You know, I've been sharp about people's xenophobic and even racist reactions to the origin of the 武汉病毒 and I've also objected to calling COVID-19 a "flu" because coronaviruses and flu are unrelated. /1
But the facts are that it originated in So I'd just like to clarify that this virus started in 中华人民共和国湖北省武汉市, and given the situation, it is my official position that the motherfucker started in 中国 China, and "Kung Flu" is hilarious./2
I further offer 功流感 (gong1 liu2 gan3) and a proposed internationalization./end

@SalsaPrice @NolteNC Fauci's written estimates are "a case fatality rate between 0.1 and 1 percent." 480,000 *deaths* by the end of the year is mathematically **very** suspect, although he's at least backed down from 480,000 deaths in the next two months, which is what it was a week ago.
@SalsaPrice @NolteNC 480,000 deaths from 38 today means lg(480,000-38) ~ 19 doublings, unconstrained by the end of the year. Nowhere, not even Hubei, has sustained doublings of deaths at that rate.
@SalsaPrice @NolteNC 150 million cases — or roughly one of every two Americans — means lg(150,000,000-1323) 27 doublings. Two points: that's a continued doubling every 13 days. In other words the assumption is that is will continue exponentially and unchecked for 290 days.

Okay, look around: who is freaking out the most, including posting wildly wrong "mathematics" about COVID-19? It seems to be three groups: Qanon, pushing the notion that the patent for a vaccine for a coronavirus that causes pig diarrhea is really a patent on a biosuperweapon/1
Second group is stock traders and skeevy finance sites, posting things predicting 500,000 deaths by, like, May, which simply can't be justified, and far left people insisting that the Administration should DO SOMETHING — and lying about what the CDC and NIH are actually doing./2
And now ask yourself the famous Latin question: cui bono?

@oliverdarcy Oh and if you guys were more careful about which anonymous sources you believe, you wouldn't appear 42 times on Sharyl Atkinson's list of 102 major press reporting failures on Trump.

@oliverdarcy Number 48 is particularly interesting: "CNN’s Oliver Darcy and others excerpted a Trump comment as if he had referred to immigrants or illegal immigrants generally as “animals.” Most outlets corrected their reports later ... Trump was referring to MS-14
@oliverdarcy Num 20 is good: CNN reported that Comey would testify he had never told Trump he wasn't being investigated. Comey in fact testified that he had. (Maybe a time you shouldn't trust an anonymous source?)

#COVID-19 has yet to be documented in #Yemen, but Abdel Ilah, who manages the factory that opened three days ago, is getting ready for its arrival. “#Coronavirus is knocking on the whole world’s door,” he said.

#YEMEN
The five-year conflict has killed more than 100,000 and unleashed a humanitarian crisis in which many others have died. Yemen’s shattered healthcare infrastructure and already weakened population suggest the virus could wreak more havoc if takes hold.

On both sides of the divide, #Yemen has stepped up measures to contain and mitigate against coronavirus should it appear, including screening and tracking arrivals.

In #Sanaa, a rush on face masks as awareness about the disease increases has

Pawprints Dog Rescue (UK)
@PDRescue
#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

It’s time to start a movement to get more people to Wear Fucking Masks. We need to dispel the myth that mask wearing in public is only for people in Asia. #WearAFuckingMask #WeekendProject wearafuckingmask.com 1/
Background: I lived through SARS in 2003 and was one of those people that didn’t wear a Fucking mask:

“Fucking masks can’t filter viruses. Fucking Masks are for Fucking cowards.”

I was Fucking wrong. I Fucking missed the point. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 2/
Fucking surgical masks keep you from spraying droplets on other people when you talk, cough or sneeze. These droplets might contain Fucking viruses which will Fucking infect other people. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 3/

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
