Rush Limbaugh today sees an idiot in the Mini Mike Mirror and backs away thinking "Yeah, I'm pretty dumb and look at all the money I've got!"
Here:
I
just don’t think he’s very bright, and I know that cuts against the
grain so strongly because most people say, “My gosh, Rush, he’s got more
money than you, more money than we got. He can’t be dumb and have that
happen.” Ehhh. I think there’s a lot of these rich people, folks, that when it comes to flat-out common sense are just idiots.
Absence of non-East Asian coronavirus fatalities so far makes some wonder if there ever will be any
There are considerations other than genetic racial predisposition or vulnerability to infection, however.
As the Chinese are now reporting, the coronavirus infection affects older men much more than women. In the initial phase of infection in Wuhan, for example, 68% of patients were men. Strikingly, as recently as 2015, 68% of Chinese men were said to smoke cigarettes, making them predisposed to infection because of impaired lung health.
Still, no death so far has involved someone without East Asian ancestry, which may indicate, as with the SARS coronavirus epidemic in 2002-2004, that fear of a global pandemic resulting in millions of deaths may not be reasonable and that this may remain an East Asian epidemic. It could be that just as sub-Saharan Africa is responsible for 80% of genetic sickle cell disease China may be prone to respiratory disease for some as yet unknown genetic reason.
China liberalized case counts to include clinical diagnoses recently, so the death rate is already much lower
And on top of current skepticism about current data, we still don't know how many cases, or deaths, may not have been counted in the early period of the outbreak.
And we probably never will know.
There were 999 confirmed cases outside China as of this morning. That's what we'll have to watch.
Ukrainian partisan Alexandra Chalupa has spent way too much time in the deep fryer of German hatred, comes out scorching two Jews as Nazis
Why the DNC ever gave this woman a position to import foreign hatreds to American soil tells you everything you need to know about Democrats.
LOL, what a shock: Chicom state capitalism has produced the most severe income inequality in the world, enriching The Party
According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the
United States, China has the world’s highest Gini coefficient, a
measurement of inequality. The institute found the gap stemmed from
structural problems with China’s political system. State capitalism has
been effective in fueling growth in the economy, but worsened inequality
because of its inefficient distribution. The downside of China’s state
capitalism has been exposed.
NIH's Anthony Fauci says quarantine of 2,666 passengers and 1,045 crew on Diamond Princess cruise ship wasn't unreasonable but failed
"The quarantine process failed," Fauci said. "I'd
like to sugarcoat it and try to be diplomatic about it, but it failed.
People were getting infected on that ship. Something went awry in the
process of the quarantining on that ship. I don't know what it was, but a
lot of people got infected on that ship."
Whoa, overnight infections with coronavirus onboard quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship jump again, to 542 as tests come in on more of the 3,700 passengers and crew
Previous recent news reports had indicated approximately only 1,743 of the 3,700 passengers and crew had been tested.
The new test total is now 2,404.
The overall infection rate thus jumps to 14.6%, but the way this is being handled and reported is, let's just say, something only Gunney Highway could properly assess.
Coronavirus cases onboard Diamond Princess cruise ship jump to 454
Infection rate jumps to 12.3%, despite confinement to cabins.

Chicoms report 72,436 cases of coronavirus infection, 1,868 deaths: Death rate rises to 2.57%
Contrast that with the US influenza data for 2017-18:
The overall burden of influenza for the 2017-2018 season was an
estimated 45 million influenza illnesses, 21 million
influenza-associated medical visits, 810,000 influenza-related
hospitalizations, and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths.
Death rate: 0.136%.
Coronavirus is a bfd.
Trump's latest immigration joke on America: 375,000 illegals caught and released directly into US in fiscal 2019
The total 375,000 people released into the country are among 3.2 million who have been released by federal immigration authorities and are awaiting court hearings to decide whether they will removed from the country.
"Let them go! Let them go! Let them go!", they shouted at every Trump rally in 2016.
Ask the old blind man, he heard it, too.

Death rate from coronavirus in China increases again, to 2.5%
There are 70,548 confirmed cases, and 1,770 deaths, according to Chinese authorities.
A 40% global pandemic and at this death rate would kill 74 million people worldwide, and about 8 million in the United States.
The Diamond Princess cruise ship, quarantined in Japan and with all passengers confined to cabin, has an infection rate of 9.6%, with 356 total cases of coronavirus out of approximately 3,700 passengers and crew and no deaths reported to date.
If the US observed similarly strict quarantine measures during a pandemic and achieved a similar infection rate of only 9.6%, there would eventually be roughly 32 million domestic cases of which about 800,000 would die at a 2.5% death rate, far surpassing total world deaths from influenza in a bad year.
The US has fewer than 1 million hospital beds available, dropping from 1.5 million in 1975 to about 931,000 as of 2017.
A pandemic in the US would present some of the same survivability issues faced by victims in China, where the sick are turned away simply for lack of space.
