Those oil price dips are a sign of how cratered the economy is. The next big crater will be when a handful of red states see a massive surge in cases and deaths they can’t contain because they reopened theaters

Is Kim Jong about to buy the farm?

His father was il, and now he is, too.

Underrated joke.

Tough crowd.

Lol. My God...
When Trump wins, they need to give Biden his own sitcom where he speaks publicly at emotional events or some shit.

[Jmac Attack]

Lol. Hmmmmm......guess there is some truth to the whole Rushya thing.

Any article that begins with the opening line "A bipartisan investigation" Just oozes with bullshittery.

Georgia governor Kemp might be more of a cunt than it initially seemed. Turns out the reason he’s picking the small businesses to open up and allow business for is such a random mash of nonsense because it’s the businesses that employ the most poor people, the sole aim of which is to restrict unemployment claims so that people can’t claim involuntary unemployment due to shutdown, so that GA doesn’t run out of unemployment money. Rather than fix that problem, he’s just hoping more poor people struggle, suffer, and die.

Even when it feels they hit new lows there’s usually a lower they can sink to.

No right or wrong, here.

Deliberately targeting poor and minority sections of your population to deny them needed welfare seems pretty wrong to me.

That is some reaching, there.

Small businesses make up the backbone of America. They can't be out of business for very long, it's important that they open up soon to save as many jobs as possible. Small businesses are not capable of dishing out unemployment to their employers without any revenue coming in. Unemployment Insurance is entirely funded by the employer's contributions.

Mayors and governors are finally admitting that the infection rate is far higher than indicated. I don't know why it took them over a month to admit this obvious knowledge. The Loss Angeles mayor admitted that up to 55 times more people than the list of confirmed cases in L.A. county have or had coronavirus at some point and didn't even know it. What does this mean? The death rate is drastically lower than the 4.1% gathered when only going by confirmed cases, it also means the host reservoir is thinner and the virus has a shorter avenue to spread and it also means the hospitals are not going to be overrun, which is 100% the reason for the lockdown.

I also believe the vast majority of people don't understand what it means to "flatten the curve". It's not to reduce the number of people who get the virus, it's to slow it down long term so you don't get a huge rise in cases and there aren't enough hospital beds. Which goes back to the point I made at some point in this thread that it may be better to let the virus now burn itself out. The host reservoir is thinning now that they're admitting the number of cases far outweighs the number of confirmed cases.

Might be time to reopen very soon and stay away from the elderly for a while.

Another contradiction I encountered from health experts when pulling from an aggregate...

03-10-2020
Health expert number one: The primary mechanism for transmission is respiratory, it's just breathing.

04-10-2020
Health expert number two: The virus sits on a water droplet, the water droplet falls to the ground. It doesn't fly around in the air.

One expert says it's airborne.
One expert says it's not airborne.
Both are "experts".

Lower than 4.1% but higher than the 0.1% the flu represents. It doesn’t work to respike and hope for that best.

Oh look. Hydroxychloroquine not working.

[showa58taro]

Also reopening will just respike it. The rates are higher, but they are not herd immunity higher. Too many variables.

Your mentality is what can cause much higher death. Rooting for a medicine to not work... Thankfully you don't have absolute power.

It is working wonders for the majority of severely ill Covid patients when used in correlation with a zinc supplement. We discussed this pages ago.

And the quarantine has effectively made the CDC predict (finally) that it will likely become endemic, which I (a bum on a computer) predicted before they even suspected the virus could spread from human-to-human. Why am I two steps ahead of the CDC?
So now we get to suffer with the coronavirus recirculating and killing people indefinitely until a vaccine is created. Thanks, quarantine?

I’m staying home and encouraging everyone to do the sann NIH e for as long as it takes so that this thing doesn’t cause thousands of needless deaths. I’m not the one suggesting it’s time to reopen and burn through the sick, elderly, and some healthy people.

I’m also highlighting we aren’t hearing about this miracle cure because it was never a miracle cure and again that’s to prevent death not encourage it.

That was going to happen no matter the course, that we’d be ducked until a vaccine was developed.

If we quarantined the elderly and let it burn through the host reservoir rapidly, the virus would be extinct in months and no vaccine would even be necessary.

The world economy can only suffer for so long before people HAVE to go back to work.

Hydroxychloroquine is hit or miss with some people. Hydroxychloroquine in correlation with a zinc supplement is a success for the vast majority of the very ill. It is a promising treatment.
