i dont think trump talks to anyone before making sweeping anouncements

he walks to the podium and whatever thought pops into his head he just blurts out

Re: Coronavirus update

Over 45,000 recorded deaths in the U.S.A.
Watch Florida climb the charts as the Republican led state has eased restrictions. Thousands of people congregating on beaches etc, many of them students on spring break, who'll take the virus back to their home states.
Meanwhile in another far right stronghold, the numbers are soaring in Brazil. About 2 weeks ago there were about 6000 reported cases. Now it's over 43,000. The relatively few tests conducted there would suggest that the number of infections there are grossly understated.

I was wondering how the virus spread so quickly across the US continent - then i read today the President has ordered a stop to immigration.....

Cross reference:  what happens when just one super spreader migrates or returns to a stressed population refer to current country of Ecuador experience 

Cross reference:  Note the ongoing China experience regarding the number of positive cases returning from overseas 

 

At least the penny has dropped now

 

Once covid get holds of the RIO slums ...... maybe will be declared a new urban scenic located national park

 

The northern hemisphere is entering springtime and emerging out of flu season - will be of interest how this effects new case rates and also the question of will the pest return in force their next winter ?

Roge that picture is disgusting, even worse at this time with the virus, take it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


suppose is to much reality - the virus was supposed to have jumped species from a bat - so how do I remove a picture ? 


I can't say i love the picture but on the other hand, I was in China 2 years back and took several photos of stuff that was being sold as food, things that we probably would not buy. It was being sold in a shopping centre that was perfectly clean, just like any of our smaller shopping malls really. 

The fact is that people from different cultures find different types of food perfectly acceptable. Is killing a bat any different really to killing a sheep or a cow? Is the photo of the bat any worse than photos of whole fish being served or whole pigs on spits? This is the reality of meat eating, that something had to die.

 

The only thing with bats or some other creatures is we are talking of possible virus transmissions because of the way some of the markets overseas are run.

 

Talking of the virus, is anyone watching the covid 19 tracker? I am and I have started taking daily screenshots. I am noticing some rubbish stats coming out and it is shock to me that no one has called them out on it. Maybe someone has.

Nonsense stat 1. China's total & active cases today and yesterday were reported to be the same (88423 and 2006). Exactly the same. Highly unlikely. No other nation's is totally static.

And USA. Numbers through the roof but get this. Click on some states such as Calif & NY and not one recovered case recorded. I call BS on that. Those states have had the virus hanging around at least as long and in some cases longer than we have here in Vic and most of our cases have recovered. I would have assumed the US just was not recording recovered cases except in some states, they are showing.

So I think we have huge differences in how cases are being recorded from place to place and I am not convinced USA has as many active cases as it is showing as having. (Currently 703,877 cases out of a total of 824069). or perhaps it is just that website.

Pres Trump's  background is as a business owner of large enterprises - He will have an instinct for confidentiality which will be in conflict with the obligation for public disclosure , as such He will tend to be non-specific in disclosing public expected information , but back in the "White House board room" you can assured that objectives and plans as well thought out with the assistance of appropriate expert advisors , as is sound business practice.

Re: Coronavirus update

U.S.A. Take active cases from total cases and you have the number of closed cases. Closed cases also includes deaths.
This is a good site as it's updated regularly.
