OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Crap! I feel sooooo gullible.

 

"Fighting alone
I’m a GOP governor. Why didn’t Trump help my state with coronavirus testing?"

Some real truths there from a Republican republicans should not be ashamed of.

'Then, the jarring part: Trump said he really didn’t like dealing with President Moon from South Korea. The South Koreans were “terrible people,” he said, and he didn’t know why the United States had been protecting them all these years. “They don’t pay us,” Trump complained.'

'Trump soon disabused us of that expectation. On April 6, he declared that testing wasn’t Washington’s responsibility after all. “States can do their own testing,” he said. “We’re the federal government. We’re not supposed to stand on street corners doing testing.”'

I hope one day we hold these Benedict Donalds responsible and they pay for their sins.

 

no shit. but 1% is still a lot of deaths.

 

to be fair, that article is more than a month old and things have changed a little:



in deaths/million, Sweden is 7th at 552, the US is 9th at 424

however, in terms of revealed infection rate, Sweden is doing much better:



now, typical of right-wing distraction, ABM tried to imply that difference was due to mask-wearing. Context is unnecessary in a right-wing talking point

but in this case, some context is revealing:

* Sweden has a national mandate of social distancing in public places. They have national recommendations of social distancing elsewhere and stay-at home policies. The US really has none of those

* Sweden does not have about 25% of their population under the rule of right-wing governors busy making horrible decisions

* large sections of the Swedish people and lawmakers are not at war with science

* Sweden does not have 1/3 of their citizens as minority populations poorly served by the health care system while disadvantaged by decades long entrenched bias

* Sweden has a robust national program of Covid contact tracing so they can tamp down hot spots. The US has a robust national program of massive confusion, ignoring science, and hiding data

but of course, all those factors need to be ignored if you are trying to pin it all on mask-wearing

 

This is making the rounds on Facebook today. Fairly eye-popping take:

 

Stats, stats, and more stats. We can all believe what we want....and most often times do. Go ahead and trust your own sites, draw your own conclusion, and be content in that. Enjoy.

Fast-food workers strike, alleging inadequate coronavirus protection in the workplace

One Burger King staffer died of the virus after managers ignored her symptoms.

 

WHERE A MASK BRO!!

 

Oh, and mask-heavy Japan ain't immune to the stuff...

This is verbatim what I posted here 4 months ago when people were arguing the severity.

 

fuck outta here. This is your response when FACTS are staring right at you? I really hope hospitals aren't spending their limited resources on your ignorant ass.

 

Nobody is immune to the stuff. But Japan is showing a 3 month high of 622 cases, that says. 3 month high of 622!
Idaho just hit a high of 727 in one day.
Japan has 126 million people. Japan has a population density of 899 people per square mile.
Idaho has 1.8 million people. Idaho has a population density of 19.8 people per square mile.

These two places should not have the same number of cases.

But yeah, stats, stats, stats...

 

no use explaining basics.

 

Funny boy. Wear your mask and be good.

As Miami becomes US coronavirus epicenter, nearly 100 cops test positive

The city said 155 officers had been placed under quarantine as of Thursday.

 

Wear your mask.

 

If you or your family members got the coronavirus, would you expect health care at the hospital? Because, if so, you have more responsibility to society than snide deflections of facts that you don't like.

 

It won't be 1% either.

 

Not especially. I'm a bit more enthusiastic about Dr. Procter's strategies. I'll be keeping an eye on that.
