OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting (4 Viewers)

Interesting take from an economist that I follow:

Constricted Consumption

While politicians can argue about who has the authority to reopen the economy, in the end it is consumers and businesses that will make that decision based on safety and security. Early evidence from China (which is at best an untrustworthy data source), is not good. March retail sales fell 19%, suggesting the combination of behavioral changes and the material loss of wealth and income meaningfully held back consumption.

Semantics, IMO...he was removed from his post and demoted...and if I was him, I'd certainly consider it as getting fired.

I will wait until all the facts come in before I have a locked opinion on the situation.

 

[lawai'a]

Yeah, I was just making a joke off the Rosa Parks thing.

i thought it might be, i don't watch tv though so couldn't connect to the reference. sorry it was wasted on me. others likely smiled.

 

[magnifier661]

No, there are circumstances where an employee cannot be demoted or fired.

Curious to see these circumstances if you have them.

Interesting assessment by Graphika, a company that used artificial intelligence to dive deep into twitter. I'm not saying we should let the WHO off the hook here, but there are possibly some other factors that aren't being taken into consideration. Idk, I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but it does show there may be something else going on here.

And just like that, Rick Bright’s claim receives a major blow. He was praising HDQ decisions in emails. Also, the Administration has been on record trying to demote him last year.

This is a no spin zone.

Well, what is it? Was he against Hydroxychloroquine or not? His emails contradicts his public statement.

And when was Trump touting hydroxychloroquine? So trying to demote him last year isn’t relevant? Fail

When was Trump touting it? Really?

I recall his quote being, “I’m not a Doctor, but I have common sense”.

I remember it being the buzzword by all the right wing media people. Saying we would retaliate against India if they didn’t ease restrictions.

That quack Navarro getting is a hissy fit with Fauci over it.

By the way, what ever happened to Fauci. It’s like he’s disappeared from the media circus. Probably because he doesn’t fall in line with Trumps campaign rally type mockery he makes out of the daily presser.

Nice deflection. You were pushing Bright’s being demoted because he publicly said he was against Hydroxychloroquine.

I provided the support that he praised Hydroxychloroquine. I also provided information that the Administration was trying to demote him last year.

fail

Trump is straight up stepping over his dick in his response to Covid-19. He literally doesn't know the job of POTUS.

Actually no. The extended 30 days of Shut Down was made with the modeling that 220k mortality. The current mortality is well below that prediction.

 

[magnifier661]

Whoops!

Trump belongs in The Guinness Book of Fuckups.

Hopefully the Donald adopts a baby Coyote that roamed the empty hills of Mar-a-who-gives-a-fuck, names it America and spends his retirement days applying different mascaras, blush and whatever else is used to make it great.

Covid Nurse in Oregon is pleading for a J-O-B

Interesting article and wondered about the actual impact on hospitals & nurses. Its nice to get feedback from a nurse and hows she's been effected. I have a neighbor across the street that is a nurse at OHSU as she to has conveyed a total change in things, closing down her department to help and now there isn't enough work for departments to stay solvent.

 

[magnifier661]

Maybe this is why New York has the most mortalities in the US? Thanks Cuomo.

43% of all deaths are in Long Term Care Facilities.

I get why the states stopped specific sectors to help with over crowding of the hospitals, but now is the time to open them up.

And the US has more deaths, more new deaths, more total cases, more new cases, more actives cases, than any other country in the world.

Thanx Donald.

Nice deflect. So you don’t believe that policy was wrong?

 

[yankeesince59]

No deflection...you thanked Cuomo for NY...I thanked Trump for the US.

If you hold Cuomo accountable for NY, Trump should be held accountable for the US...end of story.

Okay, I’ll take your position to trump responsible. So, do you hold Cuomo responsible?

No, that's not what I said and not what I was responding to. My comparison/correlation was based purely on your opinion not mine.

 

[magnifier661]

Very true.
