I'm ok when the Pres calls it the Chinese Virus. It kind of fits, as an hour after you recover you're reinfected. (I can get away with that one, being half Chinese!  ) | |||

Does Chris Cuomo really have the Coronavirus or does he just want to be in the running for a participation trophy? Seems pretty talkative for someone with a respiratory virus. No life lost is acceptable, therefore we should just close down the economy and restrict travel. The hospitals are empty, except for those with the Chinese virus. Car accidents have nearly been eliminated. The number of lives saved is astronomical. Maybe we all should just sit home and have the government send money each month. Just imagine the number of lives we would be saving. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres.

Well, it's cold comfort, but maybe their being so utterly full of shit will catch up with them. Remember how they tried to offset the fact that the virus (by all indicators) originated in Wuhan, China by donating masks and other equipment to a number of countries? Turns out the masks are defective. What does Xi have to say in response? "Those masks aren't defective - you just need to go back and read the instructions again to determine whether or not you have the right type of mask and are using it properly!" Right. The government of the Netherlands didn't know what it was doing when it recalled 600,000 of the 1.3 million Chinese masks it received. The government of Spain didn't know what it was doing when it found that 60,000 of the 340,000 test kits that it bought from China did not accurately test for Kung Flu. No, they needed the Premier of the People's Republic of China to tell them to read the instructions. Chinese Government Rejects Allegations That Its Face Masks Were Defective, Tells Countries To 'Double Check' Instructions David Choi, Buisness Insider 4/2/2020 http://www.yahoo.com/news/chin...-face-192334486.html At some point in this crisis China will have been so full of it so many times that no one will even pretend to believe China's claim that the Kung Flu didn't originate in China. | |||

I'm not half Chinese and I have zero problems calling it Chinese/Wuhan Virus. As Trump said it's where it came from. I refuse to follow the MSM/CCP propaganda. I can't believe they hate the President so much they are willing to carry water for our enemies. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

The name of the disease that is killing people is COVID-19 The name of the Wuhan virus is SARS-CoV-2. No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

^^^^^ It's not just these types of meds, I went to refill my Asthma Rx today and they were out and didn't know if they would be geting any in on Monday. They told me people are filling one month under their insurance and paying cash for another month. My MD and I expected this so he called in two types, my normal and a more expensive type. I got the more $$$$ version. __________________________ | |||

This is a common policy for any large company. They all want to have control of the narrative and violation is typically grounds for dismissal. Recent hires must agree to such. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

Z-PAK and hydroxychloroquine has been reported by numerous physicians as being effective if given early enough. Is it 100% effective? No. Nothing ever is though. | |||

I wish I knew how people manage to embed the Worldometer graphs. While the daily numbers of new infections haven't dropped as much as I hoped, a pattern becomes visible: about three days of much shorter bars due to weekend lag followed by an uptick again as previously unreported cases are added, but not so high as the previous peak. Combined with the increase in national ICU capacity, there is general optimism now that we will cope, even as the German CFR has gone up considerably over the last days. I fully expect it to temporarily reach three percent or so at one point like currently in Switzerland, which is my new watchcase now after Italy and Spain (France, the UK and Netherlands already being firmly in the "trouble" camp; France is moving patients out of the Paris area by repurposed high-speed trains as local capacities are overwhelmed despite nearly doubling the original number of ICU beds). US - 7,403 : 277,522 = 2.7 % Italy - 14,681 : 119,827 = 12.3 % Spain - 11,198 : 119,199 = 9.4 % Germany - 1,275 : 91,159 = 1.4 % France - 6,507 : 82,165 = 7.9 % UK - 3,605 : 38,168 = 9.4 % Turkey - 425 : 20,921 = 2.0 % Switzerland - 604 : 19,702 = 3.1 % Belgium - 1,143 : 16,770 = 6.8 % Netherlands - 1,487 : 15,723 = 9.5 % Canada - 208 : 12,549 = 1.7 % Austria - 168 : 11,589 = 1.4 % South Korea - 177 : 10,156 = 1.7 % [Portugal, Brazil, Israel] Sweden - 358 : 6,131 = 5.8 % | |||

Interesting read here: https://www.usatoday.com/story...d-column/2898324001/ Basically says its to late to contain COVID so let’s get back to life and deal with it. As soon as we end shelter in place the virus comes back. We are quickly approaching the point of no return for the economy for many millions of people. Time to improve the healthcare system at the state level and get healthier as a society.This message has been edited. Last edited by: liner, | |||

Good news?? On Friday Dr. Deborah Birx, the U.S. coronavirus response coordinator, praised California and Washington state for their social distancing efforts, claiming that they may have already slowed the spread of the virus and should serve as models for the rest of the nation. “We really do appreciate the work of the citizens of California and Washington state, because we do see that their curve is different,” Birx said at the daily White House briefing. “Their curve is different from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — and we really believe that the work that every citizen is doing in those states is making a difference.” Nationally, the numbers have been devastating. More than 273,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases across the United States, with a staggering 100,000 in New York alone. A death toll — roughly 7,000 at last count — that has already doubled 9/11’s. And grim new estimates from the Trump administration that predict the deadly pathogen could eventually kill between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans — assuming the U.S. does everything right. Yet in recent days, a few bright spots have started to flicker amid the statistical gloom. They come from various sources: internet-connected thermometers; smartphone GPS data; a study by private researchers in Bellevue, Wash.; state-by-state projections from the University of Washington; reports from hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area. All of this new information points to the same hopeful, if tentative, conclusion. In areas of America that caught the coronavirus early in its trajectory — and quickly implemented the sort of strict, sweeping social distancing measures recommended by public health officials — the curve may be starting to bend. The virus may be starting to spread more slowly. Staying home may be starting to work. And as Birx has been telling the public all week, the two states to watch are Washington and California. For now, only 8 percent of COVID-19 tests there are coming back positive — compared to 35 percent in New York and New Jersey, 26 percent in Louisiana and 15 percent in Michigan, Connecticut, Indiana, Georgia and Illinois. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
