Coronavirus Numbers

[Rockie]

There are countless losers Tailgunner, but I agree with your sentiment that we get past this ASAP and start the road back to normal.

[palebird]

Has anyone here ever heard of Sweden? Or Iceland? Or South Korea? Or Taiwan to name a few countries that are Ist world and have not locked down the population? They are doing just fine and their economies are in intact. Figure it out.

You have to check this out and tell me they are wrong.

That's science and statistics vs. theory and fear mongering.

AAEM-ACEP Joint Statement on Physician Misinformation

The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) jointly and emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical society and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

COVID-19 misinformation is widespread and dangerous. Members of AAEM and ACEP are first-hand witnesses to the human toll that COVID-19 is taking on our communities. AAEM and ACEP strongly advise against using any statements of Drs. Erickson and Massihi as a basis for policy and decision making.

Until you Ripplerock I’ve never heard of anybody besides Trump who would muse aloud or inside their own empty skull if injecting disinfectant would be anything but lethal. Actually not true, hundreds of Darwin contenders looked into it according to poison control agencies. So there’s that.

Happily the laymen I live around are much smarter than them, or you.

Fake news reporters like Rockie like to make you think that this is true when it is not. Why do I say this....

https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus ... story.html

"An unusually high number of New Yorkers contacted city health authorities over fears that they had ingested bleach or other household cleaners in the 18 hours that followed President Trump’s bogus claim that injecting such products could cure coronavirus, the Daily News has learned.
The Poison Control Center, a subagency of the city’s Health Department, managed a total of 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday, a spokesman said.
None of the people who reached out died or required hospitalization, the spokesman said.
But compared to last year, the number of cases was worthy of a double-take."

Gee, all these people supposedly took poison but none required hospitalization....I wonder why. I'll tell you why. Because they were fake calls by Democrat supporters trying to make it look like Trump was causing poisonings when in fact, there were none due to Trump. Of course, the fake news reported it all and naive people believe it.

What scam will the anti-Trumpers do next.

I guess I have to say it again Pelmet. Learn to read.

May 4th ring any bells here, say 50 yrs ago. Certainly does mine as 4 kids were killed at Kent State on a protest against a POTUS who was a half bar above the current slime ball Trump and that’s not saying much. I was going into my first yr university that year and the US of A was ugly then 1970-74 when Nixon resigned in disgrace.

[ayseven]

I am not a crook! Sadly for nowadays, people cared about that sort of thing then. Now they just twist everything around to suit their agenda.

[Rockie]

People used to peacefully protest such worthy causes as civil rights and war, and too often gave their life for what they believed. Now heavily armed imbecilic goons storm state legislatures for something...I'm still not sure what. Neither are they.

Interesting article -

Public health and medical experts around the world are unanimous and vocal about what's needed to safely re-open society absent a vaccine which may never come.

Testing and tracing.
Testing and tracing.
Testing and tracing.
Testing and tracing.

Both many times more capable than what anyone except a very few countries currently have. What concerns me greatly is that if Canada in particular has a real plan to ramp up testing and tracing to the level required they are keeping it a very closely held secret. I've heard of nothing save Alberta's voluntary phone application which doesn't even begin to address the critical requirement.

What am I missing?

Put those awesome research skills to use Pelmet and collate two columns, one for right wing violence and one for left wing. Do bombs and guns first, then knives, then lynchings, then beatings. Don’t forget mowing down innocent people in cars either.

Seriously Pelmet. Do it.

While you’re at it show up at the armed occupations and ask a sampling of dimwits where they sit on the political spectrum and which career criminal they support for President. Shouldn’t be too hard even for someone like you.

Gee, I just said I agreed with you and showed the attempted massacre of politicians in the US by a member of the Democrat party. Right wing....Nazis, left wing....commies. All killed millions. Mowing down people in cars...sounds to me like most coverage in the last few years has been terrorism in the name of islam. Guns....most deaths I believe are young black men....you can let me know who the perpetrators are. Knives....most of the media in the last few years has been about London in certain neighbourhoods...you can search and let me know which. Lynchings….I only heard something about that happening to Jussie Smollet...remind me of the details Rockie. There were some fake pipe bombs by a Trump supporter though...a Hispanic no less. Guess he really wants to BUILD THAT WALL.

I do enjoy proving him wrong over and over...or as a hypocrite.

But we should get back on track for discussing how to get herd immunity as quick as possible while quarantining the vulnerable(vulnerable to Covid effects that is...not vulnerable to Rockie's B.S.)

[Rockie]

See post above about testing and tracing Pelmet. Any thoughts about that? Are you using your unequalled access and influence with government to put in place the required level of those before attempting your dangerous theory?

If so there’s no evidence of it, so I’ll just let you infect you and your entire family first (assuming you include them in the herd) and me and mine will wait.

By the way have you discussed this with your family and they’re willing to take part in your experiment too?

Weird, at first I thought Simon Pegg’s been hitting the gym. But then he opened his mouth.

[ayseven]

If not from the media, where do you suppose we get our news? Trump, Rupert Murdoch, or not at all? The big business people and the mafia both love silence.

Just keep a tally of every time you enter a cloud on a scrap of paper. Add them up at the end of the flight, and log .1 IMC for each... on a good flight you can probably log up to 20 hours of instrument time.

Log your air time as IFR. It's what I was taught and I'm sure many others.

20 hours of instrument time in a 14-hour duty day? Yeah, that's believable.

Testing and tracing are increasing but we can't wait, the economy needs to be opened although I am open to the ideas of people insisting that it stay closed having some of their wealth taken to pay for those who remain unemployed. Seizure could start with their pensions. Not likely to happen but I do have ideas on how to stimulate the economy too.

As for family...I am happy for a strong stay in room quarantine for you and your family Rockie until there is a vaccine(or at least stay on property).

I have discussed my ideas with family and they say it is logical, although my elderly parents seem more interested in just going out regardless of whether there is any social distancing policies or not. They are the ones at risk and they are the ones that need to be quarantined, not 90% or more of the population.

But, I see that the governments are not following my recommendations(such as my recommended policy on old folks homes). It would work but not all people listen to reason.
