So, you think here in Canada or USA, you have the right informations? And all it true when it come from new paper?
Coronavirus
- Thread starter C.B. Brown
- Start date
When you mention New Zealand and Australia doing a great job you are part right New Zealand yes and Australia not so much. Viet Nam has done a great job but they are run by a communist government so you can`t believe their data just like you can`t believe China`s data. You can`t believe any government`s data if they are run by a commie or fascist government. Hard to find any honest mouth pieces even Fauci. Remember when he was telling everyone that face masks provide ineffective protection to users ? There was a reason for that lie.....so that the scarce masks would be available to health care workers first. Ya maybe it was a good lie....but still a lie that put thousands into the hospital.
I completely agree with you right there. Amazing how that when the healthcare workers had enough masks it was right around when it was recommended to start wearing masks again.
I do not. I never did, but there is no doubt that China withheld information thus causing this whole mess. It's not what they reported more so than what they covered up.
Today's been encouraging as well as yesterday.
Stuff is starting to re-open finally. I must admit i have a hard time following their logic tough when it comes to what we getting vs what we don't. For instance i don't get why we can see friends at least outside, but kids will be back in school. I get that kids are not much at risk of symtoms but they can spread it just as much as adult from what i understand, so they may spread it to parents if they get it in school.
Oh well at least some regions will open back and i may be able to go video game shopping for my birthday at the end of May, even if ill not be able to do what i use to do on these days (cinema, restaurant etc)

Some good news about Remdesivir it can significantly shorten the recovery time of covid19:

Greatwalloo I wrote on that below. Be careful. Studies has not been peer reviewed yet. China published reports that it had no effect. But then again who can trust these fuckers.
So right now either it's a political based move or a cash based move by a pharma, or both. Or either it's really working which has yet to be truly vouched.

With the lockdown and safe distancing in NY especially in NYC, this really happened:

uke:
I absolutely agree with your statement in regards to NZ & Australia. I also agree in regards to trust issues for communist & fascist governments such as the ones in China & the United States. You can't trust a word they say. Same thing with some red states in the US such as Florida where we're not learning that DeSantis has been trying to gag medical examiners from divulging who died from COVID-19 in order to keep the numbers down & thus not preventing him from opening up state when the real numbers would show that this is absolutely the wrong thing to do at this time.
Dont's: do not trust China; do not trust the Trump administration; do not trust Donald Trump; do not trust many red state governors; do not trust Fox News & any other right wing media outfit or talking piece; and finally....do not trust any Republican. They'll fool you once & will try to fool you twice. But shame on your if they fool you three times or more. But they'll keep on trying until they succeed. So beware.
I have a question to Legault admirers who keep reminding us of what a great job he is doing. I must be blind cause I don`t see it.
Quebec accounts for more than half the cases and more than half the deaths in Canada, with less than a quarter the population. So where is the beef ?
Ontario won`t let Quebecers into their province.

Cloud Quebec had it's school break first week of March. When all shit started to break loose in Europe. All that traveling could easily represent why we are in deeper shit. Ontario and other provinces canceled their school break which were scheduled 1 or 2 week after Quebec and put their population in confinement.
Forget March break that he should have cancelled but think of to-day. Daily cases are rising. The death toll is 80 plus a day. The curve of new infections is far from flat but increasing daily at the second highest rate in Canada after Alberta.
5 Montreal Hospitals are at over 100% capacity. New York is doing better.
He wants to re-open schools and risk infecting families. Testing is way too little to allow proper monitoring . They can`t even test health workers and patients in nursing homes unless they are sick.
What the hell is going on ? Are these actions defensible? What`s going on in Quebec is comparable to Georgia....let`s see how that works out.
If that`s considered a good job then tell me Jal what is a bad job.

That's the problem. If we had listened more closely to the WHO maybe just maybe it would have been canceled. But no country did until the shit hit the fan. Which happened around March 10-11 or so. As we were coming back from our school break in Quebec and as others in Canada canceled theirs. In the US they went on for another 2 weeks and are now paying high price for that.
Testing in Quebec is currently higher ratio then the US no matter what fucking idiot Kushner or Trump says. But yes we could do better. And we have to because Quebec has the highest ratio of elderly people, which does not help.
Guys... if you speak french watch the last Radio Quebec video. He has doctors and expert clips debunking a lot of stuff.
There is a logic to it. Because many people are sitting home collecting free money because of their kids. No daycare and no school. In order to be able to reopen businesses these people got to be able to work. Legault wants them to stop collecting free money. That is not sustainable long term. Even that $2000 that Trudeau is throwing around is a big issue. Many people will not want work. Why work when you can get paid to stay home. Anyhow I do not expect things to get to normal. WHO is the problem and declared this a pandemic. I think it might end up like Taiwan and the other Asian countries where it will be mandatory to wear a mask. They will turn us into a germophobe. Go the gym mandatory mask and gloves. Same for using public transit. Want to go to a cinema or restaurant you got to wear a mask and gloves. Society will be completely transformed into a nanny state. Government will control everyone.
“Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome” by Charlie Munger, I think
When Trump won the presidential election, I quickly invested all my savings into the US stock market because Trump had a huge incentive to cut corporate taxes & boost the stock market because it benefits himself and his wealthy billionaire backers.
Today, Trump’s greatest incentive & priority is to win the election again on 3rd November. Trump doesn’t need a voter majority, just that 40+% to get him that electoral college win. Those consist of a diverse mix of of evangelicals, pro-Israel, pro-gun, white supremacists, billionaires & perhaps most importantly middle income moderates swing voters who just want to protect their stock market investments.
So till 3rd November, Trump will try to talk down the Covid-19 threat and pump up the stock market even if it results in a far worse Covid-19 outbreak and ultimately ruined stock market & economy after that.
Don’t believe me - yesterday, the US released data that the economy shrank 4.8% in the 1st Qtr. Coincidentally on the same day, the Trump administration released a positive study on the drug, Remdesivir reducing Covid-19 hospitalization by 4 days. This study has been known to the medical community for some time because it was conducted in multiple countries but other world leaders have not mentioned it because it has not been verified via peer review.
Yet the Trump administration chose to release it to pump up the stock market. Trump wants to give false hope to consumers so they will go back to spending money. Yes, Remdesivir may be a breakthrough in drug development against Covid-19 like AZT for HIV according to Fauci. But when AZT was found to work back then, did Fauci tell people to forget about safe sex??!!
If proven to be effective, Remdesivir can merely reduce hospitalization by 4 days. It is not a replacement for testing & contact tracing of Covid-19 cases. Social distancing is still required to bring down the infection rate before the economy can safely reopen.
If you truly understand Trump’s incentives then you’ll know why he’s always talking down the real threat of Covid-19. He just wants everything to look nice and promising till 3rd Nov election even if what lies beneath is a crumbling economy & healthcare system that will plague us all for many years to come.

Very wise advice Doc. Even some Trump cultists have finally reached these conclusions but sadly many of his cultists remain unswayed by all the factual evidence of how he has screwed up. Of course people also believed other cult leaders in the past, Jim Jones for example, at least until they were invited to share some of that final and fatal drink of Koolaid. Trump however doesn't need Koolaid since he has fish tank cleaner and disinfectants to promote to his followers. Darwin had a point that Trump's true believers are proving (with all due respect to the poor guy who watched his president touting a drug with "great possibilities" and died after swallowing the fish tank cleaner).
i have no inside knowledge that a vaccine will be available in the fall?? @ least a wide scale for use on general population one. I think some candidates are going to be tried out on health professionals in the fall in large scale study.
