Should CNN Be Taken Off the Air For Both Public Health and Fake News/Foreign Propaganda Reasons?
Fake news and manufactured panic are infectious diseases too.

Why are reporters saying “wow” and then cherry-picking quotes in the time of crisis?
— Joe Gabriel Simonson (@SaysSimonson) March 16, 2020
The worst part of this is that the actual author of the piece makes it clear what trump meant. So you have his colleague deliberately inciting panichttps://t.co/HQ3cCTTgTD https://t.co/3tWSixTv4v
— Joe Gabriel Simonson (@SaysSimonson) March 16, 2020
This is just unacceptable, I’m sorry. We’re at the equivalent of full scale war and reporters need to be trusted. Worse, if they are trusted, they can’t be abusing that privilege.
— Joe Gabriel Simonson (@SaysSimonson) March 16, 2020

Steve then showed the coronavirus.gov url on the screen and said that this is what they are not showing you. They are not reporting the news people need. A real news org would publish this far and wide every single day all day.
coronavirus.gov is what the team keeps directing people to go to for help and in answering your questions and concerns
It is a one stop shop and it is growing information.
I watched as the bint was screaming all concerned and shrieking her "concerns" and hate and then, just like that, no facial expressions as she just looked down to her notes for what to cover next. It is all an act. All of it.

This would be a WWII level effort. Seems like insanity to me, but that's what they're doing.

I watched a film from back during the War that shows you what kind of power you can bring to bear when you have industry - and what you *can't* do when you don't.
An outfit in Detroit (one of the smaller car companies, Studebaker, maybe) got a contract to turn out cannon. They needed a facility to do it.
They threw up a building. Then they went out back to examine the obsolete machines that were stored behind the main factory to determine what they could reclaim and refurbish to repurpose into making cannon. They were turning them out within a couple of months.
Flash forward to today. Not only are the tools not there anymore, you won't even finish the environmental impact statement on the new factory inside of a year.

Speaking of cranking out hospitals. Another Brit (panicked level) plan I was reading about:
Deploy the Army to set up field hospitals to handle any surge level problem. Basically, MASHes, in tents.
And they have plans to deploy the army to guard hospitals and food supplies.
I'm sure we've got plans like this of our own.

- Agency focuses on identified need
- Agency expands scope/mandate
- New scope crowds out original scope

Thought about calling my pulmonologist for a recommendation, but figure he's busy with more important stuff. We just had one of the field techs, with a new baby, go to doing maintenance work rather than installs and trouble tickets. And there are no known cases in that area, but there are a lot of folks that travel internationally. I just hate the complications.

Infuriates me, and really makes me reconsider my usual attitude to Chicago politics. Many years of people telling me I was a conspiracy nut, or whatever epithet was handy, kinda informs me that I was probably right. My conspiratorial take is that Xfinity has been playing games with signals (and btw that is the reason why I did not support the transfer to digital -- too easy to interfere).
So out of 'channel not found' which I ignore, all of a sudden the miraculous appearance of the Cook County group makes me a little suspicious.

Not true according to Bolton. As part of the bloated NSC cutbacks which everyone here supported some staff was cut but they didn't stop monitoring pandemics which is what the media wants everyone to think.

That's one of the things that needs to change after this debacle.
The CDC's one job was supposed to be addressing disease epidemics. They've had billions of tax dollars thrown at them, and instead of doing their one job, they've wasted enormous amounts of money and other resources on bullshit "social justice" crap like gun control and obesity and playground equipment.
Congress needs to get off its collective ass and re-write the enabling law to force the CDC to do the one damn job it was created to do -- and nothing else.

My God, this is ridiculous.
Boss is going to be 79 next month. He's pretty much not going to come into the office for the next week or so, which is fine because we can email stuff and we can call him. Co-worker has health challenges as well so we decided that I'll be the point person for dealing with the public.
I've pretty much talked Mommy and Dad into not going to large gatherings and we're fighting about letting me do the shopping for them.
But all of this is INSANE.
Down here they just continued all court dates for a month. City Hall is more or less closed except for emergencies.
I just read that Mittens wants to send everyone in the US a grand.

If that office still existed, very unlikely that it would be anything more than one more guy at the twice-daily staff meetings. The substantive input would come from CDC and HHS anyway, as it did when the office existed.
Only public bits of evidence we have so far are that Trump moved *faster* than CDC wanted on certain aspects, including the biggie, barring admissions from China. What would the "pandemic office" have done to change anything?
NSC was not intended to replicate the entire national security agency infrastructure - but of course over the years it started to. O'Brien's taking a machete to it now, long over-due. Bolton most likely made a sound move in abolishing it.

But anyway, I asked them about corona. THey're all just as gobsmacked by all the panic as we are. Said the're no cases around here in their sphere of influence they know about, nothing that would warrant the panic we're seeing.
They said the only problem they're having is blithering idiots coming in (to the ER!) who think they have corona and are demanding to be tested. THey have the sniffles (or even fake the sniffles) and think they have corona.

Back in my software engineering days, I used to explain to customers whose business was a mismatch with our functionality that the sales people were like somebody who just sold cars to someone needing planets -- they'd triumphantly return to we engineers and, after we complained that our software didn't do what the customer needed, say "You can just slap some wings on that baby and make it fly!"

That's already happened in Savannah. The elderly are absolutely terrified to leave their homes.
We had thirty members in attendance Sunday, and will offer live-streaming only beginning this weekend.
And Savannah and Chatham County don't have a single case of the virus.
Posted by: Jane D'oh at March 16, 2020 02:35 PM (ptqGC)
We have I think 6 cases in our county.
Our church has three morning services and all but one were cancelled on Sunday. That was livestreamed but our church has been livestreaming for years.
I was a bad daughter and told Mommy and Dad that, no, I was not coming to their house at 9:00 a.m. to set up everything so they could see the 9:15 a.m. streaming service.
Am awful.

It's perfect.
If people go into severe respiratory distress, which is somewhat likely for elderly cases, they need ventilators. Ventilators are scarce because most hospitalizations won't require them. If we run out (e.g., they're all in use), then people will die waiting for care. There is also little that can be done short-term about it, which makes it a nice cudgel they can use for a while.

"Optics" are part of the job, handling them, that is.
The "press" says something stupid, distorts something, you respond with 1,000 times the force and energy, and you don't relent. You lay out the actual facts, and aggressively attack them to respond to *your* explanation.
Of course this is rarely done - even by this administration - but it's 100% the fault of the target, not the idiot press, for whom this is now SOP.
The collapse of public information and literacy in the country is partly the fault of the adults who for decades have simply refused to do the work to debunk, educate, and demonize. "Enemy of the people" and "fake news" mostly only entertains the already-sentient. Detailed dismantling of lies and distortion take some work, but so do all things worthwhile.

At one place the guys came up with this product for us to design and the sales guy goes "WE CAN DO THAT!!" Then he remembers we are there and turns to us and says "Can't we?" Both of us shake our heads and say NO.

I've pretty much talked Mommy and Dad into not going to large gatherings and we're fighting about letting me do the shopping for them.

IKR. They throw out a statement regarding 50 people congregating (Which I understand from the perspective of what will help reduce the spread. But why 50? Why not 25? Or 5 for that matter) and the economy takes a massive hit and people's lives are disrupted to an incalculable degree. They don't consider the long term economic trade off for the American people. And they are not answerable to the public. Heck, why don't they come out at the beginning of every flu season and recommend limiting groups of 50 or more? I mean, if it's for our health. Ugh!

Its pretty likely that people WILL see the light from this, to one
degree or another. They'll likely see that the media blew this up
ridiculously, that Trump handled it well, and we all were taking for a

Except this time, it played better than usual because are terrified of outbreaks and they didn't do anything to mediate their tone or take stock of what they were doing.

Yes. That is what kills the elderly and those with emphysema, etc. Their lungs are weakened from either disease or age and then can't clear fluid etc. that builds up from the virus.
Every hospital professional I've heard interviewed has been concerned about the media driven panic causing people to come to the ER for colds. Or they just want to be tested. They have to take the same kind of time with these people they would with those presenting with possible covid 19 infections that are producing serious symptoms. ER nurse on David Webb this morning said that the only way to do this community testing is the off site testing locations. She also said that the media screaming we are behind on testing is idiotic. building ACCURATE tests takes some time , you can't just make one up when we didn't have samples of virus early on. She also said mass testing was stupid, it was wasteful of resources and labor, and could produce false information. Only those presenting with criteria should be tested.

Runs on banks have already started. They generally keep this very quiet (Depression experience). How they keep the media from running with it, I don't know.
But the Daily Mail mention that there are panic cash withdrawals, and some NYC banks were running out of $100 bills.
The Fed is probably quietly having to get cash to banks all over the country. Remember the theoretical "helicopter money" which was the genesis of Helicopter Ben Bernanke's nickname.
Well, the Fed literally ships cash in via helicopter to staging areas to get it to banks.
And they keep it all quiet. Very quiet.

2017 H2N3 (we didnt even bother to give it a name) was 810,000 hospitalizations and 80,000 flu deaths. That shit knocked me on my ass for 2 weeks. Nary a headline. And THAT was during the Trump admin.

The only value to widespread testing is in the very initial phase to identify the spreaders followed by surveillance tracking to see where they've been and who they have come into contact with. The CDC botched this part, refused the help of the UW Flu project which already had collected test swabs for their project that could also be tested for COV19. In addition, the CDC's tracking methodology is obsolete compared with S Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and China. The downside is that using computer tracking of infected people and knowing where they were would give a lot of people here the heebie jeebies even though Google does it if you have Android.
The Flu Project on their own, tested samples and found one from a teenage boy that tested positive in Early Feb. They told the CDC what they found and the CDC/FDA had a conniption about patient privacy and consent, they stopped them from more tests as the Wash. outbreak worsened. Awful story.

Early study of the Wuhan virus consisted of studying infection patterns verified by genetic sequencing of how one guy infected 13 out of 34 on a 4 hr bus ride. All buses there have surveillance video systems and they tracked the cell phones, etc. Not one rider wearing a mask was infected. Those folks went through the whole SARS epidemic and face bad flu seasons--they wear masks as a matter of course.

or essential business. Also, the asked people were masks while out in
public. Really wondering why that last step isn't being talked about
here? Still waiting for supply to catch up?
Antifa lobbying to keep people from stealing their shtick?

It was sarcasm. Just a little bit too subtle I guess.

There is a big dispute about the primary mechanism for spread of this virus with the majority siding with primarily by nose and mouth, with a minority holding out for contaminated surfaces that is then transferred to the face and breathed in. Covid 19 Contamination is also likely from fecal and urine discharge in public bathrooms and within families with no washing of hands afterwards..

The problem is that these governors shutting down (or severely restricting service) bars and restaurants is going to put the hurt to a bunch of folks that probably don't have a lot of cash reserves. Not to mention f*cking the business owners.
It seems like the only two people not interested in causing panic are President Trump and Vice President Pence. Public Health officials (like Fauci and the Ohio c*nt) are doing the opposite with their talk of how bad it could be. The Ohio c*nt implied that there were 100,000 Wuhan Flu infected people in Ohio alone!. There have been less 30,000 confirmed cases in Italy compared to the half-dozen or so in Ohio. What in irresponsible b!tch.
