I’m a republican and like I said 3 years ago, I didn’t vote for him, I didn’t vote at all.  

Same. I never gave serious consideration to voting for him. It was easy for me to see how vile he was from the beginning. Not sure how so many others failed to see it (blind hatred toward Hilary, I believe).

quote I read this morning from Charles Pierce

But the fact is that electing a TV clown and real-estate grifter to be president just to own the libs—and because you hate Hillary Rodham Clinton—turns out to have been a bad idea all around. This is an administration that was set up to fail and it has followed its programming precisely.

 

The response to Hurricane Maria was a warning shot that was ignored

Mortality rates from Italy

The case fatality rate here is higher than it is in South Korea and similar though still slightly higher than those from the initial outbreak in Wuhan. That is likely due to an overwhelmed hospital system in which the quality of care becomes degraded and more limited testing of the mildly ill in a crisis context. But what is very consistent is the relationship between age, severity and mortality. Mortality is very limited for people under 50 (only two fatalities under 50 years of age to date out of almost 13,882 infections. But especially for people over age 70, it is highly, highly lethal.

I've read more than once that South Korea has been able to test at an extremely fast rate which has helped them reduce the mortality rates:

Amazing how far behind the US has been.

South Korea has 1/10th of the population spread over 1/100th of the land mass. That does have an effect.

If people say they didn't vote for him, I believe them. I'm pretty sure Chuck, MAGA, and yvangelfan are the only self-confirmed Trump voters on AngelsWin.

this thread going to be interesting in 6-8 weeks. we will be mourning a lot of deaths or trying to explain how america survived in spite of trump.

 

Listen guys I’m not a big Trump fan either but your posts in this thread are stale as fuck. Take your bullshit and get the fuck out of here. We are talking about the spread of the virus, the effects on our communities and how we are preparing. All you bring to the table is orange man bad. Eat a cruise ship of dicks.

good breakdown. I think we do need to stress avoiding contact with the older folks. Even if we feel healthy, probably best to visit less or not at all. Charitable groups and government efforts should be more focused on providing them services with reduced exposure. I think we can do this and still allow some events to continue with or without fans.

Trump is looking oompa loompa caliber orange today.

Good look for him.

Kill me now, LBUSD closing school until April 20. 

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

At least when I do have to go into work over the next month the drive should be a lot better.  I'll be curious to see how many kids are out and about with the schools closed.  I realize keeping kids entertained is a hard sell especially if you tell them to stay at home but reducing social interactions backfires if the playgrounds and parks are full of kids.

Trump says he does not support House coronavirus bill

From CNN's Sarah Westwood and Jason Hoffman

President Trump said Friday he does not currently support the House Democrats’ coronavirus bill, which would among other things provide paid leave to Americans who can’t go into work during the pandemic. 

 “We just don’t think they’re giving enough, we don’t think the Democrats are giving enough,” Trump said during an appearance in the Rose Garden.

"We thought we had something, but all of a sudden they didn’t agree to certain things,” Trump said of Democrats.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin spoke eight times Friday as they worked to negotiate a coronavirus response all sides can support, although sticking points over the paid leave aspects of the legislation remain. 

"They’re not doing what’s right for the country,” Trump said.
