Means testing in the middle of a crisis. These people are so insulated they don't think about all the paperwork and labor and people waiting in lines and traveling on buses to government buildings. Poor people are just this abstract concept that they get to throw theories at for fun.

My office is still means testing. I've floated that we just approve all cases and review them after the fact (we already do this for pregnant people, so the option exists), but as of right now, Medicaid is business as usual.

One of positive side effects of all this is that there are definitively going to be a lot of landlords found dead in ditches and the cops are going to be too busy to investigate.

Right now 2 million Americans are infected with the coronavirus. The total U.S. death toll by April 15th will be more than 20,000. We estimate that 80 thousand of the 2 million infected Americans will be hospitalized over the next 2 weeks. That’s why we are short-term bullish on hospital stocks.

Imagine having this train of thought while tens of thousands of people die all around you.

I am also immune compromised,” she continued. “I have two young kids. Some people value their lives over freedom, some people value freedom over their lives. We all make our choices. With love and respect.”

The 40-year-old star went on to share that she believes the government has taken too much control and that the virus is just a “respiratory flu.”

“Where we are right now feels a lot too close to Marshall Law for my comfort already, all in the name of a respiratory flu,”

People need to stop referring to this as a "flu".

It's more akin to pneumonia, your lungs fill with fluid and you drown.

It’s true that coronavirus and influenza are different families of viruses, but either of them can cause pneumonia, and so can many other, unrelated contagions.

Most cases of seasonal flu don’t result in pneumonia, and that’s also true of SARS‐CoV‐2, though the proportion of infected persons who do proceed to pneumonia is much higher in the latter.

The most important thing to convey about coronavirus symptoms is that often there aren’t any. A person may feel completely fine, nothing out of the ordinary, yet be shedding the virus everywhere they go.
