As long as it doesn't turn into another chloroquine

So a coughy filter?

He's kinda growing on me. I know that's super controversial and literally Hitler and all that to some people, but he's kind of entertaining while still being serious, and all at the same time I feel like professional people are advising and being listened to.

I think it's fine. Again, this will likely be outrageous, but it really shouldn't be.

Really? Based on what? The constant contradictions by Dr, Fauci?

Considering how low the death percentage to ICU admittances are in certain countries, I think it's safe to say that deaths are not the right metric of measurement. They probably use two death metrics, one for the public to prevent panic, and one real for internal consumption. They are probably attributing deaths to underlying causes, not the virus. For example if a cancer patient with corona dies, the death is attributed to cancer.

Goes both ways of course, plenty of folks that were dying and then got COVID get counted.
This death is only "linked to" COVID, but wonder how they ascertained that his falling down and hitting his head was linked...

He isn't morbidly obese and he wasn't out of breath like this before.

he is very much morbidly obese, he is easily sitting at 35% body fat if not more.

Dr. Fauci is a joke.

I mean, the man isn't stupid and knows a lot. However his job and role is damage control so most of the stuff he says is just full of shit.

So does anyone know how china is doing at the moment? Is their curve flat yet? Is there less cases daily? Everyone says their info is lies, but in genuinely curious how they're doing.

It is doing ok. Otherwise, we would see videos or pictures of over-crowned hospitals.
But then again, only 2 places had breakout, WuHan and Italy.

New York may just sound bad.

As long as the cities are in semi-shutdown, it can prevent the breakout.

[Svifnymr]

Because what now?

Come on, there's even a flag!


(No clue if that's any sort of actively used EU flag, it just came up when I Bing'd "EU Flag".

Nah he isn't morbidly obese aka BMI 40+.

Morbidly obesity is more than just a measure of 40, you can also be morbidly obese at 35. He is very much morbidly obese he's fat, maybe not by your standards but he very much is with his triple chin and big sized suits.

Morbidly obese is a medical term for BMI 40+.

Honestly believe what you want does not change that he is very much morbidly obese.

[RobertoCarlos]

BMI is a terrible chart.

Giant tall dudes can get away with being obese but a short lady who's a weightlifter is suddenly obese as fuck.

Should know this being a surgeon apparently

"Believe"


....

Trump's BMI is around 30. He is obese. He is fat.

He is not morbidly obese.

[PhaelixWW]

I'm willing to bet that Trump is lying about his weight, but I don't think he's 320 pounds, either.

[Puupi]

Trump is worried about the sports franchises and empty stadiums.


That's like the last thing you should be talking about.

[Orby]

I have decided I do not want to see any more news on this pandemic, I am literally just shutting myself away. I suffered my first anxiety attack in a long time...

When my sister is a nurse and you read headlines like 'Nurse deaths 'inevitable' from coronavirus' by the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52165167) and that a neighbouring hospital from her now has 30 nurses reported suffering with the virus it makes me very uncomfortable... My sister is my best friend, and I am super proud of her for doing what she is doing, but I am losing it with worry.

Why? you know the amount of ppl that work in and around sports and have their lives depending on it...
Just because it does not impact yourself does not mean it has a large impact on other households.

In recovering from this catastrophe, sports events are by far the last in the list of what should be available to public.

Talking about sports events at this point shows a huge lack of understanding of the severity of this situation.

All around the world we talk about sport clubs and on what way we can make sure how they can survive.
Its not a Trump thing its a world wide issue, in the EU we talk about the champions league and on what way we can make sure football clubs and other sport clubs will not get destroyed.
