Whatever doctoring they are doing in Westchester NY, given the latest from JH webstats, it seems people should listen to them: 9326 confirmed positive tests 10 deaths. To this point and of course there are delayed stats to come.

no, trump was talking about us totals. abbott about texas. both would indicate yuge, 60-70-80+% negative tests. Why? Edit: Why specifically since there seems to be a negative impression on the amount of testing. If the testing is so bad you would think the positive testing % would at least be 50-50? Or are we, in Texas, or nationwide, not asking the right questions on who should be tested even with the now expanding testing available?

140k tests but 160k+ positive without the 2-48+hr wait for results? Edit: Abbott was saying less tahn 20% positive results, way less, for Texas. So what is the answer on big numbers of negative tests, is it normal?

Trump said yesterday there had been over 1 million tested in the USA as of yesterday. If that is true, with more positives coming from testing the last 48 hours before that announcement, it should be at about 250k positive tests. That means roughly 70% of the testing is showing negative for Covid. Is that a normal ratio given the well documented strictness with which the testing has being performed? The numbers seem to be even worse, wrt identifying who should be tested in Texas. Not a big deal for sure but is it a bunch of hypochondriacs, overly zealous doctors, or what?

Not to mention Biden's team showing pictures of kids in cages only to find out it was a picture of kids in cages while Biden was in charge.

Try this: Go to this site: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 Next click on "US" in the left most window That will change the data to places in the USA and center the map on it as well. Look for the window that is for Deaths and scroll down a tad to hit the "Snohomish, Washington, US" which will move the map over to the Washington state part of the map. Then you can zoom in or out,using the + and - or your wheel, to then click on the little or not so little red dots and view the small amount of detail for each place. edit: King Washington is actually a bit higher on the list so you can click on that as well. You will probably need to use the wheel of your mouse some to zoom in and might have to reclick the Washington state parts of the Death list to keep it recentering over it as you zoom in. The more you play with it the easier it is to use. Great tool for a shit situation.

Cheap and effective to take the top off of that itchy throat and post nasal drip brought on by some of the allergens out there. If I am doing something outside and the snot starts flowing I take one of these. It is only a 4 hour pill and it dries you out real good so drink a lot of water with it. It has a combo of an antihistamine and nasal decongestant in one cheap ass pill. (I think it is a knockoff of the old Actifed)

The Dr says zinc is one of the keys and that the hydroxychloroquine opens up the pathways that actually allow the zinc to be effective at blocking the coronavid, that the z-pack is mainly to keep the lungs from developing into the bacterial infection. I don't have a visceral reaction to Rudy but realize some do.

Don’t get too mad at Wang Linfa; he was making that assessment based upon the inaccurate information Chinese government was telling the world. Also that day, the CDC “issued a level 1 travel watch — the lowest of its three levels — for China’s outbreak. It said the cause and the transmission mode aren’t yet known, and it advised travelers to Wuhan to avoid living or dead animals, animal markets, and contact with sick people.” Also that day, the CDC offered to send a team to China to assist with the investigation. The Chinese government declined, but a WHO team that included two Americans would visit February 16. January 8: Chinese medical authorities claim to have identified the virus. Those authorities claim and Western media continue to repeat, “there is no evidence that the new virus is readily spread by humans, which would make it particularly dangerous, and it has not been tied to any deaths.” The official statement from the World Health Organization declares, “Preliminary identification of a novel virus in a short period of time is a notable achievement and demonstrates China’s increased capacity to manage new outbreaks . . . WHO does not recommend any specific measures for travelers. WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on the information currently available.” January 10: After unknowingly treating a patient with the Wuhan coronavirus, Dr. Li Wenliang started coughing and developed a fever. He was hospitalized on January 12. In the following days, Li’s condition deteriorated so badly that he was admitted to the intensive care unit and given oxygen support. The New York Times quotes the Wuhan City Health Commission’s declaration that “there is no evidence the virus can spread among humans.” Chinese doctors continued to find transmission among family members, contradicting the official statements from the city health commission. January 11: The Wuhan City Health Commission issues an update declaring, “All 739 close contacts, including 419 medical staff, have undergone medical observation and no related cases have been found . . . No new cases have been detected since January 3, 2020. At present, no medical staff infections have been found, and no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found.” They issue a Q&A sheet later that day reemphasizing that “most of the unexplained viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan this time have a history of exposure to the South China seafood market. No clear evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found.” Also on this day, political leaders in Hubei province, which includes Wuhan, began their regional meeting. The coronavirus was not mentioned over four days of meetings. January 13: Authorities in Thailand detected the virus in a 61-year-old Chinese woman who was visiting from Wuhan, the first case outside of China. “Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health, said the woman had not visited the Wuhan seafood market, and had come down with a fever on Jan. 5. However, the doctor said, the woman had visited a different, smaller market in Wuhan, in which live and freshly slaughtered animals were also sold.” January 14: Wuhan city health authorities release another statement declaring, “Among the close contacts, no related cases were found.” Wuhan doctors have known this was false since early December, from the first victim and his wife, who did not visit the market. The World Health Organization echoes China’s assessment: “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan, China.” This is five or six weeks after the first evidence of human-to-human transmission in Wuhan. January 15: Japan reported its first case of coronavirus. Japan’s Health Ministry said the patient had not visited any seafood markets in China, adding that “it is possible that the patient had close contact with an unknown patient with lung inflammation while in China.” The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins to change its statements, now declaring, “Existing survey results show that clear human-to-human evidence has not been found, and the possibility of limited human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out, but the risk of continued human-to-human transmission is low.” Recall Wuhan hospitals concluded human-to-human transmission was occurring three weeks earlier. A statement the next day backtracks on the possibility of human transmission, saying only, “Among the close contacts, no related cases were found.” January 17: The CDC and the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection announce that travelers from Wuhan to the United States will undergo entry screening for symptoms associated with 2019-nCoV at three U.S. airports that receive most of the travelers from Wuhan, China: San Francisco, New York (JFK), and Los Angeles airports. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission’s daily update declares, “A total of 763 close contacts have been tracked, 665 medical observations have been lifted, and 98 people are still receiving medical observations. Among the close contacts, no related cases were found.” January 18: HHS Secretary Azar has his first discussion about the virus with President Trump. Unnamed “senior administration officials” told the Washington Post that “the president interjected to ask about vaping and when flavored vaping products would be back on the market.” Despite the fact that Wuhan doctors know the virus is contagious, city authorities allow 40,000 families to gather and share home-cooked food in a Lunar New Year banquet. January 19: The Chinese National Health Commission declares the virus “still preventable and controllable.” The World Health Organization updates its statement, declaring, “Not enough is known to draw definitive conclusions about how it is transmitted, the clinical features of the disease, the extent to which it has spread, or its source, which remains unknown.” January 20: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declares for the last time in its daily bulletin, “no related cases were found among the close contacts.” That day, the head of China’s national health commission team investigating the outbreak, confirmed that two cases of infection in China’s Guangdong province had been caused by human-to-human transmission and medical staff had been infected. Also on this date, the Wuhan Evening News newspaper, the largest newspaper in the city, mentions the virus on the front page for the first time since January 5. January 21: The CDC announced the first U.S. case of a the coronavirus in a Snohomish County, Wash., resident who returning from China six days earlier. By this point, millions of people have left Wuhan, carrying the virus all around China and into other countries. January 22: WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus continued to praise China’s handling of the outbreak. “I was very impressed by the detail and depth of China’s presentation. I also appreciate the cooperation of China’s Minister of Health, who I have spoken with directly during the last few days and weeks. His leadership and the intervention of President Xi and Premier Li have been invaluable, and all the measures they have taken to respond to the outbreak.” In the preceding days, a WHO delegation conducted a field visit to Wuhan. They concluded, “deployment of the new test kit nationally suggests that human-to-human transmission is taking place in Wuhan.” The delegation reports, “their counterparts agreed close attention should be paid to hand and respiratory hygiene, food safety and avoiding mass gatherings where possible.” At a meeting of the WHO Emergency Committee, panel members express “divergent views on whether this event constitutes a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern’ or not. At that time, the advice was that the event did not constitute a PHEIC.” President Trump, in an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, declared, “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” January 23: Chinese authorities announce their first steps for a quarantine of Wuhan. By this point, millions have already visited the city and left it during the Lunar New Year celebrations. Singapore and Vietnam report their first cases, and by now an unknown but significant number of Chinese citizens have traveled abroad as asymptomatic, oblivious carriers. January 24: Vietnam reports person-to-person transmission, and Japan, South Korea, and the U.S report their second cases. The second case is in Chicago. Within two days, new cases are reported in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Arizona. The virus is in now in several locations in the United States, and the odds of preventing an outbreak are dwindling to zero. On February 1, Dr. Li Wenliang tested positive for coronavirus. He died from it six days later. One final note: On February 4, Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella urged residents to hug Chinese people to encourage them in the fight against the novel coronavirus. Meanwhile, a member of Associazione Unione Giovani Italo Cinesi, a Chinese society in Italy aimed at promoting friendship between people in the two countries, called for respect for novel coronavirus patients during a street demonstration. “I’m not a virus. I’m a human. Eradicate the prejudice.” ... https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/chinas-devastating-lies/

Westchester county, 1 hr N of NYC, Dr (Hasidic community Dr.)says he has treated 450-500 cases with 100% success: Rudy interviews him pretty well getting him to give a lot of good detail including his dosages: Interview starts about 2 minutes in. @Newdoc @ChiTownDoc

Is Macron such a shitty leader as compared to Duda?(had to look up Poland Prez TBH) Similar population density: Poland 38 million 1389 cases (unrounding since it is significant) Poland x2 76 million 2778 cases France 67 million 33k cases Netherlands 17.18 million 8603 cases Nx4 = 68.72 million 34.4 k cases But the Netherlands is about 3.3 times more pop dense than France

to your edit: yes, the big blobs of red are unworkable to see what is going on imho. scroll in so you can see that that big red blob breaks down nicely wrt USA reporting. gives a completely different perspective when you can see DFW whole area is made up of a bunch of smaller dots and etc throughout the whole USA. Even looking at Mississippi you see lots of 20-30 cases being reported in their multi-county areas(big cities included most likely, big for Mississippi) and few deaths with virtually no SIP, quarantine. So compare Poland vs France? Virtually the same population density and , adjusting for population, why the yuge disparity in cases? Or Florida vs France?(didn't do the calculations on that but the pop densities are similar) You can get more info to see more of those type things here:

So make some fair comparisons. Some of the countries with only, only 1k cases, for instance, could be doing much worse while an innocuous place like Poland is doing seemingly better. Why is that? Is it less travel from China? Better medicine? Less world travelers to hotspots that were hot for who knows why vs other places? Was the virus intentionally spread to some places? Is that even a consideration? Multiply Germany by two and you get easily more cases than the USA with a bit more than a 1/3 of the population. LA county is very low compared to NYC area. The argument on the Asian cases is very stark. Either they are more extreme in their lockdowns or the virus isn't as bad as it is being led to be, or what? That is probably because while it took a bit to get good test kits we are seeing how kick ass our USA system is working. The three levels, local, state, feds, is a very well set up system for reporting compared to most of the world. We'll see.

I accounted for some of that by throwing out Italy, or the worst of EU.(while letting you see the numbers with Italy). The number of cases ultimately won't matter but deaths will. That is if it is to be believed, and I do, that we are all going to get it at some point. Dig in to the JHopkins map, scroll around, zoom in, zoom out, click on the red dots, interesting stuff.

The poll is as of this moment, as of yesterday. Multiply Germany by 5: 60 mm x 5= 300 mm pop 250 k cases, vs USA 330 mm pop and 104 k cases. Sure, the numbers will change as we go forward. But as of now it is indisputable that the USA is performing very well with the data we have available. BTW, Cuomo is openly starting to question the SIP, quarantine, whatever you want to call it.

I wasn't sure how to vote all day. When I woke up this morning I decided to see how the US figures thus far compared with the most populous regions of the EU till it got close in population in total. Then I took Italy out of the mix as an outlier. Seems Trump, and USA, USA medicine, is killing it. EU vs USA rounded population total cases germany 81 mm 50 k france 65 mm 33 k italy 60 mm 86 k spain 46 mm 65 k poland 38 mm 1 k romania 21 mm 1 k netherlands 16 mm 8 k totals with italy 327 mm 244 k totals minus italy 267 mm 158k usa 330 mm 104 k pop numbers: eu pop numbers by country cases via JH RC https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

330 million times 12000 is a lot of money.

And that 4th down slip in the rain going wide would have been a FG? Was in that endzone my frosh year. Had no idea there was a controversy on the punter knee thing cause it was on the other end of the field.(till talking to people who watched it and the replays on tv) What a fucked up game.

IIRC, I am B- as well.

The binder will be ready any day now, chill.

Who was the SoCal recruiter for Mackovic? Ricky and Westbrook were two of the finest for UT.

At minimum it makes me want to wear nitrile gloves when on public transportation.

it is clear those are two sick fucks licking, fingers then rubbing the public transportation hand poles.
