More science. Day 2 of the 12 Days of Experts


Dr Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specialising in Pulmonology, politician and former chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009 he called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic.

What he says:

Politicians are being courted by scientists…scientists who want to be important to get money for their institutions. Scientists who just swim along in the mainstream and want their part of it […] And what is missing right now is a rational way of looking at things.

We should be asking questions like “How did you find out this virus was dangerous?”, “How was it before?”, “Didn’t we have the same thing last year?”, “Is it even something new?”

That’s missing

 

[Ty Webb]

Yes, that is legal

Let’s revisit this in 60-90 days. I promise I won’t gloat.

OK. It sounds like you have a firm grasp on medical law.

New Orleans is on track to become the next coronavirus epicenter in the United States, dimming hopes that less densely populated and warmer-climate cities would escape the worst of the pandemic, and that summer months could see it wane.

The plight of New Orleans - with the world's highest growth rate in coronavirus cases - also raises fears that the city may become a powerful catalyst in spreading the virus across the south of the country. Authorities have warned the number of cases in New Orleans could overwhelm its hospitals by April 4.

New Orleans is the biggest city in Louisiana, the state with the third-highest case load of coronavirus in the United States on a per capita basis after the major epicenters of New York and Washington.

The growth rate in Louisiana tops all others, according to a University of Louisiana at Lafayette analysis of global data, with the number of cases rising by 30% in the 24 hours before noon on Wednesday. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a major federal disaster declaration for the state, freeing federal funds and resources.

Some 70% of Louisiana's 1,795 confirmed cases to date are in the New Orleans metro area.

Good news for Americans. No so good news for liberal cuckoo crowd from Dr. Birx:

 

[Bob Wells]

Don’t be surprised if you start seeing more Louisiana license plates. NewOrleans is getting hit hard, and those that can get out will get out.

Walton County needs to declare that only Walton County residents will be admitted to Walton County hospitals.

How exactly do you do that?

 

[30A Skunkape]

How exactly do you do that?

 

[PoppaJ]

How exactly do you do that?

I’m guessing assuming in his fantasy world where this is legal there would be a death panel making the decisions.

 

[Jenksy]

Simple. Write ordinance, Pompeo signs it. Put wall on the border and make Alabama pay for it. Barr signs off. Put a tollbooths on inbound bridges. Rudy collects tolls. Anyone without a Walton plate pays eleventy hundred dollars to get across. Mnuchin collects.

If everyone would STAY HOME we can get this behind us, save lives and reduce exposure to our friends, family, health care workers, first responders and all essential workers in so many grocery stores, restaurants and other work places.

Are you all working from home?
Stay safe!

Much respect and gratitude for our community members on the front line.
