Are you telling me those UV bullets in Underworld wouldn't kill this thing???

At some point we need to remove all the warning labels and allow the social Darwinism to work

There are 2 ways to get a click, which is really the only thing the media cares about now. Write a good article or write an exceedingly bad article. McFooly excels at the latter. He gets people to link his takes here, on other forums, and on social media, resulting in even more clicks. Stop clicking on his articles and the problem will eventually take care of itself.

I think one of the stated reasons in NYC was the need to get the medical professionals and other "essential" employees to their workplace. I'm not familiar enough with either city to say whether their commuting situations are comparable or not though. The 2 cities/states certainly didn't react in the same manner at the same time. Politicians will politic though.

Safest place in the country.

That wasn't even an interview

USS Comfort will leave NYC after treating 179 patients in 3 weeks. NYC says the conversion of the Javits Convention Center into a temporary hospital reduces the need for the medical ship. Turns out the ship wasn't ever really necessary, but it's good to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/press-release-04-21-20-early.aspx California saying they had a Coronavirus death on 2/6, 3 weeks before the previously recorded first US death on 2/28.

I don't blame the hospitals for adjusting quickly, it's to be commended. I simply disagree with drawing too strong a conclusion from this analysis of data that could be seriously flawed.

Any concern that this was simply a retrospective analysis rather than a properly controlled, randomized study? Edit: NM, found it https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.16.20065920v1.full.pdf

Idiots come in many shapes and sizes.

3 years eligibility, right?

In the age of twitter, all nuance and context are lost. Unfortunately it goes both ways and important decisions are being made based on headlines, rather than underlying information, both in this fight and in life before the Rona.

You've gotta be confusing him with another player.

36% in Paris. Also, now that these people are stuck with their partner pretty much 24/7, I'd imagine the percentage that actually report domestic violence is even lower than it is under normal conditions. https://www.euronews.com/2020/03/28/domestic-violence-cases-jump-30-during-lockdown-in-france?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3tgwBwa0oVE90qny89t2pwqhPp3n4o-r4j9w5z5auE-jx7d8DqCV9Riuo#Echobox=1585376018

We're talking about Blubaugh, right?

3 months ago the WHO repeated China's reports that there was no human to human transmission.

Doesn't flattening the curve actually prolong the outbreak? I'm not saying we shouldn't attempt to flatten it, but people saying we will beat this sooner by staying in aren't looking at the same charts as me.

Would the meat packing plant (food production) have been shut down under a stay at home order?

We're gonna take a little breather while everybody calms down and refreshes themselves with the forum guidelines. Nonpolitical conversation can continue here in a few hours.

Stop now
