Coronavirus News and Updates Thread: Part 5 (retired, money, claim, supporter)

The real concern is the available resources to treat the critically ill.

And we see we have a real problem with that. I don't care who is responsible, it is clear as a country we are a hot mess in that regard.

We are pulling it together but this does highlight the need for better pandemic planning.

You're right that one can't easily separate out the testing rate from the positive case rate (at least most of us can't)... plus like I said, it's a dynamic situation, and if we just went back to normal, I'd expect that curve to flip back concave again, accelerating. But with those caveats, I'll take it as some positive news. We can use it!

You all still think we're doing enough ?

Was he still working at the studio?

All of this isn't to stop the virus, it's to slow the spread of the virus. Most people are going to get it. The question is when, and if medical care is needed, whether or not it will be available.

This is why people get so upset with Trump. Never says what he means and never means what he says. Why does he even bother talking?

I was pretty much just quoting Trumps supporters and their way of thinking.

Sorry. Sometimes it is hard to tell who is who on this forum. So that means I agree with you.

The shortage of masks has been what has prompted this bad advice. Of course it helps.

No we have differing opinions. Not many absolute rights and wrongs in politics.

Tucker Carlson: We understand there's a shortage of medical masks. Stop lying to us and tell the truth:

Maybe he's doing that on purpose...to throw groups of people off.

Every country has a problem with that. We were told over and over to self isolate.
Didn't listen so more mandates were put in place and still didn't listen.
