Coronavirus

Pretty crazy stat here!

Nursing homes and assisted living homes account for 42% of US deaths despite accounting for 1.8% of the US population.

EDIT: I have seen one source say 0.6% of the population, another with the 1.8%. Both had between 42-43% of the deaths, so the only number in question is the percentage of population. Regardless, it's pretty telling.

What Cuomo and other did was/is horrific.
 
I know they say the move to nursing homes was CDC guidance, but it seemingly flies in the face of conventional wisdom. Definitely a 'WTF' moment on the parts of the feds and governors.
 


I have no problem shaming these people. They are depriving my kids of Important time with friends, time in sports camps, and much more. And they are putting my parents lives at risk. They are simple precautions to take. But yeah, go make your machismo point about your constitutional right to get a haircut without a mask. You are just making yourself look ridiculous, selfish and unpatriotic.
 
Here's a copy of the physician's actual letter

View attachment 9308

Here's what it doesn't say:

1. I prescribed Trump hydroxychlorquinine

2. Trump is taking the drug

My conclusion: Trump just shot his mouth off and isn't taking the drug.
My conclusion: You are interpreting it the way you want to interpret it despite what it actually says. "We concluded the potential benefit of the treatment outweighed the relative risk." You're suggesting they came to this conclusion and then decided to do the opposite of what the conclusion dictates?
 


Biden sure is losing his mind. He doesn’t know what testing positively or negatively even mean.

He didn't say it as eloquently as he could have (which sometimes happens in dialogue), but at no point did he sound like he was losing his mind. If you think this sounds like recent Biden statements then you clearly haven't been listening to Biden.
 
Such a vague reply certainly leaves you a lot of wiggle room. Can you actually give examples of what was selective and what was deceptive?

Extrapolating the results of survey to the entire state: selective.
Using the ratio of confirmed mortality to this extrapolation: deceptive.

That's full 46 seconds into the video. I listened to the whole thing once, I don't feel the need to repeat it.

I'm saying the letter is written in a misleading way. What would Trump be "treated" for? He doesn't have COVID-19.

I believe they have had many conversations and this doctor and the President have agreed that hydroxycholoroquine is worth trying. That is what the letter says.

This letter does not say that Trump was prescribed or that he is taking it. It was released to prove either or both of those two things but says neither.

Look man, I'm an attorney. I read insurance documents all day, including treatment recommendations. I know a sneaky wording trick when I see one. I think this is designed to be just plausible enough to make the already converted who won't just acknowledge that Trump is a serial liar feel like they have cover to believe an obvious lie.
 
Went out yesterday. What I saw was an utter and complete farce. People that wear the mask but only over their mouth. People with the mask around their neck because they are on the phone. People with no mask. One woman that had a mask only covering her mouth sneezed twice with no attempt to cover her face while sneezing. Another guy with no mask sneeze. All he did was turn his head to the side. What a joke.

What’s your point? So we shouldn’t wear them then?

Exposure and prophylaxis. There’s a term “to treat prophylactically.” I'm assuming you would know that, reading insurance documents and treatment recommendations all day.

Who do you think may be more apt to provide a more accurate interpretation of what that physician’s letter said: a physician, or a lawyer who doesn’t know that prophylaxis is treatment?

Could not roll my eyes harder, are you claiming to be a physician now that writes letters this way?

Do you really think you'd be able to justify a charge code with that letter?

I agree, people arent the best with their masks. But they are trying to do the right thing. And they do make it slightly better. I would rather someone sneeze with a mask not over their nose than to sneeze without a mask at all. This isnt at all different from China.

Another example of why this slow bleed will continue while countries like South Korea, Germany open back up and rebound at an accelerated rate. But hey, let's spend Memorial Day tweeting conspiracy theories.

I dont people are good at wearing masks there either. Here in China there are really no cases or next to no cases and things are very under control with the virus. Everyone wears a mask here but they suck at it as well. I see people everywhere wearing it only over their mouth. Taking it off to sneeze and a bunch of other stupid things, but they are at least trying.
 
I like that places put those things on the bottom of bathroom doors so you can open the doors with your foot.
I always thought they should have something like that before the coronavirus. I always opened push doors with my foot and always wanted to be able to open pull doors without touching the handles with my hands. So that's one nice thing that came out of all this.

I like those although I prefer bathrooms with no door at all. I hate when they have all automatic things except one thing. Like there is no door and the faucets and soap are automatic so you dont have to touch anything but then you have to touch something to get a paper to dry your hands. Its so nice when you dont have to touch anything.
