Well, it does mutate.

Maybe the members of the Shincheonji church tend to be younger?

I may go for a kimchi roasted beet “Reuben” for lunch today.

What I find extremely interesting is the difference between South Korea and Italy. South Korea has twice as many diagnosed cases, but Italy had as many deaths today as South Korea has had altogether. Italy has 7 times as many in serious/critical condition. Did Italy's outbreak start a few weeks earlier? If not, it's almost like a different strain.

Italy isn't testing nearly as many people as South Korea. In fact, no one is. It's the reason the death rate looks so high everywhere else. Tons of undiagnosed cases running around.

Looking back, italy's outbreak was thought to have started on Jan 31, whereas it looks like around Feb 10-16 for South Korea. It seems like South Korea is just enterin the third week which is when most of the deaths occur.

That is the most irresponsible bit of bullshit to come from the White Fox House in forever.
Essentially and potentially, that bad info could kill thousands.
But, hey, as long as he says he was misinterpreted after they die, his fans will buy it.

Like in NYC.

"South Korea has managed to test more than 140,000 people for the novel coronavirus, using kits with sensitivity rates of over 95%, according to the director of the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine."

They have drive through testing sites FFS. Now that's what I call "no fucking around." US is a joke in comparison.

This sounds interesting. How's it made?

I can hear some numb nut coughing probably 20 feet away from me here at work. What kind of moran would come to work with a cough right now? Simply irresponsible.

[Cono Este]

It’s getting bad. People I know even canceling domestic flights.

The common flu has killed 15k this yr.

Can you imagine the pandemonium if we had 15k corona deaths.

I couldn’t find any hand sanitizer, in St Louis! But I did order 200 golden saber hollow points.

How long before some genius starts selling infected swabs online? You know, so you can get it, get over it and move on with your life.

So does that count towards a covid19 death or not?

[rideit]

Instead of the pneumonia, it was a bullet.
Both secondary causes, I guess?

um, you know that its still winter and cold and flu season; my boss has had a constant cough all week, there are no cases in our city or state.

[Timberridge]

The virus finds TX as inhospitable as the rest of us.

[Kevo]

A global travel ban was put in place by our company today. 120,000 employees from our parent company and its subsidiaries (my company) will no longer be traveling. All conference attendance is also on hold. Everyone currently on the road was told to buy the next available flight home for fear of people being stuck away from home.

NYC and Tokyo offices are still shut down. It is now optional to go into any office. My boss told our team to stay home.

Skoug coming in hot with his usual brilliance.

Yeah, and people with the flu should stay home. It may not be known to be in your state. It is known to be in my state very nearby and we have had workers come in sick and be allowed to work. If I get it I will likely be fine but if a coworker were to test positive we would all be quarantined, be out of work for who knows how long and then come back to how much business?

Not just that, it's the get out of jail card du jour. Powder day? Scratchy throat. Trail ride? Cough. Missing meeting with boss? Low grade fever.

He could defer to people that know what they're talking about that could give a measured articulate statement.



Also, what's a check? Is that like when I 'check' to see if my tax return has been deposited into my account?

Evidently the president has a hunch that the numbers are not what the medical professionals claim:
