Well, California didnt wait long to start rubbing it in.  Im just waiting for Newsome to declare that, "The Nation-State of California is prepared to supply spare ventilators to help poor people living in ****-hole countries like The-Rest-of-the-United-States."

Well, he did say "virtually". Which is correct since it's not real, it might be virtual in his head.

Then we could debate what the word "World" means to him. I'm pretty sure World ends at the Canadian and Mexican borders to him. Everything else is not relevant.

Nothing screams the Republican contempt for science better than their amazing president proudly declaring that this virus is so dangerous, that even antibiotics don’t work against it. Absolute ****s for brains, everyone who voted for this and everyone who continues to defend this.

From the Gilead article:

Quote

Before the treatment, 30 patients were on mechanical ventilators, and four were on a machine that pumps blood from the patient’s body through an artificial oxygenator. After a median follow-up of 18 days, 36 patients, or 68%, had an improvement in oxygen-support class, including more than half of the 30 patients receiving mechanical ventilation who had their breathing tubes removed. A total of 25 patients, or 47%, were discharged from the hospital. Seven patients, 13% of the total, died.

 

Twelve patients, 23%, had serious side effects including multiple-organ-dysfunction syndrome, septic shock and acute kidney injury.

I wonder.  Did 9/11 kill more people than the flu, that year?  

 

We probably should have ignored it.  

 

 

 

One is a natural occurrence and one is a criminal act. This is an extremely poor analogy. It’s possible to point out someone else’s stupidity without dusting off one’s own.

How much y'all want to bet the White House already knew that about the false negative rates to keep the numbers down?

Actually, I think they’re sticking with their original game plan. After all, 100% of those not tested appear to be negative. Even an imbecile like Tя☭mp knows that 100% is more than 33%. 

 

On another note, I posted a while back about the greying of the nursing workforce. I have to think that after this is over, many of those nurses are going to retire. Many, maybe most of them of all ages were burned out and running on fumes before the pandemic and this was probably the final straw. The second wave will almost certainly make up the minds of any of the rest straddling the fence after the first wave ends. This will be a much longer term problem to fix. After all, there’s not much that says “we don’t give a **** about you” more than an employer and country that sends you into battle without regard for your life and the welfare of your family. That’s some Al Qaeda or Islamic State type **** right there.

Unless of course, one is responding to the assertion that anything which turns out to kill fewer people than the flu, should be ignored. In which case, "kills less people than the flu" is the only characteristic the analogy has to meet.
