Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[hater]

wuhan officially open to outbound traffic

[hater]

Does anyone think this virus was accidentally leaked out of Wuhan Ins ute of Virology? Possibly a researcher became infected? And, how wise is it to have a Biosafety level 4 lab in a city the size of Wuhan?

dont think its in the city. its like 80km away like 50miles I think?

lots of conspiracy theories out there. theres one that it got out of a US army base right before it was closed down by the CDC. fort something

I believe the scientists so far and think it started at the wuhan market

I love the eternal optimism, but these people are so far gone and it's been obvious for quite some time. They don't reason. And it's not just wingnut, that's like 90% of the base.

The left is pushing a narrative that Trump is pushing drugs because he has a $100(or something like that) interested in a company. Yes, "these people" are so far gone.

nobody's pushing that. everyone is mocking it. find another strawman

Grim bizness, as the old Cubster would say.

More likely than not

TLDR
In 2005 virologists from Wuhan Ins ute of Virology discovered a cave full of Horseshoe Bats that carried hundreds of coronavirus species. One of the coronaviruses they discovered in the bats was almost identical to Covid-19.

How fascinating they said, let's take these bats back to the Wuhan lab for study.

Great detective work, guyz!

Say China denies it.

Now what?

Certainly don't prepare for another pandemic!

Ten times as many New Yorkers are dying in their homes than normal and they aren’t being tested for COVID-19

Yep, they're going to have to run comparisons to previous years to even get an estimate and the right wing will never count them. We're gonna get Puerto Rico'd.

uhhh...you think the healthcare people in New York might have better things to do than test dead people? ing armchair quarterbacks suck.

he posted without comment and I said nothing about prioritizing the testing of the dead.

Defensive much?

the "ten times" tells they already know the avg home death rate per month.

[ChumpDumper]

I mean even the article says this:

I should note that this is not some conspiracy to conceal the true number of fatalities caused by the pandemic. Insufficient testing capacity has been a consistent issue from the beginning of the outbreak, and confirming that the dead had the disease would be a poor use of such scarce resources

[ChumpDumper]

Understood. Would be nice if there was some way to keep some sample to test later but it's just going to be another in a long line of cluster s.

american muppets always like to blame someone

not surprised they have plenty to blame. except themselves

until most of americans realize their economic system is designed and maintained to keep rich people richer, they will never get it

[midnightpulp]

"I was hoping for unity on things I've always wanted."

Why would republicans/conservatives be against min wage earners making more (you don't think it's re ed that some moron can make millions streaming Fortnite, while the grocers and fast food workers are literally risking health to keep society running?) and less reliance on foreign manufacturing (hasn't that been a "promise" of Lord Trump?).

But yeah, you'll never be on board with universal healthcare (yet you're on board with a universal national defense that costs trillions upon trillions upon trillions and has done little more than play cowboys and Indians with goat herders).

How about the word of an expert?

Who said anything about New Yorkers' being the right wingers?

You calmed down yet?

A new HHS inspector general report details “severe shortages” facing hospitals dealing with the pandemic.
https://www.vox.com/2020/4/6/2120952...services-trump

A report released Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) inspector general details the “severe shortages” of testing supplies and medical gear experienced by hospitals, and alludes to the disorganized nature of the federal response.

The government report stands in contrast to the rhetoric coming from the government’s top elected official. President Donald Trump wants you to believe that officials who have criticized his administration’s coronavirus response are part of a plot to take him down, and despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary, he insists federal agencies have done “an unbelievable,” “incredible” job procuring supplies for states.

SnakeBoy and Darrin will never acknowledge any of this. They'd rather get mad at me.
