COVID-19 Megathread 5: The Trumps catch COVID-19

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

As if this couldn't get any weirder, a white hat hacker group has just posted the online login information for all employees of the WIV, CDC, NIH, WHO, and the Gates Foundation. They say they are going through the data now, but one authentic appearing screenshot from an employee of the Wuhan Institute of Virology appears to show a discussion of inserting an HIV single nucleotide protein into a coronavirus. If this is true, prepare for World War III.

Oh God it's now here on the forum as if I didn't see enough of it on reddit and twitter

The dumps were uploaded last night. I would post more proof but I don't know if it's against the rules.

You chose wisely young padawan.

I can't say for sure about what you're referring to either, but what my sister was parroting was very much a conspiracy theory that resembles this.

I'm crossing my fingers desperately that this is just Beet being Beet.

But even Beet being Beet has proven to hold unappreciated wisdom at times, so consider me a little scared.

[GP270watch]

Very sad this incompetent bozo wasn't removed.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Duh.

[Tekken_Guy]

The good news is we'll probably be more prepared to deal with it, at least at the state level.

I can't find anything about this on 4chan. If 4chan isn't eating it up already, it's a nothingburger.

It looks like the Democrats got played again on stimulus funding. This is why we lose elections.

The US is going to set a new daily record for deaths today (at least according to the worldometers count).  The models that projected the peak to come around April 10 were clearly way off.

The peak in deaths isn't the same as a peak in new cases, and you must realize this is backlog right? It doesn't give an accurate picture into how many people are actually dying from this per day.

The cases are going to have a longer tail that many models predicted. Particularly with dumbass governors like in Georgia.

Well they haven't shown that they will. Every moment throughout the crisis, the result has been better than the projections. Almost every state, minus a handful, are seeing new case rates falling. Backlogs don't count.

I doubt that the reopening of a select amount of businesses in GA will have any real effect.

gurl where are you getting "select" from? the entire state is basically reopening

Updated data from CDC show that more Americans over the age of 85 have died of COVID-19 than those under age 65.  The risks to young people are terribly overstated by the sensationalist media. 

Half the deaths are between those ages. Why did you not mention this? Most people who died are younger than 85.

I'm a dude, and the governor literally said select businesses. Restaurants among them, along with Salons and Gyms.

Today is turning out to be the deadliest day of the pandemic so far in the U.S at 2,800 deaths

This. Hospital capacities will be swelled in anticipation, and treatments will be available, so we might not even need social distancing.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

We'll be more prepared this time at least.

True. States will pick up the slack...again.

This is interesting.  Georgia seems like the libertarian version of Michigan in terms of handling this.  Nail salons and movie theaters are on a totally different level from parks and beaches.

Fortunately all of the major chains are shut anyway by corporate decision, and whatever does open won't have much to show. No big budget movies coming out till June and only a few for the entire summer. Everything else has been delayed.

 This would mean that the projected peak of April 15th was wrong. I am less optimistic this week from what I've seen than I was last week.

Apparently there was a backlog of really old cases in California.

It does mean though than the pandemic to this point has been worse than we realized.

Not sure. The virus is mutating.

I don't know what's crazier, that theory or the theory that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was studying bat coronaviruses but it was just coincidence.
