Coronavirus: 5/18

1. The number is 5 off of what it was a week ago. Sort of a mystery how these numbers are compiled and the way they are headed over the next few months is definitely a guess.

2. “TOTAL: 91,981 dead”

   There goes Trump’s , 80,000 or 90,000 deaths.
   ( The guy isn’t even good at ballpark guesses.)

   • Trump is constantly making these “predictions” that are very obviously going to be invalidated within days or weeks at most, or should be obvious to anyone who is capable of observing and extrapolating trends – even based on conservative estimates.

     Well that’s the “power of positive thinking” for you. It’s Baghdad Bob meets Norman Vincent Peale.

3. The dullards on here who don’t want Hydroxychloroquine to be used for the CCP Virus evidently want more people to die from it.

   • If people are infected with it, that is one thing, but if you are not infected with it that is a different story.

     • Yes, but earlier you posted a chart purporting to show hydroxychloroquine’s ineffectiveness in treating SARS-Cov-2. Presumably, by doing so, your intent was to buttress Dr. Neil Cavuto’s citation of studies “proving” the same on Faux News.

       Infected patients don’t just walk into a hospital at an early stage and begin treatment. They are transported by others, with a slew of symptoms and struggling for breath, and are within a modest number of days of dying.

       There simply is no credible proof that hydroxychloroquine is dangerous or ineffective. There are, however, “studies” financed and performed by people with political, financial, and career interests at stake, and propaganda disseminated by actors INTERESTED in perpetuating the misery for similar reasons.

       None of us are experts, here. None of us know, for certain, at which point hydroxychloroquine should be administered. What we do know is EARLY is better than LATER.

       I despise Chump as much or more than you. Still, the proper course for you to take is to withhold judgment on Chump’s actions in this matter.

4. Apparently nigger Anglin is ending the racism on his government funded site. Weev wants a course change for whatever reason.

   • @Ron He’s been moaning about shekels forever. Apparently readers who want to be bullshitted prefer the NYT to a foul-mouthed fellow who calls for “rape gangs”.

5. For what’s it’s worth, Belgium has the highest case fatality rate in the world at 16.4%, while Sweden’s deat per million stands at 358 and the USA at 267.

   • Hey Mick when is the Han man going to start up on China? When are you? Aren’t the Chinese the new Muslims now? Aren’t you going to lead the way? When Mick?

   • Hard to believe Belgium got hit so hard, I like Belgian beer but it can be really pricey especially the good stuff like the tripel ales. There was a protest yesterday where they turned there backs to the prime minister because of how he handled it

6. There hasn’t been more than 2k deaths in a single day in nearly two weeks. Time to open the country up and put this godawful shit behind us. It was a bit more deadly than the common cold, but less deadly than driving. The lockdown did slow the virus spread, but harming the economy has proven to not be worth it. Both sides have been vindicated in certain respects, and in others proven wrong. So we can chalk this up to a learning experience, put it in the rearview, and start gearing up for November.
