Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Well, by looking at just numbers, it seems the US is faring the worst by far of keeping the spread of the virus in check. We may be the most powerful nation on the planet, but we really suck at following the simple procedures (quarantine-hand washing-distancing) required to get a hold of this thing. It's sad.

Which numbers? The ones the liberal news keeps quoting which is total cases? At first they compared the US to Italy saying that the total number of US cases had passed that of Italy by a couple of thousand without mentioning that the US has nearly 5.26 times as many citizens and 33 times the land mass. Italy compares closer to California. When viewed as a percent of population, the US ranks as one of the countries with the lowest infection rate.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

By looking at "just numbers" you may be fooled.
It's safe to assume that with China's population being 4 times larger than America's (and being crammed together in densely populated areas the way they are) that they should have AT LEAST double our numbers and maybe Up To 4 Times as many cases as the U.S. But as we know, the Chi-Comms have lied to the world and their inaction and cover-ups have devastated the global community.

You also have to look for that "selective journalism" from the MSM.
For Example: Take these two CNN stories, one says that "We have the highest number of deaths in the world", the other article States "U.S. doing far fewer tests than any other country".
Let's take a look at these....

Why the US has the world's highest number of Covid-19 deaths - CNN
The US now has the world's highest number of deaths from Covid-19, with at least 21,692 losing their lives to the virus as of Sunday afternoon. Americans will continue to die in large numbers until our country mounts a coherent response to the epidemic. President Donald Trump has failed. The US still lacks even a basic plan for controlling the epidemic and restarting the economy. - Notice that they use "actual number of deaths" to give the appearance that it is deadlier here in America than anywhere else in the world.

Now the "flip-side":
Trump says more than 2 million coronavirus tests have been done in the US, and claims mass testing not needed - CNNPolitics
The President has been celebrating the growing number of coronavirus tests conducted in the US as a victory since the US surpassed South Korea last month as the country with the highest number of tests administered. However, compared to South Korea, the US has conducted far fewer tests per capita given the US population is more than six times larger than South Korea's. - Notice that they use "Per capita numbers" in this article to make it seem like the U.S. is lagging behind the rest of the world in testing.


So, if we use "per capita" for number of deaths, Guess What!?!? We no longer have the "highest number of deaths from covid".......weird huh?
If we use "Actual Number of tests"..........Guess What..!? Holy Shit, now we have the "highest number of tests conducted in the world". Weird Right?
Also, notice their Dislike for Our President in each article.

The media has been a HUUUUUGE problem when it comes to misinformation, and fear-mongering, and outright lies.

How do you consider any of this "mis-information"? It is all true, just because they use different metrics doesn't make it untrue. They are, after all two different stories. And, they aren't opinion pieces, they are news. You really seem to get these two things mixed up.

When the kids ( an just as important the politicians) get hungry enough, we'll we able to point out in the fields and say "there is your food go get your hands dirty and collect it". While your out in the feild ,prepare the soil for next years crop.

If ever I was forced into politics I would make ALL farming and food production machines and storage %99 free and paid for by government coffers. Tractors and plows will be serviced and fuelled by 99% gov't subsidy. They would be replaced every 5 years by new equipment unconditional. If the farmer is registered as essential food production and the property is of a food production size then everything would be %99 free... Cheap farming means cheap food at the supermarket. Society would have one of its basic requirements fullfilled. The next is clean water.

At least three portable COVID-19 testing kits are now approved with production ramping up as fast as possible.

Health Canada approves Spartan Bioscience's portable COVID-19 test - BNN Bloomberg

Canada's chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, said the hand-held DNA analyzer from Ottawa's Spartan Bioscience will offer rapid test results for health services in rural and remote areas that otherwise must send their samples to laboratories in larger centres.

Dubbed the Spartan Cube and about the size of a coffee cup, results can be had in less than an hour and do not require the specialized expertise and equipment of a large lab.

The need for greater testing is widely acknowledged as key to understanding the true scope of COVID-19 infection in and how best to deploy suppression strategies.

Spartan's competitors include the Chicago-based Abbott, which produces a toaster-sized rapid testing kit that promises a positive result in just five minutes, and a negative result in 13 minutes. The Abbott kit uses a different chemistry called isothermal amplification.

Then there's the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based molecular diagnostics company Cepheid, which makes a device that can produce results in about 45 minutes.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given each device emergency authorization for use south of the border but they have not been FDA cleared or approved.

More than 100 South Koreans who fully recovered from coronavirus have tested positive for a second time, as the country eyes an easing of social-distancing rules, officials said.

The killer virus has “reactivated” in a total 116 patients, with 48 of them in the nation’s coronavirus epicenter of Daegu

Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the virus may have been reactivated after remaining dormant in the patients, as opposed to them being reinfected.

If we only had someone from the US in China CDC to monitor and report back at that time! Right Trump Administration fired that person!

hahaha get real
What good would that have done as China was removing the research from the Chinese websites and informing those doctors that it would be best for them to remain silent.
