No need to politicize this. Calming the public and saying "we've got it under control" was the MO of both media and politicians of all stripes, until mid-Feb.

When Trump tried to shut down travel from China, he was called xenophobic.

When he allocated 2 billion to a response team, he was called foolish.

The CDC kits failed, yes, and that is the fault of the CDC. It was rectified within two weeks.

He responded with mass-closures within a week of the country hitting 20 deaths, in line with Italy's and China's responses.

He offers a very non-Republican stimulus plan to settle the economy, and prevent needless job loss and foreclosures.

Judge the man by his deeds, not his words.

Goofus - don't interrupt the circle jerk with reasonable comments and observations.

At least Apoplectic-fuck didn't put them choice quotes in ALL CAPS so we could actually read them.

Abbreviated graphic version for those who prefer pictures with their reading





Although this is dated, it's at 54,000 now.

But on another note, is the rate of increase in deaths about to slow down ? 207, 256, 302, 413, 553, 698 , 759, oops that last number is still growing

Can you please change that picture? I literally can’t read this forum half the time because giant ugly porn will make others think I’m watching porn.

I like this picture much better.

Just the flu bro, totally normal to lock down 1.5B people.

Another issue with COVID-19 is the high hospitalization rate

For people who are affected by it and develop symptoms, it seems to head right for your lungs. I’m still hacking up stuff 16 days later.

Tim Aurora says

We have to go back and realize that 90% of the cases reported and hospitalized weren't covid19 at all. They probably ended up getting it, because their stupid ass, went to the one place they would be sure to get it. A hospital.

Before that majority I'm talking a in the upper 80% or more, were never tested and only assumed that they had Covid19.
The tests now are showing that only 10% of those that are sick and think they have COVID19 actually have it.

So there's been a lot of deaths this year, that George Soros wrote down in the COVID19 ledger, that were probably Monoscumbo or some other dirty dank bug.

Rate of infection in NY is doubling every 3 days and accelerating.
New projections show need of 140,000 hospital beds, way higher than current capacity.
Worse: need 40,000 Intensive Care Units beds, where the current capacity is 3000.

Just wait until a year from now, when it turns out millions had it.

The death rate from this will be way below 1%.

Biden and his gaffes are completely out of the headlines. I hear nothing about the Dem primaries besides them cancelling some of them.

"Hey Fat, Pushups, Fat. You dog-eyed pony soldier. Now let me tell you about Corn Pops."

They dragged him off screen as soon as they possibly could and blamed technical issues when he began to turn away from the podium to talk off camera during the livestream.

I'd say 50/50 he gets replaced at the Convention with Cuomo or maybe even Madame Secretary. As Clambo pointed out, the goal is to save the House from flipping, not to win the Presidency.

So far, the US Healthcare system seems to be doing better than virtually all of Europe in keeping people alive.

technically they already do, they just have pictures and words on that toilet paper.

and the quality is horrible: it's not soft, the size is wrong, etc.

Quickie foreclosures?

Sure sure. So believable.

Didn’t make anything. Just Nostradamus prediction with a guide. Fucking biblical powers.

Well, that is a point in favor of living further apart.

Breath you neighbor's cooties no more!

Let's do a test.
I hope Trump gets COVID.

New York is going to be brutal I think. It's trending above Wuhan in your graph and it's a similar size I believe. Lots of old peeps gonna die.

Just the liberal parts of NY. Upstate should be fine.

STARVE AND DIE, AGITPROP ADDLED LUMPENPROLETARIAT, FUCKING STARVE AND DIE!

The Democrat Great Socialist Paradise demands your noble sacrifice to !DEFEAT! !TRUMP!

Lots of old city folks gonna cack.
That should relieve a lot of pressure on our political system as well as entitlements.

Kind of hard to get people who sell their souls for promises of petty free shit to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the country.

Just got back from my first time out of the house (11 days). This isn't going away. Sorry to the Patnet boomers and older, but your generation is fucking retarded.... I know it's anecdotal. Went to Home Depot and Jewel (Albertsons in other parts of the country and other names - grocery store basically). I only saw one kid (was wearing a mask) and every single other person I saw was older than me. Not a joke.

Back of napkin guess would put the average at 62ish? Median may have been 65ish. It was an abortion of intelligence. This kills old people. The more old people die, the longer it takes to get back to normal. STAY THE FUCK HOME!!!

Turds just bounce off Romney's slicked, greased up hair hat onto a sister wife, while Trump's flyaway mousse sticks. Romney has nothing to worry about.

All of the seniors in Florida are gathering to play cards and coffee klatch. They're visiting Walgreens and Publix, often out of mere curiosity or for gossip fodder, being rung out by out-of-school teenagers and college students who went to a party with two dozen people the night before.

The real group that needs to be quarantined is running wild, the safest, least at risk group is being kept out of school and work. It's retarded.

As far as population density goes, SF Bay Area is behind New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston and Chicago. Yes, this is metro area, so YMMV...

They realize that quarantining does not eradicate the disease. Vaccines for the flu are about 30% effective (I'm gonna guess the COVID-19 vaccine will be about the same). They also realize that it is absurd to close down the entire economy when there is an outbreak, as sooner or later the disease will reappear in the population.

Why is that bleak? From a purely economic standpoint it's good for Europe to rejuvenate their avg age. They just need to have more kids.

Does it allow Trump to declare the Cuban gardeners in the White House stairwell who service Melania as dependents? Is this why he hides his tax returns from the public?
