OT 100% NOT the Official Off-Topic/Politics/Corona Thread

I don't see a problem with this, assuming there was no targeted effort to remove voters from a particular party, race, or other easily identifiable group that might benefit one candidate over the other. Which, from all available evidence that I've seen, was not the case.

Abrams was the one who funded the entire lawsuit, and lost in court. In addition to that more votes were cast in that election than any other gubernatorial election in state history, so if Kemp suppressed the vote he did a shitty job cause I had to wait for an hour in line to vote that day...

everyone know that sunlight and UV light does help kill the Corona virus...it's not the end all be all but it does help...so all you boomers out there break out your old UV lights (peace posters optional)

Maher getting owned with facts and calmness of an ex Navy Seal & US Rep Dan Crenshaw

View embedded media

lol Maher sitting there with a straight face acting like he’s not happy the economy is shut down. Acting like he didn’t say he’s rooting for a recession.

I think it's obvious states need to be given more money

or they can use some sense and open back up. Not sure where everyone thinks this magical money is coming from.

What experts say: The sun’s UV light cannot kill the coronavirus, and concentrated UV light should not be used to kill the virus

The claim holds little truth. Experts advised against using concentrated UV light to prevent or treat the coronavirus and do not recommend going in the sunlight to kill the virus. Only levels of UV light much higher than what is in sunlight can kill viruses, experts said, and the levels that kill viruses can cause irritation to human skin and should be avoided.

Pokrath Hansasuta, assistant professor of virology at Chulalongkorn University, explained what happens to AFP Fact Check. “Ultraviolet is able to kill COVID-19 if it is exposed to the concentrated UV ray in a certain amount of time and distance,” she said. “However, that level of UV exposure is harmful to human’s skin. Most likely, it will be in the light bulb or lamp as the natural UV from the sun is not strong enough to kill it.

Neither sunlight nor UV light is listed as a preventive measure on the websites of the WHO or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is some evidence to suggest the spread of the virus may slow down as the weather gets warmer. That may lead some to incorrectly suggest sunlight as a tip to stay healthy.

Time magazine reported on new research that has not yet been peer-reviewed that suggested the possibility of a connection between heat and the rate of the spread of the coronavirus, but experts concluded the research is still early and not definitive.

Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in an NPR interview in February that it's unclear how the coronavirus will react to heat or sunlight.

"I think it's premature to assume that," Messonnier said. "We haven't been through even a single year with this pathogen."

Our ruling: False

Friedman referred to sunlight as “virus destroying sunlight.” This is FALSE. There is no evidence proving sunlight kills the coronavirus. Only highly concentrated UV rays are reported to kill viruses, and the World Health Organization advises against using UV rays because they can damage skin.

 

[minnesotahog]

I’m not a doc but if it’s transmitted like the flu, then common sense tells me UV does kill it, like the flu.

That's the lib's answer for everything. Have the government pay for it.

Do u listen to Alex Jones? I hadn’t listened in like 5 years until the other day. Glad I did. But I can guarantee you’ve never listened. Watch his Joe Rogan interview where his crazy shit is fact checked real time. He’s more of a reporter than anyone at CNN or MSNBC

Did you ask the same question when the govt passed a republican-drafted bill giving almost a trillion dollars to corps, small biz, states and individuals? What's changed between now and then? Congrats on being older than me and having a business degree? maybe? idk.

Aw, come on Nikki. You know corporate socialism is fine. Nevermind the average taxpayer will be out $18,000 to fund all this. We got a $1,200 check, right? We should be ecstatic with that and "eat cake."

Wait...this is lunacy.

Please tell me I read that wrong, because i think they're saying that UV cant kill the virus once you have it. Well no shyt.

But the V-D your body makes from sunlight will help prevent you from getting it.

Also, the UV kills the virus OUTSIDE the body.

Oh and drinking bleach wont kill it either.

“Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to have received food stamps at some point in their lives”.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...cs-and-demographics-of-food-stamp-recipients/

"Overall, a Pew Research Center survey conducted late last year found that about one-in-five Americans (18%) has participated in the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. About a quarter (26%) lives in a household with a current or former food stamp recipient.

Of these, about one-in-five (22%) of Democrats say they had received food stamps compared with 10% of Republicans. About 17% of political independents say they have received food stamps."

Like republicans are going to admit to being on food stamps. Surveys also said Trump had no chance at getting elected lol.

Massive study out of Massachusetts just released:

TLDR:

• If you are under the age of 60, you have a 0.1% chance of being HOSPITIALIZED!!! if you are infected.
  • [(1+9+20+31+55)/100,000]*100
• If you are under 80, you have a 0.114% chance of dying...if you get the disease...
  • [(0+0+1+2+6+22+83)/100,000]*100

@jdm889010 @hpharri1994 @HogPocket9455 @mcbmd @nikkichavanelle ...am I reading these numbers incorrectly? TIA.

Edit: I did a shitty job of translating what they meant and I think those numbers are related to MA population...not sure...don't like their wording.

That article fails to point out another large factor. These are almost entirely rural states. Generally speaking a lack of industry equals a lack of money which equates to more people on welfare.
