The Coronavirus Thread...

[yimyammer]

Yeah things are slow for me right now. I had a big vacation planned that got pulled so I'm just sitting at home for like 10/11 days in a row.

We just got a shipment from China. Not sure to trust the shit though LOL.

well, hopefully thats good news & you're not needed at he hospital, sounds like infections aren't out of control in DFW so far

have you heard about that saliva test?

Why hasn’t this been shared all over the planet?

small sample size or possibly good news?

Hey guys, I don’t think it was necessary to shelter in place or “lockdown” the economy.

I think this was a gigantic unforced error.

small sample size or possibly good news?

Sounds about right to me. There still is no data on the actual survival rate or how lethal this virus is. Is it 3% or.5% or even less? There has been a lot of knee jerk occurring simply because of this circumstance being a political toy.

missed a few days along the way but here's an update to what appears to be my useless compilation of Coronavirus stats:

todays count:

 

[yimyammer]

this is a great discussion on the reality that the quarantine is merely delaying the inevitable because until there is a vaccine, we'll continue to be exposed & infected so we really need a nationwide plan of attack to get us all back to work asap with many mitigating actions followed by everyone nationwide and protect the most vulnerable because endless lock downs is too high of a price especially when you consider the fatality rate may be 1/2 of 1% as has been revealed by additional testing (see Gov Cuomo's comments)

Both of those last two guys went on Fox News, so they're to be tarred and feathered.

So ridiculous.

I had forgotten about Chuck Todd.

If I could fight anyone in America, it would be between him and Brian Stelter. Both of them need to get fucked up big time.

Add Jake Tapper to that list.

It amazing how the media is still trying to keep a lid on this country and perpetuate the lockdown. They think the longer they can influence the lockdown the more it will destroy the economy and that will be a dagger to Trumps heart. How utterly shameful this is. The have left reality and now see this as a board game.

I think it shows how powerful urban politics/media vs rural have become, further supporting the importance of preserving the electoral college. There’s a reason why state capitols were built geographically away from the state’s most urban/populous city.

However, with the proliferation of communication technology, that physical separation threatens this urban vs rural political balance, evident with how these quarantine measures, further perpetuated by the media, are pushed into rural areas as if they have population densities of Manhattan.

Like, I’ll be embarrassed to go to a barber shop, but I’m sure I’m not the only one.
