1. Ground Rules for this Forum
2. General Coronavirus (COVID-19) Discussion (Non-Hockey Related) - Part 5

Welcome to the COVID-19 Forum. This is going to be an all consuming subject for some time. We think it deserves its own forum.
This forum is not limited to hockey-related talk.
You may critique the response of government but don't make it political.
Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.
Examples:
Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"
Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"
Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"
Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"

Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.

Be careful what you link to, treat it like the trade forum we don't want to spread bad information.
How you're preparing, how this is affecting your community, news and information are the types of discussion this forum is for.
Pardon our dust we're going to be working out the kinks on this, if you have any recommendations or ideas you can send them to me VIA conversation message.

I'll give some medical advice: don't drink the koolaid (bleach).

Cheerful note of the day, deaths are up 50% in the seven hardest hit states, 9,000 more deaths than reported in official COVID stats - so when calculating IFR, not only is the denominator much larger than confirmed cases, the numerator is also larger.

Good news, that stock is only up 4% from what I sold it at now.

I am a genius.

I just immediately ripped it to shreds as soon as I saw "The White House" at the top.

COVIDiocy:

"We are not mandating that passengers wear a mask however we strongly encourage travelers follow CDC guidance to wear a face covering when social distancing is difficult," United Airlines spokesperson Nicole Carriere told CNN. "By providing the masks, we're making it that much easier for them to do so."

So, you've got an enclosed space with recirculating air, but you're not going to require passengers to wear masks?
Guess they don't want to offend the 1st class passengers?

 

[Rebels57]

We will officially cross 60,000 deaths today, all in approximately 60 days.

No other country has surpassed 30,000 yet.

That airline really is the f***ing worst. Absolute trash people running it.

Ive been agreeing with most of your opinions on this matter, but this is TERRIBLY presumptive. I often fly first class just due to the sheer volume of flights I have to take for work and my subsequent flyer status. Meanwhile, I wear a mask when I'm outside for longer than it 5 minutes,including walks around the neighborhood.

Do you think any airline would hesitate to inconvenience coach passengers?
The same airlines that shrunk seats over the last two decades to the point that flying is torture for the peasants.
If they're not mandating it, it's because they're afraid it'll piss off the business class/1st class passengers.

That goober on his chin though.

How accurate is US COVID-19 death count? Some experts say off by 'tens of thousands'

Deaths are thought to be a lot more. Cardiac related

This is one of my favorite pictures of Tikaani. Off the top of my head I’m not sure exactly when it was taken, he was probably around 3 years old, give or take a year.

A very good portion of the 1st class passengers - or at least, of the flights ive been on - are people who are upgraded there. I won't speak for all airlines, of course, but most of the american flights im on have 1/2 - 3/4 of the 1st class seats available at the time I check in, meaning most of the people in those seats are getting them strictly because they have status, not because they are wealthy-to do ers.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but this notion that anyone who sits in first class is going to cause a stir as some right wing Coronavirus-is-a-political-hoax-give-me-my-freedomer is quite presumptive, that's all.

You're one of those snobs that throws a fit if they're not upgraded to first class aren't you.
