General Corona virus updates

[Papi Chingon]

If the hype is all a hoax, why is the Trump administration spending so much time and money on press conferences and round tables to address the issue?

$7,500,000,000 being allocated... sounds like a hoax.

First of all, take the president into context (which you will never do). He never said the virus was a hoax. He said the politics the dems were playing were a hoax, and they are. The virus didnt start here, and no one, no country took this as seriousely as trump did. He took extreme heat from it, again with dems playing politics - hes racist! You cant stop the chinese from entering the country! Racist! This is the Trump virus.

Trump requested 2.5b (based on requests and conversations with the best infectious disease experts and doctors), dems flipped out, demanded 9b. Just throw money at the problem (ie. Let our cronies get rich) and that will solve the issue. Remember ebola? Obama threw money at that problem, assigned a tzar, and guess what? It's still alive and well.

You never got back to me on that bet...

Couldn't you find any given opinion on any given search? These aRe a dime a dozen on either side of the fence you stand on.

You are being a bit overboard in my opinion with your panic. Everyone else doesn't agree with you nor is everyone panicking the level you are. I stated 500 US deaths and that hasn't happened but you still provide a video with some dork saying what we don't know.

And you're changing the bet already, talking about 2000 people. I'm talking you or me since it's you and me debating on the appropriate level of panic this should allow.

I told them I bought a knitting set. They laughed. Who's laughing now motherfuckers?









Everyone, still.

So, sick since 25th, had it for hmm....let's say 2 weeks.
Delivered 5000 packages.
Those recipients opened them in front of their families, who went to work & school.

Some items were probably safety oriented, possibly re-sold.
It doesn't matter.

The PNW is 3 weeks from lockdowns.

Most amazon employees in Seattle probably aren’t delivery folk?

LOL @ Bernie saying cuts are a bad thing.

Our gov't is a bloated bureaucracy of monetary waste. Those cuts only scrape the surface of the shit that should be scaled back.

The US Gov't collects about $4,600,000,000,000 in income/payroll taxes each year and what do we have to show for it?

Get rid of all these fucking clowns.

all you care about is that Trump is wrong and made an ass outta himself, you don't give two shits about how much funding we get.

very typical Dem thing to say (don't give two shits about the country when they act like they're the only one... just wants to see Trump fall)

I'm not suggesting we don't have bloat, of course we have bloat. But to donate a 100k check while cutting 100's of millions from those same agencies is a bit silly IMHO.

The donation is symbollic.
The cuts were made a while ago.

Trump should have said...
"You guys were wasting the fuck out of taxpayer money so you got a haircut. You need to spend the people's money wisely. But personally, I care about the situation and would like to donate 100k to the cause. Please don't buy a golden toilet seat with my money."

I'm not one to die on hills that I know are not sure. Sometimes we believe things without doing the research and I see that on both sides. However, I did find the following, which I'm sure someone will poke holes all over but I've considered the site reasonable on most things I've found on it:

Democrats' Misleading Coronavirus Claims

Interesting...

“We can get money and we can increase staff,” Trump said. “We know all the good people. It’s a question I asked the doctors before. Some of the people we cut, they haven’t been used for many, many years. And if — if we have a need, we can get them very quickly. And rather than spending the money — and I’m a business person — I don’t like having thousands of people around when you don’t need them. When we need them, we can get them back very quickly.”

So it sounds like the CDC had staff on retainer basically just cashing a free check from the government even though they were rarely, if ever, used. That's the definition of bloat and unnecessary spending.

Also not shocked to see politicians making false claims to attack their opponents. That's common practice. Why tell the truth when a lie works even better?

Just leave them in their cells.

I should run for president. I have ALL the answers.

What on earth could go wrong?

 

[Deleted member 1]

For those that think the virus is far more spread than testing indicates (there is reason to believe you're right) do you also hold that the virus is less deadly than you're calculating? That would seem to go together since death rate = deaths: positive tests and not a ratio involving total infection.

As has been highlighted in the news, there seems to be some variation in test accuracy and testing strategies. But surely if we believe the outbreak is larger, then we must also consider that it is less deadly.

Coronavirus: Belgium reaches 23 confirmed cases

Bah. They better not quarantine or lock the borders

Good. CDC doesn't need more funding as it is utterly useless and corrupt. The CDC is the idea of safety and oversight, not the actual thing. Just look at how they fumble again and again.

At this point, you can't feel bad for them. So many self-inflicted wounds... and the Iranian people pay for it.

 

[Shinkicker]

And if they do panic, and they aren't in my neighborhood.....

That seems pretty benign to me.

I'm here to eat my words. I had a patient on droplet precautions Monday and ran out of masks. I went to the stock cabinet to get a new box and found a note taped to an empty shelf. It read, "please see charge nurse or supervisor for masks."

Apparently cases of masks went missing over the weekend.
