I think Brazil is trying the alternative - which is to let it plow through and clean up at the end. Not really fair to the non-FluBros needed emergency services for other reasons, but it is an alternative approach and it may end quickly there...since all will be infected.

No worries. Got Curie onto two legs and wearing the Nuka Girl costume. All is well.

That’s what I understand. I just checked their stats:

From mbeltran at FluTrackers:
Coronavirus cases in Brazil:
4,579 cases confirmed by the Ministry of Health and
159 deaths.
The average lethality rate is 3.5%
State of São Paulo has 1517 cases with 113 deaths. The mortality rate in the state is 7.4%.
However, remembering that the government is testing only the cases of hospitalized people.

https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/-2019-ncov-new-coronavirus/brazil-covid-19/825769-brazil-covid-19-cases-and-news-4-579-cases-159-deaths?p=843356#post843356

It will be interesting to see what happens, especially if their hospitals are overwhelmed. The U.K. was going to take this approach too, but it got to be too much I think a s they backtracked.

9,298 new cases in New York State since yesterday

5,686 new cases in New York City

In part this seems to be due to more testing: 18,645 tested yesterday vs. 14K-16K on several recent days

But also, % testing positive is up: 49.8% of tests were positive yesterday

Sweden has had 180 deaths. We have 35 times the number of people Sweden has. If they had our population, their “let it burn” method would have resulted in roughly 6300 deaths by now, many more than the current 3400 deaths we have had.

The Netherlands has had over a thousand deaths. We have about 21 times the number of people that the Netherlands has. If the Netherlands had our population they would have 21000 deaths by now.

Cuomo also spoke about procuring ventilators and how he was being ‘outbid’ by other states. Which raises two questions:

1) CCP controls all production. Why is the CCP allowing one of their companies to bid out a critical piece of equipment, when they caused this pandemic?

2) why is Cuomo sourcing from CCP, when a) he has ventilators ‘in a warehouse’, and b) we have GM, Tesla, and half a dozen other American companies already retooled and producing ventilators in bulk? and c) his state’s medical staff don’t have PPE because of CCP

You can bet that everyone in HK, Singapore and Japan wears masks, face shields/big sunglasses and gloves when they step out of their homes.

They also never wear their outdoor shoes in their homes but change into their slippers at then door.

That’s OK. Those numbers will speed up the desired demographic replacement in those countries.

Everybody has to have dirt on Cuomo.

He’s one of the most corrupt politicians out there.

Cuomo is a liar and a thief.
