Mega-Thread: Coronavirus Pandemic

Whats is the point of a wildly inaccurate same day result test? Is it a scheme by states to show a lower than actual positivity rate?

Or a scheme to show a higher than actual positivity rate?

Or a scheme to show a higher than actual positivity rate?

Or a scheme to show they have a scheme to scheme you?

Or a scheme to show a higher than actual positivity rate?

The tests (both pcr and antigen) have a relatively high false negative rate. Still pretty accurate if you actually are negative.

What would even be the point?

Why do you think countries not considered developed can't store it cold enough?

You have kind of a skewed idea of countries that aren't considered developed.

No, I really don't. Having lived in Africa for many years I know what its like there. I've not spent all my life in Sweden with its flawless infrastructure, tar roads, rails links, logistics and budgets.

Many countries people can't get enough food, they don't have access to healthcare, electricity or running water, yet you somehow think that a vaccine can pitch up in a place like that that has been kept at the temperature of an icecream?

And you call my knowledge skewed? Jesus fucking Christ.

yes u r right week immune system do not bear it. to strong the immune system we should avoid the fast food and use rrthe natural food and fruits to strong the immune system. strong immune system can defat the virus . fruits and fruits juices are best source of energy.

African countries that are developing countries aren't the only developing countries.

Thanks, Captain obvious, it was an example.

Covid-19: US Supreme Court backs religious groups over New York caps

The US Supreme Court has temporarily blocked New York from enforcing attendance limits at places of worship in areas hit hard by coronavirus.

In a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that the state's congregational cap violated rights to religious freedom.

In an unsigned order, it said the rules "single[d] out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment."

This was one of the first consequential rulings since conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett was appointed.

Awesome. This decision effectively makes some fire safety codes invalid when it comes to churches. Pack 300 in a room designed for 50, they can’t stop you! I really hope the court gets expanded to save us from this insanity.

I did not even think of that, but yeah, what is stopping them saying that? Faith is more important than some silly fire safety rules (or anything else of the sort) I guess :/

Pretty sure the theocracy advocates on the court didn’t think it through either.

Need to send out a Government paper that asks "Do you oppose the curfew/mask mandates?" if you answer yes, you get fined/increased taxes. Sorry, you can protest all you want but sometimes massive stupidity needs to be punished.

No we have to think about the basic human rights of doing w/e you want even though it poses a massive public danger.
This pandemic exposed the stupidity of the masses to an unprecedented level. About 50% don't want to be vaccinated and this will prolong the shitshow for another year.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote of his ruling that it seemed contradictory to say it was unsafe to go to church but not to shop for a new bike.

"So, at least according to the Governor, it may be unsafe to go to church, but it is always fine to pick up another bottle of wine, shop for a new bike," Gorsuch wrote

If the governor wants restrictions then he needs to apply them equally.

They were applied equally. See, you could go to church but the number of people allowed was limited to 10. Just like every other public gathering.

Please show me where it says you can’t attend religious services at all.

Latvia is having fun time - previous record was 580 on Tuesday. Today we had 898 positive cases, with 11.2% infection rate.
Someone stop this mad bus, I want to get off.

O but businesses open to the public are exempt?
How the fuck do you imagine that's a good idea let alone fair and equal?

They weren’t. Unless they were essential businesses. Attending church in person isn’t essential for any religion. Or any person. You won’t die because you have to do virtual religious services. You very well may die if you can’t get food or drink.
