures in place to deal with it.

The only places the coronavirus spread significantly were new york, new jersey and other places with similar death statistics. It spread before lockdown and continued to spread after in homes by those who were already infected during lockdown. It also spread through a lot of vulnerable groups in nursing and care homes after lockdown which skew death statistics. This is why it looks like it flourished. Also this all happened towards the latter part of the flu season, so flu had already done the rounds and was on it's way out anyway.

Maybe you need to read up on flu a bit more too. It pretty much vanishes from the northern hemisphere this time of year every year anyway.

These are the numbers from New York City. The median age is 35. Among the most active, social segment of the population there was never a first wave.

The truth is there’s been so much inconsistency and misinformation that we really don’t know. In the middle of February, New York City residents were encouraged by the mayor and health commissioner to ride the subways and go to parades in Chinatown.

That might look like a stroke of genius if there is a second wave as places like New York might be immune to it.

This.

It definitely sounds worse than the flu. But politicians took advantage of a vulnerable and fearful population and used it their political advantage. The MSM did a good job of spinning the narrative to their advantage.

I was out in the world yesterday and noticed that there are a lot of people not wearing masks. Most of them looked to be under 25 years old. I remember feeling invincible when I was that age....so I get it.  I gave these roving groups of fools a wide berth....not less than 6 feet.

During my outing, I saw that Crate and Barrel was open for business, so I parked and when in to window shop for a new desk chair and maybe a new desk. Everyone there was wearing masks. There were a few reasons for this, one of which was they handed them out at the entrance another was teenagers don't generally spend time shopping for furniture at Crate and Barrel.

I avoided downtown Portland where some of  the demonstrations over Mr. Floyd's murder were taking place. There's a lot of pent up emotions going around these days mainly because we've all been locked up with the shutdown. People are hungry for a reason to get out and do something. An idiot Minneapolis policeman with a big knee and a bad attitude had his dirty deed videoed and that became the catalyst everyone needed to take their minds off COVID-19 issues. How's this for a theory? Not every theory has to be a conspiracy.

When you got 100+ year olds beating this shit it becomes a bit comical when the entire nation has to be under lockdown.

Another critical piece here is mass gatherings are unsafe thus the shutdown of local businesses yet thousands can gather for “peaceful” protests are are encouraged to participate.  What happened to COVID and the fear mongering machine behind it?  New day, new distraction.  You strike me as someone who wears a mask while driving in their own vehicle

You need to go understand the difference between asymptomatic and presymptomatic.

The fact that lockdowns happened at different stages of the spread in different places is something your morons seem to be able to fail to grasp (it's exponential growth all over again  ::) ) In most places a lockdown was pointless, in others like NY and London it was done too late for there to have been any real benefit. At the same time they failed to protect the people who needed shielding and let others carry on as normal. Doing nothing would have been an infinitely better solution than what did happen.

I get it, most of you "just flu" morons can't understand the complexities of what happened, so sticking to "it's just flu" won't tax your brain too much. Plenty of data available suggesting otherwise however, but let's just ignore that so you feel better.

My link is my daughter, who mentioned this yesterday.

Oregon has 'leveled off' which is to say that the number of new cases each day is not increasing. Multnomah county, which has the greatest density and is the most populous and is where Portland is, had not yet applied to reopen because it had not yet reach the criteria. The real test here will be when this area opens back up. Also, Oregon is reopening in phases.

The statistics vary from one source to another.

Corona’s 15 minutes is over. The mask thing didn’t really take off in NYC until late April early May when the numbers were already in steep decline. New York City is scheduled to reopen next Monday. The rest of the state is already open. This was known way way in advance.

Yes it was, by me back in Feb when most had no clue wtf was going on including so called epidemiologists. You're all welcome

Just want to quote this again as this is may be the sanest post in this thread.

The at risk groups appear to be the elderly, long term smokers, diabetics etc. Basically the same at risk groups as the flu.

It will likely cause more deaths than flu because it seems to show little to no symptoms in healthy individuals, so it has the potential to spread must faster.

As for the doom and gloom merchants. I feel for your mental health and chances are this will fizzle out in the next few months as the weather warms up. Stay safe and don't panic
.

But take note of this too.

The warmer weather and extra sunlight is keeping Australia and the southern hemisphere relatively safe from the spread right now.

If remnants of the virus survive the Northern hemisphere summer then we could see the virus re-emerge in the southern hemisphere winter.


The good thing about the panic is that in general people are taking more care with their hygiene now, so we may end up seeing a drop off in the numbers suffering from the common cold and flu.

It can yoyo back and forth like flu if countries/states/cities don't reach some level of herd immunity, but it wont be here every year like flu or be as virulent as it has been this year. It will either become a seasonal "common cold" or disappear completely within a few of years.

Hes old and no matter what you tell him hes scared and will continue being scared.

Exactly what is it you think I am scared of? Dying? People my age and younger die all the time from natural causes. Why would the inevitable scare me?

While I'm not worried about contracting COVID-19, it concerns me that if I caught it, there's a good possibility I would be asymptomatic and not know that I was contagious. In that case, I could pass it on to someone much less healthy than I am which would make me somewhat responsible if they were to get ill and even die as a result.

It's not that I think I am invincible, but the fact remains that I am 75 years old and have never had any strain of the flu. Or, if I did, I definitely never got sick from it.

This is not how it works....

The virus doesn't transit as well due to changing weather conditions this has nothing to do with viral loads......"viral loads" occur within the body, once the person is infected weather conditions have no effect on the infection.

 So viral loads do not change with regard to weather conditions nor does seriousness of the infection once it takes place.

Connect the dots.

More sunshine > Warmer weather > More people outside > Higher Levels of Vitamin D > Better protection and ability to fight viral infection

Coronavirus: Sweden's Tegnell admits too many died


Sweden's controversial decision not to impose a strict lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic led to too many deaths, the man behind the policy, Anders Tegnell, has acknowledged.

Sweden has seen a far higher mortality rate than its nearest neighbours and its nationals are being barred from crossing their borders.

Dr Tegnell told Swedish radio more should have been done early on.

"There is quite obviously a potential for improvement in what we have done."

Sweden has counted 4,542 deaths and 40,803 infections in a population of 10 million, while Denmark, Norway and Finland have imposed lockdowns and seen far lower rates.

Denmark has seen 580 deaths, Norway has had 237 deaths and Finland 321. Sweden reported a further 74 deaths on Wednesday.

How Tegnell's views have changed
Dr Tegnell, who is Sweden's state epidemiologist and in charge of the country's response to Covid-19, told BBC News in April that the high death toll was mainly because homes for the elderly had been unable to keep the disease out, although he emphasised that "does not disqualify our strategy as a whole".

Now he has told Swedish public radio: "If we were to encounter the same disease again, knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would settle on doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done."

When asked if too many people had died too soon, Dr Tegnell said, "Yes, absolutely."

However, he was unclear what Sweden should have done differently and at a press conference later on Wednesday later he underlined that "we basically still think that is the right strategy for Sweden".

Trying to guide the response was rather like steering an ocean liner, as every measure took three or four weeks to work its way through.

While Sweden's approach had been to increase its response step by step, other countries had imposed immediate lockdowns and gradually reopened, he said.

He warned it was too early to say whether the lockdowns had worked or not. "We know from history during the last three or four months that this disease has a very high capacity to start spreading again."

What was Sweden's response?
Although there was no lockdown, Sweden relied on voluntary social distancing, banning gatherings of more than 50 people and halting visits to elderly care homes.

Non-essential travel is still not recommended under national guidelines, but journeys of up to two hours are allowed to see relatives or close friends as long as they do not involve visits to local shops and mixing with other residents.

As Denmark and Norway have begun opening up again, there has been growing criticism of Sweden's response, both inside the country and among its neighbours.

Norway's public health chief Frode Forland said Sweden had focused too much on historical models of viruses, while its neighbours preferred lockdown measures.

Sweden's former state epidemiologist Annika Linde believes Sweden got its response wrong and should have focused on three things:

An early lockdown
Greater protection of care homes
Intensive testing and contact tracing in areas of outbreaks
According to Swedish media, Dr Tegnell and his family were subjected to threats by email last month.

According to Neil Ferguson (the guy who put together the stupid death model for Covid-19) the shutdown did nothing to stop the virus spreading.  Sweden was the only country that was smart in all of this.  He predicted 90,000 would die in Sweden. ::)

If the hospitals are not over run in three weeks then you know the virus is as good as gone

They asked a SAGE scientist this morning on TV about the gatherings he was squirming trying to avoid denouncing the protests, he said that for every 1000 people that were there one person would have the virus, so bearing in mind the transfer rate is less than 1 it shouldn't cause too many cases but it wasn't wise gathering.

If you take his argument then for every 1000 people you meet you might catch it off them


Begs the question "whats the fucking problem then if its that unlikely to catch it?"

Second, an infected person constantly sheds virus particles on almost every surface he touches, such as glasses, keys and phones. That would include the vertical metallic poles shared by standing passengers. A crowded subway train is thus an ideal incubator for coronavirus transmission (Qian et al. 2020).

You say this with such certainty. How could you possibly know that "they" (whoever they are) are listing COVID-19 as the cause of death on almost every death certificate. Surely, you exaggerate.

Is it not possible that folks who might otherwise have gotten the flu ended up sick with COVID-19 since both are viruses? One difference is there is usually a mutated strain of the flu for which vaccines aren't as effective.  Flu season is October through March. According to the CDC, in the U.S. there were between 39,000,000 – 56,000,000 flu illnesses during this year's season and 24,000 – 62,000 flu deaths. COVID-19 hit the U.S. in January. Since then there have been 2,020,000 cases and 117,586 deaths. If these figures are accurate COVID-19 is far, far more deadly than the flu.

There aren't good statistics for flu cases and deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide, annual influenza epidemics result in about 3-5 million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths. I could not find information on this year's number of influenza deaths worldwide. Where did you read that it was 82,000? That figure seems a bit odd since there were as many as 62,000 flu deaths in the U.S. alone which leaves only 20,000 deaths for the rest of the world.

No, Im not making it up, its been admitted already, a death can be listed as Covid as long as they have shown symptoms, no test required, look at the graph posted above

I have already posted the governments guidance on establishing cause of death, most cause of death autopsy reports list several symptoms that cause death, its not that hard to add covid as well bearng in mind we are in the middle of a pandemic

Same goes for "don't wear a face mask" to "you must wear a face mask" to "face masks aren't necessary."

The points regarding the WHO and CDC means very little  to me as I stopped paying attention to them very early on.

It was very obvious from the start they were either full of BS or completely clueless (The former more likely than the latter). Remember they once claimed that there was no human to human transmission.

Masks can work if everyone wears them, but not everyone can or will wear them, so it's pointless and can even be detrimental if you're a healthy person. I stated a month back I wasn't wearing one.

Where are you working bro? Having to wear a mask will suck. I will be refusing/avoiding it where possible even if that means I have to walk 2 hours to get to work instead of taking the train.

The asymptomatic reporting has always been wrong so means nothing. The way the media reported things has most people confused between asymptomatic and presymptomatic spread.

The WHO have actually always said asymptomatic spread is unlikely. It's the media that misled people on this one. They were labelling people spreading virus as asymptomatic during the few days before they went on to develop symptoms. They should have been calling them presymptomaic.

The bigger question is given the WHO have always said asymptomatic spread is likely rare, why is it suddenly making the news now and in this way.

WHO: Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus appears to be ‘very rare’
The New York Post ^ | June 8, 2020 | Bob Fredericks
Posted on 6/9/2020, 9:58:38 AM by Texas Fossil

People who have the coronavirus but don’t display symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the pandemic, World Health Organization officials said Monday.

“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing in Geneva, CNBC reported.

“It’s very rare.”

Health officials warned early on that asymptomatic carriers could be fueling the spread by stealth — but Van Kerkhove said that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way the virus was being transmitted.

“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing,” she said.

“They’re following asymptomatic cases. They’re following contacts. And they’re not finding secondary transmission onward. It’s very rare,” she said.

No, Im not making it up, its been admitted already, a death can be listed as Covid as long as they have shown symptoms, no test required, look at the graph posted above

I have already posted the governments guidance on establishing cause of death, most cause of death autopsy reports list several symptoms that cause death, its not that hard to add covid as well bearng in mind we are in the middle of a pandemic

Deaths in the UK from covid alone on the death cert 1265

You wrote "almost every death certificate". Had you said many death certificates, that would be more believable....at least to me. Anyway, I assume by they you mean doctors and nurse practitioners since coroners are usually involved in deaths from natural causes. So, what reason do these folks, WHO or the CDC have to make the COVID-19 appear to be greater than it is?

Well, thats something we may never know, one things for sure it this pandemic was a lot more than a virus.

They are now claiming the chances of passing the virus on if you are asymptomatic are very low indeed, which begs the question why bother locking down people with no symptoms?

If by "they" you mean the WHO then they always made a point of asymptomatic spread being unlikely. It was certain parts of the media who have and are confusing the issue.

The virus is real. A lot of governments were willing to take a hit on the death toll though, but then some "experts" and media pressured them into shutting down telling them we'll bury you if you don't.

Governments gave in and shut down. Some politicians, lobbyists and mega wealthy saw this as their chance to consolidate power and profit . The same shit basically happened after the Spanish flu and 9/11 so they already had a playbook.

Also note that not everyone lost a lot of money. It was mostly the middle class.

WHO walks back statement on 'very rare' asymptomatic spread as infectious disease experts say it is 'not accurate'

Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, says that the statement left epidemiologists “scratching their heads” afterward. “We were all confused,” says Schaffner. “What’s clear is that they’ve made things less clear.”

He says WHO’s stating that asymptomatic spread is rare “undercuts” the organization’s earlier messages on the importance of masks. “When you translate science to the real world, you’ve got to adhere to the KISS admonition: keep it simple, stupid,” says Schaffner. “You’ve got to boil it down. If the messages get too nuanced, you create confusion. And that’s exactly what happened. If highly sophisticated infectious disease doctors were confused about the message, you can be sure that John and Jane were also confused.”

In the video, Mills greets Roberts. “What do you know, buddy?” Mills asks Roberts, who responds, “You can take off the mask, the case fatality rate is 0.1 to 0.3, according to USC.”

When are you lot gonna learn  ::) You are falling for media spin and agendas. If I were to defend them I'd say they were only saying this to try protect people from themselves as most people seem unable to understand the difference between asymptomatic and presymptomatic spread, so they are just trying to keep things simple.

However this is the WHO and as I  have said they have shown the can't be trusted and have their own agendas and puppet masters. Here is what they said over 2 months ago when there was no media spot light on this.

"An asymptomatic laboratory-confirmed  case is  a person  infected with COVID-19 who  does  not develop symptoms. Asymptomatic transmission refers to transmission of the virus from a person, who does not develop symptoms.There are few  reports of  laboratory-confirmed  cases who  are truly  asymptomatic, and  to date, there has been  no documented asymptomatic transmission. This does not exclude the possibility  that it may occur. Asymptomatic cases have been reported as part of contact tracing efforts in some countries.  WHO regularly monitors all emerging evidence about this critical topic and will provide an update as more information becomes available."

Try looking away from mainstream media and think for yourself if you want to understand the virus and the reality of the situation.

One can hardly keep up with the claims. The WHO claimed those who are asymptomatic have little chance of passing on the virus. The claim made sense since the virus is supposedly airborne. The very next day, I read that the WHO was backing off that claim. There is a lot more speculation than knowledge in the information we are given.

Use my own judgement. -Sounds like a plan. What makes me able to judge something I, nor most of us know nothing about? My logic? My commonsense? -Fact is that the "experts" (people with training in these areas), are struggling for answers. I seriously do not believe those of us who are not educated in medical, scientific and epidemiology areas know more than these "expert's" do about COVID-19.

Logic tells me the virus is real. It also tells me that as much as I may think I am, I am probably not immune to the virus. My health is excellent, so it is safe to assume I don't have compromising health issues. My age could be a problem. Looking at all this, commonsense suggests I could take reasonable precautions to not contract COVID-19. Therefore, I will wear a mask when out in public and I will continue to practice social distancing. I'm  luckier than some folks in that I don't need to work for an income. If I did, that would impact my commonsense conclusions.

Until eventually the Chinks & WHO couldn’t cover it up any longer.
Most countries went into panic mode with it being a man made / altered virus & The OTT extreme
Locked up measures- Sure it’s a potent virus - Now we Know it’s No worse than Flu or Pneumonia.

My response was to the question of whether COVID-19 is real or not. I believe it is very real. Your comment about who made it, only confirms what I was saying.  There's quite a difference in the meanings of made up (created), or made it up (imagined).

Starbucks to close up to 400 U.S. stores

Coffee giant Starbucks announced Wednesday in an SEC filing it will close up to 400 company-operated stores over the next 18 months.

There are over 250 Starbucks locations in New Jersey but it is unknown if any will be impacted. A Starbucks spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Starbucks said it expects to lose up to $3.2 billion in revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the closures are to “strategically optimize our portfolio.”

The filing also said Starbucks has plans to open an additional 300 stores this year, down from 600 originally, as well as renovate layouts in select stores.

“As we navigate through the COVID-19 crisis, we are accelerating our store transformation plans to address the realities of the current situation, while still providing a safe, familiar and convenient experience for our customers,” CEO Kevin Johnson said in a statement.

In March, Starbucks closed its dining rooms and transitioned to only drive-thru and delivery services. Select cafes reopened in May, but those in New Jersey still remain closed.

He is calling it a win. Never mind the fact the someparts and gib broached the subject a month before he started this thread and that I've given an accurate path the virus would take down to numbers, timeline and location months ahead of it doing so.

I thought for myself when this whole forum was against me,when i was telling you you corona would hit us hard, would lead to us being locked down and mass civil unrest would follow.I read that nowhere here, or even in the media for that matter.Rather than be bitter that you are a sheep and were wildly wrong, open your mind and learn not to follow group think.

Companies reassess the value of their locations all the time. Starbucks is always closing stores and opening new ones. There are 3 Starbucks in West Linn. A few years ago, they closed one of them and then opened a new store a year later a block away.

There is one Starbucks and two Dunkins near where I work. The Starbucks closed for the virus while the Dunkins installed safeguards like the counter shield and the distancing markers on the floor.

The Starbucks management made a choice and the employees of the closing locations have to deal with it.

For the safety of their employees, Starbucks closed all stores that didn't have a drive through take out.

Starbucks didn't stiff their employees. Far from it. They paid those who worked and extra $3.00 an hour. The rest got catastrophic pay with benefits for the month of April at least (not sure about May).

In Oregon with current social distancing restrictions, Starbucks is strictly take out.

https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/starbucks-giving-employees-extra-pay-next-month

Duncan Donuts stayed open for drive through and pick-up only. They reduced hours of operations as well as number of staff.

Nothing I could find indicated if those employees who actually worked got extra pay or if those who were laid off got paid or had benefits.

Looks like we might get a second shot. The number of new cases in Texas spiked. Austin, TX is extending stay at home and social distancing orders through June 15.

On Wednesday, Texas reported 2,504 new cases and 32 new deaths. For the third day in a row, the state also reported a record-high number of new hospitalizations at 2,153.

There are good reasons for getting the economy back on track. The way to do that is to reopen. But, there will definitely be a cost. Lives lost and more people getting sick. Anyone who thinks this thing is over, should think again.

Oregon is back in the "red zone" since the phase I opening of most of counties in the state. As a result, Multnomah, County's application to begin phase I reopening has been put on hold by Governor Brown.

AMC Theatres To Reopen in July, Be At Full Capacity By November

AMC Theatres rolled out a plan for reopening their cinemas beginning in mid-July, with theater capacity being increased in stages between July and November, using big-release weekends as pivot points. According to a statement released by AMC, its first phase will open at 30% capacity on July 15, followed by 40% at Phase 2. Labor Day marks the target date to have theaters 50% full, and the current plan is for cinemas to be back to normal in time for the releases of No Time To Die and Soul on Thanksgiving weekend. To accommodate this, AMC says it will automatically "black out" every other row in their cinemas not equipped with reclining seats.

That might mean blacking it out for preordered ticketing, not actually barring people from sitting there; simply removing certain rows would presumably cause crowding in the remaining rows and reduce social distancing. Of course, the argument could be made that it also created distance between people in front of and behind you.

AMC also told Deadline that they are committed to this timeline, regardless of whether movies like Tenet and Mulan move to later dates or not.

"More than 90% of the attendance of the AMC circuit from the entire United States" will be included in the first wave of openings in July, AMC's Adam Aron said in that interview. They will be in between 35 and 45 states.

Australia has had a state driven cyber attack. Infrastructure, utilities, politics. Everything was attacked, all at the same time with top level methods. In other words, China just orchestrated a widespread attack to cripple the country.

A number of things have lead up to this. This isn't a corona thing btw. Oz pulled back on policies for foreign investment allowing all purchases and deals to be called into review annually, essentially allowing the govt to stop any deal. Partly because idiot states allowed control of key ports for 100yrs along with water rights, medical supplies and other key resources.

Rewind back a couple of months to when i said this corona thing would be China's undoing. Well, Oz already fired the first fuck you shots and they retaliated with a full blown cyber attack.

Here’s the bad part, When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please!’”

Hes right, the more people you test the more cases you have, most of those testing positive will recover with very little symptoms so why bother testing everyone and making it look worse.

What Trump, you and some others are not taking into account is that it is the percentage of positive tests which reveals if the virus is on the increase or not. Maybe for some folks, ignorance is bliss.

I tested positive about 5 weeks and was asymptomatic.

I just tested again last week. I hope I’m negative.

Yes, I hope you are negative too. You are like the Getbig test case (pun). If you continue to test negative, it should mean one of two things. Either the positives, were false positives or you've built up an immunity to the virus, which is great news, not only for you but for a lot of other folks. The CDC will probably want to take a look at your situation.

As more people are tested one would expect the rate of posituves to

A) increase
B) decrease

2 points I have pointed out previously in this thread

1. There is a good chance of having some cross immunity from a previous coronavirus infections (one of the viruses responsible for the common cold) The older you are the more likely you are to have had it.

2. As a group the elderly have almost as many asymptomatic cases as teenagers.

Taking those 2 points into consideration it's not surprising your mum in law barely any symptoms, but that doesn't mean it will be the same story for everyone. Also be aware that testing is inaccurate as fuck, so you can't trust that she really did have it.

Stay safe getbig heroes.

Unlike your response, I will explain this to you sans any snide or personal remarks.

This doesn't require a lot of brain power. The rate of positives would increase. But, this is not an accurate measure of what's happening with the virus.

It is the percentage of people testing positive that determines if the virus is on the rise or not. As an example, if you test 100 people and 25 test positive and later you test 1000 people and 250 test positive the percentage of positives remains the same at 25% and one could conclude the spread of virus is flat. However, if you test 100 people and 25 test positive and later test 1000 and 500 are positive the spread of the virus is increasing.

Interesting theory. While I don't remember ever having the flu, I constantly had colds growing up and several bouts of bronchial pneumonia. I don't get a flu shot each year but I do get a pneumonia shot.

Why do you suppose so many elderly are dying from COVID-19 if they are more likely to have some immunity?

UTAH MAY SHUT DOWN.

Health officials are urging Gov. Gary Herbert to return coronavirus restrictions to the “orange” level statewide if Utah does not get down to an average 200 new cases per day by July 1.
“We are quickly getting to a point where the only viable option to manage spread and deaths will be a complete shutdown,” warns a memo that Dr. Angela Dunn, the state epidemiologist, distributed Friday to state and local health officials.

At a guess the type of immunity retained is more like a memory of a encountering a similar virus and not the actual presence of antibodies, so the body remembers how to fight it off and sends the right type snipers into action. However the immune system still needs to be up for the fight and needs to kill of the virus before it can take hold.

Diabetes actually looks to be the main factor right now for bad outcomes and they are starting to think of it more as a blood/inflammatory disease and not a respiratory one. There also appears to be a worse outcome for those who have type A blood which has not been fully understood yet.

My own personal opinion is that it is actually a virus primarily effecting the gut. If it can not be eliminated there it soon start effecting other areas of the body and that's when the body starts going potato.

I fear this may happen in Oregon. Since cautiously opening the state at phase I, the number of new COVID-19 has increased. Some areas are even higher then they were pre-shutdown. Just got word that the annual Labor Day picnic at Oaks Park in Portland is cancelled because governor Brown has disallowed it since it draws a large crowd...more that the 250 max for outdoor events. Bars, restaurants and other indoor venues are limited to 25.

The shut down was not so much to prevent people from getting the virus but rather to slow it down, flatten the curve, so that the hospitals won't be overwhelmed. So, in theory, just as many people will get sick but it will be spread out more and take longer to shake. So, yes, more people will be getting the virus as we open up but the hospitals can handle it.

Maybe this is true where you are, but according to the Sunday Oregonian, some of Oregon's hospitals are already feeling the increase in cases needing to be hospitalized. This is specially true for the smaller private hospitals. Apparently, people are being transferred to OHSU which is Oregon's biggest hospital. However, it no doubt would have been even worse had their been no shutdown.

Since we are opening in phases and most of the state is in phase I still, things are hardly back to normal. Not sure how a restaurant or bar survives when they have to limit capacity to 25 people and less depending on space for social distancing. A local restaurant that's been doing high-end take out throughout the shutdown is open for dine in customers of which they can seat about 9 unless the weather's nice and people can sit outside. They are back to having a jazz group play on weekend nights, which is something no other restaurant in West Linn does.

The latest is that most people with the virus, asymptomatic or not, likely won't spread it.  Only a so called "superspreader" will spread it to a lot of people.

Broadway actor Nick Cordero wakes from coma

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52645276

A Broadway actor who had his right leg amputated while fighting Covid-19 has woken up from a medically induced coma, his wife has revealed.

The 41-year old Canadian actor, who was nominated for a Tony Award for the Bullets Over Broadway musical, has been in hospital in Los Angeles since the end of March.

RIP

Broadway Star Nick Cordero Dead at 41 After COVID-19 Battle

Nick Cordero -- a veteran leading man on Broadway -- has died after a long battle with COVID-19 -- this according to his wife, Amanda Kloots.

First word of Cordero's passing came Sunday when Sony music exec Tony Mottola tweeted ... "NICK CORDERO..REST in PEACE our dear brother!!!" He added, "lead actor and star of “A BRONX TALE MUSICAL”..beautiful sweet man.. amazing talented actor and singer...loving family man ..we pray for you and your family .. @amandakloots."

Tommy finished his thoughts by saying, "..no more pain ..no more sufferin…" Nick's wife, confirmed the news herself on Instagram, writing a lengthy tribute to her husband.

Amanda writes, "God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth."

She continued, "I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, everyday." Amanda went on to thank Nick's team of doctors as well as his supporters who poured in love and well-wishes during his lengthy battle.

Amanda had publicly shared updates while her husband was fighting for his life ever since contracting the virus in March.

Nick was initially hospitalized thinking he had pneumonia, which was later found to be COVID-19. Since being admitted, he's had several complications with his treatment, including septic shock, lung infections and a leg amputation.

Most recently, he had a procedure done to remove a pace maker, and Amanda said Nick might even need a double lung transplant down the road.

Prior to his diagnosis, Nick was an absolute stud on the big stage, having starred in several big shows like "Bullets Over Broadway," for which he got a Tony Award nomination in 2014. He was also in "Waitress," "Rock of Ages," and the musical version of "A Bronx Tale," which earned more nominations and accolades.

Nick also had some on-screen credits, notably playing a cop in the CBS crime drama "Blue Bloods."

He's survived by Amanda and their one-year-old son, Elvis. Nick was 41.

Loans Intended For Small Businesses To Retain Workers Were Hijacked By Large Corporations And The Rich


The Paycheck Protection Program, part of the multitrillion dollar government stimulus package, was primarily intended to help small businesses retain workers. The loosely managed and poorly regulated process was perverted and hijacked by thousands of companies that gamed the system. Through technicalities and loopholes in the program, the sloppy roll out was marred by too-little oversight and the allowance of large corporations, hedge funds, money managers, law firms and fast food chains to receive millions of dollars in forgivable loans.

The concept of PPP was laudable. In the teeth of the Covid-19 pandemic, small businesses that were deemed nonessential were ordered to cease operations. This placed thousands of small and midsized companies in a perilous position. With the sudden shocking lack of customers plummeting revenue, evaporating profits and still bills to pay, many small businesses faced financial ruin. 

The federal government previously offered enhanced unemployment benefits to workers that lost their jobs due, in large part, to the economic effects of the virus outbreak. In an effort to both keep the doors of small businesses open and as an enticement to retain workers and keep them employed, the PPP was put into effect. Companies were offered the opportunity to apply for a forgivable loan. There wasn’t a lot of red tape and the major requirement was a promise to retain employees for a specified time period.

Unfortunately, the lion’s share of the funds went to companies that didn’t fit into this profile. The program was rushed out and handed off to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to manage the process and oversight. Mnuchin then passed it over to the banks. They became in charge of the review, approvals and underwriting the loans. 

There were angry complaints, especially during the initial rollout of the program, that the intended recipients—small and midsize businesses—were shut out. Within days, the initial funds were sucked up by large organizations. These corporations boasted sharp lawyers, accountants, political ties and already held close relationships with banks. They easily cut to the front of the line. Facing pressure and public embarrassment, a number of organizations said that they’d return the funds.

A second phase of PPP was enacted. Once again, heated complaints of cronyism arose. This placed pressure on the Trump administration to reveal which companies received loans from the  $660 billion program intended to keep small businesses afloat.   

According to the Washington Post, “Among the loan recipients, 48,922 reported zero as the number of jobs they would retain with the money, and 40,506 applicants appeared to leave that section blank. It appeared that 10 other companies received between $5 million and $10 million, but reported retaining only one job with the money they received.”

Without the PPP loans, the number of people claiming unemployment benefits would have substantially increased. In light of the resurgence of Covid-19 cases, calls for reclosing businesses and a still weakened economy with little demand from consumers, many of the companies that accepted loans will lay off workers as soon as their restrictions are lifted.

There is another beneficiary of the loan program. Banks stand to see a windfall of billions of dollars in fees paid directly by the Small Business Administration. The top 10 bank lenders, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, will receive about $3.8 billion.

Here are some of the not-so-small companies that received money from the PPP:

Billionaire Kanye West's Yeezy brand borrowed between $2 million and $5 million. There’s no word yet if this money will go toward his newly announced run to become the President of America.   

A major law firm with ties to President Trump, Kasowitz Benson Torres, received a loan for between $5 million and $10 million. 
$350,000 to about $1 million was given to Esplanade Livingston, a Jared Kushner family entity.  Kushner previously divested his stake in the entity.

A real estate entity owned by various members of the Kushner family, Princeton Forrestal,  received a loan of between $1 million and $2 million.

The uber-powerful and successful law firm, Boies Schiller Flexner, received between $5 million and $10 million.

United States Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao’s family’s business, Foremost Maritime, received $350,000 and $1 million. Elaine Chao is married to Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Trucking company Perdue, cofounded by Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, got roughly $150,000 to $350,000 in loans.

Restaurant chains P.F. Chang’s, China Bistro and Chop’t received between $5 million and $10 million.
Private equity-backed TGI Fridays realized at least $5 million. 

The Archdiocese of New York received between $5 million and $10 million. The Catholic Charities of the Archdioceses of San Francisco, Washington, D.C., New Orleans and Boston all received loans valued at over $2 million.

Ironically, self-reliant, libertarian-oriented the Ayn Rand Institute got $350,000 to $1 million.

Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in New Jersey received a loan of about  $1 million to $2 million. The academy is named after President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s grandfather. 

Alamo Drafthouse received a loan of about $5 million. 

News organizations such as the Washington Times got at least $1 million, the Washingtonian $350,000, the Daily Caller received about $350,000 and the American Prospect received at least $150,000.

Political organizations, including the Ohio Democratic Party, got at least $150,000 and the Florida Democratic Party Building Fund received at least $350,000.

The National Republican Club of New York realized at least $350,000 and the Black Republican Caucus in Florida recognized at least $150,000.

Members of Congress received loans too. Republican Representative Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, who owns KTAK Corporation, received between $1 million and $2 million. Republican representative Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania received a loan for his car dealerships.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, received a loan.
Republican West Virginia Governor and billionaire Jim Justice received between $11 and $24 million for his portfolio of companies.

The list is much longer, but I don’t want to raise your blood pressure higher.

Long battle with Covid-19. ::)  How long, 2 weeks?

Try over 3 months dealing with the complications it brought on.

Since being admitted, he's had several complications with his treatment, including septic shock, lung infections and a leg amputation.

Most recently, he had a procedure done to remove a pace maker, and Amanda said Nick might even need a double lung transplant down the road.

For me it was total for 4 weeks. 
1st week:  Fever, body/headaches, disorientation, and night sweats...
2nd week: Fever was gone, but still had body aches.  Weak as hell.  Hard coughing with the headache felt like my head was going to explode.
3rd week: Body aches gone, but still coughing. 
4th week:  Some weakness, but I could function normally.

The pacemaker (a temporary one) was fitted in the hospital as part of his post covid recovery and then it needed removing.

I think what we have just had in the UK was our second wave, I think the first wave was late December early January, many people had the same symptoms back then but it was before the virus was being taken seriously or tested for.

I have questions! I live in the United States.

I have been following Sweden for months now.

It appears your numbers ~ infection, those in the hospital and deaths are seeing a big decline.

Here in the U.S, ours are increasing! We did three months of intense lockdown and trashed our economy just to be worse off by Covid right now.

My friends here thought I was literally a "killer" by even following and posting about the Swedish approach.

What is the U.S. doing wrong? Its now a literal law that we wear masks when in public. Do you wear masks?

Reports here indicate the most dangerous place to go is a bar or inside a restaurant.

We have to wear masks there too! Do you agree that spread of this is most prominent in bars and restaurants? Do you go to bars or restaurants? Some states here are completely closing them once again. Lastly, the debate over opening schools this fall is getting very heated.

What has been the Swedish approach to kids going to school?

What can we in the U.S. learn from your approach. Should kids go back to classrooms this Fall? I have lost more friends to suicide in the last week due to depression than Covid. Drug use is way up here and our economic outlook is quite grim.

Thanks for your thoughts here. And as always, Go Sweden!

Not like this stuff couldn't be figured out months ago. Scientists of piss

Remember tests in Iceland have shown half the people testing positive are asymptomatic and contact tracing can only really start from a symptomatic person. So plenty of cases will be missing from Korean numbers.

There has been plenty of literature about the asymptomatic and how infections via asymptomatic patients are very rare. The WHO have it at 3% or less.

If Asymptomatic cases are indeed 50% of all infections then places like Northern Italy, Madrid, New York and maybe London have or are close to reaching the required number of infections for herd immunity. The timeline just needs to play out now.

As a ballpark figure a city with a population of 10million which doesn't exceed surge capacity will approximately have 5K deaths on its way to achieving herd immunity. Could be 4 times that for somewhere like New York which is under prepared.

It's great you want to carry on as close to normal as possible, we all should, but dismissing  the virus completely is like cutting of your nose to spite your face.

The virus is only weak if you're infected with a small dose and that's the cases for the majority of infections, but catch a big dose and chances are you'll likely be dealing with complications for the rest of your life.

A possible game changer to tackle and prevent coronavirus with a nasal spray solution that has an ingredient that’s found in commonly used Xclear, which alleviates congestion.

“The nasal spray is available in the market. It has been in the market for about 20 years," Ferrer said. "My group and I have done research on it, and it shows that it is helping people with chronic virus sinus issues."


Ferrer and researchers in Utah and Geneva have completed successful in vitro testing to combat COVID-19.

Now, the results from those clinical trials are being sent to the FDA for approval.

“Our hope that with the research is it will prove that it’s safe and effective," Ferrer said. "It actually decreases the symptoms as we have observed in a small controlled group of patients of people that we have tested.”

Now, the results from those clinical trials are being sent to the FDA for approval.

“Our hope that with the research is it will prove that it’s safe and effective," Ferrer said. "It actually decreases the symptoms as we have observed in a small controlled group of patients of people that we have tested.”

Republicans Want to Kill the $600 Weekly Bonus for Unemployed Workers

WASHINGTON — When Congress gets back from its extended Fourth of July break, it will be careening towards an economic cliff — and Republicans don’t seem eager to hit the brakes.

Senate Republicans have refused to work seriously on the next round of legislation to deal with the ongoing economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, insisting on waiting until they return on July 20 before negotiating the next COVID spending package.

That leaves Congress just days to negotiate another potentially massive spending package before some major programs run out. That includes the $600 per week in additional unemployment insurance that has helped keep millions of unemployed people out of poverty during the pandemic. It also leaves in limbo bailouts to state and local governments who have had gaping holes ripped in their budgets by the ongoing recession.

Many Republicans oppose the package in its current form because it pays out more money to some people than they were making in their jobs.

But some have signaled they’re onboard with a few aspects of Democrats’ HEROES Act, a massive $3 trillion proposal for the next round of coronavirus response that the House passed weeks ago. Republicans agree the federal government should boost funds for medical research, are open to some form of support for struggling state and local governments, and some have floated more direct payments to Americans to weather the economic crisis. But they also want liability protection to make it harder for people to sue businesses and individuals if they contract coronavirus.

“We have a lot of important features that all come to an end in July,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the White House’s point man on coronavirus negotiations, said during House testimony last Tuesday.

Lawmakers in both parties are operating on the assumption that they’ll pass something — it’d be a political and economic disaster for all involved if they don’t. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said last week that he planned to wrap up the legislation before Congress heads out again on its annual August recess. But what Republicans are willing to actually pass remains a mystery.

Will Republicans end the $600-a-week unemployment benefit?

Senate Republicans have made it clear they have no plans to back a full renewal of the $600 per month across-the-board boost in unemployment, arguing that it’s slowing economic recovery by disincentivizing people from returning to work.

“Unemployment is extremely important and we need to make sure for those who are not able to recover their jobs, unemployment is adequate. That is a different issue from whether we ought to be able to pay people a bonus not to go back to work,” McConnell said Tuesday. “So I think that was a mistake. And we’re hearing it all over the country, that it has made it harder actually to get people back to work. But to have the base protections of unemployment insurance is extremely important and should be continued.”

McConnell didn’t make clear whether he backed some alternate or smaller federal boost to unemployment, or just wanted state unemployment insurance programs to handle it themselves. It remains unclear at this point what if any unemployment benefit expansion Republicans would be willing to accept — or whether the GOP conference can get on the same page on an actual plan to solve the issue rather than just junk the program.

The real-world consequences of Republicans refusing to continue the expanded unemployment could be severe. While the unemployment rate dropped to 11.1% as of mid-June, down from a high of 14.7% in mid-April, it’s still sky-high by normal standards, and could tick higher as states are forced to lock down their economies to respond to spiking coronavirus cases.

Fully 30 million people have been receiving at least some unemployment insurance since the crisis began, and a Columbia University study found the original pandemic unemployment assistance funds passed by Congress as part of the CARES Act in late March helped keep around 13 million people out of poverty as of April.

Zach Parolin, the study’s lead author, estimated that if those funds aren’t extended, depending on the exact economic conditions between 15 and 30 million more Americans will fall into poverty by the end of the year.

“If Congress does not extend these benefits, it’s safe to say that poverty rates will increase in the second half of the year.”

“If Congress does not extend these benefits, it’s safe to say that poverty rates will increase in the second half of the year, that individuals who lose their jobs in the second half of the year will struggle to pay the rent and put food on the table, and there’s a high possibility that entire families would go months with little to no support from the federal government,” he warned.

A study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that five out of six people who receive the money stand to make more on unemployment, a major sticking point for Republicans who think the money is dissuading people from returning to work. But the GOP has yet to coalesce around an alternate plan — and it’s unclear they’ll be willing and able to do so in the rushed return in late July before the program expires at the end of the month.

States need cash badly

Funding for state and local governments is another crucial piece of the next package. Most government budgets began on July 1 and will need to be adjusted dramatically as states and cities deal with gaping holes in their estimated funding, and without a major assist from the federal government, that means massive looming layoffs in a sector of the economy that’s already started to feel the damage from budget gaps.

Roughly 1.5 million state and local employees have already been furloughed or laid off, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, double the number during the entirety of the Great Recession of 2008-2010. That number will spike dramatically if states and cities are forced to close the gaps in their budget created by coronavirus-created revenue shortfalls by firing people and cutting services. Unlike the federal government, they have to balance their budgets.

“Employees of state and local government, many of them, especially in health care sections risking their lives to save other people's lives. And now they may lose their jobs,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Friday. “In the HEROES Act are the resources to keep state and local government running so you don't have to fire people so that they can continue services.”

A study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive think tank, found that most state and local governments will see revenue drops of 10% to 20% from the previous year due to the ongoing recession — an estimated $600 billion total shortfall over previous estimates over the next two and a half years. Most state and local government officials will revisit in the late summer and fall what they’ll have to do to fix these budget shortfalls. Without federal support, they’ll have to choose between draconian cuts and tax increases.

“Congress really needs to act quickly before states and local governments build in spending cuts that are going to lengthen the recession,” warned Elizabeth McNichol, the study’s lead author.

House Democrats’ bill had about $900 billion in state and local funds. But Republicans have raged against giving states that much would let Democrats in states that had budget crises even before the recession hit off the hook.

McConnell and other Republicans originally signaled they wouldn’t give any help to state and local governments. They’ve walked that back some but have continued to express a stingy attitude towards states. In late May, McConnell said there would be a “plug” of funding for state and local governments, but that he wouldn’t allow funding that would help states fix their “preexisting” budget problems.

How much Congress coughs up will matter a lot. In the last recession, the federal government covered about a quarter of state and local governments’ budget shortfalls, forcing governments to slash employment and funding for both K-12 and higher education. Some states still haven’t fully bounced back to pre-recession levels of education spending, and K-12 class sizes have grown and public university costs have risen by 20% to 30% in many states as a result.

Plenty of other issues remain unresolved as well. The Post Office desperately needs funding to keep operating. Current federal moratoriums on evictions are set to expire, which could cause a massive homelessness crisis. Democrats want expanded food stamp assistance to help keep people from going hungry. The House bill also included $4 billion to states to help them expand mail voting and other voting options so they can run smooth elections in November — a potential looming disaster that has already been foreshadowed by chaotic primaries in states like Wisconsin and Georgia.

But the expanded unemployment insurance and funds for state and local governments are the most crucial elements of the bill. And both remain in limbo as Congress takes its annual July holiday break.

NJ Transit capacity limits lifted, but face masks remain required to slow coronavirus spread, Murphy says

New Jersey Transit trains, buses and light rail may resume operating with full capacity starting Wednesday, though face coverings will remain required for all staff and passengers, Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday.

The lifting of the 50% capacity limits will take effect at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. In addition to NJ Transit trains and buses, they include private-carrier buses, trains, light rail vehicles and Access Link vehicles.

“As we have undertaken our restart and recovery, and as more New Jerseyans begin getting back to their jobs, we are seeing increases in ridership which are beginning to approach 50% of the stated maximum capacity of these vehicles, and we want to ensure that people are able to get to their jobs and that the system continues operating as efficiently as possible,” Murphy told reporters at his coronavirus press conference in Trenton.

Murphy said riders will now need to wear face coverings at all NJ Transit and private-carrier indoor stations, as well as outdoor stations where social distancing “is not practicable.”

“Do it for yourself and do it for your fellow riders, do it for the men and women who are making your trip possible,” Murphy said. “Make sure your mask covers both your mouth and nose – no chin guards by the way. And, if a transit employee asks you mask up, they’re doing their jobs, please be respectful to them and your fellow passengers.”

Murphy said he does not anticipate a full rush of a return to max capacity at all hours.

“We anticipate at least at rush hour that will be a reality,” he said.

Once a coronavirus hotspot, New Jersey has seen its daily figures drop dramatically since peaking in April and remain relatively steady in recent weeks as cases surge in other states.

The rate of transmission has risen in recent days above the key figure of 1 — meaning, on average, every newly infected resident was passing COVID-19 to at least one other person. But the rate has fallen below that mark again. The latest rate reported Monday was .91.

With the rate rising last week, Murphy said the state was pumping the brakes on taking more steps in its gradual reopening from months of lockdown restrictions. Monday marked was the first time since May that a week did not begin with some sort of reopening in New Jersey.

The governor also announced this week New Jersey is now requiring people to wear masks outdoors in public when they can’t practice social distancing.

Meanwhile, the state is calling on people traveling from 19 states with rising cases to voluntarily self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving in New Jersey, including residents returning home.

More than 1.3 million New Jersey residents have filed for unemployment benefits as the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the economy.

That graph is for deaths in hospital, not total deaths in England/UK.

There was no wave of death pre March. It was just a slow spread and the deaths wouldn't have stood out amongst flu deaths. However the spread was exponential and that resulted in the dramatic peak in March/April. Also you might need to factor in the Asian version of the virus and the mutated European version which came later around Feb and possibly spreads faster.

Masks might be redundant in the UK as we aren't far off heard immunity, but they are taking no chances because they can't afford another lockdown this winter.

It's okay if you don't understand the science behind, as it seems a lot scientists themselves don't seem to understand fuck all either. Just put any shitty mask on in the shops and go about your business.

Here we go again. Costco was packed with people stocking up for the next shutdown.

"Gov. Kate Brown is expanding Oregon’s statewide face mask policy, requiring that most Oregonians wear masks in outdoor situations when they cannot stay six feet from other people.

As the number of new COVID-19 infections continue to spike, the governor on Monday also announced a statewide limit of 10 people in indoor social gatherings. Those limits would not apply to businesses or worship services, the governor’s office said.

Both regulations take effect Wednesday.

“Today we are sounding the alarm because we are at risk of letting the virus spiral out of control,” Brown said in a press conference. “The question now is whether Oregon will be the next New York or the next Texas.”"

If you read between the lines you'd be able to figure out that they have been attempting to implement a controlled herd immunity strategy in the UK.

They let the virus peak to a safe level where it wouldn't overwhelm the NHS and then implemented lockdown. They then allowed controlled spread through air travel, public transport and supermarkets during lockdown.They allowed further controlled spread via opening up businesses, allowing protests and small gatherings.

We have reached a stage now where we have or are close to a level of herd immunity and where it won't require any more Countrywide lockdowns. However there are too many unknowns to be 100% certain of this. That's why they are implementing mask use in case the immunity strategy hasn't work.

Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID vaccine candidates have been given fast track status by the FDA.  Moderna Inc was given fast track status for it's COVID-19 vaccine in May.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, like the Moderna vaccine, is based on a technology called messenger RNA, which uses a key genetic messenger found in cells to create protein that the immune system then learns to attack.

Yes you should definitely do this if it works for you. But, will you be wearing a mask when you go out in public? Not for yourself, because we all know you aren't afraid of you shadow, but for the folks you encounter to whom you might give the gift of COVID-19?

First COVID-19 vaccine tested in US poised for final testing

The experimental vaccine, developed by Fauci’s colleagues at the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will start its most important step around July 27: A 30,000-person study to prove if the shots really are strong enough to protect against the coronavirus.

But Tuesday, researchers reported anxiously awaited findings from the first 45 volunteers who rolled up their sleeves back in March. Sure enough, the vaccine provided a hoped-for immune boost.

Those early volunteers developed what are called neutralizing antibodies in their bloodstream -- molecules key to blocking infection -- at levels comparable to those found in people who survived COVID-19, the research team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“This is an essential building block that is needed to move forward with the trials that could actually determine whether the vaccine does protect against infection,” said Dr. Lisa Jackson of the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute in Seattle, who led the study.

There’s no guarantee but the government hopes to have results around the end of the year -- record-setting speed for developing a vaccine.

The vaccine requires two doses, a month apart.

There were no serious side effects. But more than half the study participants reported flu-like reactions to the shots that aren’t uncommon with other vaccines -- fatigue, headache, chills, fever and pain at the injection site. For three participants given the highest dose, those reactions were more severe; that dose isn’t being pursued.

Some of those reactions are similar to coronavirus symptoms but they’re temporary, lasting about a day and occur right after vaccination, researchers noted.

That graph is for deaths in hospital, not total deaths in England/UK.

There was no wave of death pre March. It was just a slow spread and the deaths wouldn't have stood out amongst flu deaths. However the spread was exponential and that resulted in the dramatic peak in March/April. Also you might need to factor in the Asian version of the virus and the mutated European version which came later around Feb and possibly spreads faster.

Masks might be redundant in the UK as we aren't far off heard immunity, but they are taking no chances because they can't afford another lockdown this winter.

It's okay if you don't understand the science behind, as it seems a lot scientists themselves don't seem to understand fuck all either. Just put any shitty mask on in the shops and go about your business.

Fuck me , you still believe what this government is telling you after the monumental fuck ups ,lies and cover ups.

Seriously?

I have already got my exemption from wearing a mask, anyone can get one, carry it with you

Just explain you have a hidden disability, they cant even ask you what it is as they would be in breach of the DDA.

They can still refuse you entry to the shop but they could then find themselves on the end of a huge fine for discrimination.

The whole thing is idiotic. In a restaurant you have to wear it until you get to your table and then you can take it off. On a plane you have to wear it unless you’re going to eat or drink something.

Lol, come on now mate. I was telling people on here the virus was spreading  much earlier than most western governments claimed and before the new research came out, but people didn't wanna believe it.

The Virus was likely around in Jan/Feb in a lot of places. Itt just wasn't yet diagnosed.

I was saying months ago that masks work only if everyone wears them, but they present their own dangers.


Masks can work if everyone wears them, but not everyone can or will wear them, so it's pointless and can even be detrimental if you're a healthy person. I stated a month back I wasn't wearing one.


Having to wear a mask will suck. I will be refusing/avoiding it where possible even if that means I have to walk 2 hours to get to work instead of taking the train.

As usual most of you are late to the party, but still fail to understand the nuances of what's going on.

Also just because I explain the science and supposed rationale behind government policy decisions doesn't mean I think they will work, or that they don't have an ulterior motive.

How deadly is the coronavirus? The true fatality rate is tricky to find

Early reports from January painted a grim picture about just how deadly the coronavirus was. Initially, the World Health Organization estimated that the percentage of infected individuals who die from COVID-19 was 3.4%. That statistic is called the infection fatality rate (IFR) – or colloquially, the death rate – and means that for every hundred people infected with COVID-19, on average, between three and four would die.

As time has gone on, it has become clear that the true risk of death is much lower. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently has a best guess of 0.65% for the IFR. But current estimates fall anywhere between 0.2% and 1%, a surprisingly large range when calculating the infection fatality rate should be as simple as dividing the number of deaths by total infections. And these estimates are changing all the time. In fact, in the time it took to write this article, the CDC changed its best estimate of the fatality rate from 0.26% to 0.65%.

BOSTON’S ICONIC Cheers bar, located at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is facing permanent closure after the business suffered immensely due to the pandemic. The bar is a replica of the set from the popular Cheers sitcom, which aired from 1982 to 1993, and was a staple of the Boston bar scene and a favorite among tourists. Now, after 20 years, the bar will close for good on August 30.

According to the bar’s CEO Marus Ripperger, the dire financial situation was not helped by the property’s landlord, who refused to offer rent forgiveness or assistance when the bar was forced to close in the middle of the pandemic.

“Cheers Replica Bar has had a wonderful 20 years in the iconic Faneuil Hall Marketplace, one of America’s most cherished historic landmarks,” The bar’s founder, Tom Kershaw, said in a press release. “I have faced, and pulled through, many kinds of downturns and upticks in the economy within the last 20 years Cheers Replica Bar at Faneuil Hall Marketplace has been in business. Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with no assistance from our landlord (Ashkenazy Acquisition Group), has made this current challenge insurmountable.”

The bar’s original location on Beacon Street, which inspired the one on the show, will still remain open to the public.

It is so sad how some things work out. The Cheers bar was the ultimate great neighborhood hangout place. Like the show, these places have become a memory. It makes me sad. My favorite neighborhood bar 'Starkey's' closed about 10 years ago and most of us bar buddies drifted apart, lacking a place we could call home. I've stayed in touch with a few of my friends from that great hangout. Somehow checking in with one another via Facebook or email isn't quite the same as the time we all spent together after hard day at the office, unwinding with a cocktail or two.

After Starky's closed, some of the patrons' most beloved bartenders, like Russell, found jobs tending bar at other establishments. Like me, a few of us visited them at their new gig, maybe hoping what we lost could be found again. Unfortunately, that never happened. Some of the best times in life are a one off. I miss all those hours of interesting conversation with my friends at Starky's, just as I imagine folks miss what they had at the Cheers' namesake.

I'm feeling nostalgic right now. If it weren't for this fucking virus, I'd be calling my old friends from Starkey's tomorrow and setting up lunch or drinking dates. Being that these folks are similar in age and probably like me playing it safe. Lunch or a drink is out unless we could find a place where we can still hear what one another says from 6' away and through a cloth face mask. Hmm, while the weather is still permitting, I think I could do this in my own back yard....BYOB.

A Philippine Official Had Sex With His Staff Member While on a Zoom Call About COVID, Then Returned to Work As Normal


Getting caught wearing pajamas on a Zoom call? Bad. Getting caught having sex with your staff on a Zoom call? Worse.

A local government chief in the Philippines was caught having sex with his female treasurer during a work Zoom call to discuss the COVID-19 situation in the area.

Local media reported that the call brought together regional officials from Dasmariñas City in the Philippine province of Cavite, located on Luzon island. The official was identified as Jesus Estil, the captain of the Fatima Dos village council.

According to local media, the encounter began after Estil attempted to mute his Zoom app, thinking that he had also switched off his video. Estil can be seen, in full view of his colleagues, walking away from the computer to engage in a sex act for several minutes.

Afterward, Estil buttoned up his pants and nonchalantly returned to the computer screen. The video was recorded by a colleague on the call and has since made the rounds on Philippine social media.

Outraged residents swiftly filed a petition to have Estil and his treasurer removed from office for misconduct.

Philippines interior spokesman Jonathan Malaya said in a statement on Thursday that the act was “unbecoming.”

“It is appalling and disturbing because it goes against public morals,” he said. “We assure the public that we will investigate this incident and will hold the captain liable.”

Local media reports that the two officials have since stepped down from their posts.

I like this quote from there:

"the estimates of excess deaths reported here may not be due to COVID-19, either directly or indirectly. The pandemic may have changed mortality patterns for other causes of death. Upward trends in other causes of death (e.g., suicide, drug overdose, heart disease) may contribute to excess deaths in some jurisdictions"

How ‘Flatten the Curve’ Turned into ‘Shut Down Forever’ Here in California

But even more troubling than that, huge real-life decisions will be totally dependent on the data point which is not only the least relevant, but also completely unreliable. We now know, thanks to a shocking story in Saturday’s New York Times (which the news media, in an act of abject malpractice is largely ignoring) that the typical test for Covid is prone to providing false-positive results.

Even before this new information, expected false-positive results alone would make it effectively unmanageable for a large California county reach Newsom’s laughably tight standards. Now that we know that the test itself is under scrutiny (which, by the way, should bring into question the reported death and hospitalization rates as well), it is now a sick joke that this is the metric controlling the lives of many millions of people both here, and around the country.

As if this couldn’t get any more preposterous, it all comes on the heels of California’s health director resigning because of massive errors in our data. And, just in case Newsom has not already scored enough woke points with all this nuttiness, on Tuesday he is expected to announce that he is adding a health inequity provision to the COVID reopening standards so that counties where the virus is particularly “racist” will have an even tougher time making their way up Newsom’s slippery ladder of insanity.

Now it looks like the PCR tests are hyper sensitive and people with low/non-contagious viral loads are popping positive and inflating positive test #'s.

Positive test counts are useless as a metric and even more useless w/o context....which is why it's great states and nations are using them as the primary metric for lockdowns.

Having the attitude that we, meaning Americans, will only be pushed so far has gotten us our own independent country and in record time became the world super power.

Wearing a mask outdoors when everyone is spaced apart and then tazing and arresiting you for it is just ridiculous. They don't require it or arrest you if you are not wearing a mask rioting and burning down buildings.

We are not sheep and just blindly follow the rules. Especially rules set by power hungry politicians that don't follow the same rule they impose on others.

What the Actual FUCK??



New CDC data show that Coronavirus mortality rates are now well below those for a seasonal flu.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1564151857098946&set=a.178639475650198


"Seasonal flu infection/mortality rates(IFR)according to Tony Fauci are .1% (NEJM). CDC’s latest data show the COVID IFR for Americans in 0-19 age group is O.003% and in the 19-49 age group 0.02%. Combining 0-49 year olds, which represent 64% of US population, the IFR is 0.01% which means flu is 10x as lethal as COVID.

This number is 1/50th the death rates predicted by modelling funded by Bill Gates that Dr Fauci cited to justify the lockdowns in March.

CDC’s new data show that COVID IFRs for people over 65 are much higher, though still lower than flu in that group.

Furthermore, these numbers are probably inflated by unwise protocols adopted by the Northeastern states early in the pandemic of shoehorning seniors into deadly nursing homes and overuse of respirators.

This data raises three crucial questions:

1. If Covid -19 is now less deadly than seasonal flu, can we continue to justify lockdowns and mask mandates?

2. Is there any point in waiting around for fast tracked, zero liability vaccines with high risk profiles and meager efficacy?

3. Do pandemics disappear when moralities cease or when it’s no longer in the media’s financial interest to frighten and shame the public?"

It's not going all that well, truth be told. There used to be at least some recognition that balancing individual choice with group welfare took a little headscratching and a delicate implementation so as not to appear ham-fisted or overly authoritarian. People would ask things like "Is there data to support the efficacy of these proposed measures or their necessity?"

Lol, what dinosaurs we were. Today's enlightened masses recognize that The State knows what's good for them better than they could possibly know themselves. After all, you're not a doctor. If you are a doctor, you're not an epidemiologist. And even if you are, you aren't the leading epidemiologist. We thought we could ask questions and try to make informed decisions, as if we would know better than The Experts.

Maybe we just didn't want to admit our inadequacy, or the absurdity of predicating individual agency upon woeful incompetence. Thankfully, universal surveillance and unquestioning compliance are moving us past those dark times. #marchofprogress #ffsjustcomply #donaldsutherlandpointandhowl

If you followed this thread you would see that collectively getbiggers hashed out and predicted exactly how the virus and pandemic would play out. We even pinpointed the almost exact IFR months before they got to the actual figure.

Elon Musk says he won’t take coronavirus vaccine, calls Bill Gates a ‘knucklehead’

SpaceX founder Elon Musk stirred the pot yet again after claiming that neither he nor his family would take a COVID-19 vaccine even if it was readily available.

The 49-year-old billionaire dropped the bombshell during a Monday appearance on the New York Times opinion podcast “Sway.”

“I’m not at risk, neither are my kids,” Musk told host Kara Swisher about the rationale behind his decision.

During the bizarre exchange, the Tesla CEO decried the nationwide lockdown as a “no-win situation” that has “diminished my faith in humanity.” Musk previously called widespread quarantines “unethical” and “de facto house arrest,” RT reports.

Instead of the current sweeping measures, the Boring Company boss suggested a more targeted lockdown where “anyone who is at risk” be “quarantined until the storm passes.”

Swisher criticized his suggestion, adding that humans could potentially die in the process.

“Everybody dies,” quipped Musk.

To emphasize the supposed ridiculousness of the quarantines, Musk boasted that SpaceX “didn’t skip a day” throughout the entire pandemic. “We had national security clearance because we were doing national security work,” he said. “We sent astronauts to the Space Station and back.”

Later on, the automotive mogul addressed Bill Gates’ criticisms of his skepticism toward the coronavirus, which Musk called “dumb” in March. During a CNBC interview in July, the Microsoft founder claimed that Musk didn’t know much about vaccines and said he hoped that the SpaceX head “doesn’t confuse areas he’s not involved in too much.”

“Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,” Musk told Swisher. “It’s like, ‘Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you’re invested in.'” He was referring to the fact that Tesla manufactures equipment for the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.

This past July, the car magnate shaded Gates with a series of cryptic tweets that read, “Billy G is not my lover” and “The rumor that Bill Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue.”

The Rona 2.0

My nephew just started college. 5000 students.
They tested them all when they came in a couple weeks back.
Results just came back, 17 kids have "The Rona" but they are not sick.
They panicked, shut down school, sent 'em home until at least JAN.  ::)

Its a whacky libtard college (like most).

Insane.

I have no idea about the protein.  The morning workouts were strong as ever because I had eaten a large amount the night before and was carb loaded.  After a workout was the problem as waiting another 12 hours to eat made me at times feel famished.  Again, this faded with time.

The reason I came off this diet is because I don't think it's really healthy to bombard the system with fat, carbs, and protein all at once.  After the meal I would just want to sleep and do nothing else.  I may go to an easier intermittent fast, like having an 8 hour window.

Some of the gyms in my area require you to sign up for a time slot.  You can do it over the phone or online.  This works pretty well for me, they are only allowing 10-15 people inside the gym at a time and most of the time people don't show up for their slot so it's empty.  I just went back to the gym after training at home since March.  Feels good to have more options, but i do try to avoid all the mouth breathers walking all over the gym.

They have 2-3 people who walk around constantly cleaning equipment and such.  The saunas and pool areas and closed.  No group exercise classes inside, but they are allowing them out in the parking lot if you are distanced and wear a mask.

One of Europe's leading neurologists, Dr. Margareta Griesz-Brisson, MD, PhD, has opinion that masks are dangerous and should not be mandated. Her interview was censored and removed from YouTube.

She is one of thousands of doctors and scientists from around the world who have strongly disagreed with the measures taken by the World Health Organization to combat COVID-19.

Dr. Brisson says it is the re-breathing of carbon dioxide and the resulting (imperceptible) oxygen deficiency that is the reason wearing a mask is so dangerous.

Re-breathing exhaled air creates oxygen deficiency and elevates carbon dioxide to neurologically-damaging levels. The human brain is very sensitive to oxygen deprivation. Our nerve cells for instance in the hippocampus cannot go longer than three minutes without oxygen without some level of degradation. The symptoms of oxygen deficiency are headaches, drowsiness, dizziness and a slowdown in ability to concentrate.

Wearing a mask produces a carbon dioxide anesthesia that over time, debilitates brain function. Oxygen deprivation is dangerous to the brain and can lead to delayed-onset neurodegenerative diseases. For example, if today you forget your phone number, the break-down in your brain already started 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Wearing a mask may set the stage for many people to develop brain diseases who would have otherwise never developed such cognitive decline.

Re-breathing one's exhaled air begins a degenerative process in the brain where oxygen deprivation causes the brain's nerve cells to no longer divide. They cannot be regenerated. What is gone is gone.

The common mask does not protect one from the virus. It is the equivalent of trying to stop a mosquito from passing through a chain-link fence. 

Children are particularly susceptible to the above effects and should therefore never wear a mask.

BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT WEAR A MASK OR IF YOU MUST (PER LAW), THEN COVER JUST YOUR MOUTH LEAVING YOUR NOSTRILS FREE TO BREATHE UNCOVERED.

It's about time!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump Slams "Idiot" Dr. Fauci: "Every Time He Goes On TV It's A Bomb...But There's A Bigger Bomb If You Fire Him"

During a conference call with campaign staff that White House reporters were bizarrely allowed to listen in on, President Trump complained that "there's a bomb" every time Dr. Anthony Fauci goes on television, which is most days.

This is far from the first time President Trump has complained about the good doctor. But it might be the first time he's offered some direct commentary on exactly why he won't fire Dr. Fauci, even as Trump seems to have moved on with a new COVID-19 advisor, Dr. Scott Atlas, who has faced persecution by Big Tech for his views on how to approach COVID-19.

Though he conceded that the good doctor is "a nice guy" who has "been around for 500 years", Trump said the problem with Dr. Fauci is that every time he goes on TV "there's a bomb", yet if you fire him, "there's an even bigger bomb".

"People are saying whatever...just leave us alone. People are tired of COVID...People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong...every time he goes on television there's always a bomb, but there's a bigger bomb if you fire him. This guy's a disaster."

With less than 3 weeks to go before election day, Trump also asserted that the American people are moving on from COVID-19 as cases rebound, while hospitalizations are also starting to creep higher. However, so far at least, deaths have been mostly subdued.

Confirming that he was speaking mostly off the cuff, Trump added after that if there was a reporter on the call (he didn't seem to realize that multiple WH reporters were apparently listening) they could report it "just how I said it."

"If there's a reporter on you can have it just the way I said it, I couldn't care less," Trump said.

According to the NYT, Trump's campaign manager had organized the call to discuss strategy, before Trump pivoted to Dr. Fauci, an issue that was clearly on his mind following the doctor'scriticisms of Trump's campaign ads last week.

The NYT also brought up an interview with Dr. Fauci on '60 Minutes' last night where the doctor refuted Trump's claims that the end of the outbreak is just around the corner.

Trump also reportedly called an NYT article claiming Trump was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with some of his aides - which followed Trump hinting that he might not bring back AG Bill Barr if elected for a second term due to his inability to charge any of the FBI officials involved with Operation Crossfire Hurricane despite the mountain of evidence suggesting some skulduggery was afoot as the FBI tried to put together an "insurance policy" to protect the nation from Trump.

Make sure you cover your face,

live your life through celebrity, post their pictures, note and mourn their deaths, discuss their interviews and movies, reference them always, find solace in reminiscing about what you watched years ago on a tv set, fund them through cable and Netflix,

follow corporate sports and take their games seriously,

denigrate the White race and "whiteness", mock Christianity, mock Southerners, mock Midwesterners, 

and you will be one of the obedient good people.

Do anything to the contrary and you are a racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe...(and even some other control-words that corporations have yet to make up)....and therefore bad.

A possible game changer to tackle and prevent coronavirus with a nasal spray solution that has an ingredient that’s found in commonly used Xclear, which alleviates congestion.

“The nasal spray is available in the market. It has been in the market for about 20 years," Ferrer said. "My group and I have done research on it, and it shows that it is helping people with chronic virus sinus issues."


Ferrer and researchers in Utah and Geneva have completed successful in vitro testing to combat COVID-19.

Now, the results from those clinical trials are being sent to the FDA for approval.

“Our hope that with the research is it will prove that it’s safe and effective," Ferrer said. "It actually decreases the symptoms as we have observed in a small controlled group of patients of people that we have tested.”

Fauci’s lies cost Trump the Presidency and the media played along
Flopping Aces ^ | 12/28/20 | DrJohn
Posted on 12/28/2020, 5:35:41 PM by Starman417

See the source image

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently admitted that he lied about COVID 19. Specifically, he lied about herd immunity and PPE.

We'll come back to that shortly.

In an interview with Bob Woodward Trump acknowledged how dangerous the Wuhan virus was

The president said the coronavirus was "more deadly" than "even your strenuous flus," and difficult to address because "it goes through air."
He also admitted downplaying its severity- for a reason
"I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic,"
He didn't want to create a panic or a run on PPE. Remember that.
For this, he was excoriated endlessly

In his twisted, narcissistic mind, Trump no doubt believes this admission casts him in a positive light. Here’s the concerned national patriarch risking his own credibility to keep Americans from freaking out and doing who knows what. Maybe making a run on the grocery stores, canceling vacations and pulling kids out of school? Well, good thing that didn’t happen. Oh, wait — it did.
And more
He would have supported the sensible recommendations of his own health experts, rather than repeatedly trying to muzzle and sideline them while pushing unproven miracle cures. He would have donned a face mask the minute researchers made it clear that wearing one would protect people from infection.
Face masks? The recommendations of his own experts? This expert?
"Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks," Fauci said during the interview. "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask."
Back to Fauci. Fauci admitted he lied about the Wuhan virus- more than once.   He lied about herd immunity:
In a Christmas Eve interview with the New York Times, Fauci acknowledged he had offered a lower estimate of the level of herd immunity necessary to stop the COVID-19 pandemic because he thought Americans would be discouraged by hearing his true thoughts on the issue.
He recently raised his estimate on the herd immunity threshold "partly based on new science," the newspaper reported, "and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks."

He told us what he thought we wanted to hear- and for the sake of polls

IF - we accept that an event like this causes mass infection

Then what's the logic of proceeding to distribute the 'infected' people around the globe as 'punishment'..?..?


"Australia's immigration minister has said that backpackers and other foreign visitors caught flouting public health restrictions could be deported.

Alex Hawke said he was shocked by scenes from Sydney's Bronte Beach on Christmas Day.

Videos of the gathering shared on social media showed hordes of young revellers singing and dancing in breach of coronavirus regulations.

Some eyewitnesses said many of those present were British"

Yes, thats right 388

Oh and our precious NHS workers who are working their fingers to the bone on 30th Sept 78,4000 of them threw a sick day from work.

United Kingdom Covid Cases Overview

United Kingdom
Total cases 2.74M
Deaths 74,679

Im not making it up, those are the figures on the Gov.uk website people under 60 who had no comorbidities

You have more chance of drowning in the UK if you are under 60 and healthy

And the 74k is people who died "with covid" not "from covid"

Teachers Unions Must Never Be Allowed To Ban Kids From An Education Again
The Federalist ^ | December 30, 2020 | Daniel Buck
Posted on 12/30/2020, 12:38:03 PM




As an adult who teaches, I got to choose an open school. Union politics have now barred millions of families from a similar privilege.

I don’t blame schools for closing in March. Very little was known about COVID-19 then, so closures seemed the safest decision amid the uncertainty.

Neither do I blame schools for a meager showing that semester. My own district threw together online curricula and instructional materials practically overnight. The results were dismal, but it’s the best many could have done given the situation.

However, we’ve now had nine months to understand this virus, and all the evidence favors returning to in-person instruction. Studies have found that schools are not in fact the “super spreaders” many feared. Dr. Anthony Fauci himself has said to “close the bars and keep the schools open.”

Perhaps some schools in hot-spots ought to close, but they should do so for genuine safety concerns, not fear of consequences at the next election. Citing the social, emotional, and academic benefits of in-person learning, The American Association of Pediatrics “strongly advocates” for open schools everywhere possible.

Nonetheless, the majority of our nation’s children have spent the last nine months staring at a computer screen at home, clicking through homework links or simply opting to not show up. One institution bears significant guilt for this state of affairs: teacher’s unions.

Cato Institute researcher Corey DeAngelis crunched the numbers and confirmed what many suspected: school closures had more to do with union power than pandemic concerns. When he reviewed the decisions that various districts and schools made to open or close, he found that the data correlated more closely with the strength of policies favorable to unions than to case counts and deaths.

The politics get more ludicrous. Unions have protested when school officials set open dates. While discussing school openings, the Los Angeles teachers union also demanded a wealth tax and Medicare for All. A number of unions banded together with the Socialists of America on a resolution to “demand safe schools,” only to eschew discussions of safe openings to instead decry charter schools and suggest cancellation of rent.

At the end of last semester, I decided to change districts to one that would open. Some of my students have had to quarantine. However, with masks, social distancing, and hand sanitizer, we’ve had no local spread; we’ve traced our positive cases to external exposures. We’ve had no disastrous outbreak.

Rather, we have spent our year so far discussing books, playing vocabulary games, running football plays at recess, learning subjects and predicates, decorating my room with Christmas lights, and doing everything a school ought to do: promoting socialization, academic development, and mental health.

As an adult, I got to choose an open school. Union politics have now barred millions of families from a similar privilege.

The academic losses are severe. In June, The New York Times reported months’ worth of learning losses because of school closures. Fewer than half of students showed up during that first semester online. While attendance has improved the learning loss continues, especially among poor and minority students.

After a critical response, the Chicago Teachers Union deleted a tweet insinuating that the push to open schools comes from “racism, sexism, and misogyny.” Considering who these learning losses affect most, it’s quite the opposite.

If enrollment numbers are any determinant of public opinion, then school openings appear wildly popular. The superintendent of Boston Catholic Schools reported an increase of 4,000 students after they made their announcement to open. Other districts have seen similar trends. Families are voting with their feet, many opting out of public education for any in-person schooling available.

If nothing else, this situation is a clear example of both union power and their disregard for student concerns. Families, teachers, and taxpayers cannot truly influence school decisions when union members have the power to strike, undue influence in local elections, and the purse of their national affiliates.

The American Federation of Teachers gave more in political donations than the boogie-man Koch Industries did in 2020. Teachers unions have long been a dominant force in local and national politics, both in funding and manpower.

While the worst of the pandemic closures seem nigh over, there’s a clear policy moving forward that can protect students from similar sways of union fickleness: school choice. Zipcodes locked students into closed schools during the pandemic, and only those with means could look elsewhere.

A few others chose “pandemic pods” but even that forces the opportunity cost of staying home from a job. They should have had the freedom to look elsewhere without legal consequences, but our current laws kept them from doing so.

It’s time to continue legislative victories that weaken the sway of government unions over American education. The Supreme Court decision Janus v. AFSCME ensured that no public school teachers need to pay union dues if they do not want to. Local laws in many states increased austerity measures to ensure they don’t follow Detroit’s lead and bankrupt themselves from over-promised, union-bargained pensions. School choice would similarly allow any family to select a school that is less beholden to union pressure.

Unions do not care for students. The pandemic has made this abundantly clear. They’ve lost prestige in many people’s minds from this. It’s right that they continue to lose political power too.

Did I say you were fabricating those figures? Also, I don't see where I used the words from or with in my reply. The article didn't differentiate between the two. However when you change the word 'from' to 'with' in google and the exact same article comes up....with the exact same numbers.

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&hs=jK8&sxsrf=ALeKk004LPhGRfA7VG8x6j_tOY3Kw-FKCQ%3A1609288492294&ei=LMvrX4y9EYnc-gSdubSoCw&q=how+many+people+in+the+UK+have+died+with+covid%3F&oq=how+many+people+in+the+UK+have+died+with+covid%3F&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzoECAAQR1CxhRBY2IsQYLWXEGgAcAN4AIABUIgBqAKSAQE0mAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesgBB8ABAQ&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwiMg7LnuvTtAhUJrp4KHZ0cDbUQ4dUDCAw&uact=5

The Daily Mail which which reported the stats you provided uses the word 'of' covid

388 people aged under 60 with 'NO underlying health conditions' have died of Covid in England's hospitals.


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9090847/Only-377-people-aged-60-no-underlying-health-conditions-died-Covid-UK.html

Yes, "of" covid means you died from covid alone, "with" covid means various things, it can mean you tested positive but died of cancer or dementia or a multitude of other causes.
They have even used the word "with" covid even if the person who has died hasn't even had a test.

The figures have been vastly inflated, and thats in every single country in Europe.
Title: Re: Coronavirus - We are all screwed - discuss
Post by: joswift on December 30, 2020, 11:58:53 AM
The Daily Mail is rated as having a 'right' bias. The Daily Mail figures concur with yours. The Daily Mail used the term 'of' and not 'with'. In my original post, I used the term 'from'. While I don't disagree with your definition of these words, I believe they are often used interchangeably or without giving them the finite meaning that you do.

Regardless of whether people died from, of or with Covid, I did not disagree with your figures. I was simply surprised that such an overwhelming majority (like almost all) of the Covid deaths were people over 60. If they'd taken it a step further, and discounted pre-existing conditions, the people under 60 who died of or from Covid would be almost nil. Don't you agree?

Whether or not Covid numbers are inflated is not part of this original conversation or the first post, which was by you.

Its 388 people who have died under 60 from covid alone, without pre-existing conditions.

There are more under 60 that have died with pre-existing conditions.

I think we are basically in agreement but sen to be at cross purposes over the definitions.

The UK uses the term "died within 28 days of a positive diagnosis"

I have an 88 year old friend who is in hospital at the moment with various conditions but not covid as she has had 4 tests whilst in there.

I guarantee if she doesnt pull through she will have Covid mentioned on her death certificate.

The other annoying one is that they talk about the number of positive test results rising, but they never do it as a percentage of tests being carried out - if you're doing a hundred times more tests, of course the number of positives will rise

Those corrected CIR figures are probably tucked away on some website somewhere, but they never seen to surface

The other number that was reported at the beginning but seems to have dropped away, was a figure for those who have recovered - i.e. the good news.  You can see them on the first few pages of this thread (which BTW are quite funny now in hindsight)

Yesterday they said they had 53,000 new cases in the UK
There are 90 testing centres, that means each testing centre would had had to have had at least 96 positive cases every hour of the 6 hours they are open..

This is also funny.  Even though I suspect me and my family had this back at the beginning that's just a guess.  I know personally of only two people that have had this actually confirmed since March - both very obese - both had visits to hospital but have recovered

And even though we've been told that obesity is a risk factor, people talk about putting weight on during lockdown!! 'COVID spread' *sigh*  ::)

“I have been fighting Covid-19 for three weeks” – Dexter Jackson.

2008 Mr. Olympia winner Dexter Jackson has confirmed on his official social media that he has Covid-19.

Dexter has retired from competitive bodybuilding after competing for the last time at the 2020 Olympia Weekend.

The bodybuilding legend that has a record 29 victories said that Covid-19 is no joke.

From having a bad cough to sweating constantly, Dexter has been locked inside his home for three weeks.

With the 2020 Olympia Weekend taking place just about three weeks ago, it seems that Dexter might have got infected during the Olympia Weekend or just afterwards.

With Dexter confirming he is infected; it would not be a surprise if other athletes come forward confirming that they also have Covid-19.

If takes on average 5 days for symptoms to appear, so add another 5 days to those 3 weeks.

That puts his infection date a few days before the Olympia, meaning a good chance he competed whilst infected!

Covid-19 is real, but yes, it is a 1% or less mortality rate.   The older you get, the more it is lethal. Simple as that.   It is like the flu, BUT much worse in quite a lot of people, as it goes into the chest and you have a harder time breating in before you couch out.

Deaths to and including November from all causes in the UK in 2020 = 551,000

Total deaths in the UK in 2018 = 616,000

So unless over 67,000 people have died in December the UK is better off this year than 2018

Yes. I notice it whenever I go out. There are far fewer cars on the road. People in public places wear masks. I wanted to eat breakfast out this morning and guess what? That's not possible right now unless you order take out and eat it in your car. When I go to the doctor, I have to call them when I arrive to see if it is okay to come in. There used to be school buses stopping to pick up and drop off kids though out the day on the street corner in front of my house. Have yet to see one this school year. I am fucking bored shitless and there is nothing I can think of to do anymore that I haven't already done to keep myself occupied.

Let me guess. You are going to tell me it is my own fault and I should just ignore the whole pandemic thing. Easy peasy! Now tell me in detail how to go about doing that.

Israel Plans to Vaccinate Everyone by March. Here’s How.

Title: Re: Covid 19 - We are all screwed - discuss
Post by: Gregzs on January 14, 2021, 09:40:29 PM
Israel Is Vaccinating ‘Everyone’ – Besides These 5 Million People

Israel’s world-beating vaccine rollout is highlighting the inequalities of life under occupation.

Standing before a Boeing Dreamliner as another huge shipment of coronavirus vaccine was unloaded at Ben Gurion airport this week, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu made an audacious pledge.

“We will vaccinate everyone by the end of March, and become the first country in the world to emerge from corona,” he declared, adding that the newly-arrived Pfizer-BioNTech stocks would allow the government to ramp up delivery to a rate of 170,000 shots a day.

But Netanyahu’s promise to vaccinate “everyone” doesn’t extend to nearly 5 million Palestinians living under Israel’s effective control, for whom the prospect of a vaccine remains far off.

While Israel’s world-beating vaccination programme does cover its Arab citizens, and Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem, millions of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and Gaza, are excluded from the rollout. Under the programme, Israeli officials deliver vaccines to Jewish settlers living deep inside the West Bank, but Palestinians living in surrounding towns go without.

Meanwhile, the staggering effectiveness of Israel’s “Operation Back to Life” – enabled by having paid a premium to secure the vaccine early – means nearly three-quarters of Israelis over 60 have already received their first jab, with booster shots already being delivered. The country of 9 million has delivered nearly 24 vaccine doses for every hundred of its citizens – streets ahead, on a per capita basis, of the only other contenders in the global vaccine race: the UAE (14), Bahrain (6), the UK (5) and US (3).

For critics, the stark disparity over vaccines in the region has only highlighted the entrenched discrimination of life under Israeli occupation. Rights groups and Palestinian officials have accused Israel of shirking its legal and moral duty to ensure vaccines are delivered in the occupied territories, amid growing calls – including a petition signed by hundreds of rabbis – to secure vaccines for Palestinians.

“The vaccination campaign is just further exposing this reality where you have a two-tier system – where you treat part of the population you control with rights and protection, and you deny the others,” Saleh Higazi, Amnesty International’s Middle East and north Africa deputy director, told VICE World News.

“This is the point where the institutionalised discrimination shows very clearly. They’re all under Israel’s effective control, but the state values the lives of some over others.”

Amnesty, along with other rights groups and public health experts, says Israel’s obligations under international law are specifically laid out in the Geneva Conventions, which state it has a duty to maintain public health “in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of ... measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics.”

Israeli officials would not comment on the record to VICE World News, but have said that the Palestinian Authority bears the responsibility to meet the healthcare needs of its citizens under the terms of the Oslo Accords, the interim peace agreements signed in the 1990s that granted the Palestinians limited self-governance, although their borders remain effectively controlled by Israel.

“I don’t think that there’s anyone in this country, whatever his or her views might be, that can imagine that I would be taking a vaccine from the Israeli citizen, and, with all the goodwill, give it to our neighbours,” Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein told Sky News, adding that Israel would consider providing excess vaccines to the Palestinians once its own population was inoculated.

"They have to learn how to take care of themselves.”

The Palestinian Authority rejects Israel’s claims it has no responsibility to secure vaccines for the occupied West Bank, or Gaza. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Israel had been “ignoring its duties as an occupation power and committing racial discrimination against the Palestinian people, depriving them of their right to healthcare.”

“The search by the Palestinian leadership to secure the vaccines from various sources doesn’t exempt Israel from its responsibilities towards the Palestinian people in providing the vaccines,” it said.

For its part, the poorly-resourced Palestinian Authority is now attempting to compete in the cut-throat global market for vaccines, seeking them directly from suppliers – it’s reached an agreement with drugmaker AstraZeneca – as well as under the auspices of a World Health Organisation scheme to assist poorer countries.

But the first shipments could be months away, with the Palestinian Authority saying Sunday it did not expect to see the AstraZeneca vaccines until March, by which stage Israel expects to be eyeing the finish line of its national vaccination campaign.

Yara Asi, a teacher in the Department of Health Management and Informatics at the University of Central Florida who has family in the West Bank, said Israel’s attempts to avoid responsibility for the occupied territories during the pandemic was symbolic of the broader crisis engulfing the Palestinians.

Under the status quo, she told VICE World News, the Palestinian Authority “doesn’t control its own borders, its imports, who comes in and out of its country.”

“All of this is under Israel’s control – so to now question whether Israel is the occupying power, and whether they have responsibility, is ... disingenuous.”

When it came to the healthcare of Palestinians, she said, “the Palestinian Authority doesn’t have the capacity, Israel feels it no longer has the responsibility, so what happens is all the holes are patched by humanitarian organisations.”

The dire situation had been allowed to persist for decades, she said, with healthcare “seen as secondary to hard, tangible issues like land.”

“But when it comes down to something like a pandemic, it’s exposed what’s behind this façade. It’s about a population of 5 million that isn’t served by anybody.”

Aside from the legal debate over who bears ultimate responsibility, groups like the influential Rabbis for Human Rights organisation have stressed a moral imperative for Israel to assist the Palestinians, arguing for the religious obligation “not to show indifference as our neighbour suffers, but rather to mobilise and offer help in times of need.”

Meanwhile, Asi and others point out there is also a clear pragmatic reason for Israel to help inoculate their neighbours, given the thousands of Palestinian workers from the West Bank who enter Israel daily.

Even Edelstein, Israel’s Health Minister, acknowledged his government’s clear interest in vaccinating Palestinians, telling Sky News: “We do understand that it's in Israeli interests that there will be less cases on the Palestinian side.

“Many of the Palestinians are working here in Israel. You can't divide the two neatly and say, you know, ‘They can deal with it themselves; it's not our issue.’ It is our issue.”

Dr Medhat Abbas, consultant of international affairs at the ministry of health in Hamas-controlled Gaza, told VICE World News he believed that Israel did have a responsibility to secure vaccines for the Palestinians. “If you put someone in jail, you are responsible for feeding them and treating them,” he said.

But despite this, he had no expectation that Israel would intervene. For many Palestinians, the notion of receiving any assistance from a bitter enemy is absurd.

“Why do you expect Israelis to give vaccines to Palestinians?” he said.

“It’s not the only crime committed against our people by those killers. They are occupying us and depriving us of many things, not only the vaccine. They have deprived us from our lands, from our lives, from medicine, from travelling outside, from our freedom. We expect nothing from these people.”

A possible game changer to tackle and prevent coronavirus with a nasal spray solution that has an ingredient that’s found in commonly used Xclear, which alleviates congestion.

“The nasal spray is available in the market. It has been in the market for about 20 years," Ferrer said. "My group and I have done research on it, and it shows that it is helping people with chronic virus sinus issues."


Ferrer and researchers in Utah and Geneva have completed successful in vitro testing to combat COVID-19.

Now, the results from those clinical trials are being sent to the FDA for approval.

“Our hope that with the research is it will prove that it’s safe and effective," Ferrer said. "It actually decreases the symptoms as we have observed in a small controlled group of patients of people that we have tested.”

Potential Role of Xylitol Plus Grapefruit Seed Extract Nasal Spray Solution in COVID-19: Case Series

Published online 2020 Nov 3

"In summary, the three patients reported in this article, with minimal to moderate risk for morbidity and mortality from COVID-19, demonstrated an improvement in the symptoms and a reduction in the clinical course post use of xylitol plus GSE in the form of a nasal spray, commercially available as Xlear nasal spray, as an adjunct to their ongoing treatment. This combination could play a potential role in improving the outcome in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients."

I pretty much get the flu/cold every year but not this year. Alot of family members feels the same about it.

I think it's because we are more careful and hygienic this year than before. We don't sneeze everywhere, we don't shake people hands like before etc

Masks are pretty good when you use them wisely like in public transport or crowded spaces it helps I think. Sure I'm not a dumbass who's wearing it while walking alone or with very few people around

Israel Covid rate down 96% among those who received both Pfizer shots

The rate of Covid-19 infections dropped 95.8 per cent among people who received both shots of Pfizer’s vaccine, Israel’s health ministry said on Saturday.

The vaccine was also 98 per cent effective in preventing infections that caused fever or breathing problems and 98.9 per cent effective in preventing hospitalisations and death, the ministry said.

The findings were based on national data collected on February 13th from Israelis who had received their second shot at least two weeks previously. According to the health ministry’s website, about 1.7 million people had been administered a second shot by January 30th, making them eligible to be included.

Previous reports from individual healthcare providers also showed positive results, spurring Israel to remove restrictions on the economy after weeks of lockdown. On Sunday, schools and many stores will be allowed to reopen.

The health ministry has also rolled out a “green pass” app, linked to personal medical files, which people who have been fully inoculated or deemed immune after recovering from Covid-19 can show to stay at hotels or attend cultural or sporting events.

At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.


“By this PHE definition, no one with COVID in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness. A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a COVID death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later.”

One of the things that made me grind my teeth with this thing - talking about the UK here - is even the BBC used the terms below seemingly interchangeably

Died of COVID
Died with COVID
Died from COVID related symptoms
Died following a positive test for COVID (no term specified)

In recent weeks, they seem to have settled on a slightly different version:  "Died within 28 days of a positive test"

But that still does not mean the person died of the f**king thing

AND - that does not match with the PHE guidance that joswift linked to and that you quote above

No wonder people is confuze!  >:( ???

These classifications have no basis in reality. Given the number of asymptomatic cases you can’t know if these people would’ve suffered the exact same fate  in the absence of the positive test.

Didn't think of that angle


I choose to ignore the scamdemic.

Me too - to a point...

I can't be sure, but I think I had the thing last March.  So although I've got a joker style mask I'll use occasionally (mainly to amuse small children and scare old ladies ;D), and I've had the fucboi vaccine so I can travel easily, etc.  both of these things are just to make life easier for me - not to 'protect' me or others (oh brother)

But I've got friends with businesses and careers really taking a kick in the balls over this pathetic BS - they can't ignore it

And I struggle to ignore the way our government and media tries to ram sh1t down our throats about it  >:(

No idea.

My question is that if the numbers are so low (relatively), why are predictions so high?

My government (Canada) is claiming 70% of the population will contact the virus. I think that’s an overreaction.

Strange you’ve changed your opinion.
Title: Re: Coronavirus - am I missing something?
Post by: Dave D on November 28, 2021, 03:18:35 PM
So I understand that this is a very contagious and deadly flu. However, I've seen several government warnings that 30% to 70% of people will contract the virus yet there are only about 170,000 cases worldwide. How do we go from 170,000 to several billion???

Am I missing something?

As a medical professional  why were you so confused?

Also, if the virus didn't spread exponentially why did Italy lock down its citizens in the first place???

Seems like the classic "Vicious Cycle" has now been created.

Each day one politician tries to "one up" the previous politician by passing extremes measures to battle the virus. The new extreme policy causes the public to believe the virus is getting worse. To appease the public the politician then passes yet another extreme measure......

No one is reacting to what the virus is doing anymore.

It’s like you’re a completely different person in less than 2 years.

And going through your posts there is no mention of you being a medical professional for a quarter of a century. That must be a recent reveal.

You’re  the medical  professional asking for help on getbig.  Don’t forget it would be MONTHS before you could schedule the surgery, because of the Canadian health care system, and that was long before the hospitals were overwhelmed with Covid…
