Here’s an excerpt for you supporting what I said along with the other articles I posted. Then came the autopsies. When they opened up some deceased patients’ lungs, they expected to find evidence of pneumonia and damage to the tiny air sacs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream. Instead, they found tiny clots all over.

Explain what exactly is incorrect. Also reference the three other articles I posted pointing to Covids affects on blood.

I thought it would go without saying that we wouldn’t have held sporting events and other large gatherings. Sweden didn’t continue to do that either. I’m talking about jobs and isolating the at risk instead of putting 30% of the country out of work.

The point of the article is that it might have been smarter not to shut down the entire economy. They've kept nearly everyone working and they wont have the paranoia to deal with that we do when they try to bounce back from this. I wish this was the route that we had taken. Instead nearly everyone I know is laid off right now.

More evidence that this virus is attacking primarily the blood cells. The acute respiratory distress that is listed as the leading cause of death as a result of covid is simply a byproduct of the lungs overworking to replenish oxygen to blood cells that can no longer carry oxygen. https://a.msn.com/r/2/BB1336g0?m=en-us&referrerID=InAppShare

Yep, some of the heaviest snow of the season this morning on my commute from Clarence to west falls lol. Roads were covered and visibility low enough to slow it down to 30mph.

I read that article a few weeks ago and question it. This photo is from the source article. Note the scale difference for tuberculosis vs othe causes, many magnitudes larger. And the decline coincided directly with the time period in question. IMO this one decline alone accounted for drop in mortality, which had nothing to do with the depression.

Yea it does. Now the trillion dollar question is whether a survivor of a mild strain is immune to a deadlier strain.

Was mutated to 8 strains a few weeks ago, now 30. I doubt we'll have a viable vaccine anytime soon. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.14.20060160v1

This is the same that I've expected/experienced. Your flight was booked directly with the airline, right?

If Russia attacks the Saudis the US will attack Russia, then China sides with Russia...and we have WW3. That's good for no one.

Meh...I don't know how good this is if it lasts for any appreciable period of time. 90% of the Saudi economy comes from oil, and 70% of Russia's. I would imagine that the Saudi's can float for a while, whereas Russia will become pretty desperate and aggressive quickly. If saudis keep pumping out oil Russia will attack their oilfields, whether directly or by proxy.

I disagree, maintaining residents is actually a financial/time burden(PITA) on a hospital system. I can only speak locally. And they are hemorrhaging money across all service lines, not just the ones you mentioned. The Covid cases are turning into an accounting nightmare as costs for supplies have ballooned and guidance for coding modifiers is changing daily. I'll agree that LONG term this would hurt, but you're talking years from now there being a shortage. I would be more concerned that colleges stateside and globally wont even be able to produce students ready for residency.

Which goes back to my point about this latest immigration move being more about protecting jobs than preventing more Covid cases. That has to be the play.

I get your argument but currently the situation is the opposite. Medical staff, including MDs, are being furloughed/laid off all over the country or being asked to take pay cuts. I know locally that healthcare is hemorrhaging money.

That’s insane. Anytime I’ve had a flight canceled on me that they couldn’t rebook the refund process has been automatic. You’re right, they must be aggressively trying to hold phones. Virgin Australia just went bankrupt yesterday, I don’t think they’re going to be the last large airline to fold before this is over.

There are times I miss it...but since I couldn’t sleep I just snuck in a shoulder workout. I started out a a kid at steel mill gym in Lackawanna, that place was as close to westside barbell as you can get around here. I miss that place.

@BuffaloWeather couple gyms declared bankruptcy today...there might be a flood coming of used equipment. Can never have enough iron.

I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s playing hardball for jobs. Most of the people he locked out were coming here on work visas. Economy is going to be shit for a while I think. Too much paranoia.

Wow. pretty good read on the topic, and fairly recent. https://www.nknews.org/2019/03/contingency-planning-who-would-succeed-kim-jong-un/

The craziness deepens. I don’t see what this does to help at this point. I’m no conspiracy theorist but something doesn’t seem right. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suspend-immigration-executive-order-coronavirus

Anyone else now avoiding purchasing things made in China? I just learned carhartt has a made in USA line, picked up a couple new pairs of work pants.

If this lasts long I wouldn't be surprised to see Russia attack oil fields...whether through proxies or directly. https://www.investors.com/news/us-oil-prices-have-never-been-this-upside-down-before/

One of our favorite vacations was Vancouver, which I'd imagine will be doable later this year. We stayed downtown and were a 30 minute drive from the grouse grind which we hiked from sea level. We also summit-ed Brunswick and West Lion leaving from Cypress. We went in early June and needed all of daylight to make that work. Didn't see a soul for 12 hours. https://goo.gl/maps/55YRBzqa68LyPNKp6 Was kind of odd at times but an adventure nonetheless. https://goo.gl/maps/icsAe7n8e9YkZ1TG8 Completely Epic. Feet of snow on the ground still in spots. Here's a pic from that summit. I had to downsize the image to post but those are cruise ships in the fjord.

I agree. At some point in our life times we may see professional athletes screened for genetic modification.
