Don't they consume US products? US entertainment? US Tourism? Aren't they a big chunk of the US and general western economy?
Canada's economy is smaller than Brazil's.

Despite decades of commercial blockage and economic war, Cuba has an admirable healthcare system. They sent doctors to help the italians first than most first world nations. They also received a Cruise ship with infected spanish people that several countries rejected.
6 deaths and 200-smth cases so far.

Most of the people buying TP are trump supporters
He talks too much,
I'd be truly delighted if you could be so kind as to educate me on where and even this survey was carried out - were other demographics identified?
Lol, they're admirable....
...untill you see their own bathrooms are falling apart and beyond repair.

Did your Cuban doctor wash his hands before shoving his hand up your ass? Well, now you know.
Probably, but 3M responded WH...
3M Response to Defense Production Act Order
3M issued the following statement in response to the announcements issued by the White House last evening: Over the last several weeks and months, 3M and its employees have gone above and beyond to manufacture as many N95 respirators as possible for the U.S. market. Yesterday, the Administration...news.3m.com
TLDR: 3M claimed WH is too stupid to understand how economy works in a very polite way...

Italy: COVID deaths by age group 2023| Statista
The distribution of COVID deaths varies by age. People aged 80-89 are the most affected in Italy. Figures are updated weekly.www.statista.com
Total deaths listed: 12550 (+693)
0-29: 6 - x2.00 (+3, this doubled overnight, was just 1 for a long time)
30-39: 29 - x0.00 (+0)
40-49: 110 - x1.06 (+6)
50-59: 479 - x1.05 (+24)
60-69: 1448 - x1.06 (+81)
70-79: 4196 - x1.04 (+187)
80-89: 5029 - x1.06 (+286)
90+: 1251 - x1.09 (+106)
Percentage wise, the very young and very old grew the most, everyone else was increasing at the same rate. Total # wise, it's still the older people who are dying the most, but doubling the 0-29 group overnight is troubling, hopefully it was just an anomaly and not something we see happening more often.
Under 40 still seems like you'll be okay, but 40+ is getting risky.
It's so prima facie dumb that I can't believe anyone ever bought the whole "masks don't help" BS, especially when they throw in other info like "it only helps healthcare workers on the front lines" - really? Why is that? Does the mask conduct an interview before use and ask the owner what their occupation is and tailor its efficacy based on the response? Yes, you can put up all the graphics you want of the size of viral particles and the typical porosity of various scarves/masks, but obviously no one with any sense is saying that masks (any kind of mask, be it N95 or anything below that) will 100% protect you, only that they're beneficial to varying degrees. To state otherwise and suggest that "they don't help at all" is just utter stupidity to the point where I wonder if the folks who continue to peddle it are just doing so for their political/institutional allegiances (and in many cases this is obviously true).
At least I can somewhat understand the CDC/Gov't saying there's no need to use masks, because they wanted to preserve the supply for those who most need it and likely realized that there was no other way to ensure that in the short term if their official guidance to the public was to use masks. Not sure if they ever said that were ineffectual, though (one is outright misinformation, the other not). Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. But these media outlets and "independent" reporters who peddle clear falsehoods have no excuse. The message from the beginning, both from the government and "independent" media, should have been that yes, masks offer varying degrees of protection, but that in this time of national/global emergency we need to ensure that those most vulnerable and most exposed on the frontlines have an adequate supply. Talk to people like adults and respect their intelligence and generally they'll respond well. And yes, the gov't should have started the process of procuring these masks for healthcare professionals and shoring up the supply line much sooner.
"Our number of positives went up about 29%, which is probably more than we've seen in the past and a little disturbingly, the percentage of tests that resulted in people positive spiked up at 64%," Lamont added.
Jesus,...
Cuba with the top quality medical system, and...
It is the Trump supporters hording toilet paper...

It's bullshit - the rural area I'm in now has a very large population of black Americans and they were buying loads of it all too.
Come on, who wouldn't want to have open heart surgery in this state-of-the-art hospital?

I hear the regime said that bits of old moldy ceiling tiles falling into your chest cavity promote good outcomes. Clearly it must be true - they would never lie.
Nope let's enjoy summer in the comfort of our homes!Fuck, this shit's not going away for a while eh?
You could have just started and ended there. We get it. You hate everything about the guy.
Fuck, this shit's not going away for a while eh?
I have to wonder how we'd feel if every single non-COVID death was reported all day for the masses.
People die in such high numbers that it would make our heads spin.
In my view July is looking optimistic. Spike is yet to come for most countries and then the elderly will still be at massive risk. I don't want to go out, I don't want to stay in.Fuck, this shit's not going away for a while eh?
Nope! Enjoy the summer the best you can.
It's going to be a process all over the world. Areas will clear up, restrictions will be lifted to a degree, then a new wave hits, people stay home, rinse repeat.Fuck, this shit's not going away for a while eh?
government ran breadlines.Its not feasable for the entire world to sit at home. I don't want people dying, but at some point food becomes an issue.
amazon has several types of masks available, though quality may vary.Found some general purpose masks that I had recently, does anyone know the best place to purchase any kind of masks?
Doesn't have to be N95 as those are probably sold out everywhere, but looking for anything really.
I think what happens first is more effective treatment methods will be found to reduce the risk of death and pneumonia. Then they may eventually decide to fast track vaccines not just because of the pandemic but because of the global economy. Test trials for patients volunteering may happen and if they respond well they may run them out sooner than expected, though I'm not an expert, I don't know the ramifications of that.

We still don't know how the mutation rate will affect vaccines or herd immunity.
I assume processed food factories are quite automated, needing only a few technicians. The farms are heavily automated. And the trucks we could expedite autonomous ones.Who gonna make the bread? Get the wheat? package it?
Some places are going to have government rations, but at some point someone has to make and package these rations.
Say bye bye to PS5 and Series X

So what I'm gathering from this is that the ventilators may be causing more harm than good due to forcing air into already pressurised lungs?
How else can they help get oxygen into lungs and help people to breathe without the ventilators?
I'm not sure why the Trump administration is holding up California as a model for success. It's a model of epic failure and makes me question the people in charge of this crisis. Not only has California conducted the least amount of tests per capita, California has conducted 90,000 tests and 60,000 tests are pending. It has only processed 30,000 tests and has the worst backlog in the country. California has more pending Coronavirus tests than results. We have no idea what is going on in California. This new partnership with the private sector and "whole of America approach" isn't exactly working in California.

I didn't mean anything by my post, but appreciate the deep response.But that's not the point. The virus has characteristics and causes results that are not compatible with the way we live. According to the CDC, influenza has caused 24,000-63,000 deaths in the US this season out of a total of 39,000,000 - 55,000,000 cases.
The coronavirus spreads more easily and is therefore more infectious. Extrapolated, there would be about 50,000,000 - 90,000,000 million COVID-19 cases (this is calculated very conservatively) in the USA during one flu season. That would be 500,000 - 900,000 deaths (CFR 1,0%) with about 7,500,000 - 13,500,000 hospitalizations (15% rate of all cases).
TL;DR Numbers for the US for one influenza season (numbers are for 2019 - 2020):
Influenza cases: 39,000,000 - 55,000,000
COVID-19 cases: 50,000,000 - 90,000,000
Influenza hospitalizations: 400,000 - 730,000
COVID-19 hospitalizations: 7,500,000 - 13,500,000
Influenza deaths: 24,000-63,000
COVID-19 deaths: 500,000 - 900,000
Source: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm
The death count is not the problem. The number of deaths caused by COVID-19 are actually irrelevant and would disappear in the annual statistics of deaths. But, and this is just the big but, this number of deaths can only be guaranteed if each patient is also treated in the best possible way, similar what happens right now if you have the flu or pneumonia. So what does that mean? The high number of hospitalizations is the problem. Besides for many COVID-19 cases this number would also significantly increase the death rate for all illnesses and accidents (car accidents, accidents at home, ...), due to the hospital overloads. Cardiovascular causes of death and all other imaginable causes of death in the current top 10 would skyrocket. Non-important or non-life-sustaining measures and operations would be a rarity and, depending on the health system, would be reserved for rich people only. Just imagine 80 - 90% of all hospitals would suddenly close down. The scale of it, in all aspects of our lives, would be catastrophic.
On average 150k die each day. Maybe we should have charts for those # as well?I have to wonder how we'd feel if every single non-COVID death was reported all day for the masses.
