So after months of hearing that masks were ineffective at preventing people from contracting COVID (but could help minimize the spread by containing droplets) now all of the talking heads are starting to say that we need to wear masks at all times. How is anyone supposed to interpret this as anything but desperation and grasping at straws at this point?

facialimpediment posted:This may be, oddly, the science working. It's pretty clear that there's a loving ton that we don't know about COVID-19, primarily because of the asymptomatic carrier issue. We also don't know why some people with COVID-19 feel nothing, others get a cold, others get the fever/shakes/chest stuff, others need hospitalization/oxygen, and others need the full-blown ventilator. I'm only now seeing conjectures as it having to do with the initial viral load in the initial exposure event. I get what you’re saying, but current WHO guidance still says that a mask is unnecessary unless you’re sick or taking care of someone who is sick. I’m having a hard time reconciling what’s good advice being put out by the US government vs. “WE’RE DOING SOMETHING!” pseudoscience. Given how compromised every other agency is, I have no reason to believe that CDC isn’t just placating Trump because he saw something on Fox News about how more Americans are wearing masks.

bird food bathtub posted:I can't wait to find out some day why this particular drug has managed to implant itself in his rotting swiss cheese dementia brain as a super cure. Is it narcissistic "I know best as I am eternal, infallible and all knowing"? Is he in on a grift somewhere making personal money off the sales rush? Is it the authoritarian strong man desire to have a cure to the deep state Democrat hoax that will be gone after 15 cases? There's just so many wonderful possibilities for how it's a self-serving lie I can't choose. It's because Novartis, a Swedish pharmaceutical company that makes a HCQ drug, paid Michael Cohen 1.2 million USD for "consulting" on how Trump would deal with pharma companies back in 2017.

This election is going to be about which VP you want to take over for Biden or Trump because there’s no way either of them are going to last through the upcoming term. It’s a hosed up state of affairs when you’re wondering whether Biden’s really sundowning this hard or GOP operatives are sinking low enough to edit videos to make Biden look like this (and are most definitely doing much worse things in the background.) Edit: could he be talking about the influenza pandemic of 1918? pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Apr 7, 2020 |

pantslesswithwolves posted:This election is going to be about which VP you want to take over for Biden or Trump because there’s no way either of them are going to last through the upcoming term. So the video came from ABC news and it wasn’t doctored. Relevant clip starts at 7:30 or so. I can only assume that he’s talking about the pandemic of 1918 but he’s inarticulate and imprecise on this. https://youtu.be/K8UH3Gdmx8I Admittedly the rest of the video isn’t great. Biden stumbles a bit and keeps repeating “follow the science” as his answer to many questions. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to give non-specific answers lest they be picked apart by the Republicans, but it’s still not a great look. Ninja edit: when I say he’s stumbling, I’m not referring to his stutter. That’d be a mean thing to go after him for. Actual edit: yeah, even if Bernie is still my guy, I’ll take Biden over Trump without hesitation. I may hate it but it’s still better than a president who’s trying to kill as many people as possible. pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Soylent Pudding posted:Weekend at Bernie's but it's all old British dudes. Weekend at Bernard McFacknuttah's. Meanwhile, AG Barr went on Fox News to talk about shelter in place and other state governor restrictions, describing some as "draconian" and calling them to be reexamined at the end of the month. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...f094_story.html quote:“When this period of time, at the end of April, expires, I think we have to allow people to adapt more than we have, and not just tell people to go home and hide under their bed, but allow them to use other ways — social distancing and other means — to protect themselves,” Barr said. Check your board to see if you had "religious liberty" quote:
Anyone get a bingo with HCQ?! quote:Barr said Trump had been the recipient of “snarky, gotcha questions from the White House media pool” and took particular aim at inquiries about the drug hydroxychloroquine. Trump has touted the drug as a possible treatment for covid-19, although its effectiveness has not been proven. I guaran-loving-tee you the White House will point to a decline in cases as a reason to "reopen" the economy, and the sycophants in Fox News and the GOP will happily line up in fawning agreement. Never mind that such a decline will likely come in conjunction with the federal government's cessation of funding of testing centers as was pointed out earlier, so any actual decline will likely be simply because there are fewer resources to conduct tests. The Trump administration is going to kill more people than any of the groups or countries we've been dropping bombs on for the past 60 years.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Canada's projection is that social distancing etc. will have to last probably 12-18 months barring any vaccine breakthrough The Canadians are probably following that Imperial College COVID study which basically said the thing. Three months of social distancing to start, a few months' respite, then back into this again for the winter, repeat until we have a vaccine. And frankly, I don't trust the CDC anymore either. DC's city government just adopted a new ordinance that says you have to be wearing a mask of some sort to even enter a grocery store, which suggests that they're not going to relax their posture anytime soon. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/196234/covid-19-imperial-researchers-model-likely-impact/ I forget who it was that originally said this, but whoever once said "Republicans spend eight years talking about how the federal government is evil and the next eight years proving it" sure was loving right.

quote:In phone calls with outside advisers, Trump has even floated trying to reopen much of the country before the end of this month, when the current federal recommendations to avoid social gatherings and work from home expire, the people said. Trump regularly looks at unemployment and stock market numbers, complaining that they are hurting his presidency and reelection prospects, the people said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/trump-reopen-us-economy/2020/04/09/10d42b4a-7a7b-11ea-9bee-c5bf9d2e3288_story.html If we “reopen the economy” as soon as Trump wants, it’ll probably erase whatever gains we’ve made in fighting the virus while the economy still craters. So we’ll still have a severe recession or depression AND a lot of people dead. This government is doing its best to get a lot of people killed.

Places in northern Montgomery County could see some tornadic action, though. Also downtown DC is largely devoid of activity thanks to COVID so all the lobbyists and other members of the parasite class are safe at home in Loudon County or Bethesda. What you’re looking for is a Derecho-type event that hits the Beltway at rush hour.

I know that Trump will spend the rest of his life insulated from any consequence from his actions, but in a just world he’d get to live the experience many other Americans are getting to have: saying goodbye to a loved one over FaceTime and knowing that they’ll take their last breathes alone and with no one to comfort them.

Doc Hawkins posted:There's no way they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. I'd love to see the powerpoint slide that convinced them this was the best move. The IMF and World Bank aren’t exactly the horrifically predatory organizations that they were 20 years ago or so. There’s been a lot of change in leadership and the way that they engage with countries, and while their actions definitely deserve observation and scrutiny and criticism where needed, not everything they do is calculated with “how do we gently caress over the poor today?” up front. This is at least my impression having worked with some Bank/Fund people in the field, mostly in a security context.

Fallom posted:2-5 is what the previous SARS came in at so this isn’t some weird stat. There’s obviously much more to characterizing the spread and threat of the disease than R0. SARS also had people being contagious right as they presented with symptoms, so it was easier to isolate the infected and contact trace when possible. My work has announced that we’re working from home through at least the end of May. I suspect that it’ll likely be mid-June before we go back to the office. I anticipate a weird, tense summer before the second wave of COVID hits in conjunction with flu season in the fall/winter. All told, I think 2020 is going to be a complete write-off of a year.

The deaths of four Americans are on their hands.
