I would say that once this thing blows over and the facts come out.

trump would be defeated by a turd squeezed out by Killary.

snake oil salesman done got fucked up.

everyone else is to blame, he was perfect. He’s been impeached once, is it possible to be impeached again in a one term cycle?
Be fun to watch.
First time watcher, long time listener. I would rather he just get carted off than another impeachment. Hopefully someone will just take him out. I don't mean a cup of tea or literally...just stick him to a chair so he can't get up.


Hey, what happened to his press announcer bird with the pearls?

interesting
well that will skew numbers further if true

somebody dies with some condition and it is listed under whatever virus they may be carrying regardless of severity of the virus

I don't doubt the virus, I do doubt some of the numbers we will be seeing

daily death rate from all causes combined are still fairly constant

according to the country meters site
The idea is that in some cases, the rona is bad enough to induce other issues. It happens with a lot of illnesses.

Splinty @Splinty explained this the other day. It's standard SOP.

Wait until people realize that we are probably undercounting deaths in large urban centers by double digit percents. When those numbers get tallied up, people will double down about manipulation because that's how fake news and cognitive dissonance works.

10 times as many New Yorkers were found dead at home in the last week as usual (200+ a day instead of 20 a day). That has never happend before. Some significant portion of those are going to be coronavirus. When they get tested, they will likely be joined in more comprehensive datasets en masse for stat review.

You are clouded by politics. Politicians across the board have failed. Not a left or right issue. I hope your dreams come true, but I believe it wouldn't have mattered. Even with a Sanders at the helm we would've been fucked.

Nah. I don't have a dog in the fight.

Just can't stand liars.

Honestly. It's my weakness. Like Marty Mcfly being called a chicken.

I watched his last presser. He said I'm cutting funding to WHO.

Then five minutes later he said he didn't say that.

It's insane.

It's on tape.

That was just today lol.

I just don't get how dumb Americans really are I guess.

BUT

that ignores that there is more people infected that are never going to be tested because they'll have minor or no symptoms at all.

of course more people are dying at home

nobody wants to go to a hospital right now...and they are all locked inside their homes scared as shit

did some that died at home die from covid? probably
did some just die because their time came and they happened to be at home? I think so

Main reason I see people die from flu in my hospital? Heart attack or pneumonia.

If someone gets the flu, runs a fever for 5 days that keeps their heart tachycardic at 100+, they get a pneumonia that sends them into sepsis, then suddenly they have a big STEMI and die, the death record is filled out with proximal causes of death.

Influenza - > Pneumonia -> Sepsis -> Myocardial Infarction

And rightfully so. If that guy weren't put on a multiday infectious stress test he'd still be alive. It's poor statistics and epidemiology to class that guys secondary heart attack the same as the guy walking around that suddenly had a widow maker.

I used to donate blood regularly. I think I was somewhere around 3 gallons. The Red Cross would call me often. Then I hooked up with my wife. Her dad worked for the State Department and she lived in Niger and the Central African Republic in the 80s. I’m automatically disqualified from donating anymore.

Same.

I'm a fan of Trump like how I'm a fan of Joe Exotic. But to watch people trying to make political hay in the manor they are is gross.
Everybody needs a scape-goat. I also hated it when people would blame to Obama while not really being in control of a specific event. It's when the over-politicized crowd comes out on droves. Seeing everything through political lenses.

Why are you? Something to do with being a pilot?
I don't know if they'll look at the gigantic tattoo I got done in Thailand a few months ago or not but I'll be there Thursday anyway.
