His girlfriend was Mona. Mona and Cyrus.
He brings up some good points to ponder.
FYI: The head of the WHO is a dedicated Marxist.
For now, any overreaction has only helped slow the spread.
The important (and hard) part going forward is figuring out when and how to return things to normal life.
Some good news: In the USA, the percentage of critical cases (as a fraction of active cases) is .3%
Yeah, that’s point-3%.
The “death” rate (which is an improper measurement unless all cases are known)is dropping fast, now down to 1.26%.
(Deaths divided by total know cases).
My memory is that number was 3.8% maybe 8-9 days ago.
The responsibility of balancing the disease risk against the economic risk is not one I would relish guessing about.
And it is just a guess. We will never really know how good a guess once it takes place, probably little by little.
The MSM has “poisoned the well” to the extent that the truth can not be believed either.
Yes. Next question?
There will be MANY MORE DEATHS FROM SUICIDES and OTHER DISEASES THAN FROM THIS VIRUS!!
STOP THE MADNESS!!
will those rat governors ever allow gun sales again?...will they use the excuse that the virus is still around?...
You are surprised that no one here knows one of the 237 people out of 330 million who have died?
I also know a guy in his 30's with. He's in ICU. His organs have shut down.
Any more stupid questions on your part?
Several people on here have posted first hand claims or anecdotes about one or two degrees of separation.
Given the small numbers of infected and the small number of FReepers active, I have my doubts that any FReepers have really had a confirmed case, been treated, recovered and are out of quarantine. I could be wrong, but why didn’t they post about it during the event, like while they were recovering in a hospital?
I do see a couple FluBros making claims they had it and recovered and it was “just the flu” but I attribute that to panic over the destruction of their narrative rather than fact.
The number of active FReepers is probably in the low hundreds, if that, but let’s say 200 for easy math. The number of confirmed infected is 16,638, or roughly 1 in 20,000 Americans. The odds of a single individual being in both groups is pretty small, around 1%. That’s a 1% chance that *any* FReeper has been confirmed, treated, etc. And then they’d have to be at the right point in the process to be on here telling war stories.
I actually think he makes sense. Imagine how many resources would be freed up if old people were to suddenly die off in mass numbers. Less in SS payments, less in Medicare payments, less in retirement payments by companies, as well as, governments at every level. Of course the well off financially will not be affected at all, but then they are few and far between, and they don’t rely on government resources.
Yes, someone in my church congregation has it.
“They just had another 500+ fake crisis actors pretend to die in Italy today, all to hurt Trump.”
627. In one day. From the same cause.
That wasn’t the question.
Hoax. I don’t think so. Attack on the West by China and it’s minions? More plausible. (Minions can be US democrats, Soros, etc)
“That’s a relevant question.”
Aye, it is.
Only time and history can answer the question.
My cough and sniffles disappeared yesterday and I never did get a fever. I was told to report on Monday, but this is California so who knows?
“You are surprised that no one here knows one of the 237 people out of 330 million who have died?”
Oops, awkward phrasing but you know what I meant.
I go out only when necessary. I avoid people. I come home and scrub my hands. I’m avoiding most posts on the virus and 95% of the news. Occam’s Razor.
It’s not a HOAX but it IS A PRETEXT!
