This makes me sick to my stomach and is one more reason I don’t vote. These clowns are going to yell and whoever yells the loudest wins?

How 2000 and 20 of us. All this technology and we’re going to yell to vote. Wow and that’s how we decide who wins. Sounds like something they do in kindergarten

what a broken system

coronavirus is a vicious killer and not anything like the flu, btw.

OP. My back of the napkin math worked out to 1.3M dead. (assuming there had been no preventive measures) That's from 329.45M folks, a transmission rate of 40% and a mortality rate of 1%.

329.45M X .4 X .01 = 1.3178M

Save that napkin. You may need it for TP soon.

Pandemics Depress the Economy, Public Health Interventions Do Not: Evidence from the 1918 Flu
preliminary report from
Sergio Correia, Federal Reserve Board
Stephan Luck, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Emil Verner, MIT Sloan School of Management

link to pdf file, Public Health Interventions do not depress the economy

Questions asked and answered:
1) What is the economic cost of epidemics
2) Do non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing have economic costs, or do policies that slow the spread of the pandemic also reduce its economic severity?

Conclusions: Altogether, our findings suggest that pandemics can have substantial economic costs, and NPIs can have economic merits, beyond lowering mortality


It's a long report, 45 pages in all. The first few pages contain the meat of the subject. The whole point of this report is summed up as: The current measures are not hurting the economy, they are helping. What hurts the economy is the disease. Cure it and the economy will do fine.

Elizabeth Warren is the person I'd be happiest to have running this country right now.

Elizabeth Warren is the person I'd be happiest to have running this country right now.

She just might have a role in that, level headed people who can think clearly will be needed at all levels, just to get back to the start line. Fortunately from what I've seen the democrats have a big bench of eager talent to fill long vacant posts. Posts that are sorely needed right now and it's a big part of the crippled federal response, Donald has no levers of power to pull even if he wanted to, all the experts and technocrats have fled long ago, only the dross remains. It's like the pandemic response team only on a massive scale, he was too lazy and stupid to staff the White House or the federal government. For instance, think how useful a fully functional state department would be in this mess or FEMA or even the CDC.

I would really prefer it to have been Hillary Clinton. She would have been impeached for some bullshit by the republicans in 2017, but not removed by the senate. But she would have sucked it up and worked hard for our country.

But Warren would do well too.

India wants Russian weapons that are subject to American sanctions. But Washington wants New Delhi as an ally against Beijing- so what might America do? https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/india-wants-buy-ton-russian-weapons-theres-1-big-problem-126547

We'll provide a bailout for poor Corporate salesmanship.

How does trump do it?

At a meeting of the country’s Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation with Foreign Countries, Mr. Putin said that Russian arms sales increased to $13 billion this year, compared to about $11 billion last year. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/16/putin-russias-arms-sales-increased-dramatically-ye/

Could say the same thing about the flu, cancer, etc. we don’t care about that though because it’s not cool to be worried about that.

I'm thinking that he is posting here solely to annoy others, his every post is to go off on some tangent and whine about something, and that is fucking pathetic.

And you know what happens when I think that about someone ...
