Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

[aparch]

I don't know. I must have missed it then. I saw it yesterday for the first time on social media. The minions have picked it up.

FOX News was pushing the issue April 1st, and many replies to the lies include similar wording as this one in an effort to correct the gaslighting.

Not surprised the minions are pushing it again a week later.

And don't forget, it was squandered for a reason. It was squandered bc the president wanted to protect the economy bc of his reelection needs.

YOU might value your life more than the economy- but your president doesn't. https://t.co/Lx1qAXpZwh

I think the rest of the country will be spared NY's experience primarily because the rest of the country doesn't have the mix of perfect pandemic factors that NY has. NY has the combination of being a hub for international travel, extreme population density, heavy reliance on public transportation, and a work/living arrangement in which arteries of people flow into and out of the hub (NYC) by public transportation each day, returning to Long Island, CT, NJ, etc..., by night as they spread the disease. 5.7 million ride the subway in NYC each day. That's more than the entire population of Minnesota.

What part of the "experience" are you talking about?

Maybe the total raw numbers, but the hospitalization and death rates are higher in other parts of the country. There's news that New Orleans death rate is over double New York City's.

Someone should point out that the "Hoax" claim was quite a bit after the Senate vote to not impeach him. So he had more than enough time to do ANYTHING, but just downplayed it and called it a hoax.

Given how many times the russians have complained that the impeachment is the only thing they can focus on, when the Democrats were actually doing work- I guess it's not a surprise that they have the attention span and focus of a squirrel.

No doubt that in individual specific locations or cities it will be a mess. I'm sure King County, Washington, was a real treat to be around a few weeks ago.

But here's an example of what I was talking about. Minnesota has about a fourth the population of NY. I don't think MN will ultimately see anywhere close to a fourth of the cases NY will see, or a fourth of the deaths that will occur in NY. Will there be individual locations in Minnesota where things will be bad? Probably, but it won't be the same experience as NYC. I just use MN as an example because it's where I happen to be, but I think the same will be true for Michigan as well, for example.

Can't remember if this was posted already, but the contrast with our own Head of State is remarkable.

But are they even 1/4 the amount prepared? Detroit was not, and that's why the death rate is so high in Wayne County and Detroit.

Pure numbers, sure. The impact relative to the facilities are the real issue.

The "experience" is more than just the raw numbers.

I don't think you're wrong.

NYC is a global city, so the virus appeared there long before Trump took the threat seriously. The density helped it spread.

Was that me? Maybe.

Either way, I used to be a loonitarian righty. There are several posters on here who have dragged me leftward. I’ll bet you can dig up some posts that are absolute doozies from about ten years ago.

It was you. It was basically the only time you told me I was being a jerk, and I was so shocked because of how different that is from your usual tone that it made me pay attention to what you were saying. And your argument reminded me of things I believe about presumption of innocence and equality before the bar, and embarrassed me into changing.

Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost, and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

You understand why I cannot possibly change my position on this . . . .

Yes, I do.

NYC is a global city, so the virus appeared there long before Trump took the threat seriously. The density helped it spread.

And the example of what's going on there has helped other states and cities where the virus popped up later avoid the catastrophes that NY has suffered.

Btw the Captain who got fired because he asked for help for his sailors...tested positive.

He tried to be Sam Damon and he got Courtney Massengale'd by his so-called superiors.

I have a co-worker that brought this idea up at least 3 weeks ago: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00973-x

it seems like moving forward we could be testing sewage treatment systems in cities as an early warning indicator for outbreaks of various diseases

Popular Science had an article about this a few weeks ago. That’s probably where he saw it.

no, he came up with the idea based on a paper from The Lancet that had a graph that how long patient fecal samples contained the virus. He has a PhD in computational biology.
