There really IS no stopping transmission. Keep washing your hands, but strengthen your immune system. Good food. Good rest. Good fitness.

When enough people are immune, spread will slow.

Trump Demands Barr Investigate The Media’s Coronavirus Coverage

Trump has asked Attorney General William Barr to launch a Department of Justice investigation into the media’s coronavirus coverage.

Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair reported:

The problem is that the crisis fits into his preexisting and deeply held worldview—that the media is always searching for a story to bring him down. Covid-19 is merely the latest instance, and he’s reacting in familiar ways. “So much FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted this morning. “He wants Justice to open investigations of the media for market manipulation,” a source close to the White House told me.

Trump is also frustrated with his West Wing for not getting a handle on the news cycle. “He’s very frustrated he doesn’t have a good team around him,” a former White House official said. On Friday, he forced out acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and replaced him with former House Freedom Caucus chair Mark Meadows. Trump thought the virus was “getting beyond Mick,” a person briefed on the internal discussions said.

Sad that "he doesn’t have a good team around him." What cunt hired these people?

Another totally normal thing that totally normal presidents do.

Fuck that virus. I'm in the process of buying a more recent model car and can't even give my older one away.

The American government has not got a clue about numbers because there is no government run testing system. Most tests are carried out privately and results are not recorded and because of the pressures to keep on working many people are walking around that should be self-isolating.

Italy has some 60 million people. With the lock down, my guess is that infections will stop at around 50 000.

You can do your own calculations for your area.

It may be less than 50 000, as the March data shows now one bar with less than the previous

An acquaintance, who works with the government, has been going in to work despite being sick (flu-like symptoms)

If they can't take time off during this kind of time, what hope is there for people with lesser benefits?

I doubt there is any chance to arrest transmission. Efforts will be better spent elsewhere.
