Still breaking daily death records. Ohio had the quickest lockdowns, and we're still in the middle of the pack for deaths/infections per million population.
Sweden is trying it.
As of April 9, Sweden has 9,141 cases of the Covid-19 virus and 793 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University figures.
They clearly are not testing much? 8.7% death rate.

I laughed, but still think you deserve to be slapped.

8.7% is a complete shit rate. My dad was trying to point to Sweden last night as an example of what we should have done.

Cornoavirus passed the 100K dead goalpost.

I had heard this before, but had thought it had something to do with low-quality test kits.

For the sake of humanity, I really hope it doesn't "reactivate" for real.

Over 500K U.S. cases.

They're predicting Texas is about to get bad, and meanwhile, Texas' governor announced today he's working on an order to get businesses up and running again ASAP.

I'm seeing articles on CNN about how COVID-19 is really harmful to minorities mainly thanks to whitey's racism...

But why isn't one of the factors how black people aren't taking it seriously?

Precott and Zeke attempt to eliminate Cowboys from the playoffs before the season starts.

I think this says if you're under 50 and hospitalized with COVID, you probably have an underlying condition.

Hasn't anyone told the virus about fat acceptance and the healthy at any weight movement yet? We could turn this whole thing around!

Bill Burr made a great point on the BillBert Podcast. He said, it's interesting to watch all these young people go about their business, having parties, enjoying spring break, playing in the park, and so on, yet just a few months ago they needed "safe spaces" to protect them from other people's words. He thought it was quite telling how they behaved when something doesn't affect them.

Here's a video from a clearly right wing news outlet interviewing a PhD from MIT, who is also a Republican and ran for Senate against Warren, ripping the shit out of Fauci and then getting into "deep state" bullshit and whatnot.

The Fauci ripping made me laugh because it reminded me of this:

That person was mentioned in page 18 of this thread, I think.
