I mean... if you can look at this channel and STILL be gay, then I guess you are what you are!

This Demotivational Poster seems so appropriate for Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Jerry (Jerry, Jerry) Nadler...

I think we need to give democrats a little credit...

This one made me LOL

<@565357017733267457>s Might I suggest a separate Coronavirus channel? If the R0 on this thing really is between 4.7 and 6.6 as the Los Alamos National Lab says, this is deadly serious

hrm, well, maybe if I hit a specific mod - @Feddie or @Syntage seem to be online...

oh look - a suggestions channel. Duh.

Thanks. The sudden change in reporting methods in China is interesting, to say the least. A 33% jump in cases in one day. Is it the beginning of some transparency as they recognize that they DON'T have a handle on it?

Well, covid19 may turn out to be quite serious

an r nought of anywhere near or over 5 is pretty sick

There is a good chance we are not getting accurate info out of the chicoms, either

but if you look at the pattern of events, this is *nothing* like prior outbreaks. For SARS, you saw some people walking around in masks, but did they...

Build containment centers (dubbed hospitals) in 10 days? Or spray massive amounts of disinfectant everywhere? Or weld people into their apartments? Or quarantine even a fraction of the number they have on quarantine? And so forth and so on. If their reaction is telling us anything, it's telling us that this is much more serious than they are initially letting on

Here's the link for the "official" count:

I don't believe these numbers. The trend follows numbers for a pregenerated R0 of 0.99 (until today). And then you have the Los Alamos National Lab say R0 is 4.7 to 6.6? And their line follows 0.99?

I don't think so

China has fired party leaders in Wuhan. Good excuse to start reporting real numbers and blame old numbers on ppl just fired

An interesting trend to watch is the daily deaths versus daily recoveries- this represents the ratio on "concluded cases". The numbers have been keeping a pretty steady ratio of 18-20%

That mind-boggling

That would mean the mortality rate on concluded cases is huge. With an R0 that is possibly 4-5x of the flu?

We can only hope that the recovered number just significantly

Every single one of these girls wants me...

...to join them in their support for Trump!

Here is some analysis on coronavirus:

I'm going with "pretty good." Parscale's figures from the NH rally had ~25% democrats in attendance. The voter energy during the primary was notable in favor of Trump, basically getting more votes than incumbent candidates Obama AND Bush COMBINED.

I think you mean "democrats"
