85? That’s generous.

More like dead at 83 in December instead of dead at 83 in May.

That’s the level of life preservation we’ve achieved here at best (srs)

94% of these deaths were from people already well on the way out. They were bought a few extra months at most.


Not trying to sound insensitive but it’s absolutely ridiculous.

And yet..... 600,000 plus will die of cancer in the US this year and nobody will bat an eye.

8.5 Million people will die from something this year, but we will shut the country down for a virus that will effect less than 0.05 of the population.

Hes talking from an economics POV not nutrition. You have no reading comprehension and it shows.

And its called nutrient-dense food, YOU need to do your research.

Cancer is not infectious, thats the whole point in this corona thing

And the sad part is, it will stay that way as long as humans continue to be money hungry animals. The world is ran on lies and greed and the ones fortunate enough to understand that have an easier time dealing with situations like these.

Welcome to Socialism

More damage than we realize.

Having exact intended consequences.

Pick one.

The stock market is where it is because the market is expecting things to go back to normal. Any whiff of concern and the market drops like a rock. SPY has been mostly sideways this year after the big drop.

Its not about the coof and never was. Look at the results of lockdown and economic hardships coming down the pipe. You honestly believe that chit isn't engineered?

And countries are looking at more lockdowns. Just LOL @ this chit. People are going to lose their minds in large numbers.

Lots of job markets being affected as well. I've had lots of friends that have had to take minimum wage jobs just to survive because the gym industry has been tanked. I'm also a musician and basically anyone involved with live venue stuff is done. People having to take on two jobs to pay the bills. It wears you down.

2.8 million die from obesity each year too

Mhm, Mhm, I see...

Its what China wanted

no chit lot of people had to shut stuff down. it took you until sep to come to this realization ? the sky is blue

I think this pretty much sums it up.

I went to Costco today, and cheese was way up in price. It was $16.99 for four or five pounds of shredded cheese. I bought a two pound block for $6.99

Edit: Before lockdown, I could get a five pound block of cheese at Costco for less than ten dollars.

Trump admitted he "up-played" the virus so you can thank him for all the panic

It was the panicels that thought this would be over in weeks.

Fuk my MIL thought everything would be back to normal by now. LOL.

A lot of us were saying this from early on. That's why I believe there is something sinister behind all of this. This entire event is bizarre and the reaction thereafter is completely irrational. There is fukkery afoot.

Alot of bankruptcies coming. Economy is ****ed.

50%+ cash in stock trading account crew

It won't change until countries are issuing bonds @10%. Then the fuking politicians will wake up.

Comon guys if we all wear masks we’ll flatten the curve and then the economy will recover. Just 2 more weeks

ahaha boom you ROASTED me! Gonna go wipe my tears with my dietetics and food science degree

Edit: Ya youre actually right though, I look like **** in avi. 2 months travelling will do that

You’re a fukin idiot.

Facts First:

Obama’s White House National Security Council left the Trump administration a detailed document on how to respond to a pandemic. The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, is called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.

“We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook…. ******that they ignored******,” Ronald Klain, a campaign adviser to Democratic candidate Joe Biden and the former Obama administration Ebola response coordinator, wrote on Twitter.

The playbook — 40 pages plus appendices — contains *******step-by-step advice****** on questions to ask, decisions to make, and which federal agencies are responsible for what. It includes sample documents that officials could use for inter-agency meetings. And it explicitly lists novel coronaviruses as one of the kinds of pathogens that could require a major response.

The color-coded, checklist-style document addresses issues like testing, funding, personal protective equipment, emergency declarations, border control measures, diplomacy, the use of the military, public communication, even mortuary services.

It lays out dozens of key questions to ask at certain stages of the response (“Should there be arrangements for medevac or in-country clinical care advisory for U.S. Persons?” “What is the robustness of contact tracing?” “Is the incident likely to impact housing such that alternative housing needs may become necessary?”) and dozens of key decisions to make (“Determine whether to implement screening and monitoring measures, or other travel measures within the US or globally”; “Prioritization and allocation of resources subject to the Defense Production Act”; “Tailor waste management plans to incident specific conditions”).

“While each emerging infectious disease threat will present itself in a unique way, a consistent, capabilities-based approach to addressing these threats will allow for faster decisions with more targeted expert subject matter input from federal departments and agencies,” the document says.

There are certainly valid criticisms of Obama’s pandemic preparations, and it’s possible to argue that the playbook was inadequate for the current pandemic. A current NSC official, whom Politico quoted anonymously, described the 2016 document as “quite dated.” It’s not clear who in the Trump administration saw the 69-page playbook.

Still, it’s clearly untrue that Obama left no “game plan” at all.

In addition to the playbook, outgoing senior Obama officials also led an in-person pandemic response exercise for senior incoming Trump officials in January 2017 — as required by a new law on improving presidential transitions that Obama signed in 2016. Politico reported this March that the meeting, attended by current Trump Cabinet officials including Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, addressed how to deal with a hypothetical flu crisis, among other scenarios.

“The maddening thing is Obama left them a WH office for pandemics, a literal playbook, a cabinet-level exercise, and a global infrastructure to deal with ‘something like this,'” Ben Rhodes, who served as deputy national security adviser to Obama, said.

TFW you live in the capital of Clown World and your life has continued to be just as awesome as ever, in spite of everything that has happened srs

kinda smoky today though hehehe

What did Obama do during the 2008 pandemic?

Nothing. And he convinced the rest of the world to do nothing.

And that should've happened this time.

It’s never ending.

with a fuking vengeance
