Corona Virus Update

''this coffee is sh@t''

 

As rampant nationwide coronavirus spikes force states to reexamine reopening efforts, Congress is still struggling to maneuver around the pandemic as it encroaches on legislative business and endangers its members.


COVID-19 has loomed over Congress for much of the year, yet lawmakers are still bickering over wearing face masks and not social distancing. And congressional leaders have refused to make coronavirus testing mandatory for lawmakers traveling back and forth to their home states.

They are doing what they have to do. No instant fix for this pandemic. ;-(

 

U.S. surpasses 250,000 coronavirus deaths. The quarter-million mark comes as the virus mortality rate surges.

Achieving Records are one thing......but this is quite another !!

 

The great thing about kopi luwak farming is that now you can get it directly from the tap. Just place a cup with boiling water beneath a civit cage. In no time at all you have a rich cup of coffee.

 

For about the millionth time, people primarily wear masks to protect those around them.

In all this time you are still incapable of comprehending that simple fact? How can you expect to have a valid opinion about anything if you can't understand what we teach children every day without any problem?

 

Which is why propaganda programs target the young and very young.

 

Well .. yes there is. Full lockdown, zero movement.

 

Not possible in the USA.

We have to be real. It merely requires people understanding, at a minimum, the scientific method. If we had that (LOL at our education system,) draconian measures wouldn't even be part of the puzzle.

 

Congress is deadlocked over a new Covid-19 relief package, despite a third surge threatening more economic pain

They seem to forget who voted them into power in the first place.......... as it appears the population is not their first concerne in a crisis.

 

What complicates things is that so many don't believe thee experts and that creates a challenge informing the public. with ACCURATE and FACTUAL science based info. Disinformation has not been as prevalent as it has been in the last while. Trump does not use science to recommend precautions. Social media plays a big role .....where accuracy is questionable. Mixed messaging does not help What is needed is a consistent message to the whole nation. . It is understood the message might change a little as new information about the virus is learned., or better precautions emerge.

 

That has nothing to do with what I said.

 

It isn't complicated. Wear masks. Keep your distance. Wash your hands frequently. Avoid contact with others as much as possible.

The only thing making this complicated is trump and his band of nuts and idiots spreading nonsense.

 

spot on!!!! It is folks that resist / rebel and do so based on false information. or their own biases ...........that" complicates things."

 

170,161 new US cases today.

1848 US deaths today - the most since last April.

And Wyoming came in today with a staggering positivity rate of... hang on to your hats... 91 %
https://www.beckershospitalreview.c...y-covid-19-test-positivity-rates-july-14.html

I am quite sure that is the highest ever measured anywhere in the world.

 

What follows are positivity rates for each State. This is a very good predictor of the death rate in 3 to 4 weeks. The higher the positivity today, the more deaths in about a month, for that State.

COVID-19 virus is not going away any time soon, you have to get used to it.
Number of deaths is decreasing, so mortality rate of COVID-19 is decreasing as well.
We should stop fear mongering and hysteria.

 

https://www.express.co.uk/news/worl...us-lockdown-covid19-strategy-new-restrictions
Bloody science, destroying right wing talking points.
Now how are we going to argue that lockdowns aren't needed?

 

Concentration camps and selective executions that is what is needed.

 

We never did that and I don't see how we could.

 

You still haven't grasped the importance of social distancing have you?

 

You said I was too dumb to learn what you teach children every day and I pointed out that children are always where reeducation starts.

 

Grassley update:




Republicans are gaining lots of herd immunity. lol

 

Wonderful man. Rest in peace Mr. Cain.

Herman was 74 years old at his time of death. He had serious pre-existing medical conditions.

In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer, metastases to his liver, and a 30 percent chance of survival. After he underwent surgery and chemotherapy, the cancer was reported to be in remission.

He lived life fully. Every. single. day. of. his. life. We could all learn a lesson from Mr. Cain.
