I was surprised he didn’t put the kibosh on Spring Break activities but overall I agree. I mean the whole point of Spring Break is immediate contact with other people...and drunk off your ass doing it.
Have you been to the midwest? We basically have a steady 6 inch rise East to West every 100 miles. You guys are spoiled with your hills, but tbf they are barely that.
So many people not smart enough to notice. I watched the county court here on Sunday they were trying to decide about furthering restrictions. There's all these clowns calling in for comment that people were flooding the malls and the beaches were crowded and we need to put a stop to it. Uh, we don't have beaches here. The malls have been closed for a few days now.
They issued a stay at home order now. It's basically the exact same order except it says to "stay at home" now. I'm sure the libs will eat it all up as they have won for a few days before they call for martial law because someone is walking outside on the sidewalk alone.
Not quite! The highest point in FL is 105m above sea level, but that is well inland.
There are large areas of the state near the coasts and in South Florida that are very flat and 5m or less above sea level, and a whole lot more of the state that is <10m below sea level.
There are no hills (other than sand dunes, golf courses, and landfills) anywhere near the coast of Florida.
But hospitals are packed so it must be real! Ohhh...hospitals are packed with people who are scared they have it but apparently 94% don't, so literally the fear about hospitals being overrun was a self fulfilling prophecy. Source: conservativetreehouse
I saw someone driving by this huge line of cars waiting to get tested in tears crying about "OMG look how serious this is." A later report indicated that at least 90% of those were turned away because they just panicked and showed up when they hear it opened and never had any symptoms, contact with a know positive person, etc.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a official news report that linked the two, just a lefty who posted the video to their FB and a few seconds of phone interview from the hospital from a local news station talking bout the need to follow the rules and only show up with a Dr. order to be tested and how it wasted time and PPE.
This was probably a week or so back, and unfortunately I didn't bookmark it.
I mean hell, if you just look at the numbers of people that have it. How could that many extra people in the system be overloading things right now? It doesn't make sense, and no one is asking that question.
Seriously, maybe in NYC where nearly half of all cases are. They are an absolute special case with the unique living/commuting situation in that city. Most of america is single family homes where that kind of spread just won't happen.
Personally think this is still overblown, 400,000 cases with 6,000,000,000 people in the world and this has been going on for months now
We've had to go to the ER twice in our life and it was chock full of dumbasses. Don't you think with all the communist propoganda in the news its loaded to the gills?
I had to go to the ER once due to a possible seizure, luckily it tuned out to be nothing. I remember people walking in with minor cuts, sprained ankle, etc. things that should have been handled at a urgent care or their primary care first. Sure some may need to go the ER in the end, but only a fraction of those.
i trust want desantis is doing. he ran on a trumpian campaign and has shown so far to be a good voice of reason with policy. unfortunately i think you will see florida mayors making most of the calls locally and it will be completely partisan and not as intelligent as desantis's response
Local decisions have made sense. Small and quiet counties with little to no spring break activities don't need to close any beaches. Miami Beach did the right thing, dumb ass 19 year olds are gonna be dumb ass 19 year olds.
We all know these draconian measures are bullshit. Trump has to play along with it so he can take credit and also get measures passed that he wants (border and immigration shutdowns). But people are waking up every day.
I live in Australia, in Victoria. The far-left Victorian State government has placed everything here into lockdown. For all intents and purposes we may not leave our homes and there are police taskforces out basically bullying anyone who does venture out.
We have a grand total of 466 cases in our state of 6 million people and they've basically declared martial law.
This shit is fucked. Fight for your rights, America. You'll never get them back if you let them go.
To be fair, we've been getting fucked for a long time here in CA. We're just staying home and getting fucked now.. my mortgage is higher than most people's net income (not bragging, CA housing is that stupid)... can't pay it if we're not working.
MN has closed down some parks (depends on city). Took the dog for a walk two days ago at a park and today that same park had all the equipment orange fenced off and they removed the swings.
The left is now preaching "stay home, shut down the state, stop the spread" panic. It's a virus, you can't stop the spread. That is what they do. Sure, if you could weld everyone inside their homes for a few months that might work, but say Susie who doesn't have ChiCom Virus gets burned cooking and goes to the ER, then what? Extend it another month?
Sooner or later they can claim, hey we stopped the virus, now get out their and support you local economy. The only thing left will be TacoBell, BK, Dunkin or other drive thru places and the local CVS, WalMart or grocery chain. Every "non-essential" business will have gone under and re-open with huge "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS," "EVERYTHING AT LEAST 30% OFF" signs in the window.
And just think.....with all the small to midsize businesses gone/bankrupted, we will only have Walmart and other mega-stores (or Amazon for everything online) left and we'll be one step closer to a Buy 'N Large world (from Wall-E).
it does when it's completely fake news that there's a global pandemic in the first place. an infection rate of 0.0001% does not qualify for this (or any) level of panic.
Like, seriously, we will beat this thing the same way we beat every disease that ever came upon our people: With massive and unprecedented economic output, such that impossible things become possible.
This doesn't even seem to compare to moderate plagues and diseases our grandparents grew up with.
Shit many of us have probably been working twice as hard because of all this, so we'd gladly accept things getting back to normal. It's a deadly virus, we have to accept people are going to die. There's still ways you can be smart about this and do your best to avoid the virus without a total shutdown.
Probably union workers who feel they'll be paid no matter what. I saw a local unionized shop complaining they have to work to make parts for the railroad industry. Workers that need to be on the job at my hubs' company (nonunion) are glad to be working.
No surprise that productivity goes up when people don't spend all day chatting at the water cooler.
I work in state government IT myself, and on top of our regular jobs we've been busting our asses setting up VPN access and supporting our users who aren't used to remote work. Fun times.
But then there are some employees getting paid to sit at home and do nothing.
Worse. Saw on my local sub on reddit that there is an asshole working remote calling the government to report their office has other employees coming in to work....
Good job asshole - now no one in your company including you will have a job soon. I hope their co-workers find out who reported later and see how happy they were to be protected from getting a paycheck....
Just waiting for the post later of "I been out of work since coronavirus. Capitalism has failed! I need UBI!!!!"
Based of the profile pics of people in my area who think we need the lock down, they are 99% Gen X females who can usually work form home, have kids OR work Starbucks, Target, etc.
His tweets always reveal where he is headed/leaning in any given situation.
Unless there is some serious game-changer between now and the end of his 15 day period, GEOTUS will recall the CDC recommendation of quarantining every fucking body, and will heavily recommend we all get back to work and just take common-sense precautuons...just like we do every flu season.
Nah, they just said that so people wouldn't hoard masks that would otherwise be used my medical staff since there is a limited count. Hell yes they are effective.
The problem is more in the fact that people are stupid when they wear a mask they think "I'm fine I have a mask I'm safe now" and then they don't wash their fucking hands, I work at a store even with the outbreak people still don't wash their hands enough, and when they do wash their hands they wash for five seconds and think "that should be fine" the benefit masks give are outweighed by people being stupid beyond belief
The thing is the doctors that are saying by next week they will be overwhelmed by cases and not enough beds, etc. This is from an area that only has 4 reported cases so far. It's the waiting for the other shoe to drop. Madness.
But today is the day the Hydroxychloroquine/Zpack combos start in earnest, right? So, outside of a 6 day lag, the discharge of patients should help relieve the new source of admitted patients. Also, Cuomo is doing his posturing speeches on the projected numbers based on the 'non'quarantined period prior to last week, and prior to the bigger compassionate use of the 2part medicine combo.
Yesterday's task force addressed the scary projections of numbers, and explained that these numbers all were based/growing on the unchecked anticipation of infection rates. Essentially, opportunism by the chicken littles.
Cuomo nothing to lose by overhyping this crisis and beating up the feds by assistance - but has all kinds of face to lose if he underplays this. So, overhype every day, it is.
No I totally agree it doesn't always have to be done for nefarious or incorrect reasons. It's the negative connotation to big disasters and the authoritarian undertones that feels creepy.
Why thirty days? So drastic. Why not a week or so and see how it goes? He could always extend it. What a weird guy. Especially with Spring in WI and people wanting to get outside.
Seriously, social distancing isn't The Walking Fucking Dead, it's leaving some space between people, that's all. Work from home if you can, don't crowd trains and buses, but you don't to shut down the entire fucking economy.
Yep -- and Trump will have demonstrated, once again, smart and effective action. Close boarders, pause to assess real situation, reallocate resources... Pivot and win again
lol srsly. still being reasonably productive and healthy every day until about 5. next thing i know the vodka's half gone and im on the front patio bullhorning the neighborhood about the globalists
Hey man. Your post hit me like a punch to the gut because I know the feeling. I've taken to reading books and playing old school, nostalgic video games. I've also watched a couple Hillsdale courses. Recently I've learned to play guitar, so that helps pass the time in a productive way.
Search inside yourself -- what are the things that interest you that can carry you through this.
Good luck with your sobriety efforts. Naltrexone helps a lot of people cut back or stop drinking. Search for the Sinclair Method.
Also, if you have too much time, read a book you like. I’m re-reading the Little House on the Prairie books right now. Damn, it makes me appreciate everything I have right now. It’s amazing that people survived and built civilization from nothing.
He's amazing. He never takes his eye off the ball.
When all is said and done, and this bug is vanquished, anybody who tries to paint this man as an incompetent will no longer be taken seriously in polite society. This is the Great Normie Awakening, like it or not, and normies are going to be force-fed shovelfuls of redpills for at least the next month. The Dems cannot stop themselves from publicly destroying their political party because not one fucking person in it has the temerity to stand up to Nancy Pelosi.
Now normal Americans are craving leadership in a way they haven'tsince 9/11, and our man is delivering that in a manner that is undeniably positively translating. We've seen the rising approval numbers....they are now appraising him with their own eyes, not the media filter, and they are comforted by his strenuous efforts on their behalf. Legends are made of this shit. You simply cannot get through to politically disengaged people without a serious catalyst, but when it happens, they catch up fast.
This is, and will be remembered as, President Trump's finest hour.
Completely agree. I loved him before but I'm absolutely in AWE of him now. He is just stunning in his ability to lead and manage but most importantly, provide comfort and even humor (yesterday's press conference).
I sure hope normies get their fill of redpills. Meanwhile Wisconsin just got locked down for 30 DAYS for just over 400 cases and 5 deaths. Try seeing what the unrest does for the people, and what crime looks like, 30 days from now after no one is making any money and they have to get money from somewhere.
Not to mention any functioning drug addicts/alcoholics who are just looking to get their fix and don't have the money to do so anymore... they'll be the first to start robbing and killing.
This is the first taste of socialism, whether they like it or not. The government hands you money to not work, and they're going to see first hand exactly how this plays out.
Oregon too -- over less than 200 assumed positives... Local leaders are out issuing the panic, telling people to stock up a much as they can and basically closing school for the rest of the year
This situation cannot and will not continue. You cannot simply shut down an entire country just because you can't win the bloody election any other way.
Trying to force everything to stay shut so that the economy collapses would only lead to civil unrest and a breakdown of law and order. Which is perfectly fine with the Democrats but the rest of us will NOT let that happen.
I'm in a higher risk group but good God, there are a thousand things out there waiting to kill you every day. Take normal precautions, protect the truly vulnerable, and Get On With Your Lives.
If we don't, the Democrats will succeed into turning the USA into a shithole that they rule. Which is exactly what they want. But we'll see them burn in hell first.
It's not just the leadership. Democrat voters have been radicalized into useful idiots who hate our country and every founding principle of our Republic.They want to turn our country into some Euro-socialist shit hole careening down the path to full blown communism. Most Democrats are now openly anti-capitalist authoritarians.
Unfortunately I follow a lot of Democrats on social media. I now divide them up into two groups: moderate Democrats, and radical Democrats. The moderate Democrats want us in gulags, the radical Democrats want us dead.
I'm not talking about Twitter. I'm talking about local Democrats that live in my small town. These are people that I see regularly around town, so it is absolutely real life. Some of these people I've had the misfortune of meeting in person before looking them up on social media. The misleadia has radicalized and demoralized these useful idiots just as Yuri Bezmanov explained in his interview decades ago. It's a bigger problem than most people are prepared to accept.
They can be friendly enough in person until they figure out that you disagree with them politically. Then they display exactly the same behavior that they do on social media.
One guy I just happened to meet at my local pub when I was out with some friends and he was sitting with people that they knew, so we joined their table. This guy started talking politics right away and proclaimed his support for Antifa and punching Nazis. When I attempted to reason with him that you can't just physically attack people that you disagree with, he doubled down and proclaimed that anyone "preaching genocide" needed to be met with violence. That's just one example of a person I met in real life before I looked them up on social media.
My experience is that social media allows for a clear, unfiltered, and unfettered view into the true nature of a person. Meeting these people in person has only confirmed that for me. Most of the Democrats I know hate all Republicans and openly wish death upon them. Almost every Democrat that I follow on social media has hoped that the Chinese virus kills lots of Republicans. Several of them post death wishes and calls to violence on a daily basis.

Fucking NY thinks they deserve all the ventilators! Cuomo says he will distribute them to the other states when NY is done. He literally says they need 40,000 ventilators now and Trump isn’t doing enough to produce them. WTF is Trump supposed to do? Go to an auto plant, put on some coveralls and work on the line? Sick of this blame crap. Cuomo should have done something sooner.
New Yorkers are out of their fucking minds with the privilege they feel just for living in or around the city. I have family down there and I urged them to consider leaving. We told them the window to come get them was closing (it is closed now btw) but we got "thank you but we know what is best and everyone is really working together, supply chains are working great and the only reason there are so many cases here is because we are so much better at testing than the rest of country" which might be true but then why are they trying to hoard all the ventilators? Also I'm sure they do know what is best and I definitely think this whole thing is way overblown, however being told in one breath that they can always hitch a ride out of the city with bartender friends or catch the train if shit hits the fan and in the next breath that everything is fine because they have apps that keep them informed about local crime is... astonishing.
Alinsky tactic. It's Cuomo's fault they don't have the ventilators in the first place.
NY Gov. Cuomo Rejected Buying Recommended 16,000 Ventilators in 2015 for Pandemic, Established Death Panels and Lottery Instead
Cuomo spent more money than the cost of the ventilators on a solar panel boondoggle, reports former New York Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey (R) in a syndicated column published this past week. McCaughey reports the Cuomo administration decided instead to establish “triage officers” to decide in a crisis who would get a ventilator and who would be left to die.
It has also been reported a ventilator lottery would be an option in a pandemic crisis. Now with the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus overwhelming New York hospitals, Cuomo is begging for ventilators.
Oh! A lottery! Wait. What do you mean that if you lose you die?
While you're waiting to shuffle off this mortal coil, you can pass the time reading Cuomo's 272 page Ventilator Allocation Guidelines to learn exactly why heads they win, tails you lose.
Did you notice the replies to the Tweet? How can people think this only hurts the wallets of the rich? They can weather this far better than the working class.
Americans do not want data pushers from some obscure bureaucracy shutting us down and putting us out of work! We are strong, we are smart and we are resolute! We do not need big brother dictating our lives! NEVER AGAIN!
Let's encourage the high risk groups (seniors) to limit contact, make store hours just for them, etc. and let the rest of us return to work. You can't put the world on hold like this. Yes, people will get sick, just like they always do.
I’m hoping he’s still actively pushing the labcoats to develop this treatment made from anti-malaria drugs.
I’ve been asked at work how long do we think it will be before a tested and completed product is rolled out for mass production. I honestly don’t have a clue.
The anti-malaria drug is going into widespread use in New York as of this morning. By the end of the week we’ll likely have a large enough data set to determine its true effectiveness.
The product is done and has been done for a long time. You could call your doctor this second, ask for it, and, if they acquiesced per your symptoms, they could write you a script for it today, assuming it's available at your local pharmacy. What POTUS has been talking about is targeted "on-label use" for CVD-19, and they're rolling that out to NY as of this AM. It's more of a logistical request than anything.
Remove the state governors and city mayor's then. They are the ones imposing the unconstitutional shelter in place orders.
States have been lead to believe that they are nation states and can do what they want. They cannot! Every state agreed to join this union and adhere to the Constitution. Once again, Democrat governments are taking States rights to the extremes.
We can't even protest because of social distancing.
The 15 day period was warranted, but the US economy cannot be shutdown or we end up in a depression. I would like to see a 90-day quarantine for every citizen who is compromised no matter their age and those above age 62. Anyone else should go to work following social distancing as much as possible.
Massive amounts of hydroxychoroquine, Zpac and Remdezivir should be manufactured and given to anyone in serious condition. Ventilators, PPE, and respirators should be ramped up BIGLY.
We could just send the sick people to California and let the Rockies/Desert sort things out... Healthy people get to live on the east coast and the brave get to live in the mid-west keeping the ̶Z̶o̶m̶b̶i̶e̶s̶ infected at bay
The American worker is not programmed to sit on the sideline! We are not looking for a handout. We want to get back to work so we can fix this! We can do it!
If Congress hasn't acted after today. Disband it. A national emergency needs one strong leader protecting the people. Not hundreds of people trying to play party politics with the lives of Americans.
Remember its just not the virus that will take American lives. The mental health of millions of Americans will be totally destroyed if they see that there is no one out there sending them support through this.
If congress doesn't want to give that support then it should be removed.
Gotta get back to work. These measures are always only meant to buy time to develop and deploy treatments. Never permanent. Hopefully the currently under mass trial drug cocktails work on the majority of patients, but either way it's either a shit or get off the pot kind of thing. Either the economy is never restarted and the country is guranteed to turn into Venezuela, or it is and the effects of the disease are dealt with as they come to best of people's abilities.
So the Chicoms, aided by the coverup from the commies in the WHO, release this faggy virus that kills peoples grandparents and crashes the world economy, will there be repercussions?
I don't think the California Gov will let us go back to work. Even if it was semi safe he'd prob take the counter Trump position just because.
Some vulnerable people should stay in seclusion even if some of their businesses are allowed to reopen, those people are the ones who will need addition financial support.
This madness needs to end, Desantis is taking heat from all sides because he doesn't want to play tyrant like some other Governors.
I was surprised he didn’t put the kibosh on Spring Break activities but overall I agree. I mean the whole point of Spring Break is immediate contact with other people...and drunk off your ass doing it.
I mean if herpes wasnt going to stop them, what would a little cough do?
Hey man, I'm no fag but $20 is $20.
You might be a fag too 😂😂😂
He ain't gay but he still does shit

Man, four trickS and 20 bucks is all u got...plus the herpegyphalis
Since hydroxychloroquine may be effective at preventing the replication of most dsRNA viruses, it could be effective at preventing herpes and HPV.
Lol, pretty much
It's a tie between Florida and Bree Larson's ass.

All of Florida is approximately 0 meters above sea level right?
Not quite! The highest point in FL is 105m above sea level, but that is well inland.

What's with all this "muh martial law" fake news going around?
Are there really fucking TANKS in New York?
Lol I saw that.
Drunk college students building up the herd immunity ha ha
The only picture I have seen is a picture of a bunch of black vans, and a lot of military/national guard going into/coming out of in a NYC street.
My friend sent me a picture of a LA interstate with tanks on it, though.
Saw that Astroturfed trending for me about a bullshit petition, 5 likes and 2 RT like GTFO Chinese bots.

I saw that guy from HI doing his report and came away with the feeling that Urgent Care is stealing tax money like crazy.
Their local news staged a huge crowd of people drive-in testing, but in reality there was nobody there. Nobody.
I saw someone driving by this huge line of cars waiting to get tested in tears crying about "OMG look how serious this is." A later report indicated that at least 90% of those were turned away because they just panicked and showed up when they hear it opened and never had any symptoms, contact with a know positive person, etc.

Local decisions have made sense. Small and quiet counties with little to no spring break activities don't need to close any beaches. Miami Beach did the right thing, dumb ass 19 year olds are gonna be dumb ass 19 year olds.
Mayor of Tampa expected to close everything.
Already closed basically empty beaches that nobody goes to anyways. They've spread their clown world timeline into ours.
DeSantis is handling this whole thing quite well. He's been a stellar governor.
Couldn’t agree more.
Can't destroy the economy for no fucking reason
Exactly, if we continue there won't be an America to come back to.
The cure is worse than the disease.
Exactly what these liberal governors want. CA is fucked
They want the economy to tank so they can blame Trump and Republicans in November, hoping for a #bluewave
The media, who are basically operated and owned by liberal execs, are also pushing this agenda as well
We all know these draconian measures are bullshit. Trump has to play along with it so he can take credit and also get measures passed that he wants (border and immigration shutdowns). But people are waking up every day.

So is NC, the governor shut down all parks, playgrounds, hair salons.
MN has closed down some parks (depends on city). Took the dog for a walk two days ago at a park and today that same park had all the equipment orange fenced off and they removed the swings.
I've been saying that from the beginning of this madness.
I'm with ya.
I've been saying this too and cucks try to argue with me on social media. I just tell them I'm a doctor and they usually shut up
The left is now preaching "stay home, shut down the state, stop the spread" panic. It's a virus, you can't stop the spread. That is what they do. Sure, if you could weld everyone inside their homes for a few months that might work, but say Susie who doesn't have ChiCom Virus gets burned cooking and goes to the ER, then what? Extend it another month?
Sooner or later they can claim, hey we stopped the virus, now get out their and support you local economy. The only thing left will be TacoBell, BK, Dunkin or other drive thru places and the local CVS, WalMart or grocery chain. Every "non-essential" business will have gone under and re-open with huge "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS," "EVERYTHING AT LEAST 30% OFF" signs in the window.
Haven’t ya heard. It’s (buzzword). Flattening the curve!
And just think.....with all the small to midsize businesses gone/bankrupted, we will only have Walmart and other mega-stores (or Amazon for everything online) left and we'll be one step closer to a Buy 'N Large world (from Wall-E).
if noone had mentioned this virus i bet 99% of humans wouldnt even have noticed
Would have just been a really bad flu season.
I doubt it kills million. Even China and Italy are tapering off
Exactly! Social media has made us all lunatics.
it does when it's completely fake news that there's a global pandemic in the first place. an infection rate of 0.0001% does not qualify for this (or any) level of panic.
Look, some areas are hard hit, but the ramifications of the economy are destroying lives too

Exactly.
To be fair, they rarely leave their parents basements and want everyone else stuck inside too
Probably union workers who feel they'll be paid no matter what. I saw a local unionized shop complaining they have to work to make parts for the railroad industry. Workers that need to be on the job at my hubs' company (nonunion) are glad to be working.
Many of them are still working remotely, especially IT.
No surprise that productivity goes up when people don't spend all day chatting at the water cooler.
I work in state government IT myself, and on top of our regular jobs we've been busting our asses setting up VPN access and supporting our users who aren't used to remote work. Fun times.
But then there are some employees getting paid to sit at home and do nothing.
I'm union and we don't get paid time off. Thankfully our reps are greedy and convinced our fatass governor to make construction essential.
It was the UAW that wanted to shut down too, not the automakers.
Worse. Saw on my local sub on reddit that there is an asshole working remote calling the government to report their office has other employees coming in to work....
Good job asshole - now no one in your company including you will have a job soon. I hope their co-workers find out who reported later and see how happy they were to be protected from getting a paycheck....
Just waiting for the post later of "I been out of work since coronavirus. Capitalism has failed! I need UBI!!!!"
It's a pretty serious virus dude. It's a little worse than the flu!!!!!
Check out the nyc sub. They're all bitching that $1000 isn't enough and that they deserve more.
Based of the profile pics of people in my area who think we need the lock down, they are 99% Gen X females who can usually work form home, have kids OR work Starbucks, Target, etc.
Lol
I mean they can lock themselves in without an executive order.
Funny. Cuomo basically said the same thing yesterday and drones were gushing about what a great leader he is.
I see the same clowns on Facebook posting this tweet and the one from yesterday, basically comparing Trump to Hitler.
Jesus fucking Christ.
And they want “literally hitler” to impose a lockdown and martial law.
Libs: "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER!!"
Also Libs: "Trump please take our guns and institute martial law!!"
DRUMPF KILL GRANNY
Paul Ryan already pushed granny off the cliff.
What'd Cuomo say?
His tweets always reveal where he is headed/leaning in any given situation.
Unless there is some serious game-changer between now and the end of his 15 day period, GEOTUS will recall the CDC recommendation of quarantining every fucking body, and will heavily recommend we all get back to work and just take common-sense precautuons...just like we do every flu season.
This ^^^
And I believe we can achieve an appropriate balance.
-Everyone back to work except those with pre-existing illness should stay home, especially seniors.
-Everyone must wear a mask in public for the month of April.
-Continued testing etc... for those who need it and show symptoms.
-Wide distribution of the malaria drug combo for when anyone tests positive.
money will beat this virus, money for ventilators, masks, tmporary hospitals etc
Every American worker contributes to this fund
Every american not working takes from this fund.
Seems pretty clear what must be done.
Where you getting the 160m masks?
Don’t they wear them and toss them out after each patient?
I agree with you on everything except the masks. The masks aren't all that effective and are seriously overkill for most situations.
Nah, they just said that so people wouldn't hoard masks that would otherwise be used my medical staff since there is a limited count. Hell yes they are effective.
The problem is more in the fact that people are stupid when they wear a mask they think "I'm fine I have a mask I'm safe now" and then they don't wash their fucking hands, I work at a store even with the outbreak people still don't wash their hands enough, and when they do wash their hands they wash for five seconds and think "that should be fine" the benefit masks give are outweighed by people being stupid beyond belief
yeah masks need to stay in the hospitals for the most part.
The thing is the doctors that are saying by next week they will be overwhelmed by cases and not enough beds, etc. This is from an area that only has 4 reported cases so far. It's the waiting for the other shoe to drop. Madness.
But today is the day the Hydroxychloroquine/Zpack combos start in earnest, right? So, outside of a 6 day lag, the discharge of patients should help relieve the new source of admitted patients. Also, Cuomo is doing his posturing speeches on the projected numbers based on the 'non'quarantined period prior to last week, and prior to the bigger compassionate use of the 2part medicine combo.
Yesterday's task force addressed the scary projections of numbers, and explained that these numbers all were based/growing on the unchecked anticipation of infection rates. Essentially, opportunism by the chicken littles.
Cuomo nothing to lose by overhyping this crisis and beating up the feds by assistance - but has all kinds of face to lose if he underplays this. So, overhype every day, it is.
May I ask your thoughts on trumps new stance?
About a month ago you had told me on reddit that the Chinese virus was no big deal.
You changed that stance recently and say that its very serious.
So im assuming you dont agree with trump here?
Hope youre safe and dont have it btw!
Paging @Italy
yes, the elusive "next week." Been hearing about that for weeks now. Any minute people are going to be dying in the streets!
Commiechusetts, pioneer of RomneyCare, just started a 15 day shut down on non-essential businesses.
Just to make sure they outlast the federal recommendations as long as possible.
I read he can declare martial law and force states to reopen.
No I totally agree it doesn't always have to be done for nefarious or incorrect reasons. It's the negative connotation to big disasters and the authoritarian undertones that feels creepy.
Here in Oregon, Kate Brown just shut everything down indefinitely, likely for "a sustained period".
Here in Wisconsin, Tony Puppet Evers shut the city down for 30 days starting tomorrow. We can be arrested and jailed for 30 days for playing frisbee.
Why thirty days? So drastic. Why not a week or so and see how it goes? He could always extend it. What a weird guy. Especially with Spring in WI and people wanting to get outside.
Yeah, Charlie Baker is a typical RINO. He's maybe the best we can hope for but honestly he's been a right cuck this whole event.
Holy shit I just saw some of Gal Qaeda/Squad Lite's getting elected at the local level in MA right now.
Place is playing with fire.
Seriously, social distancing isn't The Walking Fucking Dead, it's leaving some space between people, that's all. Work from home if you can, don't crowd trains and buses, but you don't to shut down the entire fucking economy.
Yep -- and Trump will have demonstrated, once again, smart and effective action. Close boarders, pause to assess real situation, reallocate resources... Pivot and win again
lol srsly. still being reasonably productive and healthy every day until about 5. next thing i know the vodka's half gone and im on the front patio bullhorning the neighborhood about the globalists
You are doing God's work. You are the liquor. And Bill Clinton is a rapist.
Hey man. Your post hit me like a punch to the gut because I know the feeling. I've taken to reading books and playing old school, nostalgic video games. I've also watched a couple Hillsdale courses. Recently I've learned to play guitar, so that helps pass the time in a productive way.
Search inside yourself -- what are the things that interest you that can carry you through this.
I need a break from my husband LMAO.
Good luck with your sobriety efforts. Naltrexone helps a lot of people cut back or stop drinking. Search for the Sinclair Method.
Also, if you have too much time, read a book you like. I’m re-reading the Little House on the Prairie books right now. Damn, it makes me appreciate everything I have right now. It’s amazing that people survived and built civilization from nothing.
He's amazing. He never takes his eye off the ball.
When all is said and done, and this bug is vanquished, anybody who tries to paint this man as an incompetent will no longer be taken seriously in polite society. This is the Great Normie Awakening, like it or not, and normies are going to be force-fed shovelfuls of redpills for at least the next month. The Dems cannot stop themselves from publicly destroying their political party because not one fucking person in it has the temerity to stand up to Nancy Pelosi.
Now normal Americans are craving leadership in a way they haven'tsince 9/11, and our man is delivering that in a manner that is undeniably positively translating. We've seen the rising approval numbers....they are now appraising him with their own eyes, not the media filter, and they are comforted by his strenuous efforts on their behalf. Legends are made of this shit. You simply cannot get through to politically disengaged people without a serious catalyst, but when it happens, they catch up fast.
This is, and will be remembered as, President Trump's finest hour.
Completely agree. I loved him before but I'm absolutely in AWE of him now. He is just stunning in his ability to lead and manage but most importantly, provide comfort and even humor (yesterday's press conference).
We have never seen the likes of a man like this before, I'm fucking serious.
I sure hope normies get their fill of redpills. Meanwhile Wisconsin just got locked down for 30 DAYS for just over 400 cases and 5 deaths. Try seeing what the unrest does for the people, and what crime looks like, 30 days from now after no one is making any money and they have to get money from somewhere.
Not to mention any functioning drug addicts/alcoholics who are just looking to get their fix and don't have the money to do so anymore... they'll be the first to start robbing and killing.
This is the first taste of socialism, whether they like it or not. The government hands you money to not work, and they're going to see first hand exactly how this plays out.
Oregon too -- over less than 200 assumed positives... Local leaders are out issuing the panic, telling people to stock up a much as they can and basically closing school for the rest of the year
The ramifications of these actions are probably far worse than a virus
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
(Standing applause)
germany has
30,488 cases and 23 are critical/serious
those 23 are probably 90 year old cancer patients
is this a joke?
I jave friends i will never look at the same due to this. They are the ones who sided with the redcoats to preserve their comfortable servitude.
You're god damn right about that. Being a true patriot is about taking the stand for our freedoms. Home of the brave!
why does Italy have such a large death toll in comparison?
Co-morbidity. In the presser yesterday they said 90% of the deaths in Italy had three or more other diseases.
It’s the way they gather the statistics. They report every single death as a Coronavirus death, whether it was the primary cause or not.
So let’s say I get hit by a car, but they test me for Covid19; I end up in the Coronavirus death stats
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/have-many-coronavirus-patients-died-italy/
Because they are overinflating their numbers.
Because they are older and they make out with each other and touch each other all the time
Great link. Thanks!
That's the site I've been using.
Now, if the Democrats would actually start working we could get this country back on track. Throw the bums out!
Wait, you didn't just drink fish tank cleaner? Weird.
Also, that woman straight up poisoned her husband. Trump curse incoming.
They have to put those warnings on the label because of stupid people, but some people are so stupid that even the labels don't help.
that's funny, my ex-wife didn't even come with a warning label...
President Trump's approval rose during impeachments. Democrats still didn't think it was high enough so they pulled this crap.
YES
This situation cannot and will not continue. You cannot simply shut down an entire country just because you can't win the bloody election any other way.
Trying to force everything to stay shut so that the economy collapses would only lead to civil unrest and a breakdown of law and order. Which is perfectly fine with the Democrats but the rest of us will NOT let that happen.
I'm in a higher risk group but good God, there are a thousand things out there waiting to kill you every day. Take normal precautions, protect the truly vulnerable, and Get On With Your Lives.
If we don't, the Democrats will succeed into turning the USA into a shithole that they rule. Which is exactly what they want. But we'll see them burn in hell first.
It's not just the leadership. Democrat voters have been radicalized into useful idiots who hate our country and every founding principle of our Republic.They want to turn our country into some Euro-socialist shit hole careening down the path to full blown communism. Most Democrats are now openly anti-capitalist authoritarians.
Unfortunately I follow a lot of Democrats on social media. I now divide them up into two groups: moderate Democrats, and radical Democrats. The moderate Democrats want us in gulags, the radical Democrats want us dead.
I'm not talking about Twitter. I'm talking about local Democrats that live in my small town. These are people that I see regularly around town, so it is absolutely real life. Some of these people I've had the misfortune of meeting in person before looking them up on social media. The misleadia has radicalized and demoralized these useful idiots just as Yuri Bezmanov explained in his interview decades ago. It's a bigger problem than most people are prepared to accept.
They can be friendly enough in person until they figure out that you disagree with them politically. Then they display exactly the same behavior that they do on social media.
One guy I just happened to meet at my local pub when I was out with some friends and he was sitting with people that they knew, so we joined their table. This guy started talking politics right away and proclaimed his support for Antifa and punching Nazis. When I attempted to reason with him that you can't just physically attack people that you disagree with, he doubled down and proclaimed that anyone "preaching genocide" needed to be met with violence. That's just one example of a person I met in real life before I looked them up on social media.
My experience is that social media allows for a clear, unfiltered, and unfettered view into the true nature of a person. Meeting these people in person has only confirmed that for me. Most of the Democrats I know hate all Republicans and openly wish death upon them. Almost every Democrat that I follow on social media has hoped that the Chinese virus kills lots of Republicans. Several of them post death wishes and calls to violence on a daily basis.
Fake virus. Go back to work.
"Destroy America!' Speaking of which, where has AOC been in all of this?
Old Donkey punch has been braying about Trump needing to declare himself a dictator.
AOC: "omg, a Brazillion died!!! that's WAY more than a million..."
Big daddy comin in with the truth. Waiting for the fucking retards on here to continue their doom and gloom.
But muh triage, but muh exponential growth.
Get fucked and go to work, faggots
I literally have people chastising me for posting pictures of myself going places and doing things on Instagram. Moral busybodies
NPCs
A little history.
1918 Spanish Flu epidemic Kenton co. KY (Covington - across river from Cincy) 73,000 pop. 1000 cases of flu Ice cream parlours, saloons, churches and YMCA shutdown 1.36% infected
2020 Chinese Virus Kenton co. KY 166,000 pop. 5 confirmed cases All non-essential retail shutdown, churches, schools and daycare .003% infected
TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.
Democrats.
Fucking NY thinks they deserve all the ventilators! Cuomo says he will distribute them to the other states when NY is done. He literally says they need 40,000 ventilators now and Trump isn’t doing enough to produce them. WTF is Trump supposed to do? Go to an auto plant, put on some coveralls and work on the line? Sick of this blame crap. Cuomo should have done something sooner.
New Yorkers are out of their fucking minds with the privilege they feel just for living in or around the city. I have family down there and I urged them to consider leaving. We told them the window to come get them was closing (it is closed now btw) but we got "thank you but we know what is best and everyone is really working together, supply chains are working great and the only reason there are so many cases here is because we are so much better at testing than the rest of country" which might be true but then why are they trying to hoard all the ventilators? Also I'm sure they do know what is best and I definitely think this whole thing is way overblown, however being told in one breath that they can always hitch a ride out of the city with bartender friends or catch the train if shit hits the fan and in the next breath that everything is fine because they have apps that keep them informed about local crime is... astonishing.
Alinsky tactic. It's Cuomo's fault they don't have the ventilators in the first place.
NY Gov. Cuomo Rejected Buying Recommended 16,000 Ventilators in 2015 for Pandemic, Established Death Panels and Lottery Instead
Oh! A lottery! Wait. What do you mean that if you lose you die?
While you're waiting to shuffle off this mortal coil, you can pass the time reading Cuomo's 272 page Ventilator Allocation Guidelines to learn exactly why heads they win, tails you lose.
Did you notice the replies to the Tweet? How can people think this only hurts the wallets of the rich? They can weather this far better than the working class.
Emergency socialism is still socialism and the United States will never be a socialist nation!
From DailyMail: "Experts say the peak is yet to come and the current state of crisis will last for another several months, at least"
You want a real crisis? Try shutting a country down for several months.
Experts are wrong every single time
OHHHH LOOOOKKK...
How quickly do the evil Demonrats cry "they want to kill your grandparents"
They are a fucking broken record... throw the kill grandparents card, throw the racism card... these fuckers need to burn
Americans do not want data pushers from some obscure bureaucracy shutting us down and putting us out of work! We are strong, we are smart and we are resolute! We do not need big brother dictating our lives! NEVER AGAIN!
Let's encourage the high risk groups (seniors) to limit contact, make store hours just for them, etc. and let the rest of us return to work. You can't put the world on hold like this. Yes, people will get sick, just like they always do.
17k dead in a world of billions.. from an illness that has been around for months.
Overhyped.
We aren't going to go with the dems version though right?
I’m hoping he’s still actively pushing the labcoats to develop this treatment made from anti-malaria drugs.
I’ve been asked at work how long do we think it will be before a tested and completed product is rolled out for mass production. I honestly don’t have a clue.
The anti-malaria drug is going into widespread use in New York as of this morning. By the end of the week we’ll likely have a large enough data set to determine its true effectiveness.
The product is done and has been done for a long time. You could call your doctor this second, ask for it, and, if they acquiesced per your symptoms, they could write you a script for it today, assuming it's available at your local pharmacy. What POTUS has been talking about is targeted "on-label use" for CVD-19, and they're rolling that out to NY as of this AM. It's more of a logistical request than anything.
Remove the state governors and city mayor's then. They are the ones imposing the unconstitutional shelter in place orders.
States have been lead to believe that they are nation states and can do what they want. They cannot! Every state agreed to join this union and adhere to the Constitution. Once again, Democrat governments are taking States rights to the extremes.
We can't even protest because of social distancing.
The next Democrat PIVOT will be "Drumpf cares more about $$$$ than lives!"
Mark. It. Down.
The 15 day period was warranted, but the US economy cannot be shutdown or we end up in a depression. I would like to see a 90-day quarantine for every citizen who is compromised no matter their age and those above age 62. Anyone else should go to work following social distancing as much as possible.
Massive amounts of hydroxychoroquine, Zpac and Remdezivir should be manufactured and given to anyone in serious condition. Ventilators, PPE, and respirators should be ramped up BIGLY.
We could just send the sick people to California and let the Rockies/Desert sort things out... Healthy people get to live on the east coast and the brave get to live in the mid-west keeping the ̶Z̶o̶m̶b̶i̶e̶s̶ infected at bay
Liberals: "Trump is literally Hitler."
Also Liberals: "How dare Trump not force people to stay locked up where the government tells them."
The American worker is not programmed to sit on the sideline! We are not looking for a handout. We want to get back to work so we can fix this! We can do it!
I agree Mr. President.
That's some goddamn leadership!!
Reeeeeeeee. Buuhhhh trillions will dieeeeee
If Congress hasn't acted after today. Disband it. A national emergency needs one strong leader protecting the people. Not hundreds of people trying to play party politics with the lives of Americans.
Remember its just not the virus that will take American lives. The mental health of millions of Americans will be totally destroyed if they see that there is no one out there sending them support through this.
If congress doesn't want to give that support then it should be removed.
We get the chance to do a full reset in Nov and it looks more likely by the day.
No need to disband it, we just need to do what our forefathers did: tar and feather a few of them and ride them out of town on a rail.
Yeah Haha who needs Congress? What could possibly go wrong with this plan?
This is the way
So say we all.
Gotta get back to work. These measures are always only meant to buy time to develop and deploy treatments. Never permanent. Hopefully the currently under mass trial drug cocktails work on the majority of patients, but either way it's either a shit or get off the pot kind of thing. Either the economy is never restarted and the country is guranteed to turn into Venezuela, or it is and the effects of the disease are dealt with as they come to best of people's abilities.
President Trump is on the winning side of this issue. The people agree with him.
So the Chicoms, aided by the coverup from the commies in the WHO, release this faggy virus that kills peoples grandparents and crashes the world economy, will there be repercussions?
Not convinced this epidemic is as bad as most we get.
I agree. We can be safe, protect those who are the most vulnerable and help those in need. Start the discussion and lets get America back to Work!
I don't think the California Gov will let us go back to work. Even if it was semi safe he'd prob take the counter Trump position just because.
Some vulnerable people should stay in seclusion even if some of their businesses are allowed to reopen, those people are the ones who will need addition financial support.
