The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[confucius say]

Not sure why you're patting yourself on the back here when you were way off.

Yea he lost me. The Wuhan lab-distributed virus has killed 157k last I saw earlier today.

[defiantdog]

Lol, so now it's the "lefts fault" the country is shut down? The "left" and all its mighty Trump hate, influenced Trump and his administration to compel the shutdown of travel, non-essential business, and social distancing for the rest of the country? Do you think about how these words come together to form sentences before you spout them out?

He didn't imply what your saying. The "left" has ridiculed every decision by the president. He never said it was the "lefts" fault. And I take it you aren't a small business owner because you definitely wouldn't be supporting the "left" right now.

[Jack Lambert]

Bullshit.

People can rightfully question and criticize a President for the poor choices (or lack there of) he's made during a major disaster/event, but that doesn't mean they are wishing for the maximum loss of life just to "get him".

I don't think people want other people to die but I do believe they want this to politically hurt Trump as much as possible. I have been going CNN, MSNBC all net works to get what info I can on the virus. Those two channels are nothing but attack and more attack. I have Liberal friends and all they post now is what they heard on those channels. "Never let crisis go to waste.:

If you go with the low end (50x) for the whole country, here's your new numbers...

35.5 million cases
New death rate: .0011

Right, this is the point that theyre making and the point of these studies. I'm not an expert in this stuff, but the people I'm speaking with are. More and more of these studies are starting to be done. I'll be interested to hear the results of the wake forest Baptist study in the next couple days to see if it matches the others research. That's why the results of these studies are so promising because it shows that that the mortality rate is much lower and the virus is not as lethal and severe as expected. It does give us hope.

[Commercecomet24]

Sigh...no, no they don't.

Are there assholes out in the world? Yes...of course, but the vast majority of people, on both sides of the aisle, want this to be over, with as little loss of life as possible. I love my wife and daughter, but being cooped up with them 24-7 is driving me nuts. Thank God for Xbox....

Is the Xbox for you or them lol!

Well, many of these decisions have warranted ridicule, or at least critical examination, especially when taken into context with the timeline of action. Not only that, but tell me any similar moment in American history, in terms of scope and scale, where the actions of a President aren't magnified to the point of this level of scrutiny. Off hand, I can only really think of the few months post-911; there were a few detractors, but for the most part W had unilateral support in the aftermath of that particular disaster.

Also, perhaps what gaslights this situation the most, is when Trump proposes a reasonable policy or idea (i.e., the re-open the country phases plan), yet he immediately undermines himself and his own administration by going full ****ing retard on Twitter (e.g., LIBERATE!!!).

You can call the reaction to these things "liberal hate", but that is just lazy and sycophantic. In fact, most of the journalists I follow are of the conservative variety, and almost across the board, they ridicule pretty much the exact same things you hear from likes of CNN, MSNBC, etc. This isn't some conspiracy to "get the Prez".

Is the Xbox for you or them lol!

Lol, it is for me.

I've been playing Division 2 (a Tom Clancy shooter) online with a buddy of mine who lives in Starkville pretty much daily since lock down started.

This is pretty cool. Real time reproductive numbers in each state.

Indeed, and you as well, bud.

I've also got my garden to keep me busy. I built a fence to keep out the rabbits and started a few seeds a couple weeks ago......and today woke up to 4 inches of snow.....in mid April.....so yeah...

Thanks! Oh no, snow ain't good for a garden!

My only issue is that states aren't testing like they were. So the numbers aren't really accurate.

Not trying to flame you but I'd like to know what could he have done differently?

Pretty sure most, if not all, has been covered already in this (now) 112 page thread. I hope you don't want me to synthesize all that, lol?

I can certainly re-cap some of the main issues if you like (and I'll definitely provide sources), but that will take me a bit to put together.

Happy to do it, though I would prefer to wait until I'm not drinking**

And can safely say I'm more interested in the Severe weather thread. Hey REF come back out of retirement!!


Buncha dick measuring (on both sides) bitches. 112 pages for a back and forth between basically 8 posters?

Tell you how bad it's been. Msstate7 has been relatively calm during all of this. Kudos 7.


Will say I've been entertained and informed. Carry on.
