Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Apparently that’s one of the tough things about meat plants. At least some of the lines are shoulder to shoulder apparently.

And a lot of the workers live together...4-5 families per residence.

Maybe warmer weather in the south having a positive impact based on latest stats from GA and FLA.

I believe there are certain areas of the country that are driving the entire narrative. I don’t know it with certainty, but there are a few pieces of data I’ve seen that lead me in that direction.

My hypothesis is that we’ve treated the country as a homogenous state when underneath the covers they all have very different characteristics.

Yes they are. Visited a couple when I did food sales. It's grueling work and dangerous.

You are exactly right. The one size fits all doesn't work for every state.

Weird how this administration seems to work so diligently at undermining every agency or source that doesn't toe the line. Seems like nothing is a problem up until it desires the narrative it can't have, then they don't trust it.

Pretty soon it will be the medias fault, or have we come full circle on that yet already?

Maybe Trump can just force Barr to exonerate COVID-19 and we can call it a day.

How were they undermined? It was an internal meeting in which Birx said "you can't provide usable data", not a public dressing down.

The CDC isn't "every agency", but they (and FDA) are the sole reasons we had no meaningful testing for six weeks until mid-March.
Where is Birx wrong?

In fact, Trump has taken the public arrows that should have landed in their asses, and shielded the CDC and FDA.

Yes, that's true in the beef and pork plants. There's room to spread your wings at the poultry plants, though.

I see that we're approaching 80k deaths. Just imagine where we'd be without a shutdown.

66% of New positive cases in NY disagree

 

[vols40]

And changed nothing long term because it wasn't a solution. There is no vaccine and the threat of catching coronavirus still exists today and will exist for probably the rest of the year at least.

I'm still surprised people thought shutting everything down and telling everyone to stay home was the best option. And that there are people that think that practice should continue for longer.

I agree and once it was obvious that the hospitals would not be overwhelmed it should have been opened back up.

 

[Septic]

Bullcrap. You have used the term several times and in no particular reference. Just not sure what you stand for with such contradictions.

Those quotes aren't mutually exclusive.

Keep digging.

 

[Septic]

Sorry but a 2 month shutdown of the worlds economy is not a common sense measure. We also unburdened the Healthcare system so much that a large number of doctors and nurses got laid off. Solid work

No need to be sorry, i don't disagree but these observations come from the luxury of hindsight

Seems like the .gov should have had a plan for this, they didn't and subsequently and stupidly treated BFE America like Manhattan.

If someone is COVID-19 positive, do you want them processing your beef, chicken or pork?

 

[Septic]

That is for your side to answer since you all made the call to shut it down. So I assume they had a number in their heads and said to themselves, "That is just too many lives. We have to shut it down..."

Heh, what is my side? Trump and his best people made this call. Am I trumper now?

 

[1972 Grad]

If someone is COVID-19 positive, do you want them processing your beef, chicken or pork?

You eat yours raw or something?

 

[Purple Tiger]

You eat yours raw or something?

I handle raw meat when I unpackage it. Do you cook yours with the packaging on?

No, but I wash my hands, then cook the meat. I'm not sure how you catch anything that way.

Do you have soap and and a sink?

Someone beat you to that question, oh slow of brain.

 

[Septic]

Whatever it is, we havent come close to it on the death side.

I'm just trying to figure out where the monetary threshold is for death being an acceptable alternative.

E.g. 1,000 points off the DOW for each 10,000 dead?

Would the threshold be lower if the disease affected the young more disproportionately than the old?

 

[Purple Tiger]

Do you have soap and and a sink?

Do you have a cerebellum and frontal lobes?

Report: China Pressured W.H.O. to Cover Up Virus

Secret Xi-Tedros Call?

Weekly Der Spiegel reported that Xi asked Tedros during the call to hold back information about human-to-human transmission of the virus and delay declaring a pandemic. The magazine quoted Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, BND, which declined to comment Sunday.

I’d rather they not have to work with it. For me and them.

Hospitals can’t discharge coronavirus patients to nursing homes: Gov. Cuomo

Patients in New York hospitals must now test negative for the coronavirus before they can be discharged to nursing homes, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday — partially reversing a policy that forced sickened seniors into facilities housing those most vulnerable.

“We’re just not going to send a person who is positive to a nursing home after a hospital visit,” said Cuomo during an Albany press briefing. “Period.”

The ruling partially overrides a controversial March 25 order that nursing homes cannot deny admission or readmission on the basis of a positive or suspected COVID-19 case.

That policy has been roundly criticized as counterintuitive for forcing coronavirus carriers into nursing homes, even as Cuomo has repeatedly acknowledged that seniors are among those most susceptible to the virus.

CA had similar policy. NH home deaths are half of C19 deaths. Senior care homes source of nearly half of all California coronavirus-related deaths, data show
