    BG night is clearly the king of this thread. (I've only updated until page 527, but it's pure gold so far)
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    US still lagging dramatically behind on testing. Top graphic is a 50 day window from the time of the first patient diagnosis.

    There's an obvious delay in those data though. Here's up to the minute. Looks like ~10% of tested are positive and a 1.8% fatality rate. Fatality rate is impacted by number of tests conducted and lag between diagnosis and death. Regardless, this points to a death rate that is on par with S Korea and not Italy/Spain.

    Yet in Colorado, only 20% of the people tested so far (meaning those with the worst symptoms, referred by a doctor) are positive. That’s either a lot of false negatives, or a really bad assumption by the medical community.

    Late with my reply, but yeah. Not only are the masks hard to make but the machinery isn't easy or quick to build.

    Scored some of this yesterday at the local Grocer. Who was surprisingly well stocked. Grabbed 5lbs of wings, a massive block of Cabot, and a spare tank for the grill. Happy Endings indeed

    Fair enough. Mostly what Spats has done so far is carry the current administrations water with incomplete cherry picked factoids and lazy half-ass take downs of rumors that haven't actually appeared in this thread. It's more than a little pathetic given how badly they've bungled the early response.

    For example, Spats posted an opinion piece by a Trump appointee who goes on to say the Trump administration saw fit to shrink the NSC staff for the sake of efficiency but fails to mention the officials who were forced out were the ones in charge of the U.S. response to pandemics.

    It matters because even though the problems with the labs were real they were greatly exaggerated by top leadership and coordination problems in no small part due to the executive making light of the coronavirus, telling everyone it would miraculously disappear. Then from the top down there was infighting between the political leadership, who didn't consider it a major threat, and the scientific leadership, who did, which further hamstrung the ability to coordinate testing.

    The fact that Spats vigorously defends the lack of wide spread testing, after exculpating the people who are actually in charge, tells you all you really need to know.

    What Spats has done is cherry-pick details that tell his side of the story while insulting anyone who points out the much more credible evidence that he's wrong. The most insulting of which is people here want to see "mass deaths." Spats was an asshole when he posting here before and he's become an even bigger asshole since his return.

    I may have to come up to the Hannaford in Lac Placide and do some grocery shopping. They have toilet paper too?

    They sure do. The only thing that isn’t well stocked is disinfectant wipes. Everything else seemed very well stocked.

    I’m so Goddamned sick of all the pole-smoking hoarders. I just need some motherfucking soap. I don’t care what it is. Just one thing of motherfucking soap. It’s been like this for weeks. Forget a 3oz bottle of sanitizer for the 5 y/o. Jerkoff spazzes. Next asshat I see with a cart load of 10x the shit they need I’m helping myself to one and walking the fuck on. Fuck this is a nation of assholes.

    Hand soap for the boys bathroom. Or really any running water source. It’s like he deliberately goes out of his way to find the nastiest shit to get his hands into.


    Apparently the turbo hoarders don’t like fish tacos. No shortage of frozen wild caught fish, cilantro, cabbage and limes. I know what I’m eating for the next month.

    Just a reminder, you can't make soap from fish tallow. Now, deer on the other hand leave a wonderful creamy complexion.
