Coronavirus

[fishtm2001]

What good is testing when there is no way to stop it? Either way the treatment is the same. One good think about testing though is we can see how less deadly this is shaping up to be.

Quick identification of cases, quick treatment for those people and immediate isolation to prevent spread. Early testing also helps to identify anyone who came into contact with infected people so they too can be quickly treated (well at least in countries that are capable of contact tracing, which we, under donald, ain't).

"After months of dismissing mask-wearing for halting the spread of the coronavirus, after refusing to lead a national effort to stop it, after 130,000 Americans died, after setting a single-day record number of new COVID-19 cases (over 50,000) twice this week, after months of daily reprising Kevin Bacon’s “All is well” scene from “Animal House,” Donald Trump, acting president of the United States, has had a “come to Tony” (Fauci) moment.

Some people still listen to this maroon. 130,000(soon to be 200,000) Americans never will again.

"Researchers at the Social Cognition Center Cologne and the University of Bremen conducted three experiments, each involving more than 500 adults from the United States. A sizable number of them did not see the point of social distancing or mask wearing because they made a simple mistake about statistics. People tend to think coronavirus spreads linearly when it really spreads exponentially. "

I did. I can feel my tummy brewing but it isn't ready yet. I like to wait until I am turtle-heading before I go.

Yeah, let's confine people to close quarters, which is how we know it spreads, then act all shocked when we open back up and more people are sick, then threaten to do it again, so more people get sick, rinse and repeat.

China is.

Starting to hear data from ems records and it's not good. People afraid of the kung flu dying at home from stroke and heart attacks. Rename it the media flu pandemic or the to much information pandemic.

China is.

The US accounts for 5 percent of the world’s number of annual deaths, the country now has 29 percent of the world’s total Covid-19 deaths. In contrast, China, which accounts for 18 percent of the world’s total number of annual deaths, now has about 2 percent of the world’s total Covid-19 deaths. This is as of May 18.

Better move to China seems like it's a safer country

We have a tremendous problem in this country with obesity and related obesity medical issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and other cardiovascular issues, all high risk factors for the kung flu. I'm sure this is affecting the death numbers greatly.
