Update on C-Virus

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

So are we now conceding this is not a hoax as our King told his minions at his last rally.?

He didn’t say the virus itself was a hoax. He said the politicization of it by Democrats was a hoax. Even that was probably poorly worded and dismissive but he says enough goofy things without making stuff up.

Don't you guys realize all this stuff is on tape? They don't have to make it up, they just play clips from his press conferences and rallies.

Pelosi thinks it's a hoax too.

Princess was a great sample of what happens when extensive testing and extensive treatment in a world class health system are available.

that may not be a great sample for a place like Italy or NYC where the health system is overwhelmed.

We absolutely should recognize that economic carnage has consequences for our national health. It’s a big part of the reason to deficit spend. Our historical inclination is to underspend. We are literally killing people if we are too timid now.

the private market economic stats are going to be bleak for q2 and probably q3. They are what they are. We should care that the poverty level doesn’t rise too much and that the death rate is muted.

its also a reason to spend a crazy amount of money on research and testing. One month less of social distancing is worth a number of lives and a lot of economic activity.

But more importantly, the rich kids with their stock portfolios assume the Fed will prop them up by effectively buying their stock at old prices if need be. This is why they are not panicking, and don't understand why big immediate relief is needed from ending the shut down or in direct government relief. I sense something else going on.

Do hospitals operate at over capacity during a heavy flu season?

Do hospitals operate at over capacity during a heavy flu season?

They can end up stretched. But not like you're seeing in, say, Italy, or we're likely to see in a number of major American cities. When is the last time you heard about a shortage of ventilators or masks related to the flu?

Flu season is spread out, and it doesn't appear to send as many people to the hospital (as a % of cases) as this does.
