Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

All of the local bars, have removed the stools from the bars, but have placed the high top tables near the bar, with four high top chairs around them. You can sit in the same general location, just in a different seating configuration. Makes no sense at all.

Just witnessed this for the first time on Thursday. Why not alternate bar seats if the person is not a part of a group? Duh. Nah, just shut the bar seating down basically. I'll go in for lunch and have a beer solo after a errand or appointment. I now have to take an entire 4 top to myself. Pure stupidity.

@mich The black guys?

It was on this site somewhere, but can't find it yet. Looking...

@mich Here it is, the two black guys talking about how crazy Wuhan virus masks are.

It's called "Mask Off" and seems to be by guys who call themselves "Barricade Garage":

Nah, they're black. They're safe likely. I just watched the embedded video here and not on youtube, but if they in fact put the links to the statistics mentioned, there's no way it could be pulled down. YouTube would have to admit publicly that they pulled down a black channel for citing statistics. That wouldn't go over well.

They will be censored just the same:

Uncountable sick and a million dead, mostly from side effects of the lockdown.
1823   mell   2020 Jul 26, 9:41am  

40k cases away from recovered surpassing active cases. Let's get a last round of fear porn going.

The most recent, intensive, round of mask Mandates will allow the branch covidians to claim, "See, it worked".

At least, with the masks, we'll be able to vote.

Whoa! I coined the same term just two days ago, albeit not on patnet - branch covidians! Harhar, although it's almost an insult to the original branch davidians who at least didn't tell others outside of their cult how to live their lives ;)

No "second wave" anywhere in the world:



US is back to normal level of weekly deaths as of July 13th.

Spain even went below normal levels.

The masks and lockdowns are working. If we continue until November 5 and have mail in voting we should be over the worst American crisis since the Ukrainian blackmail incident.

Yes! Only Mighty Joe can make all this go away!

Recovered have surpassed active cases.
1834   Patrick   2020 Jul 30, 9:51am  

This is an important factor which is ignored by the press of course.

The majority of the Wuhan virus deaths are in people who did not have long to live anyway, and so an increase in virus deaths is causing a decrease in deaths from other causes.

Presumptively died from instead of died with Covid-19.

Notice how Spain's graph of excess deaths went below average for the time of the year:

Exactly. The virus has burned through all of those at death's door.

I saw my brother for the first time in 4 months. He was a delivery driver who delivers food all over NYC, North Jersey, Philly, and sometimes Maryland. Turns out, he got Corona in February. He lost his sense of taste and smell and occasionally had trouble breathing for 3 weeks. But since he couldn’t taste anything, he apparently just consumed habanero peppers left and right to open up his nasal passage and have the air come flying in. He said he could barely taste the spice. He said it was just annoying...nothing more. The vast majority of the population can function with this stupid virus.

Simple straightforward policy would be:

If you are overweight, diabetic, high blood pressure, etc.... shelter in place. We could even fund their unemployment.
Everyone else, get back to work.
Guard nursing homes with extra precautions.
1840   SoTex   2020 Jul 30, 9:46pm  

Sounds similar to my experience 2 weeks before him. It's that loss of smell that has me convinced. I pick up everything multiple times a year and never ever experienced that. Some of the other symptoms were unusual as well. That's why I think I got it again 6 months later, I didn't lose my sense of smell the 2nd time. (Also learned how most people don't make antibodies for more that a month)

This. You're hired to run the CDC man!

Trump didn’t discover shit. Just mentioned what people were talking about. HQC was being talked about before Trump even mentioned it.

Thank you!

OK, that's an angle that can be used to overcome Democrat hate for Trump and save tens of thousands of lives.

We just have to point out that he was not the first one to mention HCQ.

Fauci should indeed go to jail for having killed so many people. Can Trump not fire him?

He can and he will. Fauci is going to be Trump's Covid scapegoat, and for valid reasons. You can't fire the top person during a pandemic. Media would torch him and he knows it. The guy has made mistake after mistake and I have a hunch that Trump has dirt on him. He's going to wait until the timing is right and fire him showing links to big pharma and how he gave bad advice. Trump will literally be able to blame the entire Covid response on Fauci and it's going to look awful for Fauci. The guy is a deer in headlights every interview I see the last month or so.

On one issue alone Fauci has failed massively. If masks were effective, even homemade cloth ones, then he failed. He told us not to wear them. And if it was out of fear of masks running out for health professionals, then he lied. He's in a lose lose situation. He knew it was an airborne virus and we've studied masks of all types before this pandemic. It won't change my vote, but frankly I'm pissed he hasn't been fired yet, hence why I think it's a timing play by Trump.

You can see it in Fauci's eyes and his demeanor. He knows he's done.

To be fair, this was proven to be a hoax.
