Ongoing coronavirus happenings

there’s the general “got here”, rehashing how the incompetent person in the white house got elected, and then there’s the specific “got here” of the coronavirus outbreak. the former is definitely in part due to facebook, the latter is entirely the fault of trump and the republican conservative establishment that’s been arguing against experts, science, and good governence for years.

Less than two weeks ago, Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera published the results of an informal study that appeared to show that, in some regions of the country, non-coronavirus deaths were rising at an alarming rate alongside confirmed COVID-19 deaths — that the total death count was up as much as sixfold from previous years. Those deaths officially attributed to the coronavirus accounted for barely a quarter of the increase.

And Italy isn’t alone. In Spain, El País obtained a study that showed mortality rates in some regions had almost doubled, with only a fraction of the increase officially attributed to COVID-19.

Yup.

Quite a lot of the sinophobic conspiracy stuff flooding the media at the moment appears to be sourced to a combination of Falun Gong and Radio Free Asia (AKA the CIA/State Department).

Checking the Epoch Times’ “Trump” page provides a good index for how the right sees the US response to the Coronavirus:

Only a month ago, the message from the Maritime Hospice Care industry was “come on in, the water’s fine.”
