Do any of you guys remember way back in time, when people coughed and sneezed they put their hand or arm over their mouth? It was pretty effective, especially when it was combined with manners and the desire to not blow your snot all over everyone. But now, caring people don't do that. We wear masks instead and we cough, spit and sneeze inside that mask, all day long.
Coughing into your arm doesn't say look at me, I'm a virtuous, caring person like a mask does.

They happen to quantify how much of that 341% were patients getting procedures that had previously been cancelled? The media always seems to fail to do any real homework before reporting such numbers.

Fox 4 Dallas. They also said the 4 days leading up to the 4th were our deadliest since this began. Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. They are talking “surge plans” now.

Oh yes, surge plans. Sounds really really cool. Do they have a War Room set up yet? So rad! This will make for some truly dramatic Facebook posts. Posturing City. I wish I could be a part of cool shit like that.

I started to make a separate thread for this, thought better of it, so here it is. I don't think this has been posted before, if it has then just delete this. Anyway go ahead and laugh.

who is cashing in on COVIDS-19?

how about Robert DiNiro?

https://www.breitbart.com/ente...ns-worth-28-million/

Nobu, the posh, high-end restaurant and hotel chain — backed by left-wing actor and raging Trump-basher Robert De Niro — took more than a dozen loans from the Trump administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

In DeNiro’s eyes, President Trump is a “mean-spirited, soulless, amoral, abusive con-artist son of a bitch.” But that didn’t stop one of the actor’s prime investments from using the Trump administration’s loan program for cash, a loan program meant to help keep small business wrecked by the Chinese coronavirus financially afloat.

The Nobu chain of luxury restaurants and hotels took 14 loans from the U.S. small business relief program for as much as $28 million, which went toward properties across the country, from California, to Texas, to New York, according to a report by CNBC. Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa — the celebrity chef and owner of the restaurant chain — has a net worth of $200 million. Meanwhile, Robert De Niro — who co-founded it — is worth an estimated $500 million.

Restaurants were among the biggest recipients of PPP loans, which were part of the government’s response to financial difficulties that businesses faced during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. The report added that U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said that the program was not meant to go toward companies that could reasonably tap other forms of capital during the pandemic.

Oh, that's delicious

Australia/Victoria update.

Total cases: 8,586
Deaths: 106
Recovered: 7,420
ICU: 5
Hospitalised: 34
Tested: 2,759, 165

0.3% positive

Age demographics: 20-29 leading the chart

The entire health - and media - focus in Australia, particularly, the state of Victoria now, unsurprisingly, has turned to the number of daily cases now.

Very little about the deaths.

Our wonderful Victoria state Premier (like a Governor) has locked down several suburbs (cities) by postcodes (same as zipcodes).

Here's a map of those lockdowns, inner Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria.



If of interest, I'm located south of postcode 3012, right by Port Phillip Bay.
And not in lockdown.

With the 'sudden' rise of cases after lockdown was lifted, now looking at the prospect of another 4 weeks of state wide lockdown.

Jeesh, yes - with more people tested, there will be more positive cases.

Sigh. Get a grip please.

Aussies are generally very complacent.
The media and political grand standing is tiresome.

Just an opinion ...

MRBTX, thanks for posting that common sense video.

the deadliest virus in America, hell the entire planet, is the liberal main stream media.

Not to be cryptic, but Dr.Kelly Victory is a breath of fresh air in these Chicken Little times.

The issue is that for very video "for" you can find one "against"...all with "experts" inserted.

So this is more expert BS...with their applied "slant".

We can't trust any of them...do what "YOU" need to do to feel safe.

Welcome to the seventh level of Jumanji.

Monkeys steal coronavirus blood samples in India

LUCKNOW, India (Reuters) - A troop of monkeys in India attacked a medical official and snatched away blood samples of patients who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, authorities said on Friday.

The attack occurred this week when a laboratory technician was walking in the campus of a state-run medical college in Meerut, 460 km (285 miles) north of Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh state.

“Monkeys grabbed and fled with the blood samples of four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment ... we had to take their blood samples again,” said Dr S. K. Garg, a top official at the college.

Authorities said they were not clear if the monkeys had spilled the blood samples, but people living near the leafy campus feared further spread of the virus if the monkeys carried the samples into residential areas.

Garg said it was not clear if the monkeys could contract the coronavirus if they came into contact with infected blood.

“No evidence has been found that monkeys can contract the infection,” Garg told Reuters.

The virus is believed to have jumped from animals into people in a wildlife market in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.

India has had 165,799 cases of the coronavirus and 4,706 deaths.

Monkeys have been increasingly straying into human settlements in India and causing disturbances, even attacking people. Environmentalists say the destruction of natural habitat is the main reason the animals move into urban areas in search of food.

monkeys...ok

Again? They just did that like a month ago. You'd think they would have monkey proofed their shit by now.

Hey, hey, they're the monkeys
You never know where they'll be found

No, the main reason they move into urban areas and attack people is because animals who used to fear humans (for good reasons) no longer do so.
