That's just that piece. The medical neglect piece is staggering. My wife goes back to doing in-home visits in Philly on June 1. She will have one N95 mask, paper masks to wear over the N95, gloves, and hand sanitizer. She will take all the precautions she's trained in but we approach the summer assuming we will be "hot" at some point, which may limit our interactions with some of our many parents and aunt/uncles. Kind of hoping we get it early and get over it so we can feel like we're not spreaders. Her team has been told to not expect vacations to be granted this fall/winter as they expect case increases to rise when flu season returns. They're being told to live it up this summer!

What's funny, well it's not funny but I have "friends" on my FB. And many of them are solidly on the "Stay at home" crowd to the point of social shaming. So usually every couple days I post some news on my page. News that isn't the typical top line hysterical inducing stuff you get from the mainstream but more in depth sort of things. The sort of things that I think are important and that aren't shared enough. It's amazing to me how many people are not even willing to read anything that could be viewed as positive or the detriments of the shut down orders. They refuse to read it or even acknowledge it. I know this because I post it and they reply back within seconds meaning they don't care to read what's inside it. For the mainstream media they have conditioned their viewers to negativity surrounding the virus. They know that their viewers don't want to read or hear about these other effects because it goes against the confirmation bias that they have been fed for the better part of the past 10 weeks. In short - it's not good business. Which is why I have been saying for many years now but even more apparent now than ever before, the media is a broken institution. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelotonBillsFan Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Interesting to note 4 of the counties now hardest hit are run by far-right/authoritarian type leaders: US, UK, Russia and Brazil.

Spousal & child abuse is up. Every thinking person predicted this and knows it will continue to get worse until the lockdowns end. And it'll get worse with the onset of the second great depression.

Everyone can be fooled some of the time, and some people can be fooled all of the time (looking at you, Trumpers).

shoshin Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Spain estimate: 5% have Covid antibodies. Quote Preliminary results from a nationwide coronavirus antibody study showed on Wednesday that about 5% of the overall Spanish population had contracted the novel virus - about 10 times more than the tally of diagnosed cases suggests. ... The study, carried out by the Carlos III Health Institute and the National Statistics Institute, began on April 27. It tested some 60,000 people for the presence of antibodies generated to fight off the coronavirus. Madrid, one of the worst-affected regions, showed a prevalence of 11.3%. Soria and Cuenca, in the central regions of Castilla y Leon and Castilla La Mancha, are the provinces with the highest prevalence, with 14.2% and 13.5% respectively. Not as high as I would hope but in line with what's estimated here (2-5%) in many places--pretty big sample size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
