Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

The people that dismiss COVID as "only killing 1%" are just brutally bad at math.

It wouldn't be so bad, but it's getting the wrong 1%.

I was wrong...we might still pass 250k today. Texas boosted the number with 200 dead. Michigan's 123 with the solid silver medal.

175K cases so far reported and 1300 dead.

How is this not a big deal?

Cause Hovey and the rest of his ilk don't want it to be.

If it were a big deal, then they'd have to do something about it. So much easier to just dismiss it out of hand.

NH breaks 300 cases yesterday.

Breaks 400 today.

So some updates-

There are now 5 cases on the ship. All from the same party.

And my speculation seems pretty close- the original person was tested 72 hours prior to boarding. And then had symptoms quickly- well within the margin of time of incubation between the test and getting sick. Boarding was Saturday (so testing was Wed?) and the first positive test was Tuesday.
So the procedure should be just like pro sports- quick and immediate before boarding. Otherwise, given the required travel to cruise, you are playing with fire.

edit- now 7. And apparently if you have tested negative, you can fly home tomorrow. hmm... given that masks were not required until someone actually tested positive after showing symptoms, I'm not sure about that.

edit 2- reading through some more of a thread on cruise critic- it's quite safe to say that many of the passengers are selfish and stupid. They protested the fact that the ship required them to wear masks after an outbreak happened- as if they could get away with not wearing one. And the ship is letting people outside at specific times to prevent people from gathering- naturally, the few people outside are gathering w/o masks.

Wow, these people are both dumb and in denial- given they flew in the middle of a major uptick in cases.

False negatives are still like 67% on swabs as late as 3 days after infection. Which is only two days prior to symptoms on average.

Theres a reason they say wait 5 days after exposure.

These governors imploring everyone to ‘take it seriously’ while leaving schools, restaurants, and gyms open are complete ******* morons.

Over 183k new cases and almost 1400 deaths.

Imagine how many families are going to have a newly empty chair at the dinner table the week of Christmas. ****, man.

They were old, and going to die anyway, so what's the big deal?

Imagine the infections on Christmas Day. Nobody's going to take away Little Baby Walmart Day from the mouth breathers. There may not be a meemaw or pawpaw left by April Fools Day. At least we won't have to worry about the solvency of social security.

The 25th American to die this morning was the lucky 250,000th.

The world is at 1.3M and has already exceeded the April highs. Worldwide yesterday, 10k died and there were 650k new cases. That's one Washington DC getting sick every 24 hours.
