But per capita, they gotta be the dumbest...unless I maths wrong. 

Its a matter of perspective really.  Many, many idiots in America. But there are also many, many college educated people in America as well.  It's a very polarizing population here.

Sweden has more deaths per capita than the US (re: Corona Virus).   

 

But hey, at least their businesses are still open!

Over 750 Iranians died from drinking methanol in a misguided idea that it would kill the C-19 virus. ???

That's the danger from having religious fanatics in government (down South or over there).  And might be the reason why the Conservatives are in opposition in this country (re: social conservatives).  As goofy as the left-wing nuts, only they're better organized.

Malcolm Gladwell video on the G&M kinda of put the C-19 virus in perspective. He thinks the idea that isolation will be effective long term will not stand up. The majority of the people will get this virus. 

 

I think people will go back to work. The critical concern is testing capacity to ensure those who do have the virus can be isolated. Ortho announced yesterday that they will be able to antibody test 2 million per day by the end of May. Their equipment is in over 1000 USA hospitals. 

 

Association of American Physicians & Surgeons said 2333 patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine with 91.6% showing clinical improvement. China, France, Australia and USA are using the drug. Not a long term answer for the vast numbers.

Hmm.  CFL is asking for a bailout.  Not sure what to think of this.

Get the NFL to buy the league, change the rules to American or 'Normal' and boom there's your NFL development league.

Seriously, Doug Ford should win the political equivalent of the NBA's "most improved player award".

IIRC the Iranian case was the result of a lack of trust in the current regime. The ayatollah didn't call a press conference and suggest to his citizens to drink methanol. Its the reverse situation with the USA where people are ingesting fish tank cleaner and disinfectants because of their trust in Bone Spurs.

Who was the person over there (minister of something....health?) that said the virus wasn't a problem (or something to that effect) while actually *looking* sick while delivering that speech.....then shortly testing positive for that virus?  No wonder the people over there don't trust anything that is said by the government.

The isolation efforts have never been to eradicate the virus, it was to flatten the curve and make sure we all don't get it at once.

I don't think anyone in Canada at least ever suggested isolation was anything other than 'phase 1' of dealing with this. We wanted to avoid a northern Italy scenario, which we did. It can still occur though so the next phase is going to be tricky.

Sadly, I think he's probably having a "career year"....

yeah, I don't remember his position, but it was bizarre....

 

.....downplaying the virus, while looking as though he might pass out any second.

 

Still, memory is a funny thing. Now that I'm thinking back on it, I can't recall if he was the one making the "nothing to see here" remarks while looking extremely ill, or if he was looking that way while someone else was speaking... I'm far too lazy to go back and check, so someone can correct me, if they know for sure.

The instant gratification people will be hard to corral back into resuming safety measures should they become necessary.

 

It's sad that some in society view important world issues with a view of how hard it'll be to change as they become irritated and impatient.

Change often comes with growth, awareness and enlightenment.  Even if it is inconvenient, difficult and sometimes scary...nothing worth having is ever really easy and generally does require some work and effort.
