it would be eugenics if the the Italians didn't give ventilators to immigrants Ironically, many healthcare workers in the UK and most immigrants in Italy come from developing countries where BCG vaccinations are mandatory a while back in the Italian media there were reports swirling around that unlike native Italians, African immigrants were not falling ill, which led to a rumor spreading around twitter that "African blood" makes you immune to COVID-19. I am not going to look for the original reports I google-translated from Italian a month ago but this more recent article gives you the gist: https://gloria.tv/post/HZJgRfuBftKF2AZmTUGZnyP7M here is some of the twitter rumor: https://twitter.com/moneyglenn2/status/1238256112820015104?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrJWells619/status/1237184078916521986?s=20 https://twitter.com/iamdebbie30/status/1228310284571377664?s=20 which could be in a sense true, if it turns out that the blood of African migrants is more likely to contain an effective vaccine unfortunately this rumor made its way to the US, where this would not be the case, and belief in such an idea would have negative consequences twoday has issued a correction as of 21:23 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Epic High Five posted:100% it will be, probably the worst in the world, it's just gonna be years and years before we get any real numbers on their outbreak Yeah, Mexico and Brazil are going to be really bad too. As much as people on C-SPAM claim otherwise and as much as the US does suck in a lot of ways we haven't seen this epidemic get rip-roaring in an actual developing country yet.

If you want something that's a little more illuminating, and that integrates actual census data and American Community Survey data, try the CDC's SVI: https://svi.cdc.gov/map.html Note: this is only looking at community characteristics like poverty/education, etc. Heres another.

sum posted:The number #1 bioweapon strategy is to have it almost exclusively kill the elderly and infirm, and also to forget to develop a vaccine for it so it affects your country precisely as badly as the enemy's Yeah that's my rationale for why bioweapon stuff is nonsense, this virus would make an absolutely terrible and uncontrollable weapon. For some fun history back in the heyday of the cold war they were designing all kinds of things beyond hydrogen bombs. We've all heard of neutron bombs which are meant to destroy life with a blast of neutrons but limit the explosive nature of the bomb to keep buildings intact (perfect for invading a country and wiping out the people but saving the factories to use yourself). Well there was another bomb of that type they designed but never built, the cobalt bomb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb This thing was purposefully designed to end all life on a planet, period. It throws up an enormous cloud of highly radioactive fallout that poisons all the plants and slowly destroys the world. The never built it because, holy gently caress why would you build a weapon like that.

Tei posted:Heres another. This is actually a very good example of why indicators based analyses are garbage without an understanding of the context from which they're derived. The US looks great on paper, and should be able to handle this kind of an issue - as we have in other cases! But governance - something organizations like the WHO and the UN are only allowed to criticize poor countries for - is left out of the picture when we think of the world that way. And since we are run by a kakistocracy, we face untold horror, despite the tools and capacities to bend reality toward another path.
