Called it. Refrigerated carcass trucks called back into action

This a real-time summation?

No rabbit holes.

If you want to explain how your Texas statistics conspiracy theory fits into your overall pandemic conspiracy theory, go right ahead.

2 million dead if we do nothing wasn't an unreasonable projection, we could conceivably get to half a million deaths in the 12 month period.

Considering what hospitals in Texas are going through now and what NYC hospitals just went through, it was hardly irresponsible to splash Italy all over the news --- the opposite of this seems true to me.

Btw, neither Manny or I have compared COVID-19 to the Black Plague. Haven't seen anyone here who did, tbh.

I'm not trying to call you out or anything, just illustrating that I'm and many others arent motivated by how the probable death toll will help or hurt "our side" politically. I dont accuse you of that either.

As for 2 million dead, that was with 60 million infected, so it means a potential 10 million dead if the virus infected everyone.

I agree, 300-500k is probably where we'll wind up before vaccine, herd immunity, etc.

no. I've seen those sausages you call fingers.

I would offer you my standard bet but knowing you have a ty job that you cannot even take a day off when you have COVID, you'd not be able to cover and I am not interested in your Sanyo receiver.

This entire thing has become political, unfortunately. Conservatives just don't want to accept that there's once again a peak coming because they fear maybe a shutdown which hurts the economy which hurts Trump. Or the conspiratorial types who think wearing a mask is the equivalent of the Nazis labeling Jews with gold stars.

"B-B-But libruls hype the situation hoping to hurt Trump!"

Perhaps some do, but I got into arguments with MannyisGod and Winehole at the start of it by saying this isn't the black plague. And I didn't like the media's reporting early on, with the constant Italy footage and flashing the Imperial projections on screen (i.e. Experts Project Up To 2 Million Dead).

So is the claim bull or not? It seems obvious that the left is using fear mongering to try to gain votes in November. Why would anyone think otherwise? The right would do it if the left was in the WH.

[DMC]

True there's a lot of half truths/bull just for fear mongering. The actual situation is explained in the article.

Way ahead of you actually.

I will stick with the caveat that many places are procuring refrigerated trucks and trailers in anticipation of the possibility their morgues will fill up. Some places have probably done this before with hurricanes, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that Texas does not count probable COVID deaths in their public reports, so there are likely even more bodies than normal+listed COVID.

Authorities have to prepare in advance for things that may or may not happen regardless of your narrative.

Sure, sausage fingers. Sure.

I mean if John Carlos Estrada said it then it must be true. It's on Twitter.

How long you think until we get New York / Iran style mass graves?

He's a TV newsman in your city who provided links to other news outlets and a video of his own report.

[TimDunkem]

And now they're scrubbing some of the probable Covid cases because they use an antigen test.

Smh

All you can do at this point is shake your head.
