I have a weird friend that has doubled down on this whole media hype train and hasn't given up at all.
I bet you can guess what his political affiliation is.
It’s actually the opposite. They labeled Covid deaths a bunch of other shit and now realize it. Your state alone had tens of thousands of deaths above normal in the months preceding the official deaths. Labeled as pneumonia or death from other causes. It’s killed more than the approaching 60k that’s the official number.Quote:

Maybe India is lying too? Maybe CNN is just making shit up?
How does India, a country of 1.3 billion people, have around 1,000 coronavirus deaths?
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/28/india...hnk/index.html
Lockdown or not, it has to be some combination of that TB vaccine and heat Being locked down given their numbers and filth, it would still be astronomical. So if they aren’t lying on an extraordinary scale, it’s more than lockdown.Quote:

If the numbers were accurate originally, counting Covid deaths as Covid deaths rather than pneumonia before we had tests., we probably are already at above 70k. We will slow as it warms. Probably be somewhere around 100k as summer approaches. Wane for awhile. Everyone is calling for a bad fall and winter. Assuming it takes awhile to ramp back up and we are at a lower starting baseline, I’d guess we lose at least 200k by the years end. I think that’s conservative given we would be there in 10 weeks at our current rate.
It’s being optimistic that summer does slow it. If not we will be at 500k.
It wouldn’t shock me if we lose 300k. Those initial models that predicted it at 160-250k seem to be accurate. The million ones if we hadn’t locked it down seem accurate also .
Druff, I know that you like to be first to post about fucked up things the government does because of endemic political corruption, but I rushed to post about this story because I was constipated today and spent a bit of time on the john in the truck stop I’m at. Please excuse me for stealing your thunder on this story.
Over 43,000 US millionaires will get ‘stimulus’ averaging $1.6 million each

At least 43,000 American millionaires who are too rich to get coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a far bigger boost — averaging $1.6 million each, according to a congressional committee.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act trumpeted its assistance for working families and small businesses, but it apparently contains an even bigger benefit for wealthy business owners, the committee found.
The act allows pass-through businesses — ones taxed under individual income, rather than corporate — an unlimited amount of deductions against their non-business income, such as capital gains, the Washington Post said. They can also use losses to avoid paying taxes in other years.
That gives the roughly 43,000 individual tax filers who make at least $1 million a year a savings of $70.3 billion — or about $1.6 million apiece, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Hedge-fund investors and real estate business owners are “far and away” the ones who will benefit the most, tax expert Steve Rosenthal told the Washington Post.
This is actually the stupidest thing I have ever seen posted.Quote:

Yes, some people are taking advantage of it but the vast majority of small businesses are more or less non-functional right now, and if we wanted to do the best for the company we would just fire those people. PPP gives us an 8 week window to see where the economy is at going forward.
Love these non sheeple. I’m headed to Columbus soon to join the protests.Quote:

so you know, when you quote him, you basically null out the effort a lot of us took to block his posts.
Now dogs are getting the rona:

Quote:
A pug in North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus, which may be the first such case for a dog in the U.S.
The dog, Winston, was part of a Duke University study in which a family in Chapel Hill, the McLeans, were tested for the virus.
The mother, the father, the son and the pug tested positive, while the daughter, another dog and a cat tested negative, according to NBC affiliate WRAL of Raleigh.
Dr. Chris Woods, the principal investigator for the Duke study, said Winston may be the first dog in the country to have a confirmed case of the virus.
For someone who supposedly has a reasonable level of reading comprehension, you exhibited a surprising failure in that department in this case. To help you out, I’ve repeated some of the quoted passage here with the significant portions emphasized.Quote:

P.S. If you haven’t figured this out by now, let me spell it out for you: This particular provision in the CARES Act has nothing to do with reliefs measures in it for address the crippling [i]business[/b] losses that small businesses may be experiencing during this pandemic. It is merely a giveaway to a particular set of investors who uses LLCs to legally organize those investments.Quote:

Trump acting surprised about billionaires ravaging his stimulus package is not getting enough coverage.
I live on Upper East Side in NYC and I wonder where you see this "literal home arrest" in the USA. Because here in NYC, a lot of areas are MORE crowded MORE often than during normal non-Corona times. Outdoor areas like Central Park, Prospect Park, West Side Hwy train, East Side trail are so packed I have to double check that it is mid-day, mid-week and not a Saturday afternoon. I run regularly and it is so crowded in a lot of these areas that I would rather run on the (emptier) streets and avoid these areas.Quote:

I do have friends living in Europe and Asia and a lot of them implemented much stricter measures a lot earlier.
