News CoronaVIRUS MEGA THREAD DEATH TOLL: 452,271

[Pacemaker Joe]

We should probably do like a tailored response situation, something like:

Death rate - 700 (per day)*
"Lockdown in effect every other day for two weeks"

I'm sure the virus would be willing to take every other day off to accomodate this.

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

people will run out of food as most have ran out of jobs and money, shit is gonna get violent, riots and the lockdown will have created more problems and deaths than the ones it was intended to prevent

Maybe having a hard core capitalist society that's terrified of social programs has severe drawbacks.

"The United States is the only developed nation without universal health care. Nearly 28 million non-elderly Americans, or 10.4%, were uninsured in 2018, according to the most recent Census Bureau data available."

"Addressing coronavirus with tens of millions of people without health insurance or with inadequate insurance will be a uniquely American challenge among developed countries," tweeted Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at Kaiser. "It will take money to treat people and address uncompensated care absorbed by providers."

"Concerned that high costs may dissuade people from getting checked out if they feel ill, many insurers and several states are waiving co-pays for the coronavirus test for certain policyholders. But patients will still have to pay for the visit, other testing and any treatment for the coronavirus or other illness they may turn out to have."

“Eagerly awaiting”. Lol you don’t know how accurate this is. There are lots of people on this site just chomping at the bit for that to happen.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

apparently hospitals get more govt subsidies for patients who have covid19 attached to their death certificate, can anyone attest to this?

Also seems virtually no one is dying from pneumonia or 'just the flu' at the moment

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday Canadians will need to stay at home and practice physical distancing for months as the first wave of COVID-19 cases in the country won’t end until the summer and Canada won’t return to normal until there is vaccine — which could take a year and a half.

Trudeau's starkest comments to date about the pandemic came as Canada’s top public health officer predicted it could cost at least 4,500 lives and a government agency announced the Canadian economy lost 1,011,000 jobs in March.

Trudeau said the country is in the early stage of the outbreak because the virus came to Canada later than to some other nations and he said the first wave won’t reach its peak until late spring. Trudeau called it the “challenge of our generation.”


“This is the new normal, until a vaccine is developed,” Trudeau said. “It will take months of continued, determined effort. We’ll need to keep practicing physical distancing, staying home and washing our hands.”

Once Canada gets through the first wave, some economic activity will start up again, he said.

“It’s important that people understand that we will have to be vigilant for a year or year and half. There will be things we are not able to do,” Trudeau said.

He said that even after the first wave ends, smaller outbreaks are likely until there is a vaccine. Canada had more than 19,774 confirmed cases and 461 deaths as of Thursday. The country has conducted more than 373,000 tests.

Health officials said they expected the number of Canadians killed by the disease to double over the next week said that without controls in place, models show as many as 80% of Canada’s population could become infected, and as many as 350,000 could die.


“These stark numbers tell us we must do everything we can now to remain in that best-case scenario,” said Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer.

Capitalism is exactly the same.

Not by a long shot. There are far more opportunities in a free market and more income levels to acheive. In a Socialist economic system, your odds of advancing into the rich ruling oligarchy approach zero.

If you believed that they are "exactly the same" in that respect though, why would you want to replace Capitalism with a system that allows the government to tightly control your resources?

A few con men control the country and offer the slave class the illusion that they can get ahead in the system by using a miniscule percentage that do as an example and those of feeble minds willingly lap up the Kool-Aid as they toil to make money for the rich. Every system is set up to keep certain people in power using economics, religion or brute force.

Speak for yourself. I earned my education, and I earned my career. I am also entitled to my freedom (not the shackles of the government rationing my resources). If you're promoting Socialism (which is really slavery), then you are not just wrong, you are an enemy of free American people.

Yeah. Brown face is areguably worse, since the natives have been treated like dog shit.

In any event, I'd say Trudeau is past that phase... we've all had indiscretions from when we were 18-21.
