Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

which is why the US needs to drop some A bombs all over that rathole country

Rooting for complete economic collapse and the death of millions of Americans. Interesting strategy.

I think they’ve got big plans for us.

Same here. From the start I didnt think this getting released was an accident.

Sweet will they let the CDC in to observe and study it? Or they going to force the worlds health communities face it with no way to brace again?

I don't know...why don't you ask your church these questions?

Nor a guy who made inappropriate comments about his own daughter. At least my example is factual

And mine is not? Tell yourself whatever you need to so that you can stomach that you are going to vote for Joe.

It's easy to stomach considering the incumbent. Otherwise, I might punt or I would vote for a sensible Republican who's both fiscally and militarily conservative

I think the chinese generally view them in a worse light than they do the CDC. But that may have changed.

I'll bite: For instance?

They’ve never hidden their agenda, which is to engage the US militarily at some point. They state that in all of their military literature and teach their soldiers that we are their number 1 enemy. We’ve underestimated their agenda.

Le sigh. Such a great tactic. Ignore previously presented information in the hope that your opponent grows tired of making the same argument.

EU 25.4 million tests. Notice that this includes several non EU states in Europe.
Europe: coronavirus testing by country | Statista

America 33.6 million tests.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

So despite being 100 million larger than us (+27%) they are doing 8 million less (-25%) testing than us.

I also havent seen if they are reporting positives like we are or having the same issues.

Should u just go ahead and add this to my multi quote for the next time I have to present it?

I guess the numbers will change over time. So it will be worth refreshing to work with actual numbers and not assumptions like some.

Total cases is a terrible metric to use to compare. The standards are very different. What tests are considered? How effective are the tests? Who is getting tested? Are they based on unique individuals? Or can an individual test positive multiple times?

Deaths is a very defined metric. You’re either dead or not. The US topped out at 8 deaths per million on 5/7 and are currently at 1 death per million. The EU topped out at 64 deaths per million on 4/13 and are currently at 1.3 deaths per million.

It's still, far and away, in both country's best interests to never engage in a military conflict

Sshhh...... @Septic had a pretty graph.

So releasing pathogens is a prelude to engaging our military?

If this came out as a purposely released attack by the Chinese government I hope we do.

Well, according to a previous post, we are going to see round two emanating from China. Another accident/coincidence?

 

[utvolpj]

I just confused as to why all these people are even getting tested

If there's a confirmed case at one of our offices/warehouses all at risk employees need to have a negative test to return to work. I would imagine we are not alone

The liability in doing anything less could prove to be off the charts.

Libs always love talking about Europe. Wouldn’t we all be happier if they could all just move there.

ust a curious question, who do they consider 'at risk' ?

 

[utvolpj]

ust a curious question, who do they consider 'at risk' ?

Anyone who came in contact with the person who tested positive. They do tracing and err on the side of caution. Just had one in our office and they cleared out about 6-8 people

Depends did the second virus come from a lab as well?

Yep it's expensive to quarantine and pay for extra cleaning (of some very large spaces) but less than it could possibly be

The CDC guidelines are pretty lax to be honest

 

[hUTch2002]

I don't care who says it, I will never wear a mask

F it. Let’s all stay home and wear masks for 30 days. I wonder what the next thing would be after that because the virus would still be around.

Does anyone on here even disagree that the virus will have to run its course? I assume not. We can’t stop it. So why not get this over with if it has to happen at some point?

No, no. This is about flattening the curve, oh wait, sorry I got lost.

Eventually we will all come into contact with the virus. It is getting a little close to my family. My wife's cousin brought it home to his mom who is in her 70"s. He got it from work and was asymptomatic, She was on the verge of death for about 20 days. My niece works in Pigeon Forge is being tested right now because a cook where she works tested positive. A guy that I work with told me his adult daughter tested positive last Tuesday. He has been tested and was negative.She works in a local restaurant. She only felt sick enough to let her employer know and only felt that way for a few hours.

How close to home is it getting for y'all.

Also, All of the people that I mentioned wear a mask.

Just a quick update:
My nieces test came back negative, However 10 other employees came back positive.

The guy that I work with daughter has now tested negative and his whole family tested again and are negative.

15 days to flatten the curve, I’m sure you remember that
