Paragraph of the Day

This Absolute Bullshit Would Not Be Possible Without Propaganda
"How did we get here? How did we get to the point where the electoral contest to run the most powerful government on the planet is between a racist demented right-wing authoritarian warmongering rapist and another racist demented right-wing authoritarian warmongering rapist? How in the hell did this bullshit happen?"
I think the last sentence could be improved. How about, 
"How in the fuck did this bullshit happen?"

Social Distancing Scorecard

Preliminary German Study Shows a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate of About 0.4 Percent

This 0.4 percent is the lowest rate I've seen. Most estimates (wild-assed-guesses) are in the .8 to 1 percent range. If it is in this range then there must be a hell-of-a-lot more infected people out there.

According to this site, the current fatality rate is about 4% and has been creeping up even though we've been testing more.


to get that 4% into the 1% range, there would have to be 4 times as many infected, (currently 556,346 cases, 22,057 deaths). That would mean about 2.2 million infected to get a 1% rate (22,057 / 2,200,000 = 1%). 5.5 million infected would get to a 0.4% rate (22,057 / 5,500,000 = 1%).
