To state the obvious (to anyone with a brain) this is the most politicized thing ever and the sh!thead Dems are politicizing everything.

How would the MSM be treating Covid if the president was a Dem? Fox would be faulting the Prez. CNN, NYT, MSNBC etc would all be praising the Prez's response and the death toll would be exactly the fvcking same as it is today.

The MSM and the majority of politicians on both sides are corrupt as hell.

You idiots act as though we are the only country affected in the world.

This virus isn’t a dem vs repub thing.

It is a corporate control vs. civil rights "thing".

Tell that to Italy and New York you daft trump supporting racist

If you are so upset about this virus disrupting your life, you should be out here promoting mask wearing. If everyone wore masks and didn't make stupid decisions about sitting in crowds, the virus would fade away and we could go back to normal...which seems to be the goal of the anti-masker trolls.

Mask wearing = return to normal, not the other way around.

Bro, take your liberal out of a bunch and go to reddit! Or just go chill at the YMCA up against a glory hole. Maybe a DNC convention would work as well? You would likely find someone who would gladly service you there. Wouldn't surprise me in the least bit.

The only people dems accept are ones that think the same as them. The least tolerant people in America are democratic.

Oh ye of great incompetence, simply wearing a mask does not prevent the transmission of this virus. The virus absolutely would not just magically disappear. Did you watch and pay attention to Canada? They were stuck in quarantine for far longer, and the virus never went away up there.

Dems stay home, and remain incompetent and ineffectual.

The PCR procedure - which is a procedure not a test - does not test for a virus, and certainly does not test for a covid19 virus. The PCR test was developed in 1980 by Kary Mullis, i.e. 40 years ago! long before the imaginary covid19 virus was invented by the vaccination corporations.

The genome that's being amplified is a portion of human genetic material which every human has. Thus with enough amplification and/or enough repeated testing, EVERY human being on earth will eventually test positive - for being HUMAN, not for having a virus. This is why people can have consecutive tests that are either negative or positive, and then again negative.

Right on, dunes runner. There are some very well-connected attorneys, with lots of help from some very well-established medical and research professionals, who are putting together cases right now against the politicians and other "authorities" who have unnecessarily locked down populations and cost millions their livelihoods and businesses. If this gets legs, and I hope it does, some heads will roll. There is a lot of explanatory background on these ineffective inaccurate tests resulting in so many false positives, too. It is a crime, what has been perpetrated against humanity around the world.

Agreed. I love the podcast, Jon’s writing, and all the main page articles- but the cesspool that is these boards keeps me from taking that final step to donate. I hate the idea that I’m supporting the boards where this effluvia non-running content festers.

Negative on Thursday, Friday and today. Coaching tonight.

It’s time to get back to living people.

We’ve learned a ton since this China virus attacked us.

The death rate is now minuscule so let’s start living again. Of course the Dems and the media want to drag this thing out indefinitely. Screw them.

This is an all-time worst post & shame on the brojos for having this thread trending & spreading misinformation.

Have you been paying attention to college football & the nfl? I'm gonna walk past the fact that these are kids not being paid and being asked to go out and make their universities money during the pandemic. People are testing positive left & right. Games are being canceled. Individual cases vary in severity.

This was the exact right thing to do. So it was a false positive. Fine. But Saban should be nowhere near a football field exposing others if he contracted the virus.

Also -- the china virus -- leave your racism someplace else. I know you & some others feel enabled to post vitriol like this on this website but hopefully the culture is shifting on here. It shouldn't just be a safe space for this kind of nonsense.

The virus is real. It should be taken seriously. We can still live life & keep people employed responsibly. There needs to be some balance if your stance is that this thing isn't serious & you don't need to wear a mask.

Chris Christie spent a week in the ICU and may have died but for being able to leverage his political position to be able to take an experimental monoclonal antibody. Christie regrets flouting COVID 19 guidelines and is now urging everyone to wear a mask.

I understand that this single incident of the virus is meaningless. But COVID deniers think that the Saban story means that we all need to run around without masks and let the virus ravage society. That is telling.

If you get the replication to less than 1 the virus fades away. Without masks the average person will spread it to about 2.5 people with a few people being super spreaders. Take away the super spreader events this means some lockdown measures are in place.

After that getting the virus under control that means having falling numbers. Things that can accomplish that include wearing masks, washing hands, keeping some social distancing. Replication will fall to less than one and the virus starts to fade away. These aren't 100% effective but they do get that replication under 1 so the virus is passed on to less people every cycle.

Get testing in order and get your contact tracers going. You can then chase down the remaining cases by testing everyone that has it and has been in contact with someone who has it.

Its getting beyond old. Whitmer is an idiot. We can all agree on this.

The 16 states with the highest rates, per capita, of covid cases all voted for Trump in 2016., Yes, all 16. They emulate his skepticism and it is making them sick. And Michigan, where Gov. Whitmer's life is in danger because she wants people to wear masks, has less than half the per capita rate of most of those states. Those threats are insane.

If 220,000 deaths is okay, then why did 58,000 in Vietnam - 1/4 of the covid toll - over ten years, not 8 months, tear this country apart?

If she is an idiot, what does that make Trump and those 16 Trump states where they are doing far worse than Michigan? 220,000 - over four times the toll of Vietnam - and going up fast - , in 10 months, not 10 years, but that's okay with you.

How are they doing worse than Michigan?

4,500,700 compared to 0, looks like the Trump states are doing much better.

No idea where your numbers come from - or what they are counting.

If you click on the link/story I provided, it shows that the covid positive rates, per capita, in those 16 Trump states are far worse than in Michigan.

The PCR procedure developed by Kary Mullis in 1980 amplifies human genetic material. It doesn't test for a virus, and it doesn't show any covid positive rates, so your source is making things up that aren't true.

The united states has now performed performed more tests than any other country except for China (who conveniently performed exactly 160,000,000 tests. If you believe China's covid numbers you're an idiot). The U.S. has performed just under 130 MILLION tests, no European country has performed over 30 Million. If slightly less than 1% of these tests are a false positive then we have one million cases that are complete bogus. That would be more than 10% of our cases.

I'm no expert on their protocols, but I know that tons of tests are from people driving up to CVS, Walgreens, and other drive up testing places. They take these tests. They potentially get a positive result and are never heard from them again. They go down as a statistic whether it was a false positive or not. Many of them won't ever take a covid test again and get lost in the statistics as someone who never recovered from it. The death rate is falling well below 1% as time goes on. Worldwide only 1% of cases are more than mild. This doesn't mean 1% die, it means 1% actually require some sort of hospital medical attention for a bit.

WHO has said a couple weeks ago that they estimate 10% of the world has had it. That would mean 770 Million people have had it. But most of them go under the radar because they don't get sick enough to go get tested. So the true death rate is well under 1%. Is it higher than the flu? Yes, probably a little big higher. But not worth shutting everything down.
