142,069 official deaths

However the number of deaths above the long term average will suggest the real figure is somewhere in the order of 696,969.420

How the gently caress do you keep that place open by presidential order?

Who are they going to get to work there? Prisoners?

They'll threaten their workers with homelessness or maybe charge them with disobeying the defense production order.

Once the actual workers are all dead or incapacitated they'll use prisoners or illegal immigrants from one of the ICE detention centers.

Are people always this naive?

The plan was never to give money to workers by giving it to businesses, they just said that was the plan when they knew all along it would be pocketed by grifters.

Jesus. So COVID has been outside of China since before anyone even discovered that it was contagious.

It's not surprising.

With the amount of international travel that takes place these days it's almost inevitable that it was spreading outside of China before they had a handle on what was going on.

a chud talking point in Australia is that the excess motorist fatalities are all suicides by people who are so depressed by the shutdowns they can't face living anymore, therefore we should open everything up again to save lives.

When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I heard the voice of the fifth living creature saying, "Come, fastly." I looked, and behold, an orange horse; and he who sat on it had the name Donald; and Dunning and Kruger were following with him.

So in other words we already broke 20% lol

I think the cumulative processed unemployment claims is now at 33 million. I think I read somewhere that the US workforce is 160 million so if that is correct it's over 20%. That probably missed a bunch of contractors and gig economy workers, and wouldn't include business owners who have gone bust because of this. It also wouldn't include what I assume is a reasonably large number of people who had jobs previously but aren't eligible for UI for some reason.

One thing I'm not sure about is how unemployment was measured in the depression era vs now.

Like back then you either had a full time job or you didn't have a job. Casual work, gig economy stuff, contracting and so on wasn't really a thing then.

The reason we like to measure unemployment is that historically it's been a useful measure of the health of an economy, however if it isn't picking up those casual/gig workers etc then it's definitely understating the true economic effect the virus is having on the workforce.

Maybe instead of a poll on the official number of deaths we should all try and guess the most outrageous way states attempt to mask the true number of deaths.

I'm gonna go with some governor (looking at you Florida) refusing to treat covid deaths as an official death of any cause in their records and in the information they file with the CDC. Immortality baby!

While this is good, the Chief Medical Officer was very adamant that the only reason we had no recorded deaths today was because of the weekend effect. We are still above 50 cases a day and will probably be in double digits for another week or so.

That's also ignoring the deaths and cases in Northern Ireland. The border is completely open and areas around the border are the hardest hit because of this/the absolutely awful British response.

Maybe the RoI should annex Northern Ireland as some kind of humanitarian response.

Conspiracy theories are created to make actual legitimate theories more credible is definitely a take.

I thought his point was that you can't have any kind of debate about something that is the subject of a bunch of conspiracy theories because you get lumped in with the lunatics. For example a proper study that suggested 5G did cause some sort of health problem would never get taken seriously no matter how rigorous and well designed it was because fucktards think it spreads coronavirus.

I have a fairly mild cold and the advice for that is to get tested just in case.

It was all fairly straightforward, just rock up at the drive through testing place near me, get nose raped, get handed a bunch of info and go home.

Of course you aren't supposed to leave the house until the test results come back and I forgot to do any grocery shopping before I went and get tested which was a bad move in hindsight.

Yeah, if this thing ripped through Congress without a single one of them having more than a mild case and not even a single hospitalization that would mean everything we know about it is wrong.

Like, I'd absolutely believe their access to medical care would help them all survive if they all did get sick but congress is basically an old folks home theres no way half of them wouldn't be intubated by now.

Weren't TWIV speculating that Remdesivir might work quite well if given early enough in the infection? The trouble being that regular slobs don't get tested until the symptoms are present, at which point the virus has progressed more or less as far as it can and the rest of the damage is being done by your immune system.

I would guess that rich politicians have pretty much unlimited testing at their disposal and would know the second they contract it.

It's not really a black swan if Bush predicted it. Like, he apparently just read a book that pointed out that plagues seemed to happen in 100 years cycles, then put 1918 and 100 together and realized another would be coming up soon. That's the exact opposite of a black swan really.

Not to mention the WHO putting the coronavirus family on a priority list of viruses that could potentially cross over from animals to humans and should be the focus of research efforts. Plus the countries that had a practice run with SARS Mk I doing much better generally than those that didn’t.

This was entirely predictable and could be prepared for to a certain extent, it’s just that a lot of places didn’t bother.
