Harsh, but without a doubt a lot closer to the truth.
So weird question. The main reason why this thing is so contagious is because of asymptomatic/presymptomatic carriers. So in that case if we can cause enough of a decline so then when we can go out and mask usage is used on a wider scale wouldn't that heavily reduce the contagiousness of the Virus alone?
You shouldn't feel good, Mexico's numbers are a big fat lie. They are using the "centinela" method which is saving money (for the gov of course), they only test people if they're almost dying (I know a doctor who has all of the symptoms, even pneumonia and they still have not tested him becaue he is not grave enough) you can look up the interview with that Gatel dude. You really think Mexico would have such low numbers?, really?, have you looked outside your window and seen all the stupid people out and about with no protection?.I'm really surprised at how my local government has handled this whole thing. They just revealed a map with "infection/recovered cases" zones, in order to indicate which areas have registered cases, it's just a regular ass map without specific locations to avoid possible hostility towards sick people (yeah, they went "don't be an asshole on these people, please" in the press conference) and luckily my area hasn't registered any cases, and they're more focused in the exit towards the main metropolitan area.
I'm sorry if I'm just throwing words around here without context, but I suppose this kind of info can help people to know which areas aren't "safe" for outsiders. And so far, the ICU beds have been doubled by uniting efforts with public and private hospitals, so should the serious cases percentage increases, we'll still have a good buffer to avoid a collapse. I'm still angry at the federal government, but local one in Nuevo León is kicking ass right now. I feel a lot better mentally after today's news.
Not sure if it's in this but initially the Republican plan takes power from the governor and gives the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee the ability to make state budget cuts as it deems necessary and eliminate a raise for state workers next year if state revenues dip dramatically. Basically they can cut without any input from the governor at all because they have a veto proof majority.I can't wait to hear Trump talk about how they are only doing that to make him look bad :/
Do you know what's in the package that the dems would vote against?
they aren't. There's a whole lot of milestones to meet to when they would even be able to begin such measures, including testing ability, contact tracing, hospital expansion, etc.I hope they're not trying to implement that right away, doing so would be super stupid.
I'm talking about Nuevo León right now, I'm furious with the federal government and the CDMX for not stopping Vive Latino. Actions in here began to take place long before AMLO and his cronies decided to order social distancing, when we began doing that stuff weeks before, when Pal Norte got oficially cancelled. Municipal governments have been trying to do testing, isolating zones and doing contact tracing for confirmed cases in the best way they can it shows it's working, people are being obtuse for not using masks at stores and ignoring social distancing, but that's beyond the government reach if they don't want to listen.You shouldn't feel good, Mexico's numbers are a big fat lie.

Actually they don't necessarily care about the citizens. They only care as much as keeping the CCP in power and not losing the Mandate of Heaven to rule. This is a common theme throughout Chinese history.

Madrid registra 2.820 mayores fallecidos con síntomas de Covid-19 en residencias.Un total de 2.820 ancianos con síntomas de la enfermedad han fallecido en las residencias de mayores de la Comunidad de Madrid, según ha informado el consejero de Sanidad, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, mientras que 616 personas sospechosas de haber contraído el virus han muerto en domicilios y 4 en la vía pública. La Comunidad de Madrid acumula al menos 10.017 muertos que dieron positivo por coronavirus o eran sospechosos de tenerlo, puesto que a los 6.568 que refleja la estadística oficial del Ministerio de Sanidad se sumarían 2.820 muertos con síntomas en residencias, 616 en domicilios, 4 en la calle y 9 del Instituto de Medicina Legal. El consejero ha dado estos datos durante una comparecencia por videoconferencia en la comisión de Sanidad de la Asamblea de Madrid, en la que ha reconocido que seguramente el número de fallecidos fuera de hospitales sea "mayor" debido al "decalaje" entre la notificación de estas muertes y su registro por parte de Salud Pública. En su opinión, "con todos esos datos" se irá clarificando "la cifra real de fallecidos" en esta pandemia. (Efe)
It was heading that way anyway without the NY adjustment, but now today might be the absolute death peak (let's hope so).
I posted this the other day, but I moved to nyc last summer. I've been down at my families house in the south since the end of February because I had a feeling things would get bad. My lease ends at the end of July and I'm not sure I'll stay in nyc.
The thought of being afraid to use the subway and being trapped in my tiny apartment for so long terrifies me. I don't think my mental health could handle it.
For every single one leaving a dozen will try to take their place.
yep. since the start this thread has been like this.
it's best for your anyone's mental health to stay the fuck away from this thread.
Really didn't know, I assumed it had gone over 2K before, but not by how much.. :s... this shit can't go away soon enough...It was heading that way anyway without the NY adjustment, but now today might be the absolute death peak (let's hope so).
Yes we are already at a new peak death day even without counting the extra deaths from New York
So they're gonna experiment with Natural Selection, huh?
These rural states gonna learn.
In a vacuum it makes sense but it's still the Trump administration and they want to go quicker than a lot might like, but biggest of all I'm not sure any state will have testing capabilities needed to open by May 1. That's the biggest sticking point. We need to ramp that up A LOT.Just briefly looking at it, I think it's actually laid out pretty carefully. Similar to what the governor of California mentioned. There is risk of course but if we can get our testing numbers substantially higher then it's possibly to mitigate depending on area
No one expects the world to be completely shut in until a vaccine.people are going to have to accept that life (with lots of adjustments like conferences, concerts, movie theaters, etc) is going to go on without the vaccine, that schools will be open in the fall and all will not be perfect. The world is not going to shut in until a vaccine is developed and it's not good for your mental health to anticipate that when

My fiancee is in South Dakota at her mom's.
There will be hell to pay if either of them get this.
Fuck, I hate Kristi Noem, fucking bitch.
Actually yes they do don't be narcissistic and speak for everyone else.
Asia Today: China wet markets panned, India extends lockdown
BANGKOK — Australia’s prime minister has described as “unfathomable” the World Health Organization’s support for the reopening of markets where live animals are butchered in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the coronavirus pandemic.“We need to protect the world against potential sources...ca.yahoo.com
What is the WHO thinking? How does this help anyone? Can someone explain to me how this does not worsen the situation or rearms the virus for a second wave. Why not be cautious and keep these markets closed and reopened when they are deemed not to contribute to health crises local and abroad. The WHO is dropping the ball here.
I'm sorry to hear. I hope things turn around before it's too late. I just read an article about how in one city, there are 50 hospital beds and the next closest hospital is 140 mi away.
Bruh!
That is a true statement even if we assume the numbers are 100% accurate in the US and ignore that they are under testing so there are likely a lot of unconfirmed cases, and ignore that a lot of people viewed Easter as a cheat day like on a diet and though "it's just one day." before they went to see their families and friends.
Actually yes they do don't be narcissistic and speak for everyone else.
Can you point out who said anything about "completely shut" until a vaccine is available? There are a wide range of measures between that and the old normal.
There's lots of places like that all over the country.
Here's a breakdown by county, for every state, of hospitals with an ICU and without.
I live in rural California and our hospital has 25 beds and no ICU. The nearest hospital with an ICU is Reno, 80 miles away.
We're seriously going to be fucked hard if this thing hits hard.
Luckily, my fiancée and her mom live 40 miles from Rapid City, which does have the major hospital.
My issue is that I'm in California and can't be there if something were to happen (and vice versa with me).
Noem's response, or lack there of, is par for the course for that useless sack of shit.
Sioux Falls is getting fucked hard because of her inaction and she could care less.
Minnehaha County, where Sioux Falls is located, has 768 confirmed cases, the entire state has 988.
25% of the state's cases are in one county and that's a direct result of her having her head shoved up Trump's ass.
There's a reason why she's pushing for hydroxychloroquine study, using the citizens of South Dakota as guinea pigs.
The only person I hate more then this vapid bitch is Trump.
Well first off I don't recall the word "completely shut" out of my mouth so you already lost me there
Is there a large Native population there? In SD?
I'm incredulous AF about testing.
Yes, there is.
Here's a map of the reservations in South Dakota.
If this thing starts spreading through the reservations, they're fucked and Noem won't lift a goddamn finger to help.
Native Americans in that state are still getting fucked over by the state government.
NYC has revised its death count upwards by more than 3k- Over 10K deaths in NYC alone.

Those people would be in the massive minority. At best it is 3-5 years before most of the world is inoculated. Do you think people can last that long without work or living lifestyles where they can barely leave their home? Unlikely.Actually yes they do don't be narcissistic and speak for everyone else.
