NSR: Coronavirus: A global Pandemic.

I think its more likely he will distribute one for free to a company owned and run by some of his cronies and they will charge Americans for it (Republican areas first of course).

 

Are these numbers accurate?

So serious question, since the 2016 election has Trump/GOP won any really big election results? Anything that shows movement towards him and the party? To my memory it seems like every election has moved dramatically in the democrats direction every time there is an actual chance for the american people to express an opinion on trump at the ballot box. That doesn't mean democrats always win, just that the center of gravity has shifted decidedly to the left.

Given how close the 2016 election was, that's an argument against everyone that says that Trump will easily win again.

Am I conveniently forgetting much evidence to the contrary?

 

You'd control the sipping routes for fentanyl. You could make fly-over country your colonies.

 

On the subject of my avatar, it is worth noting that Sean Penn's charity (CORE, which was originally focused on Haitian earthquake relief) has stepped up and set up drive through COVID 19 testing sites in Los Angeles. You might even argue that Spicoli has done more to fight this virus than POTUS has.

Doubt it.

Too funny.

 

Peru had a jump of 30% new cases today - possibly some weekend-delayed reports or testing uptick but alarming nevertheless. Deceased up to 12% as well.

 

Chris Cuomo looks feverish and sweaty....

 

I thought the same thing.

 

President Dumbfvck's disdain of the "deep state" may have caused him to not take coronavirus seriously

'Unfolding as it did in the wake of his impeachment by the House and in the midst of his Senate trial, Mr. Trump's response was colored by his suspicion of and disdain for what he viewed as the 'Deep State' — the very people in his government whose expertise and long experience might have guided him more quickly toward steps that would slow the virus, and likely save lives."

Yeah, but you could also say that Australia, Canada and South Korea have fared well (all men). And the country that will probably end up with the highest death rate among highly developed democracies is Belgium. Currently led by a woman. Albeit in a dysfunctional minority government.

I haven’t been around as much with homeschooling, work and a lot of solo parenting, but are you guys looking at Belgium to all? Per capita, they’ve moved up to third highest in the death rally behind #1 Spain and #2 Italy (excluding the San Marinos of the world). They’re also much earlier in the process than either and Belgium had a ridiculously aggressive growth rate. What is going on there?

 

They've now updated the graphs and the spikes have disappeared. They now show a continued flattening on the world and USA daily numbers of new infections.

 

Yeah. I never got that. But seriously, I noticed the trajectory about 10 days ago and thought nothing of it. But it just gets worse. They’re outpacing Spain and Italy at the same stage. I get that some of it is a small country issue, so if you took Madrid or Lombardy separately, they’d look far worse. I find it unusual that the media isn’t talking about this though.

I think when all of this is over you will find that income inequality has decreased from both sides of the spectrum. Rich white people are likely to get this disease in large numbers, and elderly rich white people will die at the same rate as elderly poor PoC.

To paraphrase another erstwhile BigSoccer poster:

 

It was a nice little story and I really appreciated it.

Only difference with the real thing is that the guy who defied the wind died alone, while the particular fool we're talking about not only died himself but also jeopardized the lives of the people who trusted him and "defied the virus with him" on his request.

 

I am aware that, not being an American, I can't possibly keep up with every cultural reference you guys make on this thread, but can I have a short brief about the story behind that particular avatar? As an European guy, I have to admit I didn't recognize him.

 

You can add San Francisco to that list. Mayor Breed shut down sporting events in February and ordered the shelter-in-place in mid March, with the rest of the Bay Area quickly following. San Francisco only has 13 recorded deaths, all the neighboring counties are in double digits or less. She was on the ball very early, starting a emergency-operations center in January which was put in the Moscone Center convention hall, a sprawling building that allows many people to work while also socially distancing.

But from now NZ and Australia have an advantage the San Francisco Bay Area can't have - they can control their borders.

 

I wasn't talking about homicides. You have more chance of surviving a knife attack than a gunshot. There were 44,036 stabbings between July 2018 and June 2019.

There were 149 homicides in London in 2019 compared to 318 in New York but most of the murders in New York involved firearms.

There were 1,760 reported rapes in New York in 2019 compared to 7,613 in London.
