Yesterday's thread here:

That’s not sick.
That’s like guessing the number of jelly beans in a mason jar.
I was actually surprised WV held out as long as it did. Given its proximity to DC and other cities in the I95 corridor. Guess nobody actually *stops* in WV on their way through.
Lucky WV.
Something to remember if thinking of a retirement spot out of the mad rush of big cities.
Damn
Thanks for the tip, I‘ll look into that one.
Good idea... I used to have a solar oven, but that would probably catch them on fire
Does anyone, here, recall the article that (IIRC) claimed that a positive patient showed no signs of having any trace of the ChiCom virus, after receiving the HCQ/Z treatment?
I thought I read about this, on one of the CV threads.
TIA.
Please consider: Based on the most current data concerning the China virus, the anti-flubros may in fact be correct in their assumptions ... but not in the way they hoped to be. The most recent data reported by Johns Hopkins reports includes the following:
Infections
COVID-19: Approximately 1,286,409 cases worldwide; 337,933 cases in the U.S. as of Apr. 6, 2020
Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.
Deaths
COVID-19: Approximately 70,356 deaths reported worldwide; 9,653 deaths in the U.S., as of Apr. 6, 2020.
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.
So based on what we know today, this China virus is not, in fact and as the anti-flubros proffer, "just like the regular flu"; this China virus appears to be significantly less virulant and signficantly less lethal than the "regular flu".
Sorry anti-flubros, but you do need to hold the data -- the facts -- above the interpretation of models especially when the models are consistently inaccurate in their predictions and, most importantly, in the inevitability of their predictions.
As an aside, I do appreciate that by employing the reference to Dunning-Kruger you have at least elevated the name-calling to a higher level than "flubros", which, of course, results in an air of superiority over those who employ the far weaker perjorative against those with whom they disagree.
Cheers!
He is crashing
Saw something from Salon about a lung doctor who went through this...he said his life was saved by having gotten to the hospital before he crashed. He was close to having to go on a ventilator
Boris has never looked well.
He has to have access to all experimental drugs.
God Speed, Bojo
Simply facts.
Nothing sick, or sinister about it.
I like looking at the downside of the COVID curve, which is also based on facts.
Wouldn’t you imagine that they started him on all of the experimental protocols, already?
This is terrible.
Prayers, continuing.
So let’s say we get it more or less controlled in this country.
I would still think it would be several months before we would allow people to come in or leave the country if there are still cases globally.
Could not disagree more.
If it was just facts, the FReeper would not have congratulated themselves on getting close to their predicted guess date.
"Simply facts" means no "patting one's self on the back" for such a thing.
If he ‘outguessed’ the million dollar models,...yeah, he deserves a pat on the back.
‘we’ are being held hostage by these models.
That’s like guessing the number of jelly beans in a mason jar.
Really? That's not even close to guessing jelly beans in a jar. We're talking about people's lives - not jelly beans.
Good grief - think about what the heck you are saying.
Agree.
We can handle trade, under strict processes.
A LOT of international processes will have to change, at least until this thing is goes away.
We have to keep the disease out, until the globe calms completely down.
And one of them doesn’t know the difference between ‘epidemic’ and ‘endemic’.
maybe not
depends on if he has any kind of heart problem
they might have waited
like someone said on another thread..maybe he is having a problem with QT prolongation
If he was on trumps miracle drug from the beginning it shouldnt have hit him this hard...if the drug works...which it clearly does
The models that several here were quoting from jot and tittle.
I have an idea - to heck with the models.
Yep....good point/s.
Do you think the flubros ‘bragging’ about the flu death rate are celebrating that?
Cuz it sure sounds like it from most of them.
