Try being anti soviet in Russia back in the day. Or If your Chinese and your publicly anti-China in Australia the government can and will fk up whatever family you have back in China. The US is less fkd up than any other western country purely because it is still best placed to innovate and drive technology forward. Criticise it all you want, but don't pretend you are not a direct beneficiary of the goodness of the US, cause you most certainly are. |

One reason New York has such bad numbers is that Coumo sent so many infected patients back into nursing homes.
https://nypost.com/2020/05/01/cuomos...ex-gov-pataki/ In a rare swipe at his successor Friday night, Pataki called for an independent probe “so this never happens again.” Pataki said the state Health Department should never have issued an edict requiring nursing homes to accept coronavirus virus patients into nursing home facilities filled with sick, elderly patients — the population most at risk from the killer COVID-19 bug. Compounding the misguided policy, Pataki said, is that the nursing homes lacked the personal protective equipment or testing capability to isolate and contain the spread of COVID-19. Pataki also said he was dumbfounded as to why infected patients were sent to nursing homes instead of “hundreds of unused beds” at the two temporary hospitals at the Javits Center and the Navy’s USNS Comfort hospital ship. |

Ok. The US of A.
New York State has clearly been the worst hit. It has 27.6% of the cases in the country, 36.2% of the deaths but only 5.9% of the population. New Jersey has 10.7% of the cases, 11.5% of the deaths and only 2.7% of the population. Massachusetts is even for case and mortality percentages at 5.72% but has 2.1% of the population. Conversely, California has 12% of the population but but 4.5% of cases and 3.2% of deaths. ![]() In terms of case mortality rates, the States above the 5.8% average include Michigan (9.3%), Conneticut (8.1%) and New York (7.6%). At the other end of the scale, those below 3% include South Dakota (0.8%), Utah (0.98%) and Wyoming (1.21%). ![]() ![]() When the number of cases per 100k of population is viewed, there is a huge disparity between the best and worst. The latter includes New York (1,500), Federal Prisons (1,384) and New Jersey (950) while the former includes Montana (42), Hawaii (44) and Alaska (50). ![]() ![]() Likewise, deaths per 100k of population is equally wide ranging with New York (125), New Jersey (86.6) and Connecticut (65.6) amongst the worst while Alaska (1.22), Wyoming (1.23) and Montana (1.47) are at the better end. ![]() ![]() Alaska and Hawaii are in almost total lockdown including schools. California and New Jersey are also in lockdown but only since March 19th and Connecticut followed suit a week later. Montana went into lockdown earlier than most and has since extended the duration and severity of the lockdown. Wyoming, however, is the edge case as they have largely remained open with the only closures being schools but it's also a sparsely populated State which has no doubt helped.

Of all the experts that have studied this virus genetic code how many have come to the conclusion that it is man made or synthetic? Perhaps they have all been silenced? It doesn't matter to the general populations of the countries around the world where the virus originated. We have it here so we just have to deal with it. Questioning how the virus started or how it managed to be spread around doesn't make it any less real.

But if you put a sign on it how are you meant to claim that the really, really dumb statement you made a few days ago was sarcasm. Maybe you can make Trump a sarcasm sign to hold up during press conferences.

AEST is 10 hours ahead of GMT (too many hours interpreting aviation weather reports, which are all in GMT). However, I expect there would be a lag between actual time of passing and when it was reported/recorded too, so therefore may not have made the reporting cut-off time. Either way, another sad case for someone's family.

I’m not suggesting it was deliberately released as a bio weapon, I’m sarcastically asking logical questions to what is being told to is is the official narrative? Is Scomo a tinfoil hat because he is pressuring the UN to form an investigation? The day we can’t question the media is a very dark day, perhaps we should just remove the press and have a offical state run media? No thanks. Last edited by FPV8U; 03-05-2020 at 05:55 PM. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Em..._sterilization It is breathtakingly astounding how determined some of you are to convince us of how ignorant and stupid you are. That's a terrible sentence but I'm going to leave it there. It is nothing short of hilarious reading your regurgitation of the ABC's America/Wealth/Catholic/White/Heterosexual hating propaganda. I do not love America but I obviously know a lot more about the place than a lot of you do. You believe the utter garbage the media present ? Go overseas and look back over your shoulder at how we look to everyone else on the planet. OUR government, OUR tourists, OUR extremists, OUR businesses. Understand their health system before you slag it off. Understand their motivation for their politics before you slag it off. Understand the cultural variations across the country before you lump them all in together. Are they perfect ? No. Are we ?? f no. They do things differently to us, some are better some worse mostly they are just different, as different as the French or the Norwegians. Educating yourselves does not mean watching fing TV docos or reading opinions on SM. Last edited by guzzis3; 03-05-2020 at 06:05 PM. |

But it reads like the same thing being said for the past few weeks but in a different way. I find it amazing how they can have all this intel, yet didn't know there was a virus that was human transmittable.

What’s up with Sweden (did I hear you ask).
Depending on who you ask, they are either fools or they’re prepared to look death in the eye (alcohol is optional)! The truth seems to be... There is no provision in the Swedish constitution that allows the imposition of a state of emergency during peacetime crisis. There are, however, provisions to do so if there is a war. As coronavirus is a health crisis and is not literally a war, Sweden cannot impose a state of emergency. https://www.foreigner.fi/articulo/co...308005498.html |

China is rightfully ****ed off about an investigation some might say, because the US and AUS aren't interested in looking in their own back yard as to the origin of this virus.

Correct. They couldn't even keep the censoring of doctors in the initial outbreak under wraps. Word got out immediately. Furthermore, they released the doctors afterwards, which was a really strange move if you wanted to do a complete cover up? |
