Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

@3119967d0c Wait you're from Iran? Are you saying that instead of being helpful and translating and spreading good info, you're just shitposting?

I fucking love you now. (oh right you can't touch that... uhhh...)

Hobby Lobby isn't for geek hobby stuff; it's catady arts and crafts with dried flowers and yarn and shit. So actually if you have cats it might be the place for you.

That seems a bit unfair. Cat ladies are degenerate leftists whereas Hobby Lobby managed to set this remarkable legal precedent

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burwell_v._Hobby_Lobby_Stores,_Inc.

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S. 682 (2014), is a landmark decision[1][2] in United States corporate law by the United States Supreme Court allowing closely held for-profit corporations to be exempt from a regulation its owners religiously object to, if there is a less restrictive means of furthering the law's interest, according to the provisions of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). It is the first time that the court has recognized a for-profit corporation's claim of religious belief,[3] but it is limited to closely held corporations.[a] The decision does not address whether such corporations are protected by the free-exercise of religion clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Once the current system collapses, currently planned for late Q3/early Q4 2020 corporations like Hobby Lobby will step up to fill the gap. And if you want a name for the new order, look no further than Gilead Life Sciences if their promising Corona drug works out.

The Republic of Gilead just sounds catchier than the Republic of Hobby Lobby for some reason. Gilead will provide life-saving drugs, Hobby Lobby stuff for your needlework and Chick Fil A will provide shelf stabilized rations once you agree to renounce your heathen ways.

Yes, but our balls are greased up and if there was ever a time to yank them free it is now. When this is over I can see Trump making it his mission in life to fuck China and bring manufacturing back. Even if manufacturing moved to Mexico it would still be a win.

There have been cases like GE moving heaters production back from China to the US and saving money because they optimized the production process at the same time.

https://qz.com/32575/ge-a-pioneer-of-outsourcing-is-bringing-american-manufacturing-back-to-life/

The GeoSpring suffered from an advanced-technology version of “IKEA Syndrome.” It was so hard to assemble that no one in the big room wanted to make it. Instead they redesigned it. The team eliminated 1 out of every 5 parts. It cut the cost of the materials by 25 percent. It eliminated the tangle of tubing that couldn’t be easily welded. By considering the workers who would have to put the water heater together—in fact, by having those workers right at the table, looking at the design as it was drawn—the team cut the work hours necessary to assemble the water heater from 10 hours in China to two hours in Louisville.

In the end, says Nolan, not one part was the same.

So a funny thing happened to the GeoSpring on the way from the cheap Chinese factory to the expensive Kentucky factory: The material cost went down. The labor required to make it went down. The quality went up. Even the energy efficiency went up.

GE wasn’t just able to hold the retail sticker to the “China price.” It beat that price by nearly 20 percent. The China-made GeoSpring retailed for $1,599. The Louisville-made GeoSpring retails for $1,299.

Social pressure on corporations from Trump, sanctions, fear uncertainty and doubt be spread about Chinese goods and the stability of the Chinese political system could cause people like GE to move manufacturing back.

So is this still "peddling false hope" or has the talking point changed now that there's a (D) next to the name?

I think hydroxychloroquine and Zithromax is extremely promising given this French study

I mean it's a small sample size and you might find that in a larger one you'll get some people who don't respond as well. However, you need to do that study to find that out.

If I were POTUS I'd go for lockdowns in the short term and in parallel run studies like this. If the drug combination is as good as the small French study claims I'd reverse the lockdowns and claim a cure and promote onshoring and the current system will live to fight another day.

@3119967d0c Wait you're from Iran? Are you saying that instead of being helpful and translating and spreading good info, you're just shitposting?

I used to like @3119967d0c's posts until I realised he was just Shiiteposting.

"Supercomputing to fight the... *pauses lol* .. THE - Chinese - Virus"

I love Trump when he clearly pushes again on this because he knows the media is Screeching and RRRRrrreeeeeeeing inside in silence in the audience.

 

[2021Murder]

Trump really does talk like a woman, meandering and including details here and there. always having an emotion to every action.

his "war against an invisible enemy" is actually working on me. Maybe its my love of the Yuuzhan Vong War

Why does the media still think they can shame him into changing his behavior? When has that ever happened???

Interesting article in the Herald today, from an interview with a New Zealander who's been over in China and returned back recently.

Coronavirus Covid-19: Kiwi from China says NZ 'woefully unprepared'

Watch: Kiwi in China's eye-opening video compares Shanghai's Covid-19 response to NZ's.

www.nzherald.co.nz

When he returned to New Zealand from Shanghai, via a connecting flight out of Tokyo, he was greeted with just a Covid-19 pamphlet and one five-second question before walking freely out the airport...

Boreham then got a connecting flight to Blenheim to visit his father. But a day later, he booked a flight back to Shanghai after hearing China was tightening its border...

When Boreham returned to Shanghai after a connecting flight from Japan, he was quizzed multiple times about his health, travel patterns, had his temperature taken several times and was told he must quarantine.

Shanghai's security all had protective clothes on, and Boreham was told Japan is a very infected area and everyone coming from Japan must go into quarantine...

The next morning he was visited by four Shanghai health officials wearing full protective clothing.

"They also put a magnetic device on my door which will alert them whenever I open it."

Boreham explained when he needs supplies he has to contact authorities, who will leave a box outside his door, and he is only allowed to open the door when given permission.

It's a shame that New Zealand, the UK, and other governments, couldn't care less about dealing with this. If you won't take basic measures, why pretend to be dealing with the problem at all, why shut anything down? Just come out and say, "Let them die!" Flights from Japan to the US are similarly open.

They can proscribe as much as they want. The entire stock of these drugs aren't held in pharmacies.

Your response to drugs that could be needed being wasted through mis-prescription is "it's legal" (when it isn't even legal in some states that have properly responded to the problem)?

How very Ammurrican.

Trump reminds me of a bit of Reagan. Like Reagan, he's got this odd mix of insight and befuddlement.

Alright Bill, you need to start wading back now, you're getting a little too close to the deep end.

Press conference has finally started an hour late. Trump just announced they are opening Federal Hospitals in Washington State, California and New York. State of New York National Guard has been federalized. Disaster declared in Washington State.

I mean Trumps very tiny Dr Fauci guy basically called it false hope, so no.

Off label proscription isn't "mis-prescription" I don't really care what your totally uninformed idea of "wasted" is.

That literally didn't happen.

Why yes, of course ! It looks at your bank account and decide if it's worth it or not to infect you, of course...

 

[Goronnn]

That literally didn't happen.

Yeah it did. He said any evidence of it helping was anecdotal.

Reporters asked both men — first Fauci, then Trump — if a malaria drug called hydroxychloroquine could be used to prevent COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. A day earlier, when Fauci wasn't with him at that briefing, Trump had called attention to the drug.

On Friday, Fauci took the reporter's question and got right to the point.
“No,” he said. “The answer ... is no.

“The information that you're referring to specifically is anecdotal,” Fauci added firmly. “It was not done in a controlled clinical trial, so you really can't make any definitive statement about it.”

That's an entirely different statement from "he said Trumps peddling false hope".
In fact the good Doctor just said he wants actual trials before talking about it because he's a doctor.
