Son of Rodney posted:What is a human life worth in the end to who? GOP Congressman: More Coronavirus Deaths Are ‘Lesser of Two Evils’ to Help the Economy quote:An Indiana congressman has explicitly come out and said that letting more Americans die from the novel coronavirus is the “lesser of two evils” compared with the U.S. economy suffering due to lockdowns. Speaking with radio station WIBC in Indiana, Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth said that he appreciated the science behind the lockdown measures, but added: “It is always the American government’s position to say, in the choice between the loss of our way of life as Americans and the loss of life, of American lives, we have to always choose the latter.... It is policymakers’ decision to put on our big boy and big girl pants and say it is the lesser of these two evils. It is not zero evil, but it is the lesser of these two evils and we intend to move forward that direction.”

It's incredible how some people show their true faces like that when things are getting serious, one can only hope these fucks get held accountable in some way *Ron Howard voice* "They didn't"

Edward George Ruddy died today. Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems, and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition, and woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble! So... A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people, and sixty-two million other Americans, are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA - the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what poo poo will be peddled for truth on this network? So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth. But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any poo poo you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night... all ages, colors, creeds... we're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! WE are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF...

The Netherlands has twice as many people as Austria Yeah, pretty much exactly twice the population, but looks like more than 6x the amount of deaths. Which means that per capita we have 3x more deaths than Austria (and about 50% more per capita than Sweden even) EDIT: Australia is not Austria

If you broke the US states up into individual listing then NY would still have the highest number of detected infections in the entire world (226k, Spain would be second on 188k infections), the 4th highest death toll (only being beaten by Italy, Spain and France) and the highest per capita death rate*. New York is fuuuuucked * except for the San Marino microstate in Northern Italy which has had 40 deaths, but it only has a population of 33k

If her water just broke, you probably have time to get her to a hospital. Frankly, calling emergency services in your area and following their directions sounds like your best bet. Oh, and whatever you do, do not panic.

Countries report stuff differently as well. Some countries don't report deaths in retirement homes (???) due to this poo poo and some don't test people who just die before they get tested. The numbers are wonky at best

The numbers are wonky at best It's the goddamn Whose Line Is It Anyway of pandemics because every statistic is made up and the points don't matter. Mayyyyyyyyyyybe in 5 or 10 years we'll be able to get some idea of how bad things actually got and how many people actually died but we're just pissing in the wind right now. People are secretly stacking up bodies in nursing homes like squirrels hiding nuts for winter, it's loving crazy.

America's population is only dense in some areas, but in all other area's its very dense. I'm moving boxes between my apartment and house and everytime I'm driving I see folks with gloves on in their car.. I hope you're going somewhere, or 85 year olds going 45 on the highway.. I hope you're just going out for a drive and not to any-loving-where else.

Did they make the death total 8888 or some poo poo for good luck and (lmao) good health? More importantly, why should anyone believe the new made up number? my favorite part is the confirmed cases being lower than the number of deaths
