Yesterday's thread here:

It’s something the president asked for to help ensure health professionals have what they need. Sportsman’s Guide is choosing to do something different. I doubt, with all the products they have, that they would go out of business and what sportsman needs surgical masks? Do they normally sell them? Who’s buying them now? People that don’t necessarily need them?
Sell them at cost to hospitals then. No loss.
I hope we never do get in a real war.
I wonder if POTUS and VP are taking the chloroquine meds, ‘out of an abundance of caution’.
Yep. Babies don’t vote...
Certainly, if we can take solace in anything that comes of this plague, it is the fact that open borders and globalism are dead.
It’ll be a couple of decades before any serious Democrat even mentions them, or Republican mentions free trade.
not only are they trying to displace the origin, they are calling their own returning citizens ‘imported’ cases to create a false reorientation towards ‘foreigners’. A LOT of propaganda that foreigners are disease-carriers to rationalize it’s ok for China to close their borders and institute a mandatory 14-day quarantine on any foreign nationals. And the programmed Chinese believe it. Just like the virtue-signaling programmed in Europe and on campuses bought into the ‘hug a chinese’ campaign in Feb.

Nope. That’s the fake location of the lab. Someone moved it from 911 feet from the wet market to 8 miles from the wet market to 21 miles away in the middle of a wooded area on google maps.
one more Panda propaganda piece -
the Italians singing to encourage each other, has been turned into Italians singing the (badly dubbed in) Chinese national anthem in “gratitude” to China;
“Thanks, China!” Italians sing from balconies to express solidarity

BTW, Zero Hedge has a new thread saying DOJ is asking Congress for permission to do indefinite detention without trial, and video arraignmentscwithout requiring consent ofvtge accused...getting lots of pushback.

Natasha Ott, a 39-year-old New Orleans resident, felt the beginnings of a cold coming on March 10.
On Monday, she tested for coronavirus. Five days later, she was dead in her kitchen before ever getting her results — which were delayed
May God rest her soul,
And guide and strengthen us all in this fight.
“DOJ is asking Congress for permission to do indefinite detention without trial”
I’m not sure why the are doing that. They could quarantine infected people with the emergency powers they already have. Maybe they are thinking that the court system will be inoperable?
My understanding is that it is killing 1 to 6 percent of the confirmed cases, not the high percentages you give. I don’t know how they are getting the closed case stat. Seems they aren’t closing the case or including it in that stat for most if the people who don’t die. Have seen an article on line that the real Wuhan rate was over 20 percent.
BenLurkin:
Uh...where are you getting your information?
My response:
I'm getting my data from Johns Hopkins and Worldometers. I should have noted that in my original post.

You have to understand the statistic being reported. Please re-read my original post. The CFR of Closed Cases does not include either 1) those who were diagnosed but are still sick, nor 2) those who have the disease but were not diagnosed.
Both statistics are important. But they answer different questions. It's essential to understand the denominator and the question they're trying to answer.
No single statistic tells you the whole story. They each answer a different question, and they each have their strengths and weaknesses. The particular statistic I'm discussing answers this question: If I'm diagnosed with COVID-19, what are my chances of dying? That question can be asked on a worldwide basis, on a local basis. The answer will only be as good as the data. Some very important qualifications it's important to keep in mind with this statistic are 1) it is usually higher than reality because of incomplete testing and/or reporting, and 2) the true CFR can't be known until the epidemic is over, and 3) the CFR changes over time and from place to place.
All that being said, it's not a statistic you see mentioned often, and it fills in some of the blanks of the entire pandemic picture.
Mostly encouraging, from a Nobel winner in the field.
I think the Chinese are adapted to their government’s lying.
Westerners more naïve.
Huge music festival in Mexico City last weekend. Other sources say 100,000 attended. Guns and Roses played per contract.

Next thing you know they will stop recycling.
Two days ago there was a limit in my California town of one gallon of milk and one carton of eggs per customer.
