this is why its hopium, they think its within their control lol

lol good point i mean look at this stupid poo poo

quote:

The Commission recommends that Congress should take steps to advance permitting reform.

Many trades and good-paying jobs in America require permits and credentials that take hundreds of hours and many resources to obtain. At a time of great economic dislocation, we have to eliminate barriers to getting new jobs. Much work has been done on this topic over many years, and now is the time to complete it. We cannot allow people on the bubble to slip into dependence on government. We have to simplify the pathway back into the labor force, including to a skilled trade or other job that is currently walled off by nonsensical credentialing requirements. That means coordinating permitting requirements across jurisdictions and having express federal guidance that these should generally not be required or should be as minimally burdensome as possible.

yeah like a sine wave between 2k and then as herd immunity wears off back up to 50k a day or whatever and back to 2k again

Yeah it matters how long immunity lasts but since it isn't going to be an exact length of time it's going to be a ton of out of phase sine waves and you'll just get a constant number of people dying. This would be a good thing to simulate but no one actually simulates anything.

Like the supposed failure of the chinese to develop a large enough first strike capability to dig out our land-based sites suggests a huge advance in either arsenal size or ABM capability to where they don't think they'd have to, along with an incredible degree of security around the whole buildup

Benzos and the fact he wanted to cold turkey from them but no one in the Western world would do that. So he went to Russia and had them put him in a medically induced coma so he didn't have to suffer through it.

For those playing at home, medically induced coma's are a bad thing and there is a good chance of coming out with brain damage.

We won't go to war with China. If anything, Trump might rally with foreign allies to order some crazy sanctions on China for letting it all happen and either everyone else decides to just let it happen or argue against it and further instill that the UN/NATO is out to get us.

only because there's more people being born every year (net 23 million people, roughly the population of NYC metro) than there are homes being built

if something happened to greatly reduce the amount of people, these homes' values would plummet

French hospital discovers Covid-19 case from December

Mon 4 May 2020 17.50 BST
Last modified on Mon 4 May 2020 18.56 BST

A French hospital that retested old samples from pneumonia patients has discovered that it treated a man with the coronavirus as early as 27 December, nearly a month before the French government confirmed its first cases.

Dr Yves Cohen, head of resuscitation at the Avicenne and Jean Verdier hospitals in the northern suburbs of Paris, told BFM TV that scientists had retested samples from 24 patients treated in December and January who tested negative for flu.

“Of the 24, we had one who was positive for Covid-19 on 27 December,” he told the news channel on Sunday.

The samples had all initially been collected to detect flu using PCR tests, the same genetic screening process that can also be used to detect the presence of the coronavirus. Each sample was retested several times to ensure that there were no errors, he added.

Here's an article from Jan 25, 2020, when France initially said that they found domestic cases of coronavirus: https://www.politico.eu/article/coronavirus-first-cases-in-europe-france/

Oh cool they have the exact situation we were talking about. It's a damped sign wave. Interestingly you have taller spikes with longer immunity up to a point, after which you kill the virus entirely.

The chuds are about to get bored of protesting; watch for it.

You know how the collective attention span of Americans was too short for coronavirus? How it's so many 24-hour news cycles ago that people just refuse to acknowledge that it's still here? Well, the same goes for the reopen movement. Astroturfed as it may be, it's not like the support for lockdown didn't also have external influence (in the form of a deadly virus that's still there), but it wasn't enough; people got bored and forgot. As this thing wears us on for two, three more weeks, the re-open crowd is going to tire and completely forget what they're doing and get bored of it. Everyone will go back to doing nothing again.

Kill 1 billion chinese with nukes and there's still 400 million left for the retaliation. Focus entirely on countervalue for the US and there will be nothing left but Mad Max style raider gangs.
