Not the Babylon Bee: "Baltimore Mayor Begs Residents To Stop Shooting Each Other So Hospital Beds Can Be Used For Coronavirus Patients"
Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence.Maybe they can put up signs declaring that Baltimore is a Murder Free Zone, and that any and all murders must take place at least 1000 yards outside the city limits.

I would expect them to have a higher percentage of people who prepared early.
And if you need anything, J61, let me know. I will keep an eye out locally and can grab something if needed.

Seriously though, if you are a heroin, meth, or even alcohol addict, these cities are going to be even worse hellholes than before.
Think of all the pimps and ho's, not able to ply their trade. Think of the dealers... man, they must be really hurting for cash these days, what with all the shelter in place going on.

The reason people are buying water is that the government was lazy in revising its guidelines for what to buy in an emergency--people googled it and they used a generic list, more or less. It has water as one of the required items.

"For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we're not going to tolerate it," Young implored. "We're going to come after you and we're going to get you."
So, apparently, shooting and killing up 'til now has been fine. It's the continued shooting and killing that's just beyond the pale.

They assume that their target audience processes abstract thoughts and concepts?
The same amoral government that has zero problems crashing the economy, nationalizing whole industries, a throwing the planet into global Communism and on the trajectory to Venezuela for all but the Elites - wants criminals and psychopaths to be of higher character than the politicians that triggered this Greatest Hoax?
And this on top of the great lies they expect us to accept while they comprehensively destroy our lives.

This is a good chance to get of more of them.
They would have to have a SS number, I assume if this is all being channeled through the IRS. You must be a citizen or legal resident with ID.

On the plus side, people in those areas have a much, much lower chance of contracting the virus, because of the limited contact with others. (Excepting unique outliers like the Aspen area, where a lot of people from outside the country show up and bring weird stuff with them)

Bethesda Hospital in Saint Paul, a 90 bed hospital is emptying out and will be a Chinese Coronavirus only hospital. Just coincidentally, a few months ago, they submitted a license change proposal to make it a 50 bed hospital instead of a 90 beed hospital.
Want to bet it gets closed down after this is all over. "There were too many dead patients in the last year, and the hospital has a bad reputation."
This does make sense though. Keep all the contagious patients away from the people with broken bones and heart attacks .

You need to check yourself.
In 2006 an above-average flu season closed all the local hospitals.
Closed. Zero beds. Go somewhere else.
Your "logic" is exactly what leads to 1918-style mass die-offs.
You're so certain, so positive that it won't be that bad because God or CNN or someone has a slide show saying it's overblown.
Until it isn't.
No one has any idea where this is going, so the smart play is to take it as seriously as possible. If you don't do that up front, it's millions of dead.
I'm sorry about your inconvenience but the downside risk is literally a mass die off.
Markets can recover.
People can get new jobs.
Death is permanent.

________________
There's an optimistic article on Powerline, about a Nobel Prize-winning chemist who predicts the contagion will be gone in China by the end of March (based on the numbers he is plotting there and elsewhere).
He also says that there is good evidence that the majority of the world's population already has a natural immunity to the virus. In Wuhan, most of the population was probably exposed to the virus, but only 3% got sick. On the Diamond Princess cruise ship, everybody on board was exposed to it, but only 20% were infected. So the majority of people are not going to get infected, even if an infected person sneezes in their face.
Also read earlier this morning that a new test for the virus has been developed that gives results in 1/2 hour, and does not give a lot of false positives. And Fuji, the Japanese camera company, has a subsidiary that has developed a drug that is showing effectiveness in treating people sick with the virus. And of course yesterday several sources reported that some anti-viral drugs used to treat malaria and HIV have been effective in lessening the severity of symptoms of corona virus patients.
So there is good news out there. The media likes to keep people focused on the gloom and doom and worst-case scenarios, but there is good reason to believe that we are getting a handle on this, and the worst case is not going to happen.
Keep the faith. This will get better.

I can accept the Enemedia siding with China and blaming dark US forces that started this thing and framed China.
We just saw something just like that through the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.
Let say that Hitlerly won in 2016. This engineered flu would have been the catalyst for the exact same thing that is happening today.
The difference between Trump and Hillary in this bold and deliberate execution of Cloward & Piven is that the gun owners in this country trust Trump and will allow Kudlow and others to nationalize whole industries in greater scope than the hostile takeover of Health Care by the Leftists.
GM was a test case. The Climate Change Hoax was a test case to see if people would believe any outrageous lie that require the population to live like paupers and serfs.
We proved that there is no atrocity that we would oppose. So they took the word "Climate Change". replaced it with "Coronavirus", telescoped the Doomsday calendar from years to days and prescribe the same remedy - bow down and worship the State.
This past two weeks we proved the theory that if gun owners trust a particular leader, then the US finally can be taken down and reduced to a New Soviet without a single shot fired.

This is what people whining about the closings don't understand.
We are buying precious time to get organized. If it's as bad as billed, we will need everything we can get.
If it turns out to be mild, then the markets and economy will quickly bounce back and we will have strengthened our health system AND started decoupling from China.
I'm kind of mystified. Are people actually saying that we *need* 500,000 dead to make this somehow "worthwhile?"

Using the H1N1 outbreak as an analogue.
We would need to see 5,066,666.67 infections, 22,775.33 hospitalizations and 1,039.08 deaths per month of the Mexican Beer virus to be on parity.
People like to throw out to critics, "you don't understand exponential growth man."
Well, H1N1 was exponentially worse than Mexican Beer Virus is.

Illegal aliens file tax returns (so they can get the "tax credits" which are thinly-disguised welfare payments) by using an ITIN -- an individual taxpayer identification number. These are used by illegal aliens in place of SS numbers, and the IRS accepts that, knowing that many of these filers are illegal aliens working illegally in the U.S. The IRS issues ITIN's to anybody who asks for one -- no proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residence is required to get one.

we don't have all data, but one flaw in that is that many get mild cases never noticed ... many don't seem susceptible at all. So once it runs its course through an area ... it starts to level off ... that might be when only 10% have been infected and only 10% of those get sick enough to get tested. And only 10% of those go to the hospital ...
Places like S Korea ... the curve already dropped off, fewer are being infected ... not sure just what point that is, but we may be close to it ... or may reach it well before the millions start doubling ...
also every country has a different curve shape based on cleanliness/smoking/obesity ... and the curve can be flattened, and total infected can be made much less with various changes in action, better treatments, more educated society, "social distancing" etc.

As a kid I hated the little floating squigglies in the "unfrozen" milk. Like the milk had curdled some in the freezer. It was gross.

Vancouver, B.C. used to have a 100% gravity-feed water system. Water was impounded on the upper reaches of the Capilano River behind Cleveland Dam, above the highest level of inhabited development. The entire watershed is a restricted-entry area.

Right back at you.
What are "acceptable losses" for a high stock market.
I guess 12,000 dead seems to be the benchmark these days.
That's what everyone is saying.
"Well, we lost 12,000 to H1N1 by doing nothing, and that was okay."
Can we go higher? Maybe double that?
How do we pick them?
Oh, and how do we ensure that we don't go over the agreed amount? If we hit 48,000 can we call off the experiment?

Ten days ago the doubling time in Italy was about 2.5 days. The last three days the rate has calculated at over 5 days. The rate of increase declines over time beyond a peak during the upward steep phase. US doubling time is about 2.5 days now (in the face of wider testing of lesser cases).

I remember the crazy around H1N1. Was returning home and had Dr Dean Edell on the radio yammering about how Tamilfu was this great fix for H1N1, but like we are lacking bedspace and ventilators today, they were rationing out Tamiflu. Only the rich and the connected could get it. (which I suppose will be how it plays out today with COVID-19).
So Edell was talking about how H1N1 was allegedly mutating and "evolving" and his solution to how to ration Tamiflu was this - and somehow he managed to keep his job on the radio: "Since Christians don't believe in Evolution, and H1N1 is evolving, these anti-science Christians should be denied Tamiflu so that others can receive it."
It was OK to discriminate then on ideology, it will be same if this thing goes sideways.

I accept deaths from viral outbreaks.
Because viral outbreaks happen all the time.
The last major one had 12 thousand, and literally no one blinked an eye at them.
Did you suffer bouts of anguish at the 12k deaths of H1N1 in 2009?
No, you did not.
Nobody except those directly connected with them even noticed their passing.
Now I would accept a proportional response to the viral outbreak but what we are seeing is so disproportionate it's akin to using a nuclear bomb to take out an anthill.

I'm not. My experience with epidemiology is limited: defending pharma company products in litigation, which involved parsing a fair amount of expert testimony on epidemiology and studies.
But I'm also not among those relying on jargon and stating that anyone who disagrees with me doesn't understand math or epidemiology.
I don't understand why people cannot admit that they are making best guesses based on very limited data and assumptions, rather than meticulous models and calculations.

I know someone from Wuhan. She told me horror stories of what was happening there in January. She was frantically trying to send supplies to her family. She
said the Chinese government was lying and covering up how bad it was. Wuhan is a
transport hub and people travel through it to all over the country which
is why it spread so fast. The last time I talked to her she said Hubei
is still under a pretty strict lock down but outside of there from what
she hears it's returning to normal. It didn't sound as bad as it was 2 months ago. But she's just relaying what's she's hearing from family and friends there

That's always how the military works.
Same with wars as well as with the National Guard. My soon-to-be nephew was on the Comfort for 6 months and is in Norfolk now, he's going to Lejune in July except he'll be going to NY because the Comfort must be staffed. So instead of pushing paper or whatever he's doing now, he'll be back on the Comfort.

I still plan to get solar panels while there is ~25% rebate this year. They closed down our coal plant ... still should be plenty of power, but never know when so IL goon will start forcing rolling blackouts, just to preen for his fellow leftists. And then there are the crazy times like this ... unexpected intrusions. (some grid connected panels are useless when grid is down, but some can deliver at least 2000Watts ... during the day ... enough to do a lot) Self reliance ... they are forcing it on us

I had an econ professor that enjoyed talking about his experiences being an expert witness. A lawyer would consult him for a case and he would respond with "tell what side you want to argue, and I'll make you a model to support it".
It's pretty simple to massage the numbers, emphasize certain things, downplay or outright ignore others and arrive at exactly the result you wanted. Hell, it's an obvious structural flaw in areas like environmental science now.
This is why I will always default to a skeptical view of all "scientific" claims even coming from supposed experts.
