    You better advise to buy good respirators, baseball bats and start mass student protests.

  • @Vitaliy...these aren't students. they're profs and researchers.

  • @kurth

    Nice, they can help students to organize a lot.

  • Important to understand

    Note how testing level increases and how it is fewer and fewer contacts goverments can check.

    Next stage seems to be total forced testing, one address after another, with some significant fee for avoiding testing or even more serious consequence.

    And testing result can actually depend not only on virus presence in your body.

    We can witness this summer biggest filtering operation, removing any dissent totally.

  • House Democrats are pushing forward with a massive fifth round of coronavirus relief legislation that could be their most far-reaching effort yet to address the economic fallout of the pandemic -- and come with another price tag in the trillions.

    "We're looking at a multitrillion-dollar bill," one House Democratic aide told Fox News.

    While the text of the legislation may not be available until next week, it's clear the centerpiece of the House response will be funding for state and local governments. Their tax revenues have dried up during the pandemic and governors and mayors have warned they'll have to cut essential services and public workers, like police and firefighters, if the federal government doesn't help with their coronavirus expenses.

    Superb logic.

    If you just try to look from afar - it looks like slave owners try to run multiple modern research labs using their proven methods.

    Looks funny and scare at the same time.

  • this tells us they know there's no immunity, and possible even risk of re-infection.... the illogical part is that so many people with corona positive, but untested..... https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/05/06/coronavirus-survivors-banned-from-joining-the-military/

  • Perspectives on the Pandemic Series

    Dr John Ioannidis of Stanford University

    Dealing with Coronavirus, a fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data.

  • Perspectives on the Pandemic Series Professor Knut Wittkowski

    In this explosive second edition of Perspectives on the Pandemic, Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty years head of The Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design, says that social distancing and lockdown is the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus.

    Further, he offers data to show that China and South Korea had already reached their peak number of cases when they instituted their containment measures. In other words, nature had already achieved, or nearly achieved, herd immunity.

  • Perspectives on the Pandemic Series Dr. David L. Katz

    In this "back to work" edition of Perspectives on the Pandemic, John Kirby talks with Dr. David L. Katz, the author of the much-debated March 20th New York Times op-ed, "Is Our Fight Against the Coronavirus Worse Than the Disease?"

  • Perspectives on the Pandemic

    Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi

    When Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi held a press conference on April 22nd about the results of testing they conducted at their urgent care facilities around Bakersfield, California, the video, uploaded by a local ABC news affiliate, went viral. After reaching five million views, YouTube took it down on the grounds that it "violated community standards." We followed up with the doctors to determine what was so dangerous about their message. What we discovered were reasonable and well-meaning professionals whose voices should be heard.

  • @jleo No one will take Dr. Nut seriously. Someone with that name should not have gone into medicine.

  • @kurth

    More interesting question is why all leading coronavirus and flu labs who are really good at making new viruses actually are absolutely useless in providing things they had been funded for (at least it had been stated).

    For now it is absolutely zero information or useful cure proposals from them.

  • Forty-one publicly traded companies that got the emergency aid already had enough to cover basic expenses for two months or more when they applied for the funds, a Reuters analysis found — even if their revenue dropped to zero. Thirty had three months or more of cash. Six had enough to last at least until December, according to the review, which was based on average monthly operating expenses from 2019.

    Large guys don't cry...

  • @Vitaliy....because it's alot easier to break something than build it from scratch

  • Google has extended its work-from-home policy for the remainder of 2020. After previously telling employees that they would be working remotely until June 1st, CEO Sundar Pichai has told employees that they’ll likely work from home until the end of the year.

    Nice, just nice.

  • New target after cats - air conditioning

    Scientists here proposed to ban any air conditioning in public places as it can collect viruses and spread them further.

    Yes, seriously.

    Expect this to come in US next week.

  • Belorussia news, perspective vew

    • Dead from blood system issues - 25000
    • Dead from oncology - 6400
    • Dead from alcohol poisoning 484 (since coronavirus craze start 4 months ago, all other lines the same)
    • Dead from suicides - 470
    • Dead in fire - 218
    • Dead in car accidents - 163
    • Dead due water drowning - 89
    • Dead from various isnesses (usually many of them) who had positive coronavirus test - 97

    Good perspective. No closing or anything.

    In Mordor coronavirus deaths are around 0.17% if you compare it to 2019 year deaths (2020 data are not published now as they can cause bad questions).

    Note that developed countries almost stopped helping people in first two lines of the list.
