Mystery solved! This virus is really just God clearing house of all the old people so they don't have to take the Mark of the Beast!1!!11!
...are we in the goddamned Twilight Zone??
We should start a new feature on here called 'Corona Cunt of the Day'
I'm not the first to make this association, but every time Drumpf gives a presser on COVID-19 updates, it's like watching Mirror Universe Evil Grandpa Simpson tell us a story:
Corona "cunt of the day" for 3/21/20 - whatever greedy corporation this is.....
Our President has lied so frequently with such ease about so many things for so long that when he conducts press conferences these days regarding a situation he can't use his carnival barker showmanship to bullshit his way out of, the things that come out of [Trump's] mouth just don't have a lot of credibility with me at a time when I want to be able to believe what my president says: all Trump needs to do at these press conferences is introduce the various CDC officials, step out of the way and let the people learned in science speak in factual terms about where we are at and what we need to do next.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Missed this earlier and admittedly it was a while back.
It's a virus and not bacterial. It's not alive and antibiotics don't affect it.
I know there is a disclaimer about that at the end but still it's not a funny enough song to justify more shitty information at a time like this IMHO.
Judging by supermarkets I've been in over the last couple of weeks 95%+ of people don't get that because any soap with the phrase anti bacterial has been sold out.

Jeff Bezos, World’s Richest Man, Wants Your Donations To Help Amazon Employees
by Alan Macleod
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the world’s first centibillionaire, a man who vies with Bill Gates for the title of the planet’s richest individual, is asking the public for donations to provide basic support to his 800,000 employees who are suffering in poverty in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bezos announced:
“We are establishing the Amazon Relief Fund with a $25 million initial contribution focused on supporting our independent delivery service partners and their drivers, Amazon Flex participants, and seasonal employees under financial distress during this challenging time.”
The fund will also support both employees and contractors around the world that face economic hardship due to natural disasters or unforeseen personal circumstances. Those who qualify can apply for a grant of up to $5,000.
“I’ve never been more proud of our teams around the world. People are supporting one another, taking care of themselves and others while also doing what we do best, which is serving customers,” said Beth Galetti, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Amazon.
A man worth over $100 billion, who makes, on average, $230,000 per minute calling on the public to help his own impoverished employees was not met well by many. Amazon itself is worth over $1 trillion, and some felt Bezos himself was in a better position than others, especially members of the public also economically hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, to help his own staff. Furthermore, the company is notorious as a bad employer. Forced to forego bathroom breaks, many company warehouse workers are effectively compelled to wear diapers during their shifts. Other employees report working in unsafe environments and being punished for injuries sustained on the job. The company also does not provide its employees with regular access to clean water.Amazon set up a relief fund for its employees and is asking us to donate.
Amazon is worth nearly $1 trillion.
Amazon paid a negative federal income tax rate in 2018. They paid nothing but got millions in government subsidies.
How is this real. https://t.co/MiLArAnTdA

Amazon workers are poor. Really poor. In Arizona, for example, the company’s own data suggests that one in three employees depend upon food stamps to put food on the table. It is the twenty-eighth largest employer in the state. However, it ranked fifth on the list for most employees enrolled in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). Across the United States, it is a similar story. In Pennsylvania, for instance, Amazon is the nineteenth largest employer but is in fifth place on the SNAP employees list of corporations. And amidst the deadly COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe, the job is one of the more dangerous around, as workers are constantly on the move, handling a great number of packages and in close proximity to others. Despite its poor pay, the job is considered essential to the upkeep of society.
Bezos’ charitable donations often garner him considerable praise in the media. His donation of one million Australian dollars to aid the bushfires in January generated headlines proclaiming his generosity. But as MintPress reported, that was equivalent to just three minutes’ income, as generous as a person making $20,000 per year donating a dime. Linsey McGoey, Professor of Sociology at the University of Essex, UK, told MintPress that, “philanthropy can and is being used deliberately to divert attention away from different forms of economic exploitation that underpin global inequality today.”I can’t even process this…
Amazon — you know, the one run by the richest man, the one whose sales have shot up during a pandemic — is doing an online fundraiser. Asking all of us to donate to support its warehouse temps & flex drivers hit by Covid.

In other news, Amazon employees in Chicago announced yesterday that, through collective action, they had forced the company to agree to paid time off for all U.S. warehouse workers, something that will be especially useful in the current circumstances. “Almost a year ago, in the summer of 2019, a small crew of us got fed up with Amazon’s bullshit and met up outside of work because we felt we had to do something,” they said, proclaiming victory.
In the U.S., the company is currently increasing recruitment to deal with a sharp surge in sales. On the other hand, the government of France has suspended all non-essential Amazon deliveries in a bid to cut down on contagion rates. The company has also been forced to halt price gouging on its website of key products like hand sanitizer.
While Bezos asks for donations, he appears to genuinely not have considered using his own wealth to help those in need. In 2018 he lamented that “the only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into space travel. That is basically it.” His employees might have other ideas about how he could use his fortune.
If he gave his 800 000 staff $2500 a month for 5 months that's only 10% of his cash.
Absolute genius:
Those beaches will be open!
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
I saw a post somewhere that said "that guy couldn't cure epoxy!"
Trump tweeted today
The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!
He's a fucking lunatic who is going to be responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths.
What a fucking prick.
Virginia Pastor Who Said COVID-19 Was Anti-Trump “Mass Hysteria” Dies of Virus
BY BO GARDINER
MARCH 26, 2020
Yesterday, one of the first deaths of a Virginia resident from COVID-19 was a Christian musical evangelist who, believing the pandemic response to be anti-Trump “mass hysteria,” took his family to New Orleans to “wash it from its Sin and debauchery.”
A Gretna man who had double pneumonia and tested positive for COVID-19 in Concord North Carolina died around 4 a.m. Wednesday, the family reports.
Landon Spradlin, 66, was an accomplished blues musician who pastored several different churches over the years.
Spradlin was in New Orleans with his wife, Jean Spradlin, when he started getting sick. On their way back to Gretna on March 17, his condition worsened to the point where he could hardly breathe…
The Roanoke Times described Spradlin as a “traveling musical minister” and “fine guitarist” with a “powerful soul-blues voice,” at one time “a significant part of the Roanoke-area blues scene.”
On his Facebook page, Spradlin had posted many photos and videos of his family, his band, and himself performing and sightseeing in New Orleans beginning on what seems February 21 through March 10. Much of his time appeared to be in crowded Jackson Square, where his band played in what he called his “Jackson Square Ministry.” Other locations included performing in intimate music clubs, dining in restaurants, and walking on Bourbon Street.
On Feb. 28, he posted “We had an awesome Mardi Gras outreach this year. Many were touched by the power and love of Jesus!!”
Well... apparently he was touched by somebody, but not Jesus.
So the story so far...
I do work in the field of medical statistics and so going to the people that know about this stuff rather than failed businessmen with a hunch here are the best stats we have at the moment.
Twice as infectious as flu, ten times as deadly.
The chance of death is the same as it is for anything else. i.e. it isn't an old person's disease it simply kills in proportion to the usual deaths by age background lifestyle etc. It just does it quicker and so this disease if you do nothing kills about a years worth of extra people. So a years worth of 80 year old fat people with asthma is lot more than a years worth of 30 year old runners but the numbers are in proportion. The do nothing number for the UK is/was around 600 000 dead.
The US would then be around 5 times that by population, take a bit off for a much more spread out population add a bunch due to mixed messages form Trump. That could be 3 million dead in the worst case scenario, the Trump scenario of get back to work or I might no t get re-elected scenario.
Locally, in my county of Erie, about 250 confirmed, five dead all in their 70's or 80's. But the local hospitals are now deploying medical triage tents outside for the coming storm...
