Initially I thought so , but looking at Trump's statement and with all the sheeple following Trump, who knows that they now believe what Trump believes.and ready to rewrite the evolution theory

You may have fallen for it again. That Trump statement framing Trump as not knowing the difference between virus and bacteria looks to be an amalgamation of two different unrelated speeches (see SunnyvaleCA post 8).

Yeah, in the original link provided, the embedded video shows Trump talking about COVID-19 but then there are text quotations that mention antibiotic resistance. Using the text quotations, I searched and found a different Trump video (linked in my initial response) that talks about resistance but doesn't have any mention of COVID-19 or any other context that would seem to point towards COVID-19. In fact, that 2nd video is clipped very tightly and I'm wondering if they are specifically clipping OFF the part where he mentions bacteria resistance to antibiotics.

I think the original article TDS writer figured they would put quotations about antibiotic resistance in the text of the article but then link to a Trump video that mentions COVID-19 and hope the reader would put the two together. The video mentions COVID-19 but is long and boring enough that few will watch the 2.5 minutes and say to themselves.... Trump never spoke the words that he is quoted as saying.

SunnyvaleCA says

But as far as we know, Trump knows full well the difference between bacteria and virus. It's just that the fake-news is putting things together out of context and claiming he doesn't know the difference. This is fake-news making up fake news to smear the president.

100% correct. I just don't know that you're going to change some minds here. Whether it was bacteria or this virus, people would have made up fake stories. I don't really know that there's a way to change this even if you/we call it out. At some point I'm resigned to the fate that it's on purpose, or our society all has slight retardation. I'm fearful it's the latter option.

Approximate Total Corona Virus Deaths so far:127,000
Annual Flu Related Deaths 2019: between 291,000 and 646,000

I'll keep watching, but this video is already bull shit. 300k deaths per day? Lol. We know younger people have been tested and were positive and didn't die. Hell the UK PM got it and survived. The assumption this hasn't been circulating longer than people believe is nuts. Why do you think NYC has been a hotbed? It thrives in dense, urban environments. That includes nursing homes once one person bring it in. They live on top of each other.

The data keeps supporting that it kills old, weak and unhealthy people. And it's really the super unhealthy too, not just the obese. 2, 3, 4, etc. underlying conditions. There aren't 300k a day deaths for those types of people to hit the numbers 2:30 into this video. Children would have to be dying at the same rate as the 60+ crowd to even touch the numbers in this video (so far with what I've watched).

I harp on the expert thing, but there's not one piece of data that could even remotely come close to 300k deaths per day. I'm going to continue watching, but fear I'll be dumber for doing so.

They gave up their lives for the fiat currency economy.

I keep hearing that virtue signalling hogwash. No different than:

Lets lower the national speed limit to 45mph. We would save thousands of lives. If you are against the lower speed limits, it shows you value convenience over the lives of thousands of people.

Lets have a law where all mobile devices have any text feature turned off if the device senses it is going over 12mph. That would save thousands of lives from people killed by those who text while driving. If you are against this, you value your petty ability to text as a passenger over thousands of lives saved.

The Corona Virus is going to stop as soon as Durham announces his indictments.

BTW My Drummer, for the 5 years I've known him. Has bemoaned how his wife and daughter's minds have been hijacked by the left. He makes them sound like Femnazis.
They get triggered by any positive political talk. It's so bad they've been to marriage counseling, though the Councillor turned out to be a Liberal Fag that sided with her, and chastised his male toxicity.
Due to the Stay at home orders, you would think they would have escalated to the worse.
But they came over yesterday as a couple, they are both Chefs on the Beach and they are closed until further notice. They seem like they are bonding. But more telling is his wife, while I was giving them a news update as reported on Patnet. I was expecting her to get triggered and go storming out. Instead at one point, she said, "Obama was handsome, well spoken and charming, but nobody knew just how Evil he was."
She also believes this was spread and managed by the same philanthropist the Democrats all gush over.
Though she's argued with her husband over American politics, she said she's never been political and has never voted in American elections(She's Canadian, well not anymore).
She said she fully intends on getting a voters reg and voting for Trump this time. After four years of savaging her husband for liking Trump.

The Daughter is still a leftest loon, she's dating a Leftist professional protester, and his parents are Professors in one of the Florida colleges.

But probably wont be voting because of Bernie losing.

Coronavirus: Can it even be stopped?

Only once we get herd immunity.

7:00 - Boom. Clear and distinct proof this is a YouTube subscriber push. In the middle of a video after hyping impossible numbers you ask people to share your video? WTF fuck does a virus have to do with YouTube and a bruised ego because you don't know their algo?

ThreeBays - this may come across as personal, but it's not intended that way. Are you genuinely that afraid of this virus? Posting a video that mentions 300k deaths per day is pure click bait. It's simply not possible with even the limited data we have. We'd have to see 10% deaths of tested cases from ages 1-100 to even come close to those numbers. That's assuming the virus just keeps indiscriminately killing people that it currently isn't killing. This video is claiming that 1% of the ENTIRE US population can die in 10 days. That's absurd even from the most pessimistic of virologist. It hasn't remotely come close to doing that in THREE months.

Basically this video is pure fiction and half way through it the guy bitches about YouTube/google not indexing his fucking video the way HE wants?! I stopped watching at the 7 minute mark roughly. Stuff like this is what pushes people over the edge during times like this. YouTube should pull this video. I'm generally not for any censorship, but this is basically telling people they're going to die, so might as well get it over with for those with mental health issues. Not a cool thing to post in all honesty.

They should ban sodomy and promiscuity, would save millions of lives. Also ban getting fat, that’s 10+ million lives saved.

Why do you value stupidity over life!!!!

Tim Aurora says

First of all these are stupid examples.. We do have speed limits and they do save lives. There has to be an optimum speed limit which balances the time vs loss of life. We do have "driver licenses" for stopping stupid people driving and killing others.

The opening of the economy is again a cost vs life issue. Each life and hospitalization is also a cost, not just the money lost in the restaurant or a factory. They will not open games to public but may do it with empty stadium. Or they may open construction but delay non-essential projects.

...

Nothing stupid about those examples. They all fit within framework of saving lives.

Most lives lost are to dumb personal choices.

Tim Aurora says

Yup. We save and also make money in the process. People get their paychecks and not UE benefits and we have a bunch of old people die that we no longer have to pay out SS for. Win-win in my book. Not sure the issue. If you don't want to die, stay home if you're old and weak. Not complicated.

Tim Aurora says

The speed limit and driver's license were supposed to be conditions for operating a motor vehicle on "public" roads. There is no government specified speed limit or license requirement for you to either run or drive on your own private land.

The opening of the economy is again a cost vs life issue. Each life and hospitalization is also a cost, not just the money lost in the restaurant or a factory. They will not open games to public but may do it with empty stadium. Or they may open construction but delay non-essential projects.

And you think a "cost vs. life issue" is best left to bureaucrats bought off by the Gates? Instead of leaving that choice to yourself on an individual basis? We already know that the inventor of computer virus Bill Gates and his foundation ruined/killed millions of lives in Africa and India in pursuit of deadly vaccines; how many Americans do you want them to kill in their pursuit of placing a digital tag on you?

"Believe it, the paradigm has changed" , a quote from my Chinese friend who lived there during SARs.

The paradigm didn't change for Chinese during the original SARS: their Confucian word-view always viewed citizens/subordinates as live-stock to be used and abused by the superior . . . in other words, an even more dehumanizing version of the Third Reich's Fuhrerprinzip.

lets keep everything closed for another half year and then we will have neither economy nor coronavirus left. Only cannibal anarchy, which is much better than corona cold.

Is the CIA still weighing the notion that it was behind the Kennedy assassination? Yeah, I'm so interested in what it is weighing.

This lays it all out. And indeed, this extremely well researched documentary may have been the catalyst for Washington Intelligence agencies to get off their asses and look into this.

Corona will never leave. It’s quite permanent.

I always thought it was a huge overreaction or biological warfare. It might be both.

The lockdown situation is so ridiculous.

I am in line at Trader Joe's and EVERYONE except me and the doorman, is wearing masks. The blue lines spaced out every six feet stretch around the corner. They let a couple at a time in. I moved up a little bit to get out of the sun and the elderly masked man 5, not 6, feet in front of me turns and says, " can you maintain social distance?, I know it's sunny but I don't want to give my symptoms to you".
I replied, "I can see the virus cloud around you".
He turned around and shut up.

I'm next. The unmasked doorman will give me a squirt of hand sanitizer and I can get some food.

Tenpoundbass says

Durham announces his indictments

Thanks, haven't been reading about Durham:

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15219/durham-indictments

There is new evidence that U.S. Attorney John Durham is getting to the root of criminal abuses by senior U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials in their conspiracy to undermine the Trump campaign, transition and presidency. Mr. Durham's mandate from Attorney General William Barr -- to uncover the seditious plot behind the Trump-Russia hoax, if pursued vigorously, will uncover the single greatest threat to the Constitution since the nation's founding.

It's going to be amusing hearing Democrats try to claim there's nothing actionable with Durham, while continuing to champion Nixon's Impeachment.

What Obama did is far, far worse on a greater level for a longer period of time.

Those neodynium magnets are friggin strong as hell. If you got two of those up your nose, you wouldn't be able to get any amount of leverage to get them out on your own. They are hard enough to separate by hand when they are small.

No. So what? Neither can Influenza. In fact unlike the CVs which mutate slowly influenza mutates each season and rapidly, so vaccines are never reliable. Long term influenza is a much bigger challenge. Let it burn out. Reopen May 1st!

It's pointing out that the global death toll with varying degrees of lockdown by country is still far below what normally happens every year due to the flu.

ThreeBays says

There's not going to be a quick return to normal.

Prediction: There will indeed be a quick return to normal, except, hopefully, for some valuable lessons learned about why we should not continue to outsource to China.

Why the quick return to normal? Because pretty much every country on earth is on the same curve, showing this thing lasts about 90 days even with varying responses among countries:



More predictions:

- Democrats will blame Trump for not doing enough
- Democrats will blame Trump for doing too much
- Democrats will attempt to continue to outsource factories to China and insource illegals from Mexico, and scream !RACIST! at anyone who objects
- voters will get serious about objecting to the devastation of the US working class, and Democrats will lose not only this election, but the next as well

ThreeBays says

if we were to go back to normal the epidemic would spike right back up

But vast swathes of the population have already had it with few or no symptoms, and they probably won't get it again. 50% to 75% of the infected are asymptomatic.

So the epidemic probably won't come back in any significant way. It's running out of new blood already.

ThreeBays says

When you take that and herd immunity into account it's closer to 100k in a day at peak. Of course this is a possibility but not something we'll actually see because we'll keep interfering with it.

We have 134k deaths WORLDWIDE as of this post. First known cases about early December 2019. Almost 5 fucking months deep. 80-90% of places didn't shut down after their first tested case. How in the flying fuck do you get to 100k in a day when we sat here opened up for MONTHS??? You're dogma is pure bullshit at this point. We weren't testing, and when we did, we found the first case in January. This assumption that the Chinese guy in Washington was patient zero in the states is laughable at best and retarded most likely.

No one was testing for this in the states or Europe, even when they shut down Wuhan. I think you kind of already have done so, but you want this to bring down Trump. Even if it does, who cares??? Unless you're a fortune 500 company, the POTUS does almost zilch for you or me. This is not a serious crisis outside of the media for some reason making it one. Biden could get elected tomorrow and I don't give a flying fuck. This isn't about politics. I do think the ass wads perpetrating this, are starting to realize the gig is over. Hopefully this is the last piece of shit flung at the wall.

Although I do predict there will be another mass casualty event before November. Maybe the biggest we've seen in modern history post Vietnam. I hope I'm wrong, but blowing up a flu bug has backfired at this point. I don't think we've seen the grand finale.

I hope so. I was deeply troubled by Newsom talking for hours without saying anything, esp. not acknowledging May 1st as SIP expiration and make an extension the unlikely event only in case things get drastically worse. Instead he went with an extension being likely unless everything is great end of April. This is piss poor leadership and abandoning CAs paycheck to paycheck workers, many of which are young adults. Maybe he was briefed by his globalist masters who didn't like his earlier cooperation with the Donald to prolong this as much as possible because orange! Man! Must! Look! Bad!

Nah, a very small proportion has had it overall. 3% maybe.

My tin foil hat is firmly in place admittedly. I think this virus flopped. I think we see the grand finale next. I'm honestly scared for what it is. The game could get out of control. I try to be level headed and rational, but it's one thing after another at this point. There's no way there's not some mass casualty event before November at this point... I'm convinced of that.

Given that we have stuck almost everyone in households for a month, surely we only have to test one member if each household to release them. And we can do that going forward. Should cut tests by a third.

This is how one of the confirmed cases I know of was handled. They tested the wife (my buddies aunt) and she was positive. They literally said they just assumed her husband was positive and wouldn't test him. So one test turned into two positive cases of COVID-19. This is what we're dealing with. The bullshit and hype is staggering.

ThreeBays says

Do we know if they counted it?

Docs said it was counted. Can only go off the 1 person I know out of 3 that is alive that said this to my friend. Mind you out of thousands of people. I'm clocking in at about 0.04% deaths in my extended network. But hey, pandemic?

Wherever they took statistic samples of asymptomatic people in the world around 15%-20% tested positive for antibodies. Few dont develop (sufficient) ABs and few lose them over time. So around 20% is the likely figure, which is sizable but in line with the percentage infected by a good pandemic. Add in all the sick over the next few months/years and you arrive anywhere between 20%-25%. The cat has been out of the bag long ago.

ThreeBays says

Patrick says

Diamond Princess showed that half to 3/4 of the population already had it, leaving 20-30% still vulnerable at that time. The tests on USS Teddy Roosevelte showing only 10% positive meant that 80-90% of the population already had exposure. As those ships with dozens of people sharing the same room around the clock (especially the restaurants and mess halls onboard), everyone who didn't have antibody would have been infected.

ThreeBays says

100K deaths in a day would've happened some time in May if we carried on business as usual.

LOL! Only in the dreams of someone who doesn't understand math and the basics of how virus infection works in an animal herd

I'm not sure why you're so incredulous. We had around 2,500 deaths recorded today. One month ago we had 12, that's a 208x increase in one month. It's only a 40x increase from here to 100K.

The 2500 number is due to a one-time adding back of cumulative deaths of a particular category over multiple weeks that previous bureaucratic standards didn't count.

What? Jan 22 we were recording a minimum of 17 deaths daily at least... A month ago it was 1,459 in a day. There's a reason I capped WORLDWIDE. I think you're taking wrong numbers and plugging them into the US population or you're just being dishonest.
