2020-07-25
[Statista] We're paying the price for Cuomo, Whitmer, Pritzker and Murphy, the Master of Drumthwacket's evil, incompetent fecklessness.

#14  Starr county is the same story as Hidalgo (and Maverick) county; they all run along the border with Mexico. They have all been sending cases to hospitals in the larger cities further north.

#13  ^My point (in #4) was: In Israel some people feel they're bad off; Glenmore. Skid's post (#1) shows some people who are really bad off.

#12  #11 Yea, so, they are from Mexico - makes easier to triage?

#11  Grom, the death rate in Hidalgo county, Tx is triple that of the state as a whole, and it is not because of lower use of masks, distancing etc., nor of beach, bar, or protest crowds. People from Mexico (US expats, dual citizenships, other legal border crossers and illegals too) routinely come for medical care and continue to do so with COVID.

#10  Why Sweden remains mask-free
The country - one of only a handful in Europe not to impose a national lockdown - is continuing to go its own way on face coverings



Remember It's not like Belgium, which is locked down tight.

#9  Misleading headline, these are deaths where COVID is also mentioned.

I.e. Fatal crash while asymptomatic of COVID would be counted.

#8  So, like, if D-states followed Sweden on covid (Wuhan) , the R-states would follow Germany?

Good question.

#7  What was it the commanding officer said to his subordinate in Catch 22? "Your memos are too prolix..."

#6  ^Obviously, these people are ripe for downsizing.

#5  Yeah, I like the word "ideation," which also is real but sounds otherwise.

#4  #1 With the country in health and economic crises, Dr. Mark Weiser, head of psychiatry at Sheba Medical Center, says social isolation and financial fears are 'two good reasons why suicidality might be increased during the coronavirus'

(a) “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet”.
(b) I didn't know, bet you didn't either, but "suicidality" is a real word.

#2  ^The county judge reissued a stay-at-home order and curfew, and all schools will begin with online learning until at least late September

Day. Dollar.?

#1  Hospital in Texas county - one of the poorest in the US - will send COVID-19 patients home to die if deemed to be too sick for treatment
