This is some ridiculous PATRIOT Act level bullshit right here.A Maryland man has been sentenced to one year in jail after he hosted two parties against the governor's COVID-19 large gathering orders, prosecutors said.

That's bad.

I don't know if that guy has this option, but if he does, he should appeal in a federal court. Hopefully the feds would be unwilling to uphold Maryland's unconstitutional lower-level tyrannical ruling.I Shrugged wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:19 amThat's bad.

LOLDays ahead of New York City schools reopening, the city's principals union passed a vote of "no confidence" in Mayor Bill de Blasio and schools chancellor Richard Carranza over their handling of Covid-19 and asked the state department of education to take over the reopening process...
[...]
The principals union lashed out at Carranza and his team for demonstrating "a complete lack of respect" by not properly informing and advising NYC principals of the planned agreement, which they say will lead to additional challenges amid an already significant staff shortage (The staffing crisis forced de Blasio to delay the start of in-person classes for a second time last week.)

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanc ... 6/fulltextAs the world approaches 1 million deaths from COVID-19, we must confront the fact that we are taking a far too narrow approach to managing this outbreak of a new coronavirus. We have viewed the cause of this crisis as an infectious disease. All of our interventions have focused on cutting lines of viral transmission, thereby controlling the spread of the pathogen. The “science” that has guided governments has been driven mostly by epidemic modellers and infectious disease specialists, who understandably frame the present health emergency in centuries-old terms of plague. But what we have learned so far tells us that the story of COVID-19 is not so simple. Two categories of disease are interacting within specific populations—infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and an array of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions are clustering within social groups according to patterns of inequality deeply embedded in our societies. The aggregation of these diseases on a background of social and economic disparity exacerbates the adverse effects of each separate disease. COVID-19 is not a pandemic. It is a syndemic. . .
A syndemic is not merely a comorbidity. Syndemics are characterised by biological and social interactions between conditions and states, interactions that increase a person's susceptibility to harm or worsen their health outcomes. In the case of COVID-19, attacking NCDs will be a prerequisite for successful containment. As our recently published NCD Countdown 2030 showed, although premature mortality from NCDs is falling, the pace of change is too slow. The total number of people living with chronic diseases is growing. Addressing COVID-19 means addressing hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer.
I stick to my theory that poor = on food stamps, and when you're on food stamps you're steered toward a high carbohydrate, high-sugar, low-fat diet. That is the cheapest possible way to feed yourself. It also happens to be a nearly perfect prescription for metabolic syndrome and its associated constellation of conditions: obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, and all the rest.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:24 am You forgot being unequal, which I believe the authors are using as a synonym for poor. And as everyone knows, being poor makes you obese and sickly. So we should include all poor people in the group of Vulnerables with nursing home patients and bar them from leaving their homes until we have this virus under control. We need to flatten curves of all kinds.
Yes, but of course it's RAYCISS!! to point that out.WiseOne wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 10:08 amI stick to my theory that poor = on food stamps, and when you're on food stamps you're steered toward a high carbohydrate, high-sugar, low-fat diet.

Yup heard about that. New York Lockdown City. I wonder if DeBlasio and Cuomo are planning to open their own restaurant chains after they've put all the existing ones out of business.MangoMan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:47 pm NYC MAYOR: Non-Essential Businesses, Public and Private Schools, Indoor Dining to Close Wednesday in 9 Zip Codes if Approved by State - WNBC

Presymptomatic spread is a fact of life with virtually every virus. Not limited to COVID. It's true with flu as well. No one knows how much of a factor it really is though. You're most likely to be transmitting virus when you're symptomatic.
Are you joking? The recommendations of the CDC have been ignored from the get go. They did make recommendations. Your intrepid leader dismissed them and marginalized their leadership. He sewed seeds of doubt about everything. That is why response has been so haphazard and confused. What kind of a crazy revisionist history you writing here?WiseOne wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 8:59 amPresymptomatic spread is a fact of life with virtually every virus. Not limited to COVID.

The CDC should have been studying this question back in February and March. It's important, but it's probably the one point that we know least about. I'm increasingly annoyed at how they've flubbed this on virtually every level. Why, for example, didn't they put out a set of recommendations on how to handle government or other important functions involving large-ish groups, given their access to testing as well as the usual tools? The White House gathering was well under the limit currently in effect in some states.
Sorry to inform you of this, but he President Trump is also your leader - unless you are not a citizen of the United States of America.doodle wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:11 amAre you joking?

If the CDC made recommendations regarding large government/official functions that included specific guidelines on use of testing protocols, please link to that? I would be very interested to see it.doodle wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:11 amAre you joking? The recommendations of the CDC have been ignored from the get go. They did make recommendations.
