Looks like a scene from hunger games.

Lock this in, two days of sw flow lake effect?

Craziness in China. https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=stlvU_1606106155 https://nypost.com/2020/11/23/chaos-erupts-at-shanghai-airport-after-mass-covid-19-testing-ordered/

LOLZ^^^ Looks like airlines are starting to pull back. Jetblue just canceled a flight of mine in January and looks to be running a skeleton schedule between here and JFK.

And you can no longer get tested unless you have symptoms. Further moving the % positive upward.

Meanwhile epicenter China goes on without a beat. This seems like an alternate plot to Red Storm Rising. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/18/economy/china-q3-gdp-intl-hnk/index.html

Anyone remember how bad the hard pack was on the roads that week? They also postponed the Harvard cup because of the storm.

I spent 12 hours trying to drive from McKinley High in north Buffalo to home in S Buffalo. Must have pushed 50 cars that night. Never made it, got as far as hutch tech. Also stole a camera from some kids throwing snowballs at cars on park side Oh yeah, about 4 hours of that was on the scajaquada. Someone had beer there...

Took a few months in I am legend.

I think this is genius. Going to need some creativity to get people traveling internationally again. https://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/jetblue/jetblue-aruba-covid-testing

They can borrow to cover deficits, and borrowed $11B for FY2020. Technically that's a deficit unless you can argue that the interest paid on the money borrowed is more than paid back by whatever you borrowed the money for.

Stuff like anti virals and anti coagulants, maybe homeopathic is the wrong term.

Good info. I do think that aspirin use and other homeopathic treatments have helped reduce hospitalization, and mortality has been reduced due to better treatment of those hospitalized.

I'd be good with that as long as its as crazy as what PA did with masks in your own house.

Lol that's not what he's saying. Hes simply saying that the better testing is showing the spread more accurately. This is a good thing as it might mean that mortality is lower than expected because more people were infected in the beginning than reported.

You’re wrong on this point. Without heavy subsidies it’s not cheaper yet. (Won’t be for some time) And countries like the US and can afford that, but what happens in India? Or how about when Africa starts industrializing? What we do here in the US and Europe (China is a joke) won’t do anything to slow the warming that will be caused by that. I’m not saying to be irresponsible with the environment, I’m saying the money being subsidized would be best spent relocating people, infrastructure improvements like flood control for NYC harbor, and investments in fission and fusion power.

Treatment has dramatically improved. Look at what we learned about how the virus causes hypoxia. You’re kind of late to the game on this Thread but we’ve previously talked about how intubation was a mistake for many of the early cases and caused unnecessary deaths.

Ya I forgot about testing rates. Prob a combo of the two factors.

Thanks, completely forgot about that feature.

Feel free to join the discussion here where everyone who disagrees with you isn’t a homophobic racist.

If you’re talking about death rates look at the numbers. In April we were seeing 2500 deaths a day on 35 k cases a day. Now we’re seeing only 2k deaths a day on 150k cases a day. Treatment is orders of magnitude better now. Hospitals aren’t being overwhelmed.

Not really sure what you’re asking.

Completely agree.

It has nothing to do with politics. I’ts everything to do with being objective. My fav paper written in college when I was a left leaning dem was that global warming isn’t the problem, overpopulation and where we chose to live is. That’s not being a crass republican, that’s being objective. You need to realize that we as humans overvalue our importance. You also need to remember what caused WW2. Germany was poor and starving and forced into expansion. What happens globally if the economy keeps shrinking?
