    are you sure about those facts? because the GOP is super sure this is a hoax or perhaps the rapture.

    Oh, I see, it was the latest Fox "news" propaganda
    & I got outnumbered by Dr's salt & pepper, again.

    Why do people on the right always talk like they are thinking for themselves,
    then recite Fox "news" BS word for word.

    Sadly for principled conservatives, such as George Will, Mitt Romney, etc., the reality of why Trump behaves the way he does in response to the COVID-19 threat is that it interferes with his on-going agenda of using his power in office to personally enrich himself and his family, as well as glorify himself, at the expense of anyone of doesn’t help him do so. Just ask the decades-long trail of outside investors, lenders, contractors, subcontractors, and employees, among others, who have been screwed by Trump every which way one could imagine, all the while with Trump somehow coming out financially enriched while others absorbed accumulated losses in the billions of dollars.

    Which is why the breadth and scale of Trump’s corrupt acts as President related to the crisis should not be a surprise to anyone with half a brain, including Druff.

    definitely.

    So what's your point here?

    That Antifa aren't the only assholes who block traffic?

    Brilliant take.

    Or wait... is this supposed to be an indictment of people I support? The Proud Boys are known anti-Semites. I hate them as much as I hate Antifa.

    Thanks for helping prove my assertion that only pieces of shit block traffic to make a political point. Also thanks for comparing Antifa to the Proud Boys. I agree. Nice to see we have common ground.

    sonatine posted about the Proud Boys blocking traffic, as if that's sort of gotcha to me because I previously bashed Antifa and Black Lives Matter for doing the same thing.

    Except the Proud Boys are a bunch of white trash anti-Semites, who clearly aren't people I've ever supported. How exactly was this a burn on my allegiances?

    Getting away from the idiotic politicking here....

    The deaths in the US spiked up for the last 2 days after trending down for the previous two days.

    Unless the data is wrong or delayed, it looks like the last two days have been the worst we've seen, both with over 2400 deaths from 5pm to 5pm PDT.

    (This is according to worldometers.)

    Now, I realize that this number might simply mean a peak of infections 2-3 weeks ago, but that's still a bit odd because the social distancing started about a month ago,

    This could mean one of a few things:

    1) The true peak of infections was about a month ago, and there were a lot of people hanging on by a thread for 2 weeks or so, before dying over the past 2 days
    -or-
    2) The social distancing isn't working as well as we thought
    -or-
    3) The last two days contain some retroactive reporting of deaths which previously occurred on other days, such as the people found dead in their homes

    One good sign, if the numbers are accurate, is that worldometers reports only an increase of 14 "serious/critical" cases in the past 24 hours! That's a bit hard to believe, and maybe there's some error or reporting lag there, but it would be great if the number of serious cases has gone way down. That would mean we will see a hugely reduced death rate by the end of April.

    ARCpoint Labs is now doing anitbody tests in the US. They claim their test is 97% accurate, which I find hard to believe. The FDA has not yet approved them.

    You can do these drive-up test by appointment only. They cost $200 and are not covered by insurance.

    https://www.arcpointlabs.com/covid-19-antibody-testing/

    They are in several US cities. Google ARCpoint Labs to find out if they are where you live.

    I considered doing this, but given that I don't know if I can trust it, what will it really tell me? Even with a positive result, I wouldn't feel emboldened to return to normal life anyway. The $200 doesn't bother me. I would gladly pay $200 to see if I was one of the lucky ones who had it already and didn't know.

    Also, it's like 50 miles from me, and while there's probably no traffic (which is a huge factor driving in LA), I think it would end up being a waste of time and money, because I think it's very likely it would come up negative. It's hard to believe that, being 48 and having high blood pressure, I could have had it and not known. I will say that I had that weird sore throat and fatigue combo about 2 weeks ago, and a dry cough last week for 2 days, but it never progressed further either time, and the symptoms vanished. I would be more curious about my girlfriend, who had an unexplained fever.

    Nearly 4,000 deaths that occurred in homes have not been added yet.
    These deaths are just in NY, I'm sure there's a load more from other places that have not been reported.

    Before cv19 NYC averaged 20 people per day dying at home . After cv19 they're averaging 200.


    Prob just a coincidence

    Okay?

    I hope you realize I was never one of the people denying the seriousness or the deadliness of COVID-19. You won't find any of that from me in the entire thread. That's why I quit Commerce in late January, despite being on a very good run there.

    has anyone seen a chart mapping the actual death rates in the US or specific states or cities in 2018, 2019 and 2020?

    i'm curious how many more deaths we're seeing because of this virus but i haven't been able to find that info online
