This bozo blamed the wrath of god on homosexuals as the reason for the virus so we can only assume he's been blowing guys through a hole in a sheet...

Using that logic, Xi Jinping should take responsibility for China's botched handling and misinformation about the virus. Starts at the top, right?Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

I think 'manipulate you' is a bit strong, manipulate you into not spreading the worst virus in 100 years?
It's a point though and I did notice it myself. The US is probably still in the top 10 though I don't trust Iran's figures(or Russia's) and since those graphs were done the UK has leapfrogged the US. This is a marathon not a sprint and the virus doesn't respect borders. Until there is a vaccine then we are all at risk and can't live normally while it's somewhere in the world. It's not really hit developing countries yet.Comment

One variable in all those numbers that isn't reflected... percentage tested. That figure varies widely country to country.
In the US, I'd say we're just now testing widely people who are symptomatic and most likely still not fully covering all who may carry the virus. Just in the last week or so has a decent number of tests become available for many areas of the US, outside of the hot spots. I expect numbers will continue to climb for another couple of weeks just based on testing availability, not necessarily due to an increase of the spread."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Feds Warn Alex Jones to Stop Hawking Coronavirus Scams
WHACK A TROLL
The FDA sent a letter to the infamous conspiracy theorist on Thursday saying he needed to stop pushing colloidal silver as a therapy for COVID-19

The Food and Drug Administration is demanding that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones stop advertising dubious dietary supplements as coronavirus treatments and threatening legal action if he doesn’t comply.
The FDA sent a letter to Jones and his website InfoWars on Thursday demanding that he stop telling the viewers of his popular internet broadcasts that they can ward off the virus with colloidal silver products sold on his website. Those videos, the FDA wrote, “misleadingly represent them as safe and/or effective for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.”
A failure to remove those claims, the agency added, “may result in legal action seeking a Federal District Court injunction and an order may require that you pay back money to consumers.”
Jones, who is famous for fabricating conspiracy theories and marketing dubious health supplements, has been hawking supposed coronavirus-killing colloidal silver products in videos with titles like “Deep State Using Coronavirus Fear and Panic To Destroy Our Country.” In one video posted last month, he told viewers of his ”Nano Silver” supplements: “the Pentagon has come out and documented, and homeland security have said this stuff kills the whole SARS corona family, at point blank range.”
Colloidal silver is a liquid that contains tiny particles of the metal. A number of scammers and natural medicine enthusiasts have marketed it as a coronavirus treatment since the outbreak hit the U.S. There is no scientific basis for those claims.
Despite Jones’ on-air claims to the contrary, language on InfoWars’ online marketplace explicitly states that its colloidal silver products are not designed to treat the virus. “The products on this site are not intended for use in the cure, treatment, prevention or mitigation of any disease, including the novel coronavirus,” the website warns. “Any suggestion to the contrary is false and is expressly disavowed.”
Jones and InfoWars were also targeted by authorities in New York last month over his claims about the products’ ability to ward off the coronavirus. The state’s attorney general sent InfoWars a cease and desist letter demanding it stop airing dubious claims about its products’ health benefits.
Jones is among the most prominent right-wing media personalities targeted by government regulators. But others, such as Missouri televangelist Jim Bakker, have received similar warnings. The FDA wrote Bakker a letter last month demanding he stop marketing similar silver products as coronavirus treatments.

Silver actually IS useful as an anti-bacterial. Apparently Alex is banking on the fact that his audience is too dumb to know the difference between a bacteria & a virus.Eat Us And Smile

Boris The Spider suddenly appreciates the NHS
Didn't he used to side with the corporatists who wanted to privatize it??
I'll say this for Boris though... he might look like British Trump, and his politics might not be much better, but at least his own brush with death has helped him learn a lesson. I doubt Cheeto would have had that perspective.Eat Us And Smile
