The Coronavirus, not the beer

[Runnin]

makes sense...at a certain point testing is a waste of resources

It's a horrible situation.

Italy update (3/20/2020)

5,986 new cases

627 deaths

very high mortality rate is due to a combination of things: old population, overwhelmed medical system, lots of smokers. About two-thirds of fatalities are men. Quite a gender gap. Might reflect more men being smokers. Or could be that men are less resilient in the face of certain things.

I thought the initial word was the virus wasn't affecting smokers. Is that wrong?

I havent read that it doesnt affect smokers. I did read an article today discussing the possibilitt that the difference in mortality rates between men and women could be due to smoking.

It has to do with pulmonary health. Smoking is a factor but not as big of one.

[Runnin]

Several weeks ago I read a report from China about Corona victims that implied that a low percentage of victims were heavy smokers, and that perhaps dirty lungs from smoking might be an inhospitable host for the virus, but the observation was admittedly too soon to say for sure.

The data on Iceland is pretty interesting. Worth taking a look at if you haven't yet. Good to see the US apparently really starting to ramp up their testing big time. 5500 new positives extrapolates to over 50.000 total test results coming in per day, if those positives came via testing. That's a huge number that will likely increase dramatically. Hopefully the data coming in can help whoever figure out what to do after these next two weeks.

Cuomo is fantastic. Dems have to be thinking to make him VP.

I like him in 10 minute doses. He is good but a little too fond of himself.

yeah. No way he goes on ticket.

Biden is gonna pick someone younger and he already said he’s gonna Pick a female. Would be crazy of him to change course.

A contrast. A tale of two executives.


"I accept full responsibility. If someone is unhappy, if somebody wants to blame someone, or complain about someone, blame me. There is no one else who is responsible for this decision."
-Governor Andrew Cuomo, on his decision to shut down New York businesses during quarantine.


"I take no responsibility."
-President Trump, on the US' slow response to testing and treating COVID-19

A good boss is generous in sharing the credit for success and takes more than his share of the blame when things go wrong. We've all had good and bad bosses, at least those of us of a certain age, and know the difference.

Sounds like Bobby Cox.

I don't believe they're speaking Mandarin or Canto.

My grandfather always warned us about the Hakka speaking people.

I've been seeing my right-wing friends share this on facebook... this will give thethe an enormous boner. Just remember folks... these are grown adults reading this stuff and sharing it.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CORONOVIRUS
The following details the origin of the Coronovirus and its relationship to Bill Gates, Barak Obama, the deep state in the USA and the Chinese government. While I might find retaliation from FB, its important to convey these facts to you. I did not write a vast majority of the following however I have found similar facts in my research to date. President Trump indicated the Coronavirus is nobody's fault unless one goes to its origin in a recent press event on 3/15 or 3/16/2020. Thank you, Author Unknown.
HERE'S THE TRUTH BEHIND IT ALL:
Bill Gates & Barack Obama released a docuseries on Netflix called PANDEMIC in January right before the Wuhan virus was "discovered."
The docuseries pushed the need for the Gates' Foundation to receive funding to carry on virus research to prevent the next PANDEMIC!
Bill Gates funded the Wuhan lab in China that released the Wuhan virus. Bill Gates' was a member of China's Academy of Sciences who built the lab and he was awarded their highest honor.
The Wuhan virus was originally developed at the University of North Carolina by NIH grants approved by the Obama administration in 2012.
The NIH defunded the UNC research in 2016 so the Communist Chinese scientists left UNC and took their work to the NEWLY BUILT Wuhan lab in 2017 - funded by Gates & pals.
The head of the Harvard Chemistry department, with ties to Gates & Epstein, was arrested for accepting bribes from the Communists. Did Epstein know what was coming?
The Pirbright Institute, funded by Bill Gates, owns the "patent" on the Coronavirus genetic sequencing. They did simulation testing on a global PANDEMIC in 2018.
Bill Gates & Barack Obama docuseries marketed the need for a global "universal" vaccine to replace all other flu vaccines. I believe it will be designed to deliver a human chip via nanotechnology.
12,469 people in the US died of H1N1 flu (from Mexico) under Obama in 2009, many of them children, because he waited 6 months to do anything & never closed the border.
The media said nothing about fatalities from H1N1 but is creating a huge panic around the 20 US deaths from the Wuhan virus to destroy the US economy before the election.
Over 36,000 people in the US have died from the common flu this year and the media says NOTHING about that - but is creating a huge panic around the 20 US deaths from the Wuhan virus.
18 out of the 20 total US deaths from the Wuhan virus have come from a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington - the home area of Bill Gates.
Half the staff at that nursing home have been infected with Wuhan virus. They appear to be the carriers. The nursing home draws employees from a large Chinese population across the border in Canada. I believe Gates is placing carriers in vulnerable locations for the narrative and funding.
Right after the first deaths were reported in Bill Gates home area, the Governor declared a national emergency & Congress approved over $8 billion - even though Trump asked for only a quarter of that. Much of the funding will flow to Gates' global partners.
Suddenly Bill Gates says his "foundation" will offer in-home testing kits where you swab your nose with a Q-Tip and send it to his labs. How convenient!
19 out of the 21 who tested positive on the Princess Cruise ship were CREW MEMBERS. Meaning the crews are carriers and are infecting passengers. Who put them there?
The virus started in South Korea because the leaders of a "doomsday" cult went to Wuhan, China and went back and infected 8,000 of their members. Who paid them to do that?
Iran's leaders suddenly became infected after Iran's foreign leader met with John Kerry in Munich and laughed about the virus on camera. Almost like he was told to go home and create panic.
All those videos out of Communist China of them disinfecting the streets, people dying on the streets and thrashing bodies - were all fake and sent out by Communist propagandists.
Real videos show Hong Kong freedom fighters being rounded up in handcuffs and sent off to the "hospital" where it's likely their organs are harvested and they are cremated.
Real videos show elderly people in Communist China trapped in buildings and left to die with no food.
Real videos show that Communist China installed major NEW surveillance cameras and technology to monitor people on the street & in their offices since the virus was released.
Real videos show the Chinese people yelling "IT'S ALL FAKE" from high rises as the Communists pretend to care for them on the streets below.
They are now forced to use an app which tells them when they can come and go and tracks their every move. How did the Communists suddenly develop this technology in a month? This was part of the plan.
After Trump closed travel from Communist China in January, the Chinese blamed the US and threatened to hold back our pharmaceuticals unless we opened travel back up again. They didn't expect him to do that - that thwarted their plans to seed the US with more cases.
I believe the virus is no more dangerous than the common cold - but has been engineered to be highly infectious and impact the elderly & sick. Thankfully, it is NOT affecting children & young adults like pandemic flu does.
I believe the virus was unleashed by the Communist Party to scare people back into their homes and stop the Hong Kong & Taiwanese pro-freedom protests.
I believe the virus was unleashed by the Communists to crash the US economy & drive people away from Trump rallies, as well as Bernie Sanders' rallies. China has a lot invested in Joe Biden and essentially paid him (via Hunter Biden) a billion dollars to not make a big deal about the South China Sea islands...
PLEASE LOOK AFTER OUR ELDERS!!!!!
