It’s the 5G you should be worried about

You forgot to wear the tin foil on your head!

Then you would have had everything covered--a version of Pascal's wager. ;-)

I hope he’s taking Zinc and getting the HCQ-Z-pac shot. He may be an idiot, but he still doesn’t deserve this Chinese Crud. I hope he pulls through.

Texas City (between Houston and Galveston) - 27 of the 80+ nursing home cases being treated with hydroxychloroquine.

I think they should just treat them all with HCQ and use the thousands upon thousands of documented non-HCQ-treated cases as the control group.

Dr. “Scarf” Birx advised one person in a family going to the store every 2 weeks. Because off my work schedule, I’d be doing it once every 12 days, unfortunately, but I was planning to go today, but put it off for another 6 days to start with. I prepped for possible quarantine, so I should be fine until then.

Plus, I live alone, so I shouldn’t need more than 1 cart in each store I go to for all the stuff (Wal-Mart and Food Lion).

“Gunnison closed to outsiders during the Spanish flu pandemic and was spared for the moat part.”

I’m guessing that wasn’t intentional - but it fits. “moat”!

he is knocking WHO a lot in this presser.

Reporter wanted to ask Fauci a question but Trump cut him off. When Trump leaves I am sure Fauci will get the question

The next time you're grumbling about being "stuck" behind a truck climbing a hill (nearly all of us unthinkingly do this, including me), perhaps reflect upon this story of how truckers prevented a bridge-jumper suicide on I-696 just north of Detroit:

Trucks line up to help stop suicide attempt on Michigan freeway (4/25/18)

“Retired NYPD sergeant with coronavirus drops dead on Manhattan street hour after leaving hospital”

FluBro response: How do we know he’s not faking it?

According to the webs - 6.1% blacks in Minnesota. That sounds about right.

My sister would tell the story of me, probably five or six years old. She brought one of her friends home from college who was black. I went up and touched the friend’s skin and said either “I don’t like you” or “I don’t like your skin” or something like that! First time I had ever seen a black person (grew up in Minnesota).

I’m shaving half as often. I’m such a horrible face toucher that with my luck, I’d have Wu Flu enter me through a shaving cut.

When confirmed CV19 fatalities in the US at least exceed 60,000, but more probably exceed 100,000.
"Wonder what number we get to before the FluBros say it’s not the flu."

Why does that make me think of various sex acts, both hetero and homo, that fall under the definition of “sodomy?”

If the flubros paid any attention to the Spain and Italy numbers, and were capable of arithmetic, they would realize those numbers have already been exceeded in those countries (adjusted for population).

“So we do want to know the truth about every death at home but it’s safe to assume that the vast majority are coronavirus related, and that makes it even more sober the sense of how many people we are losing.”

He's talking about deaths at home. Obviously not all of them are the CV. But I'm guessing they can take a guess. The paramedics or whoever are called probably have a “typical” average number of deaths in a home for a day. Any number that is over that could be used as an estimated CV death. I can't even imagine dying at home from this without having the time to call for help or get to the hospital.

I recall reading somewhere that is done to estimate flu deaths as well. The number of deaths during flu season that is above the daily average death for pneumonia and similar illnesses. (Or something like that)

such problems support my case that when we open back up, we should have a restriction on businesses to only allow occupancy up to 1/2 of what the fire code allows (if that).

Rummy, some of these stories are utterly terrifying, at least to me.

This poor man.
