The Coronavirus thread

Minor so far. My big issue will be (not so much coming soon) is sweat and the device become less adhered too. This the reason for the pilot. We got skin issues now with some (limited) due to masks, and the respirators (though I don’t consider these N95s or equivalent as “respirators” per the standard).

That said, I do look at these as somewhat revolutionary. My boss has shown off hers on multiple calls using the same one. I think she I up to about twenty times and the adhesive still works. That’s incredible in a time of “extended use”.

We have been fit testing everyone. the adhesive sounds interesting. My one housekeeper had to use double sided tape to keep her mask up last time the dept of health was there. This was before we started wearing the N95s or kn95s though

Media will already have the articles written that say the new drug doesn't work and is dangerous and Trump will somehow benefit personally from it. They just need to wait to type in the name of the drug. Look at what they did to HCQ, a drug that is proven safe for over 50 years and they made it out to be like prescribing rat poison.

Yeah, that's like saying Pepto-Bismol is a perfectly safe drug for heartburn & indigestion, then having someone suggest it should be used to heal a sprained ankle.

And speaking of prescribing rat poison...

Yes, this new drug Trump touts will be poison, but a new untested Bil Gates vaccine will be a miracle cure that is mandatory for anybody to leave their house.

Just keep that in mind. The media keeps saying there needs to be a vaccine. This vaccine will be barely tested but that will be deemed completely safe and even questioning that at all will be "anti-science".

But the difference is, the media is essentially claiming that taking pepto for a sprained ankle will kill you.

And they claim that a virus that by itself doesn’t kill anybody is going to kill millions except in big box stores and places that serve food.

Ot oh the case rate in florida has been drop drop dropping every day. 2974 today, 54 deaths. The dems need to get some aerosol covid spray into heavily populated areas. Got to squeeze this horseshit hysteria out through the elections, so they can cheat through the mail and start a revolt.

Biden isn't winning jack **** on his own merit.
 
Emergency authorization of convalescent plasma. Thought they were already using it?

Nothing too earth shattering but hopefully good news that it's proving effective.

Great news, hope it helps.

That explains 3, 4, or even 5 times the death toll? Huh.

3, 4, 5 times? In the past week, Texas, Florida and Georgia had a combined 2,600 Covid deaths. New York and New Jersey 90. So... 29 times less. Your turn to explain.

I’ve already explained. NY and NJ got hit hard early. They have a lot more immunity in the community. More than any other state in the country. Conversely, Texas Florida and Georgia became infected much later. Whether they will eventually catch up to NY and NJ remains to be seen. This idea that somehow NY and NJ are doing something magical that other states are not is rather silly.
 
I say,,, it's 5 o Clock Tibs. Right on time ol chap. ;)

 
Steeltime said:
So that eight ******* days explains it? Then why such a success in Sweden, South Dakota, etc.?

Daily cases were quadrupling every “eight ******* days” in late March so... YEAH! And you ignored that the EU stayed locked down longer.

Sweden has the sixth highest Covid death rate per capita in the world, even worse than the US - likely not for long. Success?

And South Dakota had quite a problem with the meat processing plant outbreak.

And maybe they stopped sending Covid patients to nursing homes. Imagine if Trump had done what Cuomo did?

Cuomo lied and people died.

Immunity is the reason? Source? 2% of the population has tested positive, and there’s widespread impactful immunity?

Magical? No, practical.
