Land of the Free and Naive .....
Yeah. Staggering.
I have a friend in Nashville. 3 weeks laid up with the virus in his basement. Thinks Trump is ok. I ask why? He says, well he's better that the other guy.
Cant actually reason as to why Trump is ok though. Just goes on about "Crooked Hillary" and "Sleepy Joe" - can't even reason for himself!
He's come out of his basement - he lives in a rural community - and goes to town and buys some guns.......

- Please no political comments
- Please do not make Corona jokes here
- Post facts not rumours
- Keep the talks mainly Stones tour related
It's just a simple comment, but I may ask: what is the purpose of this thread? All what I read are updated death toll graphics.
IORR is precisely to cheer up, not spreading volume of bad news, every newspaper is doing the job now.

Fighting the virus is 50% science and 50% politics. Please do not post about presidents and prime ministers and political parties, because then I have to delete such post. Try to stick with the topic, with the subject. If you think it is crazy to open up, then say so.

These days are unreal. We are all in the same boat. You may compare the world to a large ferry, or Noah's Ark. We have sections in this boat like separating people and countries, but really, we are in the same boat. Then some hate to be in this boat so they start a fire to get off it. May be they are restless, may be they have lost their income and work. Then others try to stop these people from putting on fires.

I just read the white house task force will begin to disband around the 25th of
this month. If true it’s just in time for the June 1st. predicted 3,000 US deaths per day forecast. The incompetence, coverup and lack of empathy is beyond belief.
It’s all about getting someone re-elected at ANY expense.
Yes you are correct. It has nothing to do with people wanting to get back to work and provide for their families etc. It has nothing to do with people fed up with the lock down. It has nothing to do with starting the process to get life back to normal. It has nothing to do with millions and millions and millions and millions of people saying OPEN UP.
If a person does not like the idea of opening back up then they should stay home.
It is now up to each person to make the decision the fits them.
It is your choice and it is my choice.
Home of the FREE and the BRAVE.
Be smart be safe but don't be scared.
Tell me how it was when you get it. Live free AND Die.

Follow the data - Norway numbers two months into the corona storm
Two months into the hell of a corona virus storm, as for my country, we do now get more details and data as of how the covid-19 disease is, how dangerous it is, how intensive care is working, how many survive after intensive care and so on. We also know how to stop the virus, and how easily it is coming back, if/when we relax a bit by opening up.
Norway had the first covid-19 death on March 12, same date as we implemented lockdown, 8 weeks ago tomorrow. We had a peak of 10 deaths/day on April 7, 3.5 weeks after the complete lockdown. Today we have one death per day. All numbers are three days rolling averages. The peak in new cases per day was on March 27, with 310 new cases, two weeks after lockdown. At the end of the complete lockdown, by May 1, we were down to 33 new cases per day. Today we have 49 new cases per day, the growth of 50% in new cases is probably related to opening kindergarten, schools age 6-9, and a more relaxed population. Still, the number of new cases is low, and under control. They say may be 1% of our population i.e. 50,000 out of 5 million have had the virus.
On April 1 we had a peak of 99 persons in intensive care with ventilators. Today there are a total of 27 people with covid-19 on ventilators, i.e. it is down to 27% of the peak. A total of 120 people made it i.e. survived from ventilator treatment, on average for 12 days on ventilators, while 29 people under ventilator treatment died. There is no public statement about who and how people are treated with ventilators, but I do know that older people around 90+ years old will not get ventilator assistance, because they are not strong enough due to age.
Norway have 100% public heath care system. All hospitals are public, and it does not cost anything to be in care. There are some private business in the heath system, may be 1%, but I don't think they do anything during these corona crisis days.
Så lenge blir de coronasyke liggende på respirator (VG 6 May 2020)
(English: This is how long the corona sick stay on ventitaltors)
PPE: At our local Bærum Hospital, employees working with full infection control equipment (ppe) to treat corona virus illnesses. On Tuesday, there were four Corona patients at this hospital.

I think a large part of the redneck problem in this country (US) is that people are not informed. The local newspapers have all gone out of business and they watch fox news for their information and are generally unable to form decisions for themselves, using sound bites for their decision making. Its very sad.

Seriously though, jump.
I'm as liberal as you are conservative, but let's try to respect Bjornulf's wishes and keep the political nonsense outta here.
Involves letting the occasional comment or criticism slide as they are bound to come up.
