I think the person who said that confused Trudeau’s wife with Emmanuel Macron’s wife.
Yes. Got one French blooded twat confused for another
But didn’t he start banging his wife when he was 14 and she was 40?

I think it was something like that. If memory serves, she was his teacher.

I spend a fair bit of time in Europe, although never Italy. 4 hours may be an exaggeration but the concept isn’t. Service (driven in part by non-tipping) tends to be slower and people make an evening out of going out to dinner. In the US the name of the game is turning tables. Usually annoys visitors coming in this direction that the servers roll straight into pushing the check instead of waiting for the post-dinner discussion to take place.
I guess I can add another one on the “down” side for the US vs elsewhere. If you go out alone in most places you grab a table for 1. In the US the standard for solo travelers is to grab a seat at the bar and eat there, which puts you in closer contact.

Still can’t believe this thread isn’t stickied

How come our media, which is generally insanely good at finding out anything they want about federal govt, has not found out and disclosed the name of the cdc official who didn’t accept WHO tests?
Also, for the poster who said earlier testing would have prevented all these closures, I disagree. The closures are happening even in the nations with robust testing

This is why I don't doubt those 100,000 cases estimate in Ohio. The fact that there has barely been any testing doesn't mean there are a low amount of cases it just means the government has been horrible at mobilizing a response/containment.
If there are that many cases and we arent hearing of a frick ton of deaths coming from ohio then this thing really isn't anything to worry about.

Cancel culture hit me today. But we rebounded and survived. I have the Covid but I promise not to lick anyone’s faces. Goodnight all.

Yep.
If there are truly 100,000 cases in Ohio, that is a good sign because there have been zero reports about overburdened hospitals in Ohio

You are thinking of Emmanuel Macron.

Ell if you’re in Louisiana you’ll have bad luck getting tested unless you’re 73, on your death bed, and your social security number is divisible by 6. At least I think that’s the criteria we’re using?

I’m pretty sure I’ve had this virus twice since December. I’m fine. Alcohol kills it right?

That really is great, but I'm more afraid of the economic hole we've dug for ourselves than the actual virus at this point. What a thin veneer of civility we live behind.
I truly believe there is more to learn from the sociological aspect of this than the pathological at this point.

Something along the lines they started fricking when he was like 14 and she was 40
That is Macron

Bingo. Portfolios are plummeting right now. 401k's are taking a massive hit.
Posted on 3/12/20 at 11:21 pm to RB10
I am wondering if I should shift my entire 401k into TP futures and Netflix.

quote:I'm going to keep repeating this every time I see someone fearmonger about this death rate shite.
guess what dude. if everyone in the world got infected with that death rate
= 255 milli people dead.
The percentages we see in the 2-4-whatever % range are based on confirmed cases. Number of deaths divided by number who tested positive. The top number (deaths due to coronavirus) is almost assuredly very accurate. Surely we haven't caught them all, but the majority of deaths actually due to coronavirus have been counted. It's the bottom number that we have absolutely no idea at this point what it should be in order to determine the actual fatality rate, but what we DO know is that using the number of confirmed cases is an absolute bare minimum number. And given that it is the denominator here, that means the 2-3% figure thrown around is the absolute MAX fatality rate.
It should be obvious at this point, however, that the actual number of infected far, FAR exceeds the number that have tested positive. I would ballpark it at a factor of 10, putting the death rate more in the .2% range.
Of course I could be wrong, but I would bet a decent amount of money that once we get more data, the actual fatality rate will be closer to .2% than 2%.

hey dude. hope you're right on that and I agree.

A common sense sighting. Refreshing.

Kork, Dr. Fauci and other experts/orgs believe it to be around 1% death rate
