    After reviewing how totally ignorant Trump is, Chris Hayes suggested he take a month off to play golf and let someone competent run things.

    Except that mortality rate is based on confirmed cases, and there's asymptomatic carriers and people with light symptoms that have the disease but will never be confirmed. Ive rrad that the mortality rate is predicted to be 0.7%...

    The mortality rate is much lower for young, healthy people.

    So essentially, dont go to a game if your sick, or if your at higher risk for health complications due to the virus. People will be smart or stupid regardless of if theres a crowd at sporting events.

    No, he said he wouldn't vote for either. I won't be voting for either as well.

    Washington county with nine coronavirus deaths urges ALL its 2.2MILLION residents to work from home, pulls 22,000 students from school and tells everyone over 60 to stay indoors - while state officials warn primary voters not to lick ballots

    • They also recommended that higher-risk groups - including people over 60 and who have underlying health issues - to stay home and away from large social gatherings

    Shit like this is not helping things;

    https://factcheck.afp.com/coronavirus-hoax-spreads-online-after-rush-limbaugh-broadcast


    Coronavirus hoax spreads online after Rush Limbaugh broadcast
    Louis Baudoin-Laarman, AFP USA said of the novel coronavirus on his show on February 24, 2020. Limbaugh was decrying the virus “being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump.”


    Conservative US radio host Rush Limbaugh compared the novel coronavirus to “a common cold," prompting debate over the virus’ lethality. This is misleading; the strain discovered in late 2019 differs from and is more deadly than the human coronaviruses that can cause a cold, health experts say.
    “I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks,” Limbaugh said of the novel coronavirus on his show on February 24, 2020. Limbaugh was decrying the virus “being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump.”

    A similar theory took hold on social media in the days following Limbaugh’s remark, though without any explicit connection to the radio host. Some Facebook users began to share a photo of an old medical textbook citing the common cold as a possible condition caused by coronaviruses.

    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some of which can cause the common cold.

    However, as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states on its website: “The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.”

    I'd go for that. Only problem is, what would I use for a dialysis team and equipment? Solve that and I'm gone.

    What do you mean, Washington county? I don't believe Washington has a Washington county.

    Rush Limbaugh is a certified idiot. But certified idiots are what Trump believes deserve the Medal of Freedom. After all, Trump is a certified idiot.

    I haven't seen drop off at all at my gym, in fact it seems to be getting busier. There is every nationality you can think of there and its one of the reasons I like the place.
    Is anyone in here changing their daily routine because of CV concerns?
