All roads into Gallup, New Mexico, are closed over "uninhibited" COVID-19 spread [invokes Riot Control Act]

Those are death certificates issued by local governments and recorded by the CDC. If you go back about 10 days, we had about 37k reported deaths.

I know it's hard for freepers to do, but if you go to the site, it explains the data.

again, thx for the post. i knew we were in trouble when people started claiming that everyone in a room with someone who tested positive must immediately self isolate. even politicians were doing it. that was worse case thinking at it’s most ignorant.

how could they have these large number model predictions without competent testing in place everywhere?

how could this disease be so infective (with ROs estimated as 5 or 6 when simple calculations and assumptions give an RO more like 1.1 or 1.2, given the hard numbers on cruise and military ships and the existing time frame of maybe 40 days).

how come hospitals, ER doctors, isolation rooms, regular rooms were basically empty given the projections by experts.

how come the early real testing numbers (reference labs) were coming back with just >10% of serious respiration patients being positive covid19 and then just a small fraction of those (like maybe 5% being seriously ill from it), and yet this was being touted as the new plague.

and how come 10,000 or so lab and hospital health workers could be tested with only a handful of covid19 positives and even fewer with no symptoms—with them logically being the most at risk population for infection, especially with them running unprotected early in the outbreak, but yet we’re told its rampant everywhere else in the general population.

and yet these fake “science expert” stories and alarming anecdotal death at home alone stories kept coming. and of course the spectre and chimera of nyc and their politicians always egging on the fear. but even in ny there were articles in the small press detailing that outbreaks in nyc were very specific to nursing homes and caregivers and service workers in queens, elmhurst, flushing, etc.

and how about real doctors and nurses being furloughed and laid off despite the dire warnings we must flatten the curve to prevent the medical system from being overwhelmed. even in nyc the hospitals were not overwhelmed. they hardly used the hospital ship Trump sent.

and how can the numbers be so different from place to place given fairly clean data from ca reference labs and hospitals in general. the numbers jibe in most places. but the outliers like italy and nyc determine expert modeling and policy?

and on and on. it’s pretty clear to me that this should have been handled at voluntarily at the individual level for precautions against community spread, and at the business/county level in terms of gov’t health policy to mitigate against the spread of the virus.

Is there any part of what D'Souza said that isn't true?

Yea. The part where he called them warriors and not cowards. Warriors declare themselves and fight for their cause. What moslem cowards do is hid in the shadows and kill innocent, unarmed civilians. Women and children. Non-combatants.

That's not a warrior. That's a coward. Being a suicidal coward does not make a warrior.

So, yea. He is totally wrong to think that. No question.

It does not take away from anything else he might say. And it certainly doesn't have anything to do with the fake rona death numbers.

“Catholic, as a matter of fact”

Really? I didn’t know that.

[Mrs. Don-o]

That’s a very important point: you have to distinguish between what IS courage and what isn’t. Or distinguish between different users of the word.

It might be fairer to say that some death-defying jihadists do not lack physical courage (a willingness to bear danger, physical duress and even torture and their painful demise) but lack the far more important moral courage.

A man might brush off physical danger just because he’s drunk and stupid, after all.

And it’s always a moral crime to attack unarmed, unaggressive civilians.

I suppose that if we had been in this interview and has brought up these points, D’Souza would have agreed with us. Just a guess. He does have a Christian value system, not a jihadist one.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Parents Catholic, and he was raised and educated Catholic. He also wrote a couple of books from Catholic POV. Now he’s divorced and remarried and I think in recent years he and his 2nd wife have been attending an Evangelical church.

Gallup Mayor asked for and got a 3 day extension of the 'riot closure'. What a waste of governance.

“NEVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT AGAIN“

Actually, if they continue their control over we the people, their hope is there will never be a need to vote again.

If you look at the head of the “Covid 19 Deaths” column, you’ll notice a tiny number 1 next to (U07.1)

What you find out about (U07.1) is that it reports deaths that are “virus identified” by lab testing.

But the CDC also uses another “Covid 19 Deaths” number, one called (U07.2). The (U07.2) number is “virus not identified” because lab confirmation isn’t available.

And not surprisingly the (U07.2) Covid 19 Deaths number is larger for the very same time period.

So you need to pay attention to which version of the CDC Covid Deaths you are looking at.

I suspect that someone named Dinesh didn’t bother to find out why there is a footnote.

[Pelham]

Plus he's a fag.

Heresy!

[Pelham]

“Somebody at the CDC is going to get in trouble over this.”

Nope. People should learn to read footnotes.

I think Elton is the woman in that relationship.

I think Elton is the woman in that relationship.

How can this be? There has only ever been one Knight who was a woman.
