What Part Of Flattening The Curve Do You Not Understand?

AllTheirStoopidsAreNotGood
ForAnyoneVille


This just in from one of the Fox News most famous (former) SARS-CoV-2- hoaxtologists:



Gosh.

Perhaps someone should tell the good Ms. Ingraham that the longer it lasts the fewer people will actually, you know, die:


Sheesh.


________
The real point here....Get the garbage about this situation off the TeeVee and the Interwebz everywhere (including here)....It is only making a matter of literal life and death literally worse.
You want to know how the folks in charge, everywhere, should all be thinking?....Take a few minutes to listen to NY Governor Andrew Cuomo talk to the NYT's 'The Daily'.... Locally, in my opinion, Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix have demonstrated that they have the same mindset as Cuomo...However, they are proceeding calmly with clear directives to ensure that people do not panic, which is another key to getting through this thing...
Back with a musical interlude later....

Saw an ABC poll this morning that claimed 55% of Americans think Trump is doing a good job on the pandemic response. That percentage is pretty much in line with Fox News’ share of the cable news viewership.

Dangerous people are anchored there.

laura needs to be cut a bit of slack on this one, she hit send at 4.45 A.M.

I’m sure the obtuseness was an unintended consequence due to sleep deprivation after working night and day to ensure the American public were kept informed of the need to take every precaution for the benefit of all.

"A pair of automated testing machines at St. Paul’s Hospital usually used for HIV, hepatitis B and CMV testing have been re-purposed to analyzing testing swabs from patients who are suspected to be infected by COVID-19.

In a media release, St. Paul’s says the two Roche cobas 6800 machines were successfully converted on Saturday with the assistance of Roche Canada, the makers of the instruments. These are the first units in Canada to be re-purposed in this way. snip"

Putting 2020 into perspective, a comparison to 1862

The most terrible single calamity to befall the Indians of British Columbia was the smallpox epidemic which started in Victoria in 1862. Unique circumstances caused it to spread faster and farther than any previous outbreak could possibly have done, and within two years it had reached practically all parts of the Province, and killed about one-third of the native people.
