The Coronavirus thread

And they'll have subpoena power too. I can see it now. Every decision is going to be second guessed and dragged out on television with hearings and bullshit. You can see this coming a mile away. These ******* don't care about Americans. It's about power and nothing more.

every move is a political jocking to use during the election process. Schumer has already said he is opening an investigation to how this has been handled. I don't trust them as far as I could toss them. They are sewer rats. They don't care about Americans, but to further their "career".

Great. More government. I can't see any way that this makes anything worse.

I look.forward to the day she is booted from office. Her day of reckoning is on the horizon.

Pelosi compared the new committee to the Senate bipartisan committee chaired by then-Sen. Harry Truman in 1941 to investigate waste, fraud and abuse in defense spending in the early days of World War II.

I may be misremembering, but I thought in the bible, Christ repeatedly taught us to earn as much as possible, build houses of gold, hoard during trying times, and not share.

Am I wrong here?

Methinks thou want to revisit thy christian teachings.

(yes I know you were being sarcastic)

ME? Where did I come up with my own numbers?

So is what you are saying is that nothing can ever be based on predictive models?

You didn't. You are parroting. And I'll say it again, no one right now, no one, knows.

I'm not saying we shouldn't use predictive models. But they should be questioned. Especially when they have obvious glaring faults like, oh I don't know, omitting the # of estimated CV19 cases that severely skews the numbers being thrown about.

Hey...if we all bought into predictive models, we'd all be under global carbon taxes for the climate change hoax and many of us would still be wondering where the Coming Ice Age is that was "scientifically" predicted in the 70s.

I hope they do and it is the last straw for enough people to get the majority back in the house.

Indiana shut down the schools for the rest of this academic year.

This ^^

Wife painted our storage areas with waterproof primer and white paint a year or so ago. She loves chores around the house. So she purchased a box of N95 masks to use when painting - bought them at Home Depot.

Our daughter is a doctor at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, where she went to medical school. About 2 weeks ago, wife gets the N95 masks, puts them in a box and sends to daughter. Not only did she use the mask, but she shared with her co-workers. The idea that a medical facility is turning away an experienced nurse because she brought her own N95 mask is frankly stoooopid.

**** my company is likely to order a **** ton of product from Indy because it may help. We are in the any options. You got a hook up? Send em our way is the purching group stance.

Sorry, my man, wife bought those in 2019. Box of 10. Spoke to daughter, who explained that the hospital faced shortages of the N95 masks. Wife had used one or two for painting, had the rest downstairs, remembered she had them, found them quickly and sent to daughter.

Just one box. No source here.

They want universal mail in ballots with no way of tracing who votes so they can make things up. All mail in ballots should have to be submitted with names and social security numbers and a documented trackable receipt should be created so the voter can see how thier votes were logged as...

Making voting uncheatable is doable, its just not what either side wants...

Lol. No worries. I was speaking as to our staff, ....you got a man...well buy his **** up. Lol. We are about securing as much products as possible.

{yes, that was sarcasm}

I’m just simply raising awareness.

 

[Troglodyte]

My best friend’s mom tested positive. Nursing home outbreak. She has advanced Alzheimer’s and is “gone” so he’s just hoping she doesn’t suffer should she succumb to it.

Sorry to hear that.

I tried that too, good luck.


But there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Pence said today that if we continue to do our part by June we could reopen the country and get the country back to work.

 

[Steeltime]

Terrible to hear, Trog.

There won't be a country to go back to by June.

I am becoming more and more convinced that China's research lab's dirty, bat-feces stained fingerprints are all over this ******* thing.

If true, this is SCARY ****

Coronavirus can spread through talking or breathing, scientists warn White House
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...king-or-breathing-scientists-warn-white-house

Coughing and sneezing may not be the only way to spread the coronavirus through the air, according to a scientific panel.

New research presented to the White House on Wednesday suggests the novel coronavirus can spread through the act of one person speaking to another in close quarters or even breathing. The findings were reported after news that state-mandated mask guidelines are being discussed by the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention which would instruct U.S. citizens to wear protective equipment as a "new normal" in everyday life.

"This letter responds to your question concerning the possibility that [coronavirus] could be spread by conversation, in addition to sneeze/cough-induced droplets," Dr. Harvey Fineberg, a former dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, wrote in a letter sent to the White House on Tuesday. "Currently available research supports the possibility that [coronavirus] could be spread via bioaerosols generated directly by patients' exhalation."

"While the current [coronavirus] specific research is limited, the results of available studies are consistent with aerosolization of virus from normal breathing," Fineberg added.

Fineberg told CNN he would begin to wear a face mask, which can be made of plain cloth in place of professional material, when he leaves his home to go grocery shopping.

Although the CDC has claimed that air droplets exhaled from persons only carry 6 feet, findings by an MIT researcher suggest the virus can travel as far as 27 feet, and a recent study from the National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories claimed the virus can remain airborne "for hours."

"If you generate an aerosol of the virus with no circulation in a room, it's conceivable that if you walk through later, you could inhale the virus," Fineberg said. "But if you're outside, the breeze will likely disperse it."

My daughter is an ICU RN in Phoenix, starting a run of 12-14 hour shifts again tonight.

She dropped off her dog here before going in and I jokingly offered the 3 N95 masks I had in the closet.

She snapped them up. It's tragic that it's come to this.

Spread by talking and breathing? Sounds like an excuse to finally admit that masks work.

To me it sounds like a reason for everyone to stfu.

You can't find them here. Lowe's and Home Depot have removed them from the shelves and will no longer sell them so that they can go straight to medical personnel. If you need hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, surgical gloves or masks, you are SOL.

My 92 year old Mom is in a nursing home, and is isolated to the point where she is losing her grip on reality. If she dies, I may not be allowed at her funeral.

I emailed Gov Wolf today, and told him he has 2 weeks before the **** hits the fan.


**** is getting real. Fast.
