Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

And watching both parents die struggling for air and slowly suffocating from pneumonia and lung fibrosis. I took my lessons from Wuhan. They shut down entirely for 6 weeks. That's what it seems to take to stop the spread. I'm ready to hunker down for a month - which is good earthquake preparedness anyway. I could probably outlast it if it were to come to my neighborhood. Other than that, after the last flu(?) which took 2 months out of my life, I'm bound and determined to not catch anything else at all for at least a year! Anyway, I'm not panicked, but I am prepared. You can be one without the other.

I have a different question. It's related to the major beef I have with the M$M in their "reporting" on this virus. I have not heard them once say the age, health status prior to getting the virus, how long they had the virus before seeking help (if they know) - a number of very important factors for those people who have died. I'm seeing Trump do his usual stupid sh*t, but I'm also seeing reporting being equally lacking, like this is bringing out the worst in both. It's almost as if they are keeping the alarm levels high so we'll keep watching. Purposely not reporting on those facts is extremely contemptible, unprofessional and shameful. Not that I expect much better.

Quote:On Tuesday, after days of growing clamor to make more testing available, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the administration was issuing new guidance that “will make it clear that any American can be tested” for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, and said that 2,500 kits would be sent out this week, an equivalent of 1.5 million tests.
Quote:Here are some basics that may be useful to keep in mind: The CDC test kits can be thought of somewhat like a Blue Apron meal kit; there’s some assembly required before a lab can begin testing. It’s not like a protein bar, ready to eat straight out of the wrapper. As of Wednesday, the Association of Public Health Laboratories, which represents public health labs across the United States, told me that each CDC test kit can run about 700 specimens. Note the “about” — you might have heard that each CDC test kit can run 1,000 specimens. That’s also true, but labs use up a certain amount of material in the process of setting up the kit and also to ensure that all the results from actual patient samples are accurate. So that’s where the “about 700” number is coming from. None of those numbers, so far, are in units of what I care about — patients. We’re still talking about samples and specimens. APHL says the labs are running two specimens per patient, to double-check the result. So that means you actually can only test 350 people per kit.

Not that I expect much better. Then the CDC is the problem, not the news. The CDC decided to be completely opaque, not telling anybody anything. Why? It won't say but probably ordered by Trump: Throughout February, the CDC published a regular tally of Americans who had been tested for the pathogen. Last Saturday, several days after the country’s first case of community transmission was confirmed, that figure was 472. Then the agency stopped updating the tally. It did not publish new numbers of how many Americans had been tested for the virus on Sunday or Monday, as public criticism of the sluggish response to the disease began to mount. On Tuesday, it announced that it would stop publishing the figure altogether. Our reporting has found that the CDC has not made good on Messonnier’s assurance that state numbers would be available and up to date. Many states are not reporting their results quickly: In our survey, we found that in some states, the most recently available numbers were days old. Since the CDC’s pullback, it has become extremely difficult to track the nation’s growing capacity to test for the coronavirus. www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/how-many-americans-have-been-tested-coronavirus/607597/ What is Trump thinking? Probably that if the CDC does not report Coronavirus test results, people will assume it is just a bad case of the flu. If it is the flu, even if it is fatal, it is not Trump's problem. Problem solved for Trump! It's the same way he handles interviewers. When he lies, the interviewer doesn't slap the hell out of Trump right then and therefore most viewers will assume Trump told the truth . . .

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: “It’s going to all work out,” Mr. Trump said as recently as Thursday night. “Everybody has to be calm. It’s going to work out.” EQUALS "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" Sometimes the President' job is to be cheerleader-in-chief. Emergency funds have been allocated. The CDC and Public Health labs are at work. Unlike in FDR's day, there is a huge bureaucracy to handle this crisis. What should Trump do?

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: SECOND ... apparently you don't know how to read a chart. Or remember who was President, when. As a reminder, Obama was President from 2008 to 2016. Your first chart shows the total debt (in millions of dollars) rising between 1990 and 1999 (roughly the Clinton years) with a small leveling-off in that last year (Clinton's famous balanced budget, where he took advatange of the "peace dividend"), a steeper rise under GWB, and and even steeper rise under Obama (from 2008 to 2016). Where Trump becomes President is INDISTINGUISHABLE from Obama's curve. The next chart show Federal debt, not in millions of dollars but as a percent of GDP. It shows a rise, but then a significant fall under Clinton so that he ends up slightly lower than where he started (57%-55%), a significant rise under GWB (55%-62%) and a GINORMOUS rise under Obama (62% to 100%) where it levels off in approx 2013. There isn't enough of the Trump era to make a judgment, but what they show is INDISTIGUISHABLE from the Obama era at the transition. What do your charts and post tell me? a) Trump is indistinguishable from Obama in terms of Federal debt, (also, btw, welath gap) even comparing the end of Obama's term to the beginning of Trump's b) You can't see what is literally in front of your face. You posted something which entirely undercuts your point.

Quote:Signym, you once claimed you are not "for" Trump, and other times that he is the "Loose Cannon" smashing the system, but here you are defending by comparing him to Obama and Bush. You missed the two biggest points...
Quote: Signym, you didn't even touch on Trump and the atom bombs. He dropped out of a treaty with Iran. He botched N Korea. He let nuclear treaties with Russia expire. He is even building a new atom bomb, W76-2, just for assassinating heads of state. He is setting the world toward a nuclear holocaust even after he is not president.

Quote: We’re going to win another four years for a lot of reasons, most importantly because our country is starting to do well again and we’re being respected again. But another reason that I’m going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there because without me, their ratings are going down the tubes. Without me, The New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times. So they basically have to let me win. And eventually, probably six months before the election, they’ll be loving me because they’re saying, “Please, please, don’t lose Donald Trump.” O.K.
