Are you honestly telling me you believe it's over there? I mean I would love to be wrong, the virus burns out worldwide thanks to quarantines and maybe only a few thousand die in the US while Trump takes victory laps to a landslide win in November. But the South Korean mortality rate and the transmission rate of 2.5 new infections expectation for each early infection probably doesn't jive with that. Gotta think it's right back to exponential growth once people get out of their houses and back to work there.


I get it, but we won't know the tally until we know. Seems spectacularly high to me.

You make a good argument about the 1.5T

[baseline bum]

That’s exactly what’s gonna happen until their is a vaccine or an actual treatment.

You don't expect enough people being infected so as to stop transmission to happen? Eg you can keep getting it over and over without developing any immunity to it after a recovery? Fuck me if that's the case.

You develop some resistance, but there's also new mutations and strains over time. That's why people get the flu over and over. We're fine 99.9 percent of the time, but if you start having other risk factors (age, etc), it can turn in pneumonia and be fatal.

Like Andrew Yang said, fucking $1.5 trillion could have been a subsistence level $1000 a month ubi for the entire nation for 4.5 months to help offset the needs to quarantine and the enormous economic consequences this pandemic will cause.

4.5 month * [$1*10^3/(person*month)] * (327.2 * 10^6 person) = $1472.4 * 10^9 = $1.472 * 10^12 = $1.47 trillion

But are you back to square one with mutations of the strains? If so you would have thought H1N1 would have killed off the entire population 100 years ago since we didn't start seeing flu vaccines until the 1930s.

I'm very confused then. I don't mean stop transmission so that the virus is completely gone, everyone at this point seems to be expecting this to be a virus here to stay. But are you saying we're likely stuck in full pandemic for a year and a half, two years, five years, however long it takes to make a vaccine? That you don't get enough immunity to hugely slow it down once it has infected 40% to 70% percent of the population?

I think it will be similar to the flu yearly. We’ll see a different strain like we do with the flu or regular cold virus. Now maybe the effects won’t be as bad since we potentially will have some immunity from a previous infection, but also hopefully a vaccine as well.

Um you completely took what I said out of context. You’re an idiot anyway so no reason to respond, but I’ll have to educate you. Unlike this virus, we have readily testing for the flu, vaccines, and anti-virals to treat it. We have none of the above for this virus. That’s a big reason why the mortality rate is higher. My point was this virus will be around yearly, but in different strains like the flu and different cold viruses. Go back to your parents basement copying and pasting data from random websites and go fuck your mother too.

Data caps a thing of the past?


ISPs, leery of repeating Verizon’s memorable gaffe of cutting off service during an emergency, are proposing a variety of user-friendly changes to their policies. Comcast is boosting the bandwidth of its low-income Internet Essentials customers to levels that actually qualify as broadband under FCC rules. AT&T is suspending data caps for all its customers until further notice. Verizon has added $500 million to its 5G rollout plans. Wait, how does that help? Unclear, but the company “stands ready” for increases in traffic. (Disclosure: Verizon Media owns TechCrunch, but this does not affect our editorial coverage.)

Elsewhere in the world ISPs are taking similar actions, either voluntarily or at the request of the state. In India, for instance, ACT Fibernet has bumped everyone up to 300 Mbps for no cost.

There are two simple truths at play here.

The first is that any company that sends its subscriber a $150 overage fee because they had to work from home for a month and ran over their data cap is going to be radioactive. The optics on that are so bad that my guess is most companies are quietly setting forgiveness policies in place to prevent it from happening — though of course it probably will anyway.

The second is that these caps are completely unnecessary, existing only as a way to squeeze more money from subscribers. Data caps just don’t matter any more. As I pointed out during the whole zero-rating debacle, the very fact that the limits can be lifted at will or certain high-traffic categories (such as a broadband company’s own streaming TV channels) can be exempted fundamentally beggars the concept of these caps.

Think about it: If the internet provider can even temporarily lift the data caps, then there is definitively enough capacity for the network to be used without those caps. If there’s enough capacity, then why did the caps exist in the first place?

Answer: Because they make money.

As with other nonsensical and aggravating fees and practices, ISPs get away with this because they amount to regional monopolies or duopolies and are all running the same basic set of grifts for extra cash on top of your subscription feehttps://techcrunch.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-could-force-isps-to-abandon-data-caps-forever/

Coronavirus: Italian doctor reveals horror with hospitals overwhelmed – ‘War has exploded’
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1253336/coronavirus-italy-hospital-intensive-care-units-death-rate-doctors-covid-19

Italy which is a few weeks ahead of us on that curve is now overwhelmed. Their doctors are literally having to choose who to treat and who not to, because they cannot treat everybody. They have roughly the same rate as the US (77% occupancy on roughly the same beds per capita total. by latest stats-2013)

The US, as it is much larger geographically, will have a harder time managing that capacity. A bed in Oregon, will do no good to someone in Louisiana. Our slack is going to be even worse than it seems due to this factor.

Because of the fatal delay by the Trump administration to implement widespread testing that, even now, isn't wide enough to detect cases, that spread has been fast, and is still almost certainly ongoing.

We are on the same curve as italy, and for that matter Iran, whose mass graves can be seen from space.

Crowd sourcing solutions is an effective strategy. You don't need to verify the sources.



"Can be" is a vast gulf from "is always".

Only in this case, people will fucking die because of the incompetence. It takes a real pieces of shit to keep making excuses at this point.


It's an effective strategy. The thing about crowd sourcing is sometimes "Joey Buttcrack" the expert in field "x" will have a novel solution for something seemingly unrelated.

I am happy to accede that out of the box, unconventional solutions can come from unusual sources. But I would not spend limited resources in the middle of a crisis trying to fish a gold nugget out of a sea of turds in a massive facebook group.

You have a limited number of experts and "expert labor hours", and putting them in charge of sifting through those turds is a bad use of their time. A failed real-estate developer like Kushner whose only success is having Trumps favorite hot daughter allow him to put his penis in her, does not offer any chance that he will find that nugget, if it exists.

The problem that Nathan89 is missing (or deliberately ignoring) is one of "noise". Any good suggestion, even if it exists, will require someone to figure out its worth, when compared to the "lets all have magic crystals to shield us" turds.

White House Knew Coronavirus Would Be A 'Major Threat' — But Response Fell Short
https://www.npr.org/2020/03/12/814881355/white-house-knew-coronavirus-would-be-a-major-threat-but-response-fell-short

This guy, who covers this for a living, puts it in stark, terms. Fresh Air (NPR show) is, for my money, far and away one of the best programs for diving in-depth on just about anything. Normally even I find it mind-numbing, but when it counts, you can learn a lot.

The slowness of the testing is making response almost impossible RIGHT NOW. That will kill people that would not have otherwise died, especially if, as I believe to be the case, our health system gets overwhelmed.

The testing delay, and its causes are telling.

They dithered. The people who would have recognized the need were fired in 2018. The reasons why they dithered... we will find out eventually. For some as yet inexplicable reason they chose not to use the WHO test, or whatever the South Koreans chose. They wanted one developed in the US.

There is some indication here that the Trump administration hindered the response on testing because it didn't want the bad press that higher numbers would cause. If that is the case, then the Trump cultists will have to face the fact that Trump's narcissism and known flaws quite possibly killed one of their relatives.

Here Trumps sycophantic, inept management style comes into play:


But at the same time, Secretary Azar has not always given the president the worst-case scenario of what could happen. My understanding is he did not push to do aggressive additional testing in recent weeks, and that's partly because more testing might have led to more cases being discovered of coronavirus outbreak, and the president had made clear - the lower the numbers on coronavirus, the better for the president, the better for his potential reelection this fall.

Meanwhile, Seema Verma, since being added to the team, has announced all kinds of actions that could be seen as cracking down on the problem - dispatching a team of investigators to Washington state, where there has been a major outbreak of corona virus, predominantly in local nursing homes. But I've talked to officials who say that Seema Verma, in an effort to show that she's cracking down, may actually be creating more problems by having her investigators demanding paperwork, demanding answers at a moment when these nursing home officials are just trying to provide basic patient care to people who have been infected by coronavirus.

Truth to power is important at this time. That is not happening, because he surrounds himself with yes-men/women

This will be a case-study in how poor management like this causes bad outcomes.

For comparison, during the H1N1 outbreak, one million tests were completed in the USA within one month.

White House Knew [in January] Coronavirus Would Be A 'Major Threat'

https://www.npr.org/2020/03/12/814881355/white-house-knew-coronavirus-would-be-a-major-threat-but-response-fell-short


DIAMOND: I think they are both trying to show that they're incredibly active and aggressive in public, but some of the decisions behind the scenes haven't always reflected the best judgment of career professionals. In the case of Alex Azar, he did go to the president in January. He did push past resistance from the president's political aides to warn the president the new coronavirus could be a major problem. There were aides around Trump - Kellyanne Conway had some skepticism at times that this was something that needed to be a presidential priority.

But at the same time, Secretary Azar has not always given the president the worst-case scenario of what could happen. My understanding is he did not push to do aggressive additional testing in recent weeks, and that's partly because more testing might have led to more cases being discovered of coronavirus outbreak, and the president had made clear - the lower the numbers on coronavirus, the better for the president, the better for his potential reelection this fall.

Meanwhile, Seema Verma, since being added to the team, has announced all kinds of actions that could be seen as cracking down on the problem - dispatching a team of investigators to Washington state, where there has been a major outbreak of corona virus, predominantly in local nursing homes. But I've talked to officials who say that Seema Verma, in an effort to show that she's cracking down, may actually be creating more problems by having her investigators demanding paperwork, demanding answers at a moment when these nursing home officials are just trying to provide basic patient care to people who have been infected by coronavirus.

DIAMOND: About two weeks ago, my colleague Nancy Cook and I reported that the White House had soured on Alex Azar leading the coronavirus response. He was asked about it in congressional testimony because we broke the story while he was on Capitol Hill, waved it away by saying, you know, didn't trust anonymous sources in Politico. But by the end of the day, Mike Pence had replaced him. And by the next morning, there was a new coordinator brought in, Debbie Birx, to help run the response, too. That's what people saw in public.

Behind the scenes, Azar and his team did know that he was at risk of being replaced, spent a fair amount of time just trying to shore up his standing, calling officials at the White House, on Capitol Hill, just trying to make sure that he didn't lose the job of running the coronavirus response. At that point, we were several weeks into fighting this thing. And in a working, functional administration, the amount of effort just to keep a job, just to fend off these internal fights, I don't know if that would be happening. Since Day 1, there were people trying to get him replaced as the leader of this effort. And Alex Azar also had to spend a lot of political capital fighting to keep this job at a time when we probably would want his efforts focused elsewhere.

GROSS: Like on fighting the virus, not on fighting for his job...

DIAMOND: Yes, on fighting the threat to the American people, not fighting who has which title.

You think you are pointing out how effective Trump is being now.

What you have actually done is pointed out how effective they should have already been, had it not been for Trumps autocratic management style. The buck stops... well he will blame anyone else. China, Democrats, and whatever official he chooses to throw under the bus to save himself this week.

Dear China,

Stop eating bats.

PS You too Africa.

Not really bats, but their waste.

Bats like caves... so do other critters. It is bushmeat in general that causes the interspecies transmission.

The wet markets make it worse. They stack multiple species in open cages one on top of the other in layers. Species A on top.. shits on Species B, who gets it in their system and shits on species C at the bottom. Couldn't make it jump species any better if you were doing it on purpose.

CDC says they still can't say if it's less severe than SARS, need a larger sample size. That's why I said the numbers look concerning to me if the number of critically ill is correct. Mortality rate could jump up quickly. It's only been a week or so.

Best data I think we have so far is Korea, who is doing the most open testing:

South Korea, like all OTHER industrial countries, has a national health system that responded immediately to its covid-19 crisis with 10Ks of tests.

USA's profit-before-healthcare racket, Trash's weeks of delay, and NO tests available will very probably produce higher death rates than SK

GOP lawmakers blasted for hiding out while Trump bungles coronavirus response

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had planned to take a recess of a week or more until some of his GOP senators realized how bad they would look,

so he instead called for a recess stretching from Thursday afternoon until Monday afternoon without a legislative response to the public health emergency,

“Donald Trump, to his credit, wants a bill,” wrote Bloomberg columnist Jonathan Bernstein.

“Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats want a bill containing a number of items.

Trump wants a payroll tax cut.

McConnell wants … well, apparently he wants to go home for the weekend.”

McConnell doesn’t like the House proposal or the president’s proposal, but he doesn’t have one of his own.

a compromise bill supported by both of them would easily pass both chambers by veto-proof margins,

it’s the kind of action that would put him in line for criticism from Trump —

perhaps right away for supposedly failing to make a good deal,

or perhaps later on if things go badly.”

59 million people affected. 12K deaths.

What are we at, 150 some odd cases and 11 deaths?

Ding. Here is that idiot. Color me shocked.

or depending on what CC was going for on Jan 31:


To put this in context, 80,000 people in the US died from the Flu in 2018 according to AP.

60% contract virus, middle of WHO estimates, 310M*.6 = 180M

2% death rate 180,000,000 * .02 = 3,600,000

https://internewscast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/coronavirus-iran-victims-mass-graves-can-be-seen-from-space.jpg

Forty-five times more deadly.

Since we are all about perspective.

My guess is that the rate will fall a bit as we get better data and widespread testing, due to a lot of "have it but no symptoms" people never getting tested. Even so, we are in for many many more deaths than Trump party idiots will want to admit.

John Hagee warning (https://www.jpost.com/Christian-News/Christian-Pastor-warns-Ebola-is-Gods-Punishment-for-Obama-dividing-Jerusalem-379207) that the 2014 Ebola outbreak was God’s punishment for President Barack Obama’s Israel policy.

“The Lord showed me the end of the Coronavirus,” Shawn Bolz, a prominent self-declared prophet in Los Angeles, announced (https://www.facebook.com/ShawnBolz/posts/10163544765850657) last week. “The tide is turning now!”

the United States would be minimally affected because “Trump honors Israel.”

several participants at a Florida gathering received messages from God that suggested he would “mitigate” the outbreak.

God will spare the United States the worst of the virus’s impact because of the

Trump administration’s policies on Israel and abortion, among other policies.

. “But where the administration is saying, ‘We’ve got it under control, there’s nothing to be afraid of,’ they’ll fall in line with that.”

Such a small country, but such mighty people :cry

The countries that lived through the SARS pandemic were clearly more prepared this time.

You shouldn't come over the top rope if you don't have some smack to lay down.

That's bustin' Mono's hole, D!!!

I don't care as long we get free drive through testing.

Check Katie Porter absolutely destroying a repug yesterday in Congress precisely about his power to make the decision to provide free testing

Professor Porter schooled this repug not to fuck with her

she gave him and his staff both her questions and the answers and the asshole came unprepared to answer any of them

That's it... spelling and grammar shmack. You're certainly winning now.
yeah you've never pointed out people editing their posts to correct the same :lol

Amazing speech.

[spurraider21]

Amazing speech.
there is nothing trump could have said that would generate a different response from you

[spurraider21]

but good to know they're going to have drive through testing, and the suspension of interest on student loan payments is nice, but falls far short of paid sick leave. a lot of the people hurting from staying home aren't struggling because of student loans..

Untrue. Did you listen to the speech? If so what do you have issue with?

[Spurs Homer]

Never said

WHEN


these fucking tests would be available


just fucking talk and lies.

you're a sad individual. smh

McJobs people still going to suffer, nothing directly aimed at helping them (federally)

i'm watching live as we speak.

im glad we finally have a test. student loan interest suspension is good gesture, but as i describe above, falls far short of what is actually needed

the speech itself? what's to discuss, that he treated it as a borderline campaign event? complaining about obamacare.gov, complaining about democrats in the house, having a parade of CEO's take turns giving him hand jobs on stage, lying about how tremendous their response timing was with respect to the disease...

funny how he was shaking hands with a ton of them, touching the podium and mic and other people with the same hand, etc., all after repeatedly telling everyone to have better hygiene

[Spurs Homer]

Reporter: “what is the date of the testing being available? Can you guarantee the date that every person canbe tested?

Biggest Liar on the Planet: “pretty quickly”


lol

[phxspurfan]

people keep harping on the cruise ship. No one cares about the cruise ship.

he's a person and we literally all slip up regardless. yall act like the dude is a programmed robot who should have all the right answers no matter what.

the funny thing is the fact that i've been told forever, by exclusively libs, that presidents don't mean much and they're just there as a face but when trump got in to office the tune changed to he's a dictator and will control us all. smh

i care less about those gaffes. care more about a guy who has slashed CDC funding and disbanded the pandemic response team to pay for tax cuts for the rich. care more about a guy who wasn't taking this virus seriously until just recently, having called it a hoax, pretending it's just going to go away, claiming that in a matter of days it will be down to 5 or less cases (with no basis in fact), and delayed what should have been a much quicker response

Explain to me how an actual National Emergency frees up $50 billion or so, but we can 'inject' $1.5 Trillion in a whim to the financial sector?

(sorry, this post isn't about loving or hating trump)

Emergency = tax dollars.

Fed liquidity = private money from the Federal reserve into liquidity (inter-bank lending) markets, although technically they putting up fiat money if memory serves. pledging assets on the books. Will spend some time looking at the mechanics now that I try and explain it, I realize my understanding is not as solid as I usually prefer.

Markets seemed to like it. Administration finally doing something decisive other than lying about everything. +10%. Almost certain to plummet as bad news trickles in over the weekend, IMO.

We have a test... but not enough capacity. They are trying to lie about that bit, of course. Won't be able to hide it for too long. If the numbers of performed tests don't skyrocket in a week, they will have failed spectacularly, and it will get very very bad.

& the old man keeps insisting on shaking hands with everyone. He is one glorious stubborn son-of-a-gun.

They are going to cut food stamps. to save money.

The Trump administration is moving forward with a rule change that could kick 700,000 Americans off food stamps (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-rule-change-kicks-food-stamps-americans-off-coronavirus-outbreak-2020-3)
