Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Sirioja]

China has 4 times the population of the US so they should have about 1,000,000 dead at this time instead of 4,000. US has 10,000,000 covid infections so China should have around 40,000,000 and with those number of infections they did this in Wuhan recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjDLFjmkNuQ

Nobody know the truth about China, land of freedom and for human rights, a whole huge lie. US also can't know with more than 10 millions illegals and maybe about 50 millions without healthcare insurance, when Trump was telling no risk, Americans are stronger, maybe why Pfizer fucked him, waiting Biden to be elected, because thinking they would not make big business under crazy golfer.

Do you trust chinese figures? When US are reaching 250.000 deaths, UK more than 50.000 , France more than 40.000.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk reported on Twitter that he may have tested positive for the coronavirus after taking four tests half of which came back positive.

"Something extremely bogus is going on." Musk wrote Thursday evening.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/business...s-15725398.php.

He's mixing up the different types of tests. There are the quick 5 minute tests that are only 75-80% reliable used for fast screening in emergent settings. The standard of care that is actually used are the PCR tests that requires processing in a lab. Those are the ones used to confirm positive tests and also the ones most countries use for travel purposes. The article specifically mentions the rapid antigen tests not the standard of care PCR mRNA tests.

Nothing fishy or unexpected here. Details matter.

So China the world's most populous country must have tens of millions of infections and over a million deaths from covid 19 at this time instead of eighty thousand infections and four thousand deaths.

In many cities and countries the hospitals are full with sick people (mostly covid) some are dying like never, the pandemic is not under control, except China, Korea, Japan. Musk is just a businessman trying to making as much money as possible, obviously the tests are not reliable, everyone knows that, obviously the vaccine will not be efficient just because we have already today the 4th variant, but still people don't respect social distancing, still people telling the covid is not dangerous. Today it is very easy to get informed but at least you need to be open to the reality but so many people are not.

When did Gino become a Russian bot?

It is a risk for the alt right dudes to hitch their wagon to Musk. He tends to be a loose cannon. It was only in the recent past that Musk and Tesla were derided by right wingers, as they hated EVs and tend to support fossil fuel industry. Forever, right wing told us Tesla would collapse if subsidies were removed, which indeed would have been the case until 2018. Or even early 2019. Now things changed, Telsa's balance sheet improved (mostly because their stock went up 10 times). Anyway, yeah, Musk suddenly became a darling or the right due to his Covid stance although I don't think he gives a flying fuck about right or left. His only concern was to keep the Fremont plant open and keep the production line switched on, otherwise he can't deliver the units he promised investors and his stock would have crashed. So, he did something in self interest and voila he is a rallying hero for the right. But of course to claim he is emblematic of all independent thinkers or smart people is nonsense, especially when it comes from alt right that spat on him till 2 years ago. What about Gates, Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergei Brinn, W Buffett? They all swear by the mask and don't think Covid is a nothingburger. They are brainwashed turds? I guess they made $425 billion between just the five of them by outsourcing their brain, eh?

What about Mitch McConnell? You know after Jan 20, he is the de facto leader of GOP. Moscow Mitch may give lip service to every violent tweet by Trump against Dr Fauci but when it comes to his own health Mitch is religiously mask wearing. He shunned White House for 2 months because he knew WH is a Covid pit. Not only that, he proudly declared he has been shunning WH. Bold declaration indeed by a GOPer in the land of trumpards.

Is Mitch clueless? Is he a libtard? He is a sheeple I guess? Brainwashed by the liberal kool aid drinkers?

You realize a majority of Trump supporters don't have a college degree right? Or is that fake news too?

To be fair, voters for both parties are dominated by those w / odegrees.

The simple fact is that less than 40% of the country (adults) have degrees.

It is true that in the recent past degrees voters among Whites have migrated away from GOP. I said this in other posts.

Also the link above shows top and bottom 10 ranked on educational achievements. The top 0 are all solidly blue and 8 of bottom 10 are deep red. Only NM and NV in bottom 10 are purple or blue.

Generally it has been true that the richer states have trended blue of late while the poorer are red. Urban dominated states have higher per capita incomes and tend to be blue, while rural states have lower income levels and are red. Also, South is poor and red and northeast and west coast are richer and blue. But some changes are happening, like GA being in the south, turning blue and also richer due to growing Atlanta while industrial Midwest which used to be solidly middle class got hollowed out due to China taking a lot of our manufacturing, income levels went down and some of them turned from blue to purple or even red. Ohio is one example.

This guy is allowed to run a state in USA that's half the population of Germany!

Great! Believe what you want believe, many people do that, exactly as I wrote responding to Poly.

No need to 'believe', you just have to look at facts. You are entitled to your opinions but not to your own facts. This pandemic is hard to defeat because there are too many people, who consider a youtube video as trustworthy as medical doctor.

[Pessimist]

Poly,

Good honest attempt, but I doubt you can change the minds and beliefs of most the sheeples with all these real scientific proof-points. These folks have already drank so much kool-aid from the MSM as instructed by their Democrat demagogues that very likely they lost most brain cells to do any independent thinking. I wouldn't exactly blame them though, a lot of people are born with such defects that they get influenced by the libtard kool-aids too easily, not their fault. That said, thank you for the information, reinforces what I (and probably many guys here with independent thinking) already knew at a high-level, and that makes me (and us to) feel more confident going forward in life. Hope we can go FKK-ing again soon.

Wow.

What a post!

Earlier you called me a condescending douchebag keyboard warrior and said "you know nothing about me". Fair enough.

Now, the descriptives you have in your comment are: (a) sheeples (b) will not accept real scientific proofs 9 c) drank kool-aid (d) instructed by Dem demagogues (e) lost most brain cells (f) no independent thinking (g) born with these defects (h) libtard (I) kool-aid repeated (j) lack of independent thinking repeated coupled with a self patting about having an abundance of independent thinking.

If only you had printed another paragraph, you would have circled all the English alphabets.

When I disdained your comment in which you made some nonsensical observation about insider trading and thereafter showed that you were absolutely clueless about the subject, my condescension as it were, was limited only to you personally and limited to the subject you initiated your comment on.

Here however, you decided to throw shit at perhaps half the country or more (whoever fits your definition of libtards), and then did not limit your comment to one subject (such as Covid) but everything in life.

I am guess you were born w / o a sense of irony (in addition to having no clue about insider trading) based strictly on what you demonstrated in your comments so far.

[Gino02]

I don't understand why you need to bring politics Democrats vs Republicans into the discussion of a viral pandemic. It may be a sign of mental confusion of some sort. You keep considering mortality rates as the only aspect of this virus that is worth considering. You fail to consider that we still don't know the long-term effects of this virus on pregnant women, fetuses, children etc. Persistent Covid symptoms lasting for many months have been recorded in the medical literature and it has already impacted many people around the world. Also, the ICU beds in hospitals are not being filled with dolls, but with real suffering people. Some of which may well have been like this guy, who thought it was all a hoax: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...id-party-texas.

Great! Believe what you want believe, many people do that, exactly as I wrote responding to Poly.
