Huh?

Deaths seem to be trending down finally

Anybody else have to hear about how the virus is man-made using funding from George Soros, the Rothchild's, the Rockefeller's, and Bill Gates every time they talk to their parents?

Ughhh …nooooo


What is it with people and Bill Gates or Soros?

I admire you Space…if anyone in my family said anything like that I just wouldn’t call them again

space….what about 5G…isn't that the cause!

I just tell her I love her, stay isolated, nice talking to her, I but I gotta go now. The sad and ironic thing was my mom had a place out on the country in isolation and sold it a few months ago so she could go live in a senior center, where she could meet people and socialize more.

The person I feel really bad for is my brother, who lives in the same town with her. And got laid off once this happened. And who has a wife who apparently believes the same BS my mom does (he doesn't.)

No talk of G5 yet, I don't let the conversation get that far.

Brazil ends chloroquine study early after patients suffer deadly heart complications.

Shocking.

“But what do you have to lose?”

This is just unbelievable


If we hadn’t shut down we would have lost millions of people

It always looks like that on Mondays.  Reporting slows down over the weekend.  Plus, deaths trail existing cases by 10-20 days, and cases haven't really dropped yet.

Well we shall see

2000+ on Friday
1800+ on Saturday
1500+ on Sunday

Are you saying reporting of deaths slows on weekends or reporting of new cases?

Number of new cases has been steadily around 30K for the past seven days (ranging from 25 K to 35K). I think that's much more a function of number of people being tested than number of people actually sick.

This model says the US deaths peaked on Friday. We'll see.

It also says Italy was supposed to be at 300+,200+ and 200+ the past three days, when in reality they've been 600+, 400+ and 500+ (so far today). So the steep drop off that they were predicting from Italy is not happening. They're even exceeding the max of the predicted range.

Obviously if so many people stay home we flatten the curve but the issue is that during this time the federal government was supposed to be getting its act together so that we can prevent more people from getting sick (ramping up testing, tracing, policies on isolating people) and when in the future more people get sick we are not overwhelmed …also develop a national strategy for reopening and even coordinate things on a global scale….this was why we have been doing all this mitigation

Does anyone in their right minds think this has and is happening?

They haven't asked me to work on anything of that nature, so I have my doubts.

The answer is no yet there are a lot of people who think the administration is doing a wonderful job.
