Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[Splits]

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.

Does anyone think this virus was accidentally leaked out of Wuhan Ins ute of Virology? Possibly a researcher became infected?

More likely than not

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/he...26f1c4839b9777

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!

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

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).

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.

[ChumpDumper]

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

That guy's gonna get fired. Trumpistas here will say inspectors general bad now.

Horrific Twitter thread by New York City health committee chair raises concerns on COVID-19 deaths

officials are considering temporarily burying people who die from COVID-19 in local parks

due to the number of increasing dead bodies and lack of space in freezers

at Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) facilities in the state.

“A typical hospital morgue might hold 15 bodies. Those are now all full.

So OCME has sent out 80 refrigerated trailers to hospitals around the city.

Each trailer can hold 100 bodies.

These are now mostly full too.

Some hospitals have had to add a 2nd or even a 3rd trailer,”

"It's just the flu" "15 cases, going zero" "will disappear, magic!?
