Stepping into the void, technology companies have become gatekeepers. Twitter deletes posts by Venezuela’s President Maduro or Brazil’s President Bolsonaro that promote untested COVID-19 treatments, but turns a blind eye when the same message is shared by President Trump. Even for the free-speech extremists of Silicon Valley, information is political.

:snoop:

A Texas doctor used his GOP connections to get hydroxychloroquine to administer to dozens of elderly patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in what he calls an "observational study."

In some cases, he didn't discuss with families before prescribing the drug.

A Texas doctor decided to give dozens of coronavirus patients at a nursing home a controversial, experimental medication, in some cases without telling their families first. He defends the decision.

COVID-19 Patients Given Unproven Drug In Texas Nursing Home, Garnering Criticism

This sounds unethical and potentially very illegal


:patrice:
My money is on him being a Trump supporter trying to prove Trump right.

I bet in his mind he justified it by saying they would have died anyway.

These are the evil outcomes that occur when we believe that elderly people dying is acceptable.

Disgusting. He should be jailed.

An infectious and fatal strain of bird flu has been confirmed in a commercial turkey flock in South Carolina, the first case of the more serious strain of the disease in the United States since 2017. https://to.pbs.org/2JX0lB2

A less severe strain of bird flu had been detected along the North Carolina and South Carolina state recently but the case in Chesterfield County, South Carolina discovered on Monday was found to be a more fatal and easily spread strain.

I would say what next, but I am afraid to ask.

after a point, yeah i do :yeshrug: and im not gonna just be speaking for myself. the 30 percent unemployed, etc

what's your timeline? i really dont see november happening no matter what fauci says. we cant just keep printing two trillion dollars a month, either :huhldup:

You can actually, it's just never been done.

The faster people accept that getting things back to normal isn't an effective strategy then maybe we will begin to get innovative solutions. Active scanning for the virus, ultraviolet points to clean your hands, etc.

This may actually force people to look beyond money as an exchange standard.

He can't/won't be able to open blue states like CA and NY, but fukks like DeSantis will do whatever he tells them to do.

Once these Rep thug governors open too soon, the death rate gonna EXPLODE. I'm talking more than 3k deaths per day in each of those states.

Taking Trump out the equation alot of governors are going to be under pressure politically and economically to re-open. We have to understand state governments are losing a lot of tax revenue with places closing. The Federal reserve the other day implemented a 2.3 trillion lending programs for all types of bonds including for municipal bonds. But for how long? The Federal reserves balance sheet is going to be larger than the GDP of this country sometime next week. We are in real uncharted territory. I say red states will open up sooner especially around mid May.

Let those red states open early, and if you have family in them, still remind them to stay in the house and use social distancing as much as possible. They the guinea pigs of this experiment, lets hope they don't become another Japan where the second wave of the Rona forces a second major shutdown.

Highly doubtful. The first bailout for small businesses came too late for many and the law they signed most recently well that money still hasn't made it's way to small businesses.

Whether it's incompetence or indifference it really doesn't matter at the end of the day... a day late, a dollar short


loans and grants aren't going to help anyone if their businesses have folded, the supplies chains have collapsed, and everyone is going bankrupt and suing each other

the "average citizen" was just granted $1200 dollars if they were lucky, it still hasn't arrived and it's a pittance


like I said the collapse of society
That's a black eyes on the us government and the American society as a whole, but I think you missed the point @Hood Critic made. They should be getting help. The government NEEDS to give these businesses help and they fell asleep at the wheel.

They can do it. Just look at the speed in which they bailed out big companies.

You can go ahead and open back businesses, but there is still no normalcy, and no guarantee that money is going to roll in or people are going to support these businesses when they reopen.

So ultimately the government is giving small business owners a horrible choice. Die from lack of resources or take your chances and die from the virus and take others with you.

I'm talking about street gangs, they should try to help but i don't know if people want help from them. They could do good for the communities.

They are not going to. The proven time and again that they only do harm to the communities they reside in. They now exposed as frauds and selfish hardheads that run away from a conflict that they deem too big.
