The Coronavirus thread

I work for a European company. 385,000 employees globally, including areas with the highest infection rates. Today's update: 795 confirmed cases, 3 deaths. All 3 deaths were over 60 years old with pre-existing conditions.

This. Can someone explain the practicality of this? Most states are this way. County by county differences in rules and handling this.

If I'm an Ogre and I drive a truck across 3 counties daily for work, I have to be familiar with the "rules and ordnances" of 3 counties so as not to get in trouble. Mask on County A, mask off County B, Mask back on County C....

How could this possibly go wrong?

Not to mention, if I live in County 'A' and County 'B' has less restrictions, guess where I am going to dinner, movie, cocktail hour...etc.
 
Here in the Grand Canyon State...

How many people 19 or younger in the greater Phoenix area have died from C-19? -- ZERO - none, nada, zilch. In percentage terms that's 0.000%.
A total of 8,340 people in Maricopa County have contracted C-19, out of a population of 4,367,835. So your chances of getting it in Phoenix are 0.0019%.
How many people under 65 and without chronic health conditions have died of C-19 in Maricopa County? Twenty-two. That means my chances of dying from C-19 are 0.000005%.
So why are schools closed? Why do we continue to hear of crazy proposals if schools reopen in the Fall - no lunch room, no recess, no busses.
Why do anything different in schools? Just open. Go to school...oh and wash your hands, which is a good idea anyway.
We are creating a whole new generation of hypochondriacs.
In Arizona, through April, there were 302 C-19 deaths and during that same timeframe 1,013 influenza deaths. Did we lock everything down because of the flu? Did we all wear masks last flu season?
CDC reported yesterday that the death rate for those contracting C-19 is 0.23%. Why is everyone going crazy on something you've got a 99.77% of beating, if you get it.
Here's the biggest number - 607,000. That's the number unemployed in Arizona since this craziness has started.
That's 607,000 families struggling. You want to care about something - care about those families.
Take that stupid mask off and go do something to help those families get back to work. Do you patriotic duty and go have lunch and buy a pair of shoes at a local store.

here in PA, you can't go into any establishment w/o a mask. We are being treated like children. I put it on walking into the store and take it off as I exit. I had to wear one at Lowe's in 90 degree heat and thought I was going to pass out in the garden section. The stupid green phase can't come quick enough.

Seems like his lawyer tapped Hannity on the shoulder and told him he better stop spewing Trump's lies on air, as they're likely to face lawsuits once this is all said and done. How refreshing, to see Fox actually have an honest take on things for a change.
Click to expand...

Can you explain why only liberals seem so desperate to restrict speech? Almost as if they are afraid to have their ideas challenged.

Oh, and you actually believe that Hannity fears lawsuits about a broadcast involving a matter of public interest? Huh, too bad the billion-dollar news station, the most-watched news network in America, does not know these guys called lawyers.

Finally, are you also worried that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, WaPo, NYT, etc. are going to be sued into oblivion for two years of bullshit stories fed to them by lying liars in the government, pretending to be "leaking" when instead they were ********?

Unlike your phantom fear of something that is not going to happen, the lawsuits against CNN, MSNBC, etc. would stand a chance.
 
My doctor office says the virus is "low risk". Just saying.
 
I'm still trying to figure out Gov Witmer. I mean, there are women that you can look at and say "Yep" she's good in bed. I can't tell if Witmer is a steamy vixen, a gag ball doll, or a frigid ***** who lays there and gives directions. odd vibe she gives.

Good point. There’s also a chance that she plays for both teams.

Said this for awhile now. But we are the bad guys


Edit. It wasn’t about the residents coming back. It’s much bigger than that. It’s about forcing non COVID centers taking COVID positive, ie letting the virus in. Additionally, it was the timing. Early on testing wasn’t we’re it is now. Ppe wasn’t were it is now(still not good).

ICS, jitter77 etc. any of yinz working in nursing homes, what do you think about this? If true, an absolute travesty.

If true, someone should go to prison. They caused death. But...Cuomo is a Liberal and shall be protected from the wrath of the law from the complicit MSM.
 
The contrast between Biden and Trump couldn’t be more striking. A sincere, emotional, eloquent, empathetic man instead of the deranged, delusional, demented, unhinged malignant narcissist sociopath we have in the WH who is incapable of even feigning empathy. November can't come a day too soon.

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! Thank you Tibs, you genuinely gave me the only belly laugh I've had all week. That was an awesome troll! I can't decide which was more hilarious, Joe Biden being called eloquent or empathetic. His family doesn't even think those things about Joe Biden. Phenomenal job sir. I've known for at least 2 years that you don't mean a single word you say on here politically and are just trolling everyone, but this one takes the absolute cake. I'm still giggling as I type ROFL. Eloquent....that was funnier than anything I've heard in a movie for at least 5 years. My stomach is hurting here.

I hope it starts to go viral and gets the attention of powerful people (who aren't completely corrupt) that can start prosecuting these scumbags. This is twilight zone level ****. This can't be our America?
