I hope every single one of the congressmen/women in both the house and the senate get crabs from a public toilet seat.

Democrats are blocking it because they want to add a ton of money for Planned Parenthood, and other unrelated crap, plus student loan forgiveness.

I think most rational people can agree cases are underreported by AT LEAST 2x. That puts CFR right around 0.5%. Not great but pretty well in line with what Reveille and other medical authorities have posited.

Yeah yeah I know deaths lag cases I know, but point remains regarding this being a much more manageable CFR

I was told that we shouldn't worry about losing our freedoms? Yet this is a perfect example of the kind of **** that will take those freedoms.

Hmmmm....

414/32,356 = 1.27%

Today's CFR rate (new cases/deaths) = 1.37%, so I'm confused how his number for 3/22 went down (unless he's just looking at previous dates).

Did the simple math show this decline. Reverse exponential? I'm not understanding.

Trump back up with closing remarks and to answer questions. He inherited a broken and obsolete system, but he is making it much better as fast as he can. really exciting about the new 45 minute one.

The hospital ship USS Mercy heading to California. Trump is super impressed by them and their operating rooms with stainless steel and they are as good as any hospitals in the nation. USS Comfort being sent to New York harbor soon, but needs some upgrades I think.

Q: Sen Paul
A: Hasn't talked to Paul in a while. (romney, garza, scott, and Paul) Trump didn't know romney was in isolation and said thats too bad was accused of sarcasm and he quickly denied. Reporter asked about the upcoming votes. may need to create a way of letting them vote from an outside location due to this. there may be a reason they can't... not sure. the stimulus package has a long way to go. Trump being very bipartisan "we all want to get the same place, just different methods, we all want to help the workers" hopefully they can get back to their amazing companies soon. Doesn't want stock buybacks. doesn't want bail out and then having stock buybacks. He may be a republican, but he doesn't like that. he wants them to take care of their workers.


WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THESE UNCLE BEN'S RICE ADS

Q: when it comes to defense protection act.. governors are pleading for this.. why not using it yet?
a: We are. Also, we aren't nationalizing business. GM and Ford called asking about how they could help by making ventilators. They want to help and letting them step up is much better. We have the threat of doing it if we need to, but that is the worst way to do it. Ask Venezuela.

sorry! Another call as business is being shut down :/

Governors have been really kind and saying good things, most politicians saying nice things.

Q: Are you considering an executive order to free elderly non-violent prisoners
A: We are looking at that yes.

Q: Why was a post eliminated.. ? I didnt understand the context but Trump basically just said it was wrong. CDC is augmenting its office in China. Our relationship with China is great, but wish they would have told us 3 months sooner because we could have saved a lot of lives.

Q: self quarantine and direct threat to function of senate and getting these packages passed.
a) hopes we won't need to extend the fifteen days, speaking about disparity of cases,


We have to help the workers, we have to save the companies. Once we are done with this war, this country is going to bounce back like never before.


Missed the question... no clue what this is about. General Milli does not play games. She was terribly abused and they got her out and she is back with her parents.

Trump is letting his people do their work. If he felt like him calling would save even one life, he would do it, but he can let them do their work.


Q: different aides have said different things
Gary Cohen: is there a need to discuss when the economy can come back.. tension between health and economy. another aide wanted everything shut down hard.
a) there is a middle ground and I'm trying to find it. We have shut things down early.

Q: how do you keep NYC from being next Italy cause they gonna run out of supplies.
A) ....isn't that what this press conference was about? Trump is trying to nicely say that she should have listened to THE WHOLE FRICKING PRESS CONFERENCE. He also complimented Bill DeBlasio.

If the package doesn't pass, it is pure politics.


okay, all done.

Shouldn't fatality rate be measured out of dead + recovered? Constantly changing the denominator (new cases) makes it inconsistent to me.

Then you should be calculating CFR based on the infected numbers from a week ago.

I believe so, but the reporter was speaking pretty quickly, so I didn't get a good grasp on it while I was typing.

I know that when they answered, I believe President Trump had the FEMA guy respond, then he said something about how we are working with China and the CDC has offices all over the world and is augmenting it's presence in China. They mentioned the name of an organization which I couldn't catch and said that they called it CDC China?

IIRC, it sounded like the post had something to do with the Chinese gov knowing about it and maybe a mention of a lab or something?

Appreciate that. Didn't think I was that far gone for someone to choose the ignore button. Hell, I will typically even admit to my mistakes. But the idea of coming here for information that is somewhat fact based is waning terribly.

So bang a camel, get sick, and blame it on Chinese snake flu? Pandemic i tell ya.

If our US experts thought this was a real threat, they would not be flying people back to the US and letting them out of quarantine. This thread should merge under the Qanon thread.
Any updates from the pandemic deniers?

My county just announced a lockdown, but surely this is just some conspiracy

It isn't a doomsday prediction. It is a realistic prediction based on what we know. If you want to use CFR to make yourself feel better, at least compare it to the right number. Those people died 7-8 days earlier. We just didn't know it at the time.

For what it's worth, I discovered that my father committed suicide by shooting himself in the heart when I went to go check on him when he didn't answer his phone.

One thing that experience taught me is how precious and fragile life is. It also taught me to face problems head on without rose colored glasses. Bad things happen everyday and what we are going through is about to be rough. Hopefully, the social distancing will help. Hell, the biggest miracle ever would be the drug concoction Trump is pimping actually working.

A month and a half ago, people on this thread were claiming that a global pandemic was approaching and that everyone should be making preparations to quarantine. Fools mocked them and claimed it was a conspiracy.

Now, the same people who were warning others a month ago are discussing case statistics. The same Fools who were wrong a month ago are once again ridiculing them.

Why should anyone listen to the Fools?
