Oso planning to go pro
Dude, wtf are you talking about?
LGW had a post claiming that Trump acted before any other politicians did. Because it was so absurd, it was deleted. He then complained (we left that), and sent me a PM that my bias was showing (OK, fine), and that he's done here forever (also fine).
Good thing the citizens of Milwaukee County brought this man to prominence. @SheriffClarke: It is now evident that this is an orchestrated attempt to destroy CAPITALISM. First sports, then schools and finally commercial businesses. Time to RISE UP and push back. Bars and restaurants should defy the order. Let people decide if they want to go out @SheriffClarke: Not ONE media outlet has asked about George Soros’s involvement in this FLU panic. He is SOMEWHERE involved in this.@SheriffClarke: Folks, the LEFT has collapsed our institutions that have served us in times of trouble. TAKE...TO ...THE...STREETS. That is the battlefield the LEFT has defined. I will no longer sit back and watch the destruction of this great republic over the FLU.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
My hospital - and most in state of Indiana - have suspended elective surgeries.Unprecedented
This isn’t intended to be political, but Illinois chugging forward with its primary on Tuesday seems foolish.
Just here to say that the mods have done a great job during this situation. No young future moderator of a midwestern private unversity's basketball message board grows up intending to have to decide which posts live or die in the midst of a pandemic - but ya'll have been very present and done a great job and the board is better for it. .
Ur an idiot https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-coronavirus-story-was-ignored-by-media-obsessed-with-impeachment.amp
Where did you see this? Can’t find it on Twitter.
This administration responded before the DemsBefore the media who was more concerned with impeachment in January. This was a story on Tucker Carlsons show as early as January 15th...The media the Dems were nowhere.Trump shut down the borders and was highly criticized.Get a clue.This crap is allowed and my post calling out the Administration, the Dems and the Media was deleted.crap...Sorry this is for the post by MU dish ripping the administration"If this virus happened under any other president in history, it would be a no-brainer. But these are dire times.Still, I'll be shocked if it isn't postponed by midday tomorrow."Should be removed if you are going to remove mine...
If your interested in some additional sobering news. An infectious disease doc told me that they are being told that it has been confirmed that COVID-19 is airborne, and can be spread even after the infected person has left a room, or possibly through ventilation ducts. That is different than it being spread through droplets in the air.There was preliminary research before.https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-can-spread-as-an-aerosol.htmlThey are now being told it has been confirmed.
Wow - that is truly frightening.
While Trump certainly deserves criticism for some of the things he has said, he has done things well too. Shutting down travel from China was absolutely the right move, and he was called xenophobic and racist for it. He was right in shutting down travel from Europe, and got criticized for leaving the UK and Ireland open, because they had far fewer cases. That changed the next day, on both counts. Honestly, I can completely understand thinking this was a lot of hype before we saw what happened in Italy (I have to admit, I kind of did). The reactions in Japan and South Korea weren't as devastating, and I don't know if you can ever believe anything one way or another that you hear from the Chinese government. But the way that Italy descended into turmoil pretty quickly was frightening. As far as Western countries go, the US seems to be doing a better job than anyone in the EU (it seems like Germany is doing ok...). It seems like we have reacted and put measures in place far earlier on in the outbreak than other nations, and yes, we have the advantage of being farther away and the advantage of seeing what happened in places like Italy. But the UK had the same advantage, and their plan seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and a great way to make the outbreak last longer, I'm not a doctor, but it seems like most doctors think their strategy isn't so great. South Korea seems to be containing the virus with mass testing and distancing, we are at least following part of that protocol. I get that things that work in Eastern cultures may not work in the West, but it would be foolish not to pay attention to a system that is working pretty well to say the least. According to the chart above, less than a 1% mortality rate so far. But that data doesn't tell the whole story, as this virus clearly has demographics where it is not dangerous at all and others where it is terribly lethal, so maybe SK just isn't getting the elderly infected? Maybe all their testing is giving a truer mortality rate where other countries are missing the milder cases. I don't know, but you would hope the powers that be, not just here but everywhere, are really watching South Korea.
