I knew this was what Trump was doing when I read that his move took European leaders by surprise.
It's a brilliant chess move.
This is a disastrous disease that could kill hundreds of thousands? Fine. You and your rich globalist friends can't come here anymore. America is closed.
Well, they're starting to shut down schools in jersey. Over 30 cases and one death.
So I went to the USA today map. Figured cases and deaths would be more or less evenly distributed across major population centers.
Nope. 30 deaths in Washington. Out of 330 cases. 8 total deaths outside of Washington.
Thought...hey, that's pretty weird. Then started reading news articles. Oh shit, almost all of those Washington deaths are related to one nursing home. Several others are related to other nursing homes in the area. Probably a doctor or healthcare worker who travels between locations (my theory).
So almost all of the deaths in the US are people who are above the age of 70 and living in a fucking nursing home.
Have you ever been to a fucking nursing home? Most of the folks who don't have dimensia are there due to a pre-existing condition.
What would be really good to have would be the same breakdowns for the crosstabs (age, pre-existing conditions, age + pre-existing conditions) with the flu.
Once you start digging into the US numbers (Chinese numbers are a joke), this looks more and more like a slightly more lethal version of the flu.
Exactly. If the media were at all responsible they might give us some metrics that we could use to make actual relative comparisons.
How many people usually die in these nursing homes over a similar time period.
Have there been outbreaks of other diseases in nursing homes that have killed similar numbers of people in the past? Is that a relatively normal thing to happen in random nursing homes throughout the country during flu season?
Maybe they could also give us a chart with confirmed cases of the actual flu by state to stack up against these numbers?
But nope. No context given at all. Just more ridiculous bullshit blowing directly out of the media's stinky asshole.
" Probably a doctor or healthcare worker who travels between locations (my theory)."
Good theory. I worked in a long term care facility (nursing home), and we had an outbreak of Scabies. Probably brought in by healthcare workers who do home visits, and see patients in the facility. Didn't take long to infect an entire floor.

Typical Trump double bind.

At the end of flu season.
Fuck the media.

European markets already in free fall.
