Don't forget to provide them with enough food to stay for a long time. I hear they love gummy dicks.
Dayum, what did Smallpox ever do to you ?
Westy's an innovator.
His mind asks the question 'what can smallpox do FOR me?'

I'm conflicted about making fun of a guy who got his head run over and just doesn't give a fuck. Because I kind of respect that.
He says so much stupid shit you shouldn't have to make fun of his crooked dead nerve skull.
Not saying you were. But I still definitely do so just thinking outloud here.

That, my European friend, is just the latest purveyor in a long, proud, American tradition of selling religious snake oil bullshit, to uneducated backwoods yokels.

Depends on the who and how...... I'm hoping Darwin won't disappoint for too long.
I'm a believer that what we do in life determines how we are spoken about in death. In this case, let us all mock Lavoy, and his ilk, well into the future.Okay then, how'bout this guy :

The Missteps Of Mayor Bill De Blasio's Coronavirus Response
At the center of the epicenter is Mayor de Blasio, who has repeatedly delivered half-measures and confusing information to New Yorkers and has been late to take action in areas that could have helped slow the spread of the virus.

There are good signs that we have plateaued in Washington, both deaths and new cases. Must be all that bad leadership from Gov. Inslee Trump talks about.
The latest that I was seeing from JHU (last few days) that the increase is constant, in other words no longer logarithmic or exponential, in fact that graph (log) appears to be flattening out. That's something...it's not necessarily good, it means deaths increasing each day, but it *should* be a precursor to the actual curve flattening out.
BDB is Trumpy in the way he bends facts to fit his narrative (I realize no one come close to trumping Trump at this ). This has been going on his entire mayoral reign.The Missteps Of Mayor Bill De Blasio's Coronavirus Response

I wish they'd close some fuckin' streets to cars so the parks wouldn't get so packed. Also because of dipshittery like this: https://jalopnik.com/guy-takes-pandemic-opportunity-to-rip-through-nyc-stree-1842727639
Since this is a big positive feedback loop, when the number of new cases per day starts to drop, you have hit an inflection point where things should start getting better faster, Recovered cases should also be growing exponentially, but I suspect that is going to be very unreliable data. If you care not hospitalized who is going to see a doctor when they feel better?
Not looking at cases, way too many variables to mean anything. The only thing meaningful IMO is deaths.
I've been saying that about this country for decades.
fyi, this is the only graphing of the recovered cases I've found

For an absolute count I agree the data is worthless, but it can shed light on trends. You can could assume this is just the severe case count. Anyway, the number of people hospitalized has also peaked locally and it appears deaths also have, but it is hard to say just yet as the numbers are noisy.

^yeah, about that
The CDC is now taking the approach that potentially infected people can return to work if they take precautions. This is how we start rising again in deaths. And this is why you put mike fucking pence and esteemed harvard legacy admission jared kushner in charge of things that involve real life.
We are literally being to told to jump into a fire. Stay home if you can y'all.

Preliminary results of an immunity study from the the first and most intensely affected village in Germany. Tranlated with deepl from: https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/zwischenergebnis_covid19_case_study_gangelt.pdf
Preliminary results and conclusions of the COVID-19 Case Cluster Study (Gangelt municipality)
Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck(Institute of Virology)
Prof. Dr. Gunther Hartmann (Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Pharmacology, Speaker of the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2)
Prof. Dr. Martin Exner(Institute of Hygiene and Public Health)
Prof. Dr. Matthias Schmid (Institute of Medical Biometry, Informatics and Epidemiology)
University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, 9 April 2020
Background:The municipality of Gangelt is one of the places in Germany most affected by COVID19. It is assumed that the infection was caused by a carnival session on February 15th, 2020, as several people tested positive for SARSCoV2 after this session.
The carnival session and the outbreak pattern after the session are currently being investigated in more detail. A representative sample was taken from the municipality of Gangelt (12,529 inhabitants) in the Heinsberg district. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a protocol in which 100 to 300 households are randomly tested, depending on the expected prevalence. This sample was adjusted to its representativeness with Prof. Manfred Güllner (Forsa)
The aim of the study is to determine the status of the SARS-CoV2 infections (percentage of all infected persons) in the community of Gangelt. In addition, the status of the current SARS-CoV2 immunity should be determined. Procedure:A serial letter was sent to about 600 households. In total, about 1000 inhabitants from about 400 households participated in the study. Questionnaires were collected, throat swabs taken and blood tested for the presence of antibodies (IgG, IgA). This first evaluation includes the interim results and conclusions of about 500 people. preliminary result:An existing immunity of about 14% (anti-SARS-CoV2 IgG positive, specificity of the method >,99 %) was determined. About 2% of the persons had a current SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by the PCR method. The infection rate (current or past infection) was ca. 15%. The case fatality rate in relation to the total number of infected persons in the community of Gangelt is approx. 0.37% with the preliminary data from this study. The mortality rate currently calculated by Johns-Hopkins University in Germany is 1.98%, which is 5 times higher. The mortality in relation to the total population in Gangelt is currently 0.15%.
Preliminary conclusion: The 5-fold higher lethality calculated by Johns-Hopkins University compared to this study in Gangelt is explained by the different reference size of the infected persons. In Gangelt, this study covers all infected persons in the sample, including those with asymptomatic and mild courses. In Gangelt, the proportion of the population that has already developed immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is about 15%. This means that 15% of the population in Gangelt can no longer be infected with SARS-CoV-2, and the process has already begun until herd immunity is achieved. This 15% of the population reduces the speed (net reproduction rate in epidemiological models) of further spread of SARS-CoV-2 accordingly. By adhering to strict hygiene measures, it is to be expected that the virus concentration can be reduced to such an extent that the severity of the disease is reduced and at the same time immunity is developed. These favourable conditions are not given in the case of an exceptional outbreak event (superspreading event, e.g. carnival session, après-ski bar Ischgl).
We therefore expressly recommend implementing the proposed four-phase strategy of the German Society for Hospital Hygiene (DGKH).
Phase 1: Social quarantine with the aim of containing and slowing down the pandemic and avoiding overburdening critical care structures, especially the health care system
Phase 2: Beginning to reduce quarantine while ensuring hygienic conditions and behaviour.
Phase 3: Revocation of quarantine while maintaining hygienic conditions
Phase 4: State of public life as before the COVID-19 pandemic (status quo ante).

Hopefully, Phase 4 will never reach “as before” status. I’d like the western countries to adopt a more japanese-style sanitary precautions.
- No worthless handshaking.
- More automatic doors in public spaces.
- More regular cleaning of surfaces in public spaces (handles in busses are cleaned at most once every week here).
- Sick people expected to wearing face masks in public to avoid spreading of diseases.
I have been saying this for several years, I think its the right time to reconsider some things we find normal culturally, but makes no sense. I have absolutely no problem shaking the hand of my family members, friends, business partners, etc., but talking to a stranger for 22 seconds in a trade-show booth is not worthy of physical contact and spreading germs, fecal matter and filthy warts. I have a co-worker who constantly shake hands at work for no reason. GTFO weirdo.
Funerals where the family of the deceased has to kiss 200 people (most of them they haven’t seen in 15 years) in a day is extremely stupid as well and I hope that stops.
Maintenance de routine.
For the most part, the people I have seen wearing masks tend to touch their masks and faces constantly. This is pretty counter productive. As someone who has worked in sterile clean rooms this can be a very difficult thing to avoid and takes discipline and training for that matter. Two things that don't fly in this country.
Which is why a month ago (when the CDC still had relevancy), they were saying the same thing.
hey but it makes everyone feel safe, so we can force everyone to go back to work, or the bored people can go back to doing stuff!!!!!
