babypolis posted:so whats the deal with sweden? honestly the numbers from over there dont seem that bad considering they arent murdering their own economy like everyone else sweden is burying most of its numbers (sending the old home with morphine to die uncounted), but their deaths per million counts are still 600% higher than their neighbors in norway and finland nobody "murdered" any economy. it turns out that businesses suffer during a global pandemic, who knew? sweden's economy is suffering just as badly as the rest of europe

it's truly incredible that capitalists managed to pin the economic collapse on the "lockdown" rather than....a worldwide plague very few people are willing to push back against this narrative, even if they support intelligent public health measures

many states will likely never report accurate death totals (florida got caught red handed, it was national news, desantis still doesn't give a gently caress) but i will submit 420,000 cumulative us deaths

babypolis posted:my worry is that the economic collpase will hurt a lot of people (and already is), potentially more than virus itself. but yeah its not really a situation where you can choose one over the other as pointed out before it's sort of like saying "the blood loss will hurt a lot, potentially more than the gunshot wound itself" you cannot separate the virus from our response to it, they are one and the same the difference is that while we cannot legislate viruses out of existence, we can pass bills that give money to people who need it instead of we gave hundreds of billions away to rich grifters

SKULL.GIF posted:It's like... Peru and Brasil? Like 17k in Chile? And nothing else? India somehow has only half China's cases despite putting in the absolute bare minimum effort instead of what China did, lock down the entire country and aggressive contact tracing. Nah man, totally wrong. India's response makes the USA look like poo poo. I would link to the article but I feel like nobody clicks hyperlinks anymore so I'll just take some screenshots and quotes.  quote:Day by day, life under coronavirus lockdown in India took away something else, usually something good. And nearly six weeks into it, much of this country is still frozen. quote:Whenever we turned off the highway, every village, no matter how small, was barricaded — some with oil drums, others with rope. Behind the barricades stood villagers carrying sticks to keep strangers out and wearing frayed bandannas over their faces, the virus vigilantes. quote:India seems to be doing better than many richer countries in containing the virus, at least so far. With reported infections relatively low, around 35,000, the government is trying to loosen the national tourniquet and reopen some industries, such as agriculture and select manufacturing.

I cannot exaggerate enough how much better "shithole" countries like India and Iraq are doing in comparison to the USA. I have friends in both Baghdad and Dehli. They report that everybody is staying inside, everybody is afraid of the virus, they are banding together as a community because they know suffering is possible. The psychological poison in countries like Sweden and the USA is born from some bizarre first-world hubris and it will be our undoing.

Grondoth posted:This has not been my actual experience, I see everyone wearing masks everywhere there's other people and people being supportive and compliant. There's all sorts of stories of quiet heroism and respect that, in a normal functioning government, we'd be hearing about every day; like how Cuomo read that letter about the dude who donated a mask. Instead, we hear about a few lovely, lovely assholes that are being shoved into prominence because the only move Trump has, and thus the only move the right wing has, is to make everything into a culture war and start fights. completely false, these "few lovely assholes" are literally affecting policy for entire towns, entire states, for millions of people https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1256572085507362821

Charlz Guybon posted:Death seem to be slowing down the last two weeks according to that, which seems odd since we have had a very consistent 30k a day getting infected for that whole period. deaths are a lagging measure, about 1 week to 3 weeks behind confirmed infection. deaths also depend on testing. testing stagnated for two solid weeks in mid april, check this chart and you'll see why deaths are stuck at 2k

Trump Fact 8) He is CRAZY paranoid that people are intentionally trying to give him the virus (especially journalists). He's too dumb to think you can get it "naturally" (i think everything is part of some divine personal plan for trumpists, they're too narcissistic to think the world doesn't revolve around them) so it must be a conspiracy against him
