Not only did they get that TB vaccine there, they get booster shots as well, so maybe that could be it.

You can only scrub the death rate so much. It was the same story with China.

I think after a couple of million deaths this thing will tire our and slow down. So I wouldn't worry too much. I mean, how long can it keep murdering without some rest?

What are the numbers for Russian excess mortality for May/End of April and how much do you trust them? Anything but excess mortality is currently useless for comparison because different countries use different definitions for what counts as a corona death and there is no way to tell how much the numbers get juiced.

I am still in the bad call mindset. All options on the table are bad and the window where good decisions could be made has long passed. Capitalism is about to kick down everyone's front door. Doesn't matter what your politics or beliefs are. This is literally history book poo poo going on right now. You reopen the business as usual and I GUARANTEE you will see millions kicked on the loving street the second the landlord lobby cracks that no-eviction order. Where is everyone gonna go? What kind of jobs can these people get when Retail, Restaurants and Service industries are bankrupt from the entire consumer class vanishing? Where are they gonna get food while all the farms are dumping their worthless harvests to rot in a field and farmers without locked in contracts have no idea how to scale anything anymore? Who the gently caress is gonna get on a plane or pass though a crowed airport security and where the hell would they go?

Congress turned on the money printer and everyone saw it. They printed money for the fed to literally buy up every poo poo investment to bail out the entire upper class and they are going to outright walk away with the bag. We got 1,200 bucks and told that ought to get us though it.

They could have just done a rent and mortgage freeze and printed the loss right into the banks holding the contracts and boom everyone has breathing room. They could have done a federal wage guarantee and just told all the employers to fire no one and send everyone home and just pick up the wage bill with the printer now all the small businesses don't need a loan. Then fix the whole publicly traded market by either halting trade or literally buying a holding in every nationally critical sector and nationalize the whole thing to never have a crisis again. Then picked up Medicare for All and just printed the "How you gonna pay for it" argument into oblivion and pay everyone's medical bills. Then when it is all said and done you got all this poo poo on the counties books you just inflation leverage the thing into a dark corner to pay for itself and in 20 years no one will know it ever existed because the world economics needs dollars to trade and it can't fail. Boom country saved and after six months of lockdown we all come out after a great vacation and get a spike in divorces but nothing else.

We chose hellworld. This was a choice. And there isn't a single person you can vote for that would fix this come November. The progressive rebellion was defeated. Bernie got a brainslug slapped on his head. Both parties are totally pro hellworld and it is going to take decades for the hosed generation to get actual power in high office when there is a nation of amped superpowered grifters that will torpedo you for life using everything at the disposal of the information age.

Welcome to history book hellworld. Your kids are gonna be reading about this in a loving shack after being required to buy the book for 900 dollars and the homework will still require a cd key.

The worst part of all of this is those not willing to let it slide like this are gonna choose violence because there is literally no other path open to them in their lifetime.

there is a literal genocide of the working class occurring because “the stock number has to go up!” we are so hosed.

I doubt they would be even willing to receive any nationally significant amount of supplies from the US. That would make them look weak and dependent on the goodwill of the US. So, because great power games are more important for Putin than Russian lives, hopefully not too many US lives are put at risk due to any additional lack of supplies.

los riojanos... once this ends we need to find what they did, how they ended one of the worst region on one of the more affected countries in the world.

If you replay this graph

la rioja is the small region on the north.

my suspicion is they had a problem with super spreaders combined with conservativism "is just the flu" mindsets, but this is my bias,... I don't really know.

It seems most countries are jucing them in a similar manner. No one is counting deaths at home or nursing homes. The difference is that the Russians are actually testing to a greater degree than we are.
