COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

[forgetful]

This is significant.

@StarTribune: The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic are close to unveiling antibody tests that can determine if people have already been infected by the coronavirus that caused COVID-19 and are no longer threats to get or spread the infection. http://strib.mn/3bAks3J

Nice job Mayo.

This is direct from White House.gov's transcript:

---------------------------------------

What is Seoul's population?  It's 9.7 million.  The metro area is 25 million.  But for absolutely no reason at all he feels the need to tell the American people that he knows South Korea better than anyone.  How does this help?  And then he's wrong.  And that doesn't even matter because of our last 7-8 Presidents, I would guess only Obama and maybe GHWB would know that population.  But why introduce it into the talk.  It serves no good.  In a crisis he's bragging about his South Korea knowledge.  We have never seen this.   I am a life long GOPer and I just face palm every time he talks.  It's unreal.

There was a video a while back of all the times Trump has said "I know more about XX than anyone". something like 23 different topics. Lying about your expertise is another of 4ever's examples of "outstanding leadership".

You know, there are lots and lots of people who have spent their wholes lives studying infectious diseases. Why don't we let them share their expertise and information at this time?

Ah, here it is: he knows more than everyone else about every single subject.

Nope

The studies are in numerous real life recoveries of real lives, but maybe if you'd ask the same of those people who's loved ones are here to talk about their experiences today, they might be able to help ya out

If you have access to wsj, they have a nice write up

It's working for some critically ill patients. For others it is not and they are dying. In dentistry school do they teach you the difference between anecdotal evidence and double blinded studies? If not, stay in your lane. And to respond to your previous response to me... I am a conservative. I voted for this idiot and every other GOP president before him. The difference is I can take off the blinders despite it not fitting my political party.  He has f'ed this up beyond belief.  If I seem angry, it's because I am. You're welcome to come see patients with me that I can't test and don't have the PPE to protect myself from once you get back from Arizona ... then tell me how the president is doing.  He is a narcissistic liar

The United States and South Korea had their first cases on the same day. The U.S. has had 3,138 deaths since, including 593 in the past 24 hours. South Korea has had 158.

We went from 15 American cases... this will soon be over, to "this is the next Democratic hoax" to "100,000 American deaths is a strong possibility and would be a success."  There have been 44,000 new US cases in the last 48 hrs.  The Sherman Park neighborhood in Milwaukee is a "hotspot " and the ICU at my hospital is overflowing.

Unfortunately I'm worried 100,000 deaths may be low.  Some of the models predict 400,000 due to lack of US detection of the disease related to inadequate testing.  To keep perspective, 60,000 American died in the Vietnam War.  The Easter end to social distancing was always a joke and wrong.  The president stating this created confusion. Fortunately the President is finally listening to the scientists and experts.  Ironically it appears it took a friend of his to become critically ill in a coma to see the truth.  The reality is we are all shaped by our experiences.  Stay the f$ck home everybody

Wishing you the best, and thank you for what you do. One of my friends in NYC was in a similar boat, having to treat patients without PPE, because they had none left. A couple days ago she became ill, fortunately, so far a mild case for her.

Do your best to stay safe, and again, thank you.

Stay safe, and thank you for fighting for all of us!

My family and I are doing our small part by staying home, and I hope all non-essential workers are doing the same.

To be fair, if it's like his sports takes, he glanced at 2 headlines for 5 seconds and created his bulletproof arrogant opinion without bothering with facts, names, or mitigating factors

Or it could be that after hearing ambulances go past his house 24/7 and seeing folks brought out of Elmhurst in body body bags every hour, Mike just decided enough was enough.  Then he gets to see trump bring out some grifter pillow salesman to complain that there's not enough God in the churches. And to top it off , the no nothings love it.

The dude seriously needs to learn to say "I don't know" or just shut his mouth when he doesn't know something. He starts sentences without knowing where he will end up, and just keeps going.
