Coronavirus

Good hell.
At this point, we might as well merge the 3 threads... put this one, 2020 Presidential Election and the official "Let's Impeach Trump" threads into one.
 
Little sister (23 years young) 99.9% has it (fiancee she lives with got his diagnosis - works at one of the packing plants so he got tested). Having a bitch of a time getting time off work. Hospitals in her town are telling her "yeah, you've got it, but we don't want you coming in unless you've got serious symptoms" and work is telling her "if you don't have an official test result we don't give a ****" (she's a vet tech). Related to the serious symptoms (though I'm not sure it's actually covid or not), has had bad bad diarrhea the last 2 days.

Whole thing is pissing me off.
 
Its interesting the feedback loop that the right wing has set up.

Grifters pull a stunt that they know will get them on Fox News. Fox News then gets days worth of rage out of the grifter. This gets them eyeballs and helps them continue to push their culture war. The grifter gets the money and attention that they want. Republicans take advantage of the grifter and Fox News to whip up base support and market their brand. Social media and Facebook market the grifter as some sad desperate victim of injustice.

Rubes then see it on Facebook and social media and share, retweet, post on message boards, etc. which creates more grifters who want in on the operation.



Meanwhile, injustices like these get zero attention from the entire right wing propaganda apparatus.


The vast majority of the conservatives I follow have been talking about how awful and unjustified the murder was. Only a few extremists have said otherwise. C'mon. A little intellectual honesty wouldn't kill you.
 
Several states have come out that blood tests are saying the virus was around in December and January. Lot of people got mocked for saying that.

Seems like while still being serious, it's spread more and been not as deadly as previously reported. The more time we have, the more beneficial data we get.

It’s exponentially worse than the flu though. I mean, we’re gonna hit 100,000 deaths in a couple weeks and that’s with decent social distancing. I still think we end up with 250,000-500,000 depending on just how badly opening back up goes. I actually think a million is still very much in the cards tbpfh.

Yes, it is worse than the flu. Never said otherwise. Just that it does seem like it was here earlier than reported. One would assume it spread quite a bit then. An optimistic person might have reason to believe we're closer to some sort of a herd immunity, if true.

I’ve wondered that. I sort of thought I had it back around March 5th-15th or so. Had a fever for a day. A little cough. But the main thing was a very unusual, almost hollow like feeling in my chest/lungs.
 
I have heard that the total number of deaths in the world have gone up quite a bit during this pandemic, and not just by the numbers from COVID deaths. If that is true, and I don't know if it is, it seems possible that a lot of deaths that were blamed on other causes could have been COVID as well if it was present in the USA in January or sooner. We will likely never know.

I know a lot of people who think they had it. I'm skeptical of most of them.

I was in Disneyland late February, early March, so man, I gotta think I had a high chance of exposure. We didn't get sick though.
 
And no Trump press conference is complete without a dose of "History according to The Donald":

Introducing Obamagate, lol....



it’s so obvious that he can’t even explain it and no sane person can tell you. I’m sure it makes sense to the likes of Hannity and alex Jones. Obama, Bill Gates, Soros, clinton, Comey, gay frogs, chem trails, plandemic, China, Biden, science, Fauci, Qanon, and mind control vaccines. It all makes sense!

It’s interesting how you’d think he’d take that opportunity, a press conference, to expound on something he felt so confident about on Twitter. Seems like a gigantic missed opportunity if he truly felt like and knew that Obama had done something wrong.

On second thought, since he, Dershowitz, and Barr think that a president can do whatever they want, what exactly did Obama do wrong? Couldn’t Obama have spied on trump, hacked his bank account, and impregnated Ivanka and Just blamed it all on Wanting to protect the country? After all, that excuse worked for Trump in the senate impeachment, right?
 
HAHAHAHA.. now EVERYONE entering the West Wing is required to wear a MASK or FACE COVERINGGGGG...

A LITTLE TOO LATE?!?!

80k deaths and counting and this requirement's just coming in NOW?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????
 
I wish @Heathme @Political Jazz Fan could explain in detail what Obamagate is. No twitter posts. Just a solid summary by himself, on what obamagate is. I dare you to do it.

Before 2016 election and up through the Trump inauguration the Obama Admin and FBI were apparently having secret meetings to try to undermine the incoming Trump Administration which included the framing of NSA Michael Flynn.
