No, it’s right - the 14-ish was something else. But we only posted 13k tests daily over the weekend. Wonder if that’s just “first time” testing numbers vs total tests? And our diagnosed cases early on had to have missed a lot of positives, because we’re still over 4% CFR.
Not surprisingly, chicago is bringing the overall number up a lot. https://newschannel20.com/news/local/illinois-covid-19-to-now-peak-in-mid-june
Sorry to hear that. There is no doubt that this is traumatic and various aspects of it impact different people differently. That said, I agree with you...if he is going to make a statement like that he can pull out suicide numbers to prove it. Also, just throwing out that more people are using drugs is Reagan/Bush era scare tactics.
our old friend steve cook was featured in the local news about reopening his spot https://www.wistv.com/2020/05/10/wh...vices-small-business-are-eager-get-back-work/
It’s the same data problem we have with total deaths per month. March 2020 won’t be posted until March 2021.
Thanks. I'm still luckier than most bc we're financially secure. Still Trump doesn't pivot to give stats, or list resources for people to get assistance. People are going to die of something so we're actually helping is ridiculous.
Start calling mask “patriot face shields” slap an American flag and some camo and market to the right wing mouth breathers.
This is pretty much the ideal scenario for those governors. They get to claim all the benefits of reopening without the pile of dead bodies that would ensue from everything actually being back to normal.
Fuck the fuck off with the headline Reuters Call it what it is. “President speed nonsense and racist tropes at reporters.”
Ehhhh....I think there are alot of do-nothing, critics out there. Guy is trying to solve enormous structural problems, while being a huge weirdo and shameless self-promoter. Whatever you think of him, wondering why people want to talk about him is a strange take.
Man, I think you might be on to something there. It’s almost like that may be whole point of a managed open
They’re operating at far below authorized capacities. The whole point is to kick people off unemployment. It’s abhorrent and it will kill people.
They were afraid it would scare customers/patients(pharmacy). In early April we could voluntarily wear masks then 2 weeks later it was mandatory.
The point is for small businesses to go bankrupt while the politicians can say its their own fault, they were open?
Conservatives: This lockdown is preventing people from making a living, we have to reopen so these small businesses can earn money. Also conservatives: The whole point of a managed re-opening is that businesses can open and operate at a loss.
I would like to know the savings here. This school has an $11 billion endowment and is still collecting tuition while transitioning online. They refunded dorm fees but not tuition. So what, really, has changed for them to justify this move?
University contributions to retirement plans will stop in June and might not be reinstated until at least 2021, according to the announcement. As NU works to determine when the matches can be reinstated, employees can continue putting their own wages toward the funds. “We expect this action alone will save the university tens of millions of dollars and considerably reduce the possibility of further cuts,” the message said. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coro...0200511-k4vv5mhkxnctdhtkjkaqqhrrxa-story.html
Unfortunately, I believe this will only feed the beast for many. Once something gets flagged it will be censorship and liberal elites keeping the truth from we the people.... Post-truth society and such.
In 2018, non-tenured faculty vote against unionization. The pro union faculty initially won, but then lost on a recount of contested ballots. Smart move by those voting it down. Now they have the freedom of having the school decline to fund their 401ks for the foreseeable future.
The fuck? Your dumbass Congress been in power for years but it’s a president who hasn’t been in office since 3.5 years ago fault?
I do not understand how people can lie so openly with such little regard as to the consequences to others.
They are directly responsible for thousands of deaths by underplaying its severity, promoting lies and disinformation, and refusing to help the American people.
i was thinking about it i’ve never seen a person talk as much as trump does when he needs to shut the fuck up, and be silent when he needs to speak up the most it’s really remarkable
