Big Brother is so 1984. We have Google planet now

“In order to help local and state governments, Google has began a reporting site called COVID-19 Community Mobility Report. These static reports aim to provide insights into what has changed in response to stay at home and other policies aimed at combating COVID-19. The reports chart movement trends over time by geography, across different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces, and residential. The data collected from mobile devices and smartphones is anonymously reported in order to protect individual privacy”

Boris was on his stoop the other day, joining in for the National Appreciation Clap or whatever they called it.

When was Boris Johnson last seen?

Or Prince Charles. Probably just a "stiff upper lip" speech, warning brits to steel themselves for more death. And wash your hands....

If you aren’t wearing your mask properly, it is of very little use. Here is the old timey protocol (from my wife, former Chief of Death investigations):

1. She explains the PPE training she received, in the day, when first treating TB patients. Your mask has to be individually fitted to your face. You put it on, then they put a hood over you and spray a scent. If you can smell it, your mask isn’t fitted and has to be adjusted. They spray your fingers with a UV liquid. You put your mask on, take it off. They put it under a UV light. If you touched the mask where you shouldn’t you need more practice. So follow the instructions that came with the mask to the letter.

2. You don’t let your mask touch anything else! Certainly not your clothes in the dryer. Suspend it by a wooden clothespin from an oven rack set at 160 degrees for thirty mins.

Not criticizing, just giving some facts that might help.

Well, the NYC hospitals provide a perfect test bed, albeit without a control group. Git ‘er done!

He didn’t say they didn’t.

Just pointing out details that others are ignoring.

I think there have already been enough Covid-19 cases that we can use the case data in lieu of an actual control group.

Video above is a bunch of charts comparing Covid-19 to all the other epidemics since 2000. It is from March - and already is showing an early jump on SARS. (And using the way-too-low Chinese figures.)

“Germany routinely attributes deaths to what ever convenient underlying comorbidity they can. At least, that was the report a week or so ago. But they are on the steep part of the curve now”

I asked one of the trolls on a different thread what deaths should be attributed to if 75% of a nursing home is wiped out in one month, and all had Coronavirus, considering that the average stay in a nursing home is 30 months.

1) Should the deaths be attributed to Coronavirus?
2) Should the deaths be attributed to underlying conditions (which, no doubt all of them have)?

He didn’t answer.

I should have watched the video first. So sad, and scary.

At Day 94, Covid-19 has 47,000 deaths.

At Day 94, Sars/Swine flu had 2,300 deaths.

Multiply China’s numbers of 4,000 by 10 and it is 87,000. And that is being kind to China. I think it is more like multiply by 100.

You can bet they’re working on the next version and they already have had their own vaccines against it.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if several RINOs aren’t, as well.”

Probably the majority of Republicans are owned by China, either directly or indirectly, which is why they allowed both China to become so strong economically and militarily, and were never bothered by our dependency on China. And it also explains why they hate Trump and continue to hate Trump.

...and that’s just the Republicans in DC.

We’d have been out of the woods if the entire world had shut down for 21 days at the beginning. Complete shut down. Don’t go outside for anything. No mail. No groceries. No walking the dog. Exceptions to healthcare, cops and a skeleton crew for utilities and all those living at work. But humans are wimps and would never stand for it. This is what China was banking on.

With 99% of everyone still out and about, this this monster will be with us for decades if not forever.

The west coast spread was slowed down by the Rocky Mountains. Obviously, the Appalachians are more populated than the Rockies and deserts so the east coast spread much more rapidly. Go back to the maps to see the movement. In rural areas, there may only be one or two grocery stores per county so everyone will shop there. All it takes is one infected person who likely commutes to the city to bring it in and shops at the one grocer and pumps gas at the main intersection in town.
