    Next up. How will Trumps SCODT come down today?

    The decision will tell a Yuge... A massive story on how the future will go with any question on Trump his AG and his DOJ.

    Let's all agree that we have a lot of incredibly stupid people in our country. I hope this info will soon be in an ad.

    Accidental poisonings in April rose after Trump suggested injecting disinfectants.
    The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported a 121 percent increase in poisonings from disinfectants and a 77 percent spike in bleach poisonings in April, compared with the same month last year.

    The AAPCC did not draw conclusions about what may have caused the significant increase in poisonings in April. Time magazine conducted the first analysis of the statistics as they relate to Trump.

    Somebody, clarify something for me based on what I heard Paul say. I think I heard him say was that kids don't get this (meaning the number is close to zero) based on 10 deaths of kids in NYC? That is what I thought I head him say, which is a really stupid thing to say to argue that schools should open. Kids may have it more than any group, but just may be more asymptomatic, but it is something we don't know because we are not testing for it. Sending kinds to back to school might make them vectors and spread the virus even more.

    (The following sentence is sarcasm because some people need to have this notification)
    And I love his concern for the kids not going to school because their parents can't work.

    Don't worry. I get to see him over on the Women's board and made that mistake even after 4 years of conversation (on and off).

    Yeah school is out until fall, but we are going to need the data created by the reopening to make an informed decision about how to handle that. I would bet just about any amount of money that in my school it is going to be a hot mess. As a general large numbers of kids are little germ factories.

    I've been in conversation with some teachers around here and everybody is planning for reopening, but is really, really nervous if not outright scared.

    From the Daily Mail, just so you know.

    1,000% !!!???

    Despite Trumps claims (LIES) that case numbers have dropped dramatically, a 1,000% rise sounds like he’s gaslighting his base again.

    “COVID-19 cases have spiked by 1,000% in a week in counties in Kansas and Tennessee as infections increase in areas across the US, unreleased White House taskforce report reveals - despite Trump's claim they're declining nationwide“

    Huge Tuesday bump in Illinois, over 4,000 new cases. Also looks like huge jump in testing, 29k tests. Cleared up a back log?

    It's amazing how many covid cases you catch when you actually perform tests. ;) One of the downside of these "OMG, huge spike!!" are due to hotspots getting tested and them finding a number of cases. Take the Tennessee spike, they tested a prison and found 1,300 inmates and 50 staff were positive...

    There is a very good English word that describes him. It's F@#kwit, although technically that's a noun and not an adjective.

    An 1176% increase is not all that hard when you're starting from a number as low as 50.

    I just woke up in Australia and find that the 7 or so pages of posts I caught up on contained about 2 pages of information and opinions.

    Med schools are different animals from universities, and are separate from them. They can take whoever they want, even sans undergrad degrees or MCATs.

    Several prominent female doctors 100 years ago used this quirk to get accepted to med school even as they were being denied opportunities for undergrad education.

    It's a long established quirk.

    Something that hasn't been widely noted about the WA state policy is that any county with no new cases in three weeks can ask to reopen. As of yesterday, eight are approved and ahead of the rest of the state; we're at about two weeks here in Whitman County, and one city councilman suggested last week we stop testing so there are no more positives.

    Are they really new or just newly accounted for due to exponential increase in testing? As in how many new people presented themselves for hospitalizations, are hospitalizations and deaths trending proportionally, or in the opposite direction?

    Here it is the opposite, our numbers have gone up substantially primarily due to substantial increase in testings but our hospitalizations and more importantly deaths per day have fallen

    Don't viruses tend to be unstable and constantly mutate/ Couldn't this thing mutate to less severe as opposed to more severe?
