Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Widespread mask usage seems to be happening but zero social distancing. I don't think this is very smart of them and a rise in cases will likely occur. There you go.

 

They are busy complaining about Notre Dame storming the field still.

 

Sad comment on the TWIV Podcast today. While providing the weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin was discussing about how badly we may be under counting the number of daily infections. Apparently colleagues of his in places like Texas, and the Dakotas are telling him that people are coming to the doctors presenting with Covid symptoms and refusing to be tested because if they are positive "the government is going to take their freedom away". There are literally people that are too stupid for their own good in this country.

 

My wife was trying to convince me how amazing it was but agree with you on this one. I don’t like hypocrisy and this absolutely was. I’ll continue to defend the protests, a social justice movement has to happen in the moment. Protests can’t wait for the pandemic to end and still be impactful, but celebrating the election results? Yeah, I’m sure we’ll see more cases resulting from this.

 

Sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy. Has symptoms, won't get tested due to conspiracies, spreads virus getting more people sick causing closures. Saying I told you so!!

 

Atta boy, that was easy RIP

Applaud the mask-wearing, but they should be socially distancing as well, such as at Biden's acceptance speech. Very responsible of the president-elect to organize his rally in a safe, scientific method.

 

I think if you change “government” with “employer” this story may be much more believable. It doesn’t really even make sense.

I’m sure many are avoiding tests to keep their kids in school. It’s unfortunate, but many can’t afford to give up their income to stay at home with a healthy 8 yr old.

 

Pfizer reporting preliminary vaccine results overnight:

For those interested, DOW futures are now +1500 (were at about +250 when the Pfizer news came across the wire).

 

Results for Pfizer are 90% effective. Hope that's right.

Ben Carson has COVID.

 

another victim from the Trump events..hopefully he fares well. Seems like a brilliant man wit bad judge of character

 

Biden named his task force today. All are the nation's top doctors. Not a single Biden family member in sight.

 

Don't tell @coach about this he roundly criticized me for saying we would have an effective vaccine in the net few months....

 

Damn, did you see those crowds? Harris/biden already have blood on their hands and it's only been one day.

 

must be closet trumpers there to discredit biden, we all know liberals and democrats follow the guidelines.

 

so now he can deal with the outbreak from all the crowds, gee, not only republicans break the guidelines afterall.

 

No, but only a Republican president organizes events which break guidelines and encourages people to do so. Those presumed liberals need to practice what they preach re: social distancing, but they're also not the POTUS.
