You're a tool.

Where I am, we were running out of masks for hospital workers before it even hit us. I assume they were diverted to NYC. A friend of mine works at a h...

Fix the problem, not the blame. Is that a Japanese saying? Somebody told me it was...

Thanks :up:

I think you'd have to be really neutral to see how Bloomberg's and Cuomo's attacks were aimed at political gain. You should expect that, though. You w...

It's going to squash them flat.

I dont think McConnell was directing the statement to people like you, who would dissect it logically.

:fire:

Instead of looking at raw numbers to gauge what's happening, go to worldometer and go to the right side of the graph. Look at serious cases and deaths...

He's just lobbing back the gratuitous attacks on the president and the GOP in general.

:up: Lately I keep coming back to the idea of an audience: the people it's for. Art is like that, even if you do it for yourself, there's an audience ...

This was documented in The Thing.

There was nothing. A silence too deep for death, white and blank "Void" said the mind. And it was a void. "Black" said the mind. And blackness descend...

Yep. It's supposed to be an optimistic prediction because it depends on social distancing.

We'll all stand in line to give him head (figuratively).

I'm random as hell. I understand if you dont want to answer.

I have to ask, does this whole thing make you wish you'd never been born? Or does it bring into focus how amazing life is, since you might soon be gon...

It wasn't human-to-human at first. A mutation appeared that is human-to-human. The mutated form also evades containment measures by means we dont yet ...

I think he's trying to foment anti-Asian sentiment. There probably will be some of that along with preachers claiming that God has abandoned us. We'll...

Yep. It will be doctors. Probably mostly pulmonologists. Or emergency medicine doctors.

For milder cases they'll set up in whatever vacant buildings they can find. There's also going to be a ventilator shortage, though. During the peak th...

For Americans: this study predicts the COVID-19 wave by state. The national peak is predicted on April 14 when the study projects a 49,292-hospital-be...

This thread points to some intractable misunderstanding about what's happening. It's the effect of the myth, I think.

Ok. But you defended us against the troll, so you're excellent.

By peeing in a Venitian canal?

And this guy!

Critically endangered animal shows up on Indian street during the lockdown., Venetian waterways became clear because there are no tourists... We shoul...

And this is your answer to my previous bolded question, I believe. I understand you, I think.

The basic idea of democracy is that the people rule. We have guardrails on that, like the Constitution, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. If a decisi...

The debt faucet has been on wide open since the Vietnam War. It would be astonishing if we decided that now is the time to turn it off. Trump might wa...

It's not clear that what we're doing is unreasonable. It's not clear that another path would be better. Changing canoes in midstream will definitely c...

Again, you're right. If large numbers of women in South Carolina don't want abortions going on in their communities, then I believe they shouldn't hav...

You're right. Voting for Biden to get RBG's seat would be standing for a principle in the face of defeat. I don't see why I should do that if large nu...

I think that decision was already made. The country elected Trump at a time when a justice seat was vacant. Voting for Biden now just to get RBG's sea...

They can travel to areas where abortion is legal. Or just move. True, some women will be caught in situation where abortion is unavailable and they ca...

The US has been trying to influence Russia and surrounding countries in the direction of democracy and openness. That's the interference that I condem...

There may be other ways we could have done this. We took the path that seemed smartest at the time. We can't change course now because the whole count...

I like Biden. I saw him on Stephen Colbert's show and he struck me as being a fundamentally decent guy. Plus he's a friend of Obama's and I had the sa...

I am in a swing state. On your behalf, I will vote for Trump. I just have to figure out how to do early voting because I'm not going to stand in line ...

For patients or healthcare workers?

I'm realizing that they don't have anything like a president over all of Europe. They don't understand what they're criticizing.

I'm so looking forward to this playing out in my backyard. Holy fuck.

So we're trying to make a big deal out of some weird comments made by the governor of Texas? That's not a productive use of your time.

Thanks for the info. It's awful.

The best ventilators in the world are made in Germany. I'm assuming they're trying to figure out how to ramp up.

So the world is going to stand around and let this happen to Italy? Wow.

Holy shit, that's horrendous. I assume they're just stacking them up in tents. Could NATO help?

Let the trolling troll on.

No hospital has promised to heal anyone. In the case of COVID-19, if your immune system doesn't heal you, you will die. All the hospital can do is sup...

Right. It's how triage has always worked. I had to do an exercise for some mandatory training once where I triaged 100 patients after a chemical facto...
