Yeah, if you lurked on this thread you’d have seen that link (and several others just like it) posted many times.
Welcome. Stick around.
The greatest troll in the history of mankind would be if Trump invoked the Defense Production Act and ordered New York Times & Washington Post to stop printing newspapers and start manufacturing toilet paper.— Boomieleaks (@Boomieleaks) March 24, 2020
I sense that this is true as well.
Yep. I don’t EVER get the cruise thing...but, especially during Coronavirus season.
Crazy.
Just the thought of having those, em, departed ones on board, is kinda creepy. I imagine the fridge can only hold so...many.
It’s like a horror movie.
Easter Monday, baby. We all go back to normal.
7 Days later, the market crashes, we lock down again, and Trump is accused of malpractice.
It doesn’t matter if he backtracks or not. People will say that is what they heard and they will flow back into the clubs and diners.
That’s OK. The thinner the herd, the faster we get to herd immunity.
It’s like an agatha christie novel
He’s not going to back off.
But almost nobody is going to comply if he doesn’t.
Still, I think he’ll entirely repudiate the notion.
I really don’t believe he is insane.
Normal exists all around us. You just need to achieve escape velocity to reach it. Lol.
are you sure you werent reading a thread here ;-)
Because I saw the same thing earlier today here.
rats taking over NOLA. Seems like a good time to try to kill them.
New Orleans streets are overtaken by RATS as tourists stay away from the city and Louisiana is hit by 3,315 coronavirus cases and 137 deaths
Local boards are mostly the woe is me crowd. They claim they can’t leave their kids home when they go to Walmart (sure, lets get the kids sick). Ok, WM is open 13 hrs/7 days a week. They admit their husbands work. Hmm, so hubby works the very same 13 hours WM is open and he never gets a day off so the wives can’t leave the kids home with daddy - ever.
Nope, sorry, don’t believe it. Drama queens. They’re out shopping all day just like before so don’t have time to make dinner so the only place to get dinner is at the drive thru and the kids are tired of chicken nuggets.
Ugh. Cry me a river.
Oh boy....that is going to be interesting
Ships are a floating disaster waiting to happen. You cant trust these tests as seen by Patient 0 in Washington
Yachter is an idiot
I'm not a doctor, but I have not heard any evidence that children are spreading the virus in significant numbers. I think that people who's immune system kills off the virus before they present symptoms are unlikely to be very contagious. If the virus was replicating in large numbers, their immune response would cause them to present symptoms. Children under 5 are at more risk of serious infection and are also the ones you pick up, sit on your lap, etc, so they might be slightly more of a threat to get you sick, or you get them sick.
Yachter is *probably* Geffen.
Comments seem to indicate that’s a majority opinion anyways.
Anyone know if there’s going to be a White House Coronavirus Briefing today?
Age of consent in the Grenadines is 15.
I reread your text. I missed the implications with regards to a herd immunity on first read. This virus is not like any other we have dealt with... one article reported that it had mutated into 8 strains already. I was going to post it, but I did not trust the veracity of the article.
My question is: The number column in your post is what you’re saying is projected for a trajectory of deaths at the current rate?
I “might” agree, if there were not any mitigation factors being implemented.
Because of our nation’s collective responses to date, and with the likely prospect that they might intensify, I believe the death rate will be staunched, long before reaching anywhere near the high figure depicted.
What may be hard to stomach, will be the ongoing need for drastic measures, which will likely become the new normal, for the foreseeable future.
The skirmish between the flu bros faction and the fear-pers faction, here at FR, might become a battle royale between the sons of liberty and the thumb suckers- version 2.0.
I’m all for hunkering down and letting the wave ripple through, then- I’m out of the bunker, fixing bayonet, and dealing with it. I guess that makes me a thumb sucker. Whatever. As Congressman, James Traficant, (D.) Ohio, RIP, was fond of saying: Beam me up Scotty.
Sadly, if the crematorium worker from back when was even half truthful, those urns will likely be filled from a clean out pile with who knows who’s ashes.
NOLA Mayor full of blame game and NO responsibility.
I did find it interesting that the DM included this bit of history - that we’ve oft talked about, here, on these threads...
..Worrying parallels are being drawn between the Mardi Gras and the 1918 parade in Philadelphia which has been touted as one of the main causes for the state’s spread of Spanish Flu, which devastated the area more than most and cost 16,000 lives in Philadelphia and wiped out about a third of the world’s population.
In 1918, when World War I was coming to a close, US cities held Liberty Loan parades bringing in thousands of revellers.
When the Spanish Flu pandemic ramped up, St. Louis canceled its parade but Philadelphia decided to plough on with its celebration in the city of 1.7 million people.
The virus had reached Philadelphia on September 19, 1918, infecting 600 sailors within a matter of days.
The parade took place on September 28, with 200,000 people in attendance.
Just three days later, there were 635 new cases in Philadelphia and every bed in the city’s hospitals was filled, according to UPenn.
Six weeks later, 12,000 people had died and there were 47,000 cases.
By the end of the pandemic, at least 16,000 had died and more than half a million had fallen ill.
By contrast, Saint Louis’ death toll reached 700.
A doctor on FNC earlier today said he was taking Plaquenil as a preventative.
