Can you spell Irony? Mexicans protest unchecked crossing of the US Border

Residents in Sonora, south of the US state of Arizona, have promised to block traffic into Mexico for a second day after closing a checkpoint for hours on Wednesday.
They wore face masks and held signs telling Americans to “stay at home”.
Mexico has fewer than 500 confirmed Covid-19 cases and the US over 65,000.
The border is supposed to be closed to all except “essential” business, but protesters said there has been little enforcement and no testing by authorities.

Now, instead of Wuhan Virus, imagine we had an equally contagious Ebola.

Pray this sucker does not mutate to a highly contagious and hardened virus.

That is a 65.5% mortality rate.  And we are losing our shit and sinking the country because we were not prepared for a virus with a 1.5% mortality rate.

 

 

If you are still trusting the Chinese in this Wuhan Virus crisis

The Spanish newspaper El País reported that microbiologists found that tests it bought from a Chinese company called Bioeasy could correctly identify virus cases only 30% of the time.

The error was discovered as Spain is in the grip of one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world, second only to Italy in the number of reported deaths.

Studies on the tests done in Spain found that they had only 30% sensitivity, meaning they correctly identify people with the virus only 30% of the time, sources told the Spanish newspaper El País.

Those sources told the newspaper that the tests should have a sensitivity of more than 80%. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says rapid tests for influenza are required to have 80% sensitivity.

Spain, Europe’s worst-hit country after Italy, says coronavirus tests it bought from China are failing to detect positive cases

 

LawDog’s commented in Facebook something like, if you till believe what comes out of China about this, you should have your license to adulting removed.

Miami-Dade County implements ‘safer-at-home’ order

Huh? Safer-At-Home?

Since they have already some stuff closed, mostly where people will gather in great numbers and be stupid, this is just a “Pretty please, with sugar on top: Stay home rather than be outside fucking around arguing about Cuba and the Marlins. KTHNX!” Imagine abuelita asking you to stay home, that’s it.

Here is the order if you want to read it

Alyssa Milano, please shut the heck up.

Once again our dear Sliding Into Oblivion Actress Alyssa Milano shows why Hollywood treat their women as disposable furniture:

That was yesterday and it would not have been so bad in her quest for the ultimate Trump Hate Tweet if it wasn’t because rather than trying to spend millions retrofitting buildings not designed to be hospitals, the president had announced 2 days earlier that the USNS Comfort was to be deployed to New York City and it is arriving next Monday.

That is a 1,000 bed hospital with all the goodies of a modern land-based brethren and staffed with 956 fully trained Navy hospital personnel.  And if that was not enough, it just finished having a full retrofit so basically what you have is a fully ready hospital that will start taking care of sick New Yorkers once it is anchor is dropped and the lines tied.

If Alyssa Milano wants to do something useful in this time of quarantine, she should do livestreaming strip teases and pole dancing in PornHub and have people send the dollar “tips” to their local homeless shelter. Other than that, she is pretty useless.
