No, he said a few days ago if the blue states want aid then they'll have to give up their sanctuary cities This is why blue states are having to smuggle in supplies so the federal government doesn't confiscate them, as they've been doing.

IsntLifeFunny Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Seriously, if you think about it though, keeping our food supply running is keeping society functioning. How illogical could you be to say something of this nature? We have to keep these people working to keep food on the table. It isn’t only stupid in and of itself it is retarded beyond belief when your country is in the middle of a pandemic and everyone is on edge. Of course he doesn’t mean what he says, but that is beside the point of how stupid it is to threaten states over illegal immigrants who do a massive amount of the work of keeping Americans fed. Fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jamalisms Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 "... it occurred to me that, in four years of emergency medicine residency and over three and a half years as an attending physician, I had almost never seen anyone die of the flu. I could only remember one tragic pediatric case. Based on the CDC numbers though, I should have seen many, many more. In 2018, over 46,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. Over 36,500 died in traffic accidents. Nearly 40,000 died from gun violence. I see those deaths all the time. Was I alone in noticing this discrepancy? I decided to call colleagues around the country who work in other emergency departments and in intensive care units to ask a simple question: how many patients could they remember dying from the flu? Most of the physicians I surveyed couldn’t remember a single one over their careers. Some said they recalled a few. All of them seemed to be having the same light bulb moment I had already experienced: For too long, we have blindly accepted a statistic that does not match our clinical experience. The 25,000 to 69,000 numbers that Trump cited do not represent counted flu deaths per year; they are estimates that the CDC produces by multiplying the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms. These coefficients are based on assumptions of how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths they believe went unreported. In the last six flu seasons, the CDC’s reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths—that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus—has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620, which far lower than the numbers commonly repeated by public officials and even public health experts. There is some logic behind the CDC’s methods. There are, of course, some flu deaths that are missed, because not everyone who contracts the flu gets a flu test. But there are little data to support the CDC’s assumption that the number of people who die of flu each year is on average six times greater than the number of flu deaths that are actually confirmed. In fact, in the fine print, the CDC’s flu numbers also include pneumonia deaths." https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/comparing-covid-19-deaths-to-flu-deaths-is-like-comparing-apples-to-oranges/ rns90, pat, MadMax, and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Wisconsin’s new cases went up by 40% from yesterday and that’s a week after the protests. Percentage of positives per new test is at the highest it’s been in the past couple weeks. Almost doubled from a couple days ago. I will be shocked if those numbers just happen to be some daily outlier Edited May 1, 2020 by wiscotitansfan Jamalisms, abenjami, begooode, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see if the states that are reopening start to spike a week or two afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
