The Coronavirus, not the beer

No just the clear thousands of seed infections that you ignored as if it was only a few. You've been thoroughly debunked and now choose to have an absurd reply because you're embarassed you were bested by such a dimwit.

I am so outwitted that I still don't understand. So more people are getting infected and dying now? This isn't the same as before? It is just so confusing.

For something that has been around since November... seems like 25k worldwide deaths is a relatively smallish number. Seems the bigger issue is the all at once strain on the system

That would be a relevant observation if the whole population of the earth had it since November. Obviously it spreads from place to place... But yes, the strain is the real crisis issue.
 
If its rate of growth in coronavirus cases continues, the New York City metropolitan area will suffer a more severe outbreak than those experienced in Wuhan, China, or the Lombardy region of Italy.

There is no guarantee, of course, that current trends will continue. What has happened to this point can't be used to predict what will happen next. It is possible that social distancing will soon slow or arrest the growth of cases.

But what can be said is that the New York metro area has had less success in flattening the curve, at this point in its outbreak, than Wuhan or the Lombardy region did at the same point in theirs. And some other American metropolitan areas appear to be on a similar path.

I don't think things will get as bad in NY as in Lombardy. While the city has not had as much success in flattening the curve, it has better prepared itself in terms of ventilators and other aspects of capacity that have worked against Lombardy.

The graph at the bottom of article on growth rates at given case counts is a good way of comparing the situation across different regions. I would prefer a similar graph for fatalities, since that is not affected by how aggressively testing is being conducted.

The president of the USA is literally letting Americans die cause he has a fragile ego

He’s a poor excuse for a human

Much less President
 
this Gregory Rigano guy fascinates me

he is a sort of anti-hero

the James Dean of our times

he has certain things in common with a poster around here

a certain charisma...a certain je ne sais quoi
 
The results of the drug in various studies are still showing very good results.

This guy is obviously a scumbag. I worked in Melville for many years. Small world.

JUST IN:
Trump signing statement on coronavirus bill says he’ll override a provision

requiring the newly created inspector general to report to Congress any time agencies

refuse to give him/her requested info.


The CARES Act was a bipartisan deal, and the President was in negotiations.

With $2 trillion in federal spending, oversight is not an elective;

it’s an imperative.

Taxpayers deserve better.
 
The President says he has told the leader of the federal government's coronavirus response

not to call the governors of Michigan and Washington state, two of the biggest hotspots

in the country, because they are "not appreciative

#Breaking News:

“Don’t be a cutie pie!” Trump gives bizarre, condescending answer to question about ventilators

Trump is taking a lot of criticism for the botched initial response (rightfully so, it was terrible).

Interesting that state and local governments aren’t drawing the same criticism.
 
States shouldn't have to bid against each other and against the Fed govt for supplies. A fair price should be set by the govt and orders sent out based on urgency and need. The bidding is a waste of time.

Thats fine. Those governors should announce anyone who voted for Trump will be last priority for treatment if their hero denies the state anything.
