someone explain to me, a loving imbecile, why anybody would want to hide the number of covid-19 deaths? what would you have to gain?

1. Number go up bad for Trump (and the person in charge at the more local/state level supports Trump.

2. Number go up bad for local how well you contained the pandemic and your re-election (or your bosses reelection).

3. Panic, fear, incompetence.

I heard one million years ago that in Italian hospitals they were classifying everyone that died of anything respiratory as COVID-19. But on the flipside haven't tested/counted anyone that didn't die in a hospital.

I would imagine the "rule" going out in a lot of America right now is if they didn't have a positive COVID-19 test pre-death that there's "no way to know" and so "welp just mark it as ARDS, Pneumonia, etc".

and Doug Ford said ontario might be looking like Italy soon

land of contrasts

i want to make it clear we're talking about the same dude here in both of those cases and i'm still reeling over it. "we might look like italy but you know what? don't worry about it bud" is such a ford move it's almost funny

i have a couple of dumb questions* myself, because obviously my brain has cracked and pinged so much that i basically feel like a sad five year old all the time, so if someone has a couple of minutes (ha-ha) maybe field these for me

1) assuming that people actually did all the poo poo they're supposed to, like stay inside, wash their entire rear end and hands all the time, etc, how many people would this kill in a year? best case scenario? i mean globally here

2) i get that influenzas tend to get less lethal over time but i can't find what happens with coronaviruses. why is this one so differenter, is because we were dumber this time?

thanks in advance

*: i mean it, they are very dumb

there's a place a couple blocks from me that is just a fancy arby's, like artisanal roast beef sandwiches and curly fries. i don't have an arby's anywhere near me so i go there about once a month when i want a roast beef sandwich and curly fries. also, for some reason they sell beer and it's ridiculously cheap so from like 5pm-7pm on weekdays you often find a bunch of old dudes hanging out at the tables just drinking pbr out of plastic cups and eating curly fries

even better reason to give your custom to these places. my job was at a locally owned restaurant that operated profitably for 35 years before I was laid off a few weeks ago. it's an excellent place, honestly, really well run with managers who work alongside us employees. the depressing thought is that this is like wildly not the loving norm for usa because we are a fascist hell demon cracker country

I’m not proud of it. but I just opted out of participating in ICU care until the hospital I work at guarantees PPE. my fiancée has severe respiratory issues and I just cannot get her sick. I’m not the only one. and honestly I think the ones who do sign up are the exception.
