Mr Paul was among eight Senate Republicans who voted against a bill that provided more than $US100 billion ($173 billion) to boost testing for the coronavirus and guarantee paid sick leave for millions of workers.
He was also the only Republican senator to oppose an earlier bill authorising $US8.3 billion ($14.4 billion) for the initial response to the pandemic.
The Sunday Times reported that those present at the private engagement claimed Mr Cummings had outlined the Government strategy as: ‘Herd immunity, protect the economy and if that means some pensioners die, too bad.’

So all of the people who died were going to die anyway and/or they didn't actually die from COVID-19 but whatever they already had that the virus made worse.But Prof Ricciardi added that Italy’s death rate may also appear high because of how doctors record fatalities.
“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.
“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three,” he says.
Isn't it? You always bring up "tranny workshop" like it's supposed to upset me even though I've mentioned multiple times that it isn't a mechanic business.SuperJail Warden wrote:

He is old, and missing parts of a lung. High risk. Apparently just before he got the diagnosis he was in the Senate gym and having lunch with other senators.
he got tested almost immediately as soon as he suspected something. then he went home.Rand Paul is such a piece of shit. If he was tested and knew he could be infected, he should have been in self quarantine. It's funny his selfish libertarianism might get his party members sick.

Clearly not a crisis.
over here in fortress socialist europe, all the companies and private sector take their cue from the government/public health bodies. they advise, the businesses follow.RTHKI wrote:
Ohio is going stay at home except essential stuff at midnight tonight. Apparently my company makes enough healthcare and food stuff we're considered essential. They're writing a letter with the help of CDC saying as much for employees to carry but if they don't get one by the time they leave tonight people have said aren't coming in tomorrow.
One person went home Thursday with covid symptoms and hasn't gotten a test yet. He is now in a company ordered quarantine along with 3 he interacted with. Temperature guns have been ordered and anyone with >100.4F will be sent home.
Looking that way, best of luck. Its surreal how an infection can putter along at a low level before it explodes, but then we've had three months warning.uziq wrote:

Is this still your view? Might have been better to risk the economic self-harm and accusations of racism eh?quarantining an entire country and cancelling all flights is a great act of economic self-harm; epidemiologically speaking in these circumstances, it hasn't done anything. italy had the strictest measures on china and yet quickly developed the biggest breakout in all of europe. so those were clearly great tactics dilderp. you should tell the public health chiefs what they're doing wrong.
this whole discussion is meaningless, anyway, as the australia–china comments were made at a very different stage. every few days the situation has changed and become more complex. complaining about the 'racist' stuff at this point is so much blah blah blah
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr … squanderedWe had a choice early on in the UK’s trajectory to go down the South Korean path of mass testing, isolating carriers of the virus (50% of whom are asymptomatic), tracing all contacts to ensure they isolate as well, and at the same time taking soft measures to delay the spread. Instead, we watched and waited, and whether it was academic navel-gazing, political infighting, a sense of British exceptionalism, or a deliberate choice to minimise economic disruption over saving lives, we have ended up in a position where we are now closer to the Italy scenario than anticipated, and are faced with taking more and more drastic measures.
Police can enforce it here but our governor begged businesses to do the right thing so the the police wouldn't need to do anything. Did threaten revoking business licenses.uziq wrote:
