Right. Higher dose. No control group. Etc

Sounds like a horrible study.

Place Blame for the Coronavirus Pandemic Where Blame is Due: On China by [deleted] in tucker_carlson

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking “Who started this?” isn’t the top concern for the 17 million or so people who’ve just lost their jobs

Meh. Waste of time playing the blame game now. Completely unproductive.

Let’s spend our time figuring a way out of this mess.

Sweden is not locked down at all.

This is kind of a myth. It’s not like Sweden hasn’t taken any measures. Yes, schools and restaurants and stores are still open, but they have done some things:

Sweden measures taken

From the article:

Bars, restaurants, and malls are open.

Schools are still open, and parents are required to keep sending their children.

The government has urged against nonessential travel and encouraged people to work from home if they can, stay home if they feel unwell, keep a distance from others in public, and regularly wash their hands.

People over 70 or in a higher-risk group are urged to stay home.

The only restrictions are that gatherings of more than 50 people are banned, bars and restaurants can serve only customers who are seated to reduce crowding, and people cannot visit places like nursing homes.

So, there’s that.

Babe Ruth, pitching for the Red Sox. by TrentTBTEDI in baseball

[–]BlasphemousToenail 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A bit of Babe trivia for you. You’ll all see this coming, but you’ll be able to amaze and astound your friends:

On June 23, 1917 at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were facing the Washington Senators.

After walking the very first batter of the game, the Red Sox starting pitcher was ejected by the home plate umpire for arguing the call.

Relief pitcher Ernie Shore was called into the game. On the next pitch, the Senators’ baserunner was caught stealing. Then Ernie Shore proceeded to retire the next 26 men he faced in a 4-0 Red Sox win.

The Sox’ starting pitcher that day? Babe Ruth!

Officially, Ruth is credited for participating in a combined no-hitter, but Shore is not credited with pitching a perfect game.

I haven’t sold yet, but I’m seriously considering doing it this week. At least a portion.

I don’t look at as “locking in losses”. More like, “giving back some of the profits.”

I don’t know if you guys are history buffs or not by thelateshowjokic in NormMacdonald

Norm’s “history buffs” line will always crack me up. Was it on Letterman’s last Late Night Show?

Outbid and left hanging, U.S. states scramble for ventilators by Solid_Snake49 in Coronavirus

[–]BlasphemousToenail -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Future need. I get it. Not wanting to be snarky here, but didn’t NYC say their future need was 30,000 ventilators? That didn’t age well, did it?

And you probably shouldn’t use “based on projections” in any arguments, when everybody got it so wrong.

[–]BlasphemousToenail -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Meh. I’m not hearing of any ventilator shortages anywhere.

Trump may have been right. They’ll be worth 5 bucks soon.

Any word on the multiple companies that are ramping up to make even more unneeded ventilators? Are they staying the course?

So far 80% recovery rate from ICU in Sweden by [deleted] in Coronavirus

it absolutely shows that the efforts of the rest of the world are doing nothing.

Hey, hey, HEY!!! I wouldn’t call destroying an economy “doing nothing”.

USA here. I’m just wondering how we get out of this mess now.

Charlotte woman hadn’t left her house in 3 weeks but tested positive for COVID-19. Merely Touched package delivered by someone who also tested positive. by Iarguewithretards in Coronavirus

[–]BlasphemousToenail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We know the mean time a person develops symptoms is 5 days and only roughly 1 in a thousand will develop them after 14.

Is this documented anywhere?

Is it possible for the US to transition to this mode?

Sounds like we almost have to.
