I hadn't thought to check until now but judging from a recent episode it looks like Puerto Rico's favorite obnoxious drag puppet talk show host La Comay isn't wearing a facemask.

Three straight days with no new cases here now. Just 60 active cases. Still at three deaths. Government is being very non-committal about when they're going to lift some restrictions.

Grocery stores are packed. Lines wrapped around the building. I went to a small local department store chain that also sells groceries. They have all the basics like flour, potatoes, carrots, bacon, eggs, apples, oranges, milk, canned goods, frozen ground beef & pork chops, etc. I think dollar general is similar. I have no idea why people were standing out in the rain by the grocery store when this has all the basics and is up the road. They had lots of everything except yeast, which seems to be sold out all over town.

We reached 10 deaths here today. Only 16 new cases today which is a sharp decrease from yesterday.

Today the Swedish National Health Agency released a report which states as many as 999 out of 1000 COVID-19 cases in Stockholms län might go undetected and that 1/3 of Stockholmers will have had the virus by May 1st. In other words, the Swedish strategy is so effective that 6 182 811 out of 6 189 000 people (the amount of confirmed cases in the Stockholm region is 6189 so far) in a region whose population consist of 2,4 million are thought to secretly have had the virus by May 1st

They have now added a disclaimer on the page from which the report can be accessed (available here) stating that the 1 in 1000 figure mentioned in the earlier version of the summary was wrong, but the current version of the report still states that 99.9% of corona cases go unnoticed. I'm not sure what's going on hereToday's death toll is 185 (which includes deaths that happened earlier but weren't recorded before due to a delay). The state epidemiologist team once again states that Sweden has reached its peak at this point. http://archive.li/wip/6r13j

At least it's mostly killing Somalians.

So just supposing one of the vaccines in development turns out to work well, would that company sell the recipe (for lack of proper term) for it to be made in other countries by other companies?

It will be stolen by a dozen countries before it even completes trials.

Polish update: +263/+21/+164 new cases/deaths/recoveries. 10 thousand tests.

So soon after the recent spike we're back to sub-300 daily numbers, except back then it was Easter when very little testing was being done, this time it was just another day with laboratories fully at work. At a time when the results of Easter family meetings should be becoming apparent, no less. All in all this is a daily gain of only 78 active cases, the lowest such number in thirty days.

Three weeks ago was when our daily numbers of new cases crossed the 400 line and remained roughly in this area ever since. Based on what I've heard about early recovery cases, I would hazard a guess that the average recovered coofer is discharged after three weeks or so. If true, we should be seeing a few hundred daily recoveries soon. One of those days will be the first with a net drop in active cases. Soon.

In the "hoist upon his own petard" department, check out the mayor of Los Angeles, whining like a little bitch over city worker furloughs and city budget problems. Yet this cocksucker has threatened more than once to keep extending house arrest for L.A. Dude, lighten up on the house arrest. Get people back to work and paying taxes. Maybe you won't have such city budget problems. Hope President Trump doesn't give him a penny. NFG here.

‘This is the worst it’s ever been’: L.A. Mayor announces city worker furloughs during State of the City address

I saw this speech yesterday. What kind of crap is he trying to pull here? Why all the deathmongering and the "this is the worst ever"? We're doing good... as pandemics go... lack of paychecks seem to be becoming a bigger problem than deaths.

New York state just issued a drastic new guideline urging emergency-services workers not to bother trying to revive anyone without a pulse when they get to a scene, amid an overload of coronavirus patients.

"Now you don’t get 20 minutes of CPR if you have no rhythm,” a veteran FDNY Emergency Medical Services worker told The Post, referring to cardiac-arrest patients who have no heart beat when paramedics arrive at the scene. “They simply let you die.” The paramedic acknowledged that only about three or four out of every 100 patients with no pulse — “a small percentage” — are actually brought back to life through CPR and other aggressive intervention such as drugs and hospitalization. But “for those 3 or 4 people, it’s a big deal,” the worker said.

I don't like this at all because while it seems reasonable under current conditions, it's going to lead to more of the same down the road. Not everyone being rushed to a hospital is a coronavirus patient.

Are we absolutely sure these freezers aren't where they store viruses that pose no danger to humans? I mean still. You wouldn't show pictures of a frost-covered freezer with a bent seal even if you were showing off where you store, I dunno, soil samples in an agriculture school, let alone something medical. I want to believe these are pictures taken from some under-funded university and have nothing to do with viruses and they somehow got taken out of context or something, and they are not the original pictures posted by China Daily. This is mind-boggling.

Have an archive of the original Tweet.

An Harvard professional is worried about the popularity of homeschooling thanks to Corona-chan. I think she's afraid then she couldn't indoctrinate them.

There's tons of homeschool programs that aren't religious or terrible. Some people are put into homeschool or virtual school because a classroom environment is detrimental to their ability to learn for whatever reason. Don't they deserve a meaningful education?

A Chinese-Australian family's home has been targeted by vandals for two nights in a row, leaving their garage covered in racist graffiti about the coronavirus pandemic, and one of their windows smashed with a large rock.

1) China isn't a race.
2) If there's a fundraiser for them then 80% chance they did it.

only about three or four out of every 100 patients with no pulse — “a small percentage” — are actually brought back to life through CPR and other aggressive intervention such as drugs and hospitalization. But “for those 3 or 4 people, it’s a big deal,” the worker said.

Huh, that's a coincidence, because only about 3 or 4 out of every 100 coronavirus patients die.

It's gonna be useless by the end of the year since the virus mutates and shit.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

So my buddy is in West Virginia. Works at a chain restaurant. Is laid off because of this. He needs to apply for Unemployment.

But the website keeps spitting out gibberish at him, saying he has no benefits. The WV-DOL knows it's spitting out gibberish because it has a big notification saying "if it spits out gibberish it probably means we're looking at it try again in 24 hours." This has gone on for ~2 weeks now.

The DoL office is sealed shut with a big sign saying to call the local number instead.

And the local number provided both on the door and website has been disconnected and rings busy 24x7.

I guess that's one way to ensure the Unemployment funds aren't used up.

Again, like the previous week, the "Deaths with Covid mentioned on the death certificate" is less than the increase above the normal rate. You'd expect it to be more than the increase , as some of the old folks deaths must be replacements that would have happened anyway.
So what is going on? Dying by Covid, but not getting recorded as such? Or dying for other reasons, i.e. Healthcare disruption, economy disruption, Lockdown madness?

18,516 - Weekly deaths
10,520 - usual weekly deaths
6,213 - Deaths directly mentioning Covid

People have theorized that the lockdown would kill people in a variety of ways - suicide, domestic violence, not seeking medical attention being the ones I've heard.

Mind you from the figures for the week ending 10th April it seems like there are 18516-10520 excess deaths or 7996. Of those 6213 are due to Covid and 1783 are presumably some side effect of the lockdown.

I reckon it's probably with other medical conditions not get treated, but I don't know of any studies which have checked this.

To be honest these figures make me think the government's strategy is right - keep the lockdown until you see the daily death rate fall consistently.

Of course, if the deaths from lockdown start to exceed those from coronavirus you'd have to reconsider.

Was looking for vitamin C for my wife. For some reason there are shortages of many vitamins. Finally found something. Got the other things I needed and left.

There was a shortage of vitamins last time I checked too. I've got some multivitamins but they've only got 5ug of Vitamin D in them and I was thinking of getting some with just vitamin D because of Dr. Campbell's video (archive) I spend about half an hour in sunlight though and it's sunny here so I reckon I'll be OK.

It's interesting that vitamins have sold out actually as I don't think the media have even talked about vitamin D reducing respiratory diseases.

I sent one myself . No dicks though.

See this is why I like NY so much more than CA. Both are one-party Democrat states but at least New Yorkers take the piss out of their overlords rather than succumbing to Stockholm Syndrome and internalizing their values.

Writing COVID19 instead of WuFlu or China Disease? Guess they thought it would be bad optics to have that on a national news site. Not even sure whole thing isn't just a photoshop.

Also, a byline with 3 Chinese-Australian reporters?!
