COVID-19 Coronavirus UPDATES, BANS, CLOSURES, ADVISORY, etc.

I liked it better when I thought it was a shotgun blast.

The curious thing to me about this picture is how unilateral the lesions are, though this dude does have HUGELY swollen lymph nodes in both armpits.

Back to my point about this - people who die of corona don't look like this guy does (or like victims of small pox; if you've never seen small pox, google it - it's even more disturbing than the plague), so there are going to be plenty of people who die from corona and never get counted. If they don't die in a hospital after having already been diagnosed, or don't get a post-mortem, we just own't count them outside of statistical sampling. Preaching to the choir, I know, but there it is.

How many people will die from the Coronavirus?

Vs.

How many lives and economies will be destroyed from shutting everything down.?

Which one will be greater?

Closing bars & restaurants now seems to be the Chic trend.

Exactly this. I'm far more concerned about the economic fallout from this than I am about the virus itself.

First it was toilet paper, now it's panic buying of guns and ammo.

I found this out today when I decided to put in an order for some powder I've wanted to try (Staball 6.5) and I decided to upgrade to wet tumbling my brass (Lyman Cyclone Rotary Case Tumbler). Both orders are delayed for 3-4 days due to folks panic buying ammo.

The Democrat controlled states and cities are all in with the economic shutdown. It fits the anti-Trump narrative and payback for defunding sanctuary cities. These politicians fit only one profile, sociopaths.

I have my theory on why this thing started, and who unleashed it.

But.....I don't want to be labled as a conspiracy nut.

Not nutty to recognize the tail is absolutely wagging the dog, and has been for a while.

Statistics:
Gather 10 mathematicians in one room and ask:
1 Male organism + 1 female organism =____organisms?

To further this question and answer:
The Male and female organism create a 3rd organism not yet released by the female organism: then is the answer still 2 or is it now 3? or does it become 3 only after the female releases her contained orgism?

To continue this:
If the organism inside the female dies and then is consumed by the female is the answer still 2 or 3?

Or
Is the answer 3 only if the female ejects a living organism?

Does 1+1=2 or does 1+1 also=3?

Hillary....

I was thinking more along the lines of, China, and the Biden's/Dems connection.

"Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam & Chairman, Dutch Association for Intensive Care, Dr Diederik Gommers, has confirmed that more than half of #COVID19 patients in Dutch ICUs are under 50 years old, including some young people."

probably most of them came from Ischgl/Austria skiing.
Hundreds infected people were comming from this party village.
It is a melting pot of nations in wintertime.

To play devils advocate here: If you can tell me what President Trump will say next Thursday at 3 PM, I'll agree with you and blame the people out travelling.

Well what l am saying is, if you were out traveling l would think you could have seen this ban coming in advance. And not wait until it is announced and than blame it on someone else that your standing in a line.
I am sure there are some that have legitimate reasons

Agree on small pox and I have seen a number of cases.

Also agree that many will have "pneumonia" or "unknown respiratory issues" placed on death certificate. Epidemiologists will have an interesting time doing the post mortem on this virus.

Heard on the news that the anti-malaria drug, chloroquine, has shown promise in the treatment of COVID-19.

Heard on the news that the anti-malaria drug, chloroquine, has shown promise in the treatment of COVID-19.

I saw that a couple of weeks ago, I think Singapore tried and had some success, or at least thought it might have some mitigating value.
