    And this dumbass "expert" Fauci been working since Reagan era, 40+ years and still hasn't cured anything... like 12 people die a day in a fucking city of 2 million and everyone is in lockdown.

    Fauci says coronavirus tests need to double before lockdowns are lifted

    Dr. Anthony Fauci has warned that coronavirus testing needs to at least double before lockdowns are lifted — even as some states have already started re-opening parts of their economies.

    The US currently gets through about 1.5 million to 2 million tests a week, which America’s top infectious disease expert says is still nowhere near enough to get a safer grip on the contagion’s spread.

    “We probably should get up to twice that as we get into the next several weeks, and I think we will,” Fauci told the National Academy of Sciences annual meeting, according to Politico.

    The White House coronavirus task force member said that adequate testing should “get those who are infected out of society so that they don’t infect others,” according to the report.

    • let me guess, some bullshit alt right fake media source you read is lining up the Fauci-sucks narrative for Trumps inevitable firing...inteliboy
    • Doesn't take any effort to see Fauci is is bureaucrat and doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. He fukin changes his mind like the wind.robotron3k
    • 'Windi' is a response to unavoidable changes in the environment, so is perhaps not the best metaphor - you'd expect a scientist to change under pressureNairn
    • However your Presidente changes his mind with every second tweet, so - again - perhaps not the best facet to criticise in someone.Nairn
    • Agree, PT is no expert. But "expert" Fauci loves the cameras and says "testing & antibodies" while "expert" Brix says we cant rely on either. Da fuq?robotron3k
    • What was Fauci prediction before 2 months ago? 256k dead, 1.7-2.2 million infected. Then it was 100-250k, then around 100k. GYFO scrawny fear monger like Gates.robotron3k
    • Only anti science fuckwits would say that a man who’s dedicated 4 decades to his profession is a dumbass and question his expertisemonospaced
    • So he suggests more testing before we lighten up. Why would you question this? The whole planet agrees except for science denying American conservative retards.monospaced
    • Like you, bobo. And your pathetic MGTOW harem, hayoth and deathbobo. You all represent the antithesis of progress you backward nitwits.monospaced
    • "40+ years and [he] still hasn't cured anything" is one of the dumber things you've written here. You live in world completely detached from reality.

    Just thinking this morning.

    If ever there was a moment of opportunity to reshape our future to something more sustainable, this is that moment.

    Let's hold the assholes in politics to account. Don't fall into the trap of letting them resort to the simple ideas from decades-old grade school textbooks. On this site and most other forums there's a dumb argument brewing about socialism vs capitalism as though either of those terms have any relevance outside of theory. Don't fall into the trap of keeping the same dead argument alive.

    We have to be bold, take risks, shake things up. No doubt someone here will accuse me of communism, but that's not at all what any of us should want. No Bernie socialism, no Neo-liberalism, no tech-bro saviors either.

    I don't know what the answer is, but that's okay we've got at least a year and maybe two or three to think about the future we want to see in the world. Let's all do our part. And let's listen a little more carefully to educated people who are thinking outside the current boxes.

    • Murder 80% of those in charge. Political, financial, media, global manufacturing. ~1000 lives. The world would change overnight.imbecile
    • I mean, report their “suicides”.imbecile
    • Not much to reset when half the population votes for t rump and the other half is left to vote with bidden?grafician
    • and no, we don't have a year or two, the situation is so volatile rn in the world, no prediction is valid anymore, look at oil futures!grafician
    • you can't even predict 1 month ahead lolgrafician

    • btw, nb, watch that film "Independence Day 2" to see the world united after really desperate times and what they accomplishedgrafician
    • this plague is not a big enough catalyst unfortunately - it rocked the boat a little, but will not be able to sink itgrafician
    • "just a flu" is about right what most ppl think rngrafician
    • the real catalyst is actually climate change, because we see all these plagues as a "symptom" of climate change - THE catalyst and we won't make it after 2100grafician

    Over 3 mil cases worldwide

    Over 800k recovered

    207k dead worldwide

    Almost 1 mil cases in the USA

    Over 55k dead in the USA (some dead by ingesting bleach)

    3 new cases from China - 2 of them are "imported" cases ofc

    Italy and Spain way less deaths (lowest since 1 month ago)

    Most European countries preparing to ease the pandemic restrictions.

    • can't believe the real numbers in UK are not far off US.fadein11

    • As for mortalities in care homes and other off-reported domains, I'd presume that most countries are as equally inept at cataloguing figures in real timeNairn

    • So if the numbers here in the UK aren't real, who are you implying is misrepresenting them - the reporting body is broadly the NHS?Nairn
    • Our figures do not include deaths outside of hospital, other countries do. NHS figures are not wrong, total number of deaths are.fadein11

    It seems to be many factories and building suppliers re-opening in the UK today (with distancing measures in place) in response to calls from contractors who believe they can socially distance on sites and a lot of small contractors (builders, landscapers and the like) set to follow suit on Wednesday... The government says there's no way to know when lockdown will end but all the science shows that limiting the movement of people has little effect (over moderate social distancing, good hygiene) if people congregate in workplaces and shops. I wouldn't say we've 'cleared' shit but definitely entering the 'Controlled Avalanche' stage of capitalist pandemic management - the accompanying community enforced social lockdown little more than penance to the virus at this stage.

    • Yup, I'm one of those relieved small contractors - my ply/mdf supplier and plastics supplier both opened up again today, which is a relief (for me)Nairn
    • Bojo's cocaine supplier has reopened too by the looks of it. "this is the moment of maximum risk" slide on Boris... you and your antibodies ;Dkingsteven
    • Unfortunately most people don't really social distance themselves, have general bad hygiene and eat like shit.utopian
