Elephant Mass Death Could Be Caused by New Pathogen That May Pass to Humans

This story is creeper though

Not mine.

If she wants a career path without a college degree she should take dick for money. On or off screen.

Hopefully she’ll meet the same fate.

The Trump Administration has mandated that hospitals sidestep the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send critical information about COVID-19 hospitalizations and equipment to a different federal database


We really can’t sit and watch this happen, can we? Call your local hospitals and tell them not to comply. He can’t mandate to local hospitals. This is ****ing insane.

Megan Thee Stallion says she was shot in Los Angeles, expects to recover

Shot several times in the foot?

Also wtf I thought this bitch was a smokeshow 30-something but she's actually a kind of rough 25. Weird.

I don't think they had animatronic dinosaurs before Christ.

Pretty sure the current consensus among scientists is that all the animatronic dinosaurs drowned in the flood.

Incorrect. Noah saved at least two of them.

Yep, this is definitely the most worrying development to come out of the US yesterday, and I'm surprised that the mainstream media is allowing itself to get distracted with other stories.

The Trump admin having a stranglehold on the pandemic statistics going out to the public and the CDC will surely tip the US into a quagmire of untrustable pronouncements about the progress of the virus. If you thought that hearing about the ever-rising cases in Florida was bad, wait til your only source of information is a Trump-adjusted Sharpie graph showing that Florida actually has zero cases, that it was all a Fauci hoax.

I've seen lots of reports in the mainstream media about case numbers but not much about deaths. Am I looking in the wrong places?

Maybe you're looking at the wrong time, SoundgardenRocks: the media focuses on what is spiking today, and the spike in deaths will probably not arrive for another week or so.
It is depressingly predictable:
Reports about parties and bars: two weeks later, reports about surges in cases. In two weeks time, I'd expect reports about surges in deaths - unless by that time Trump is able to declare that there have been no deaths because "coronavirus cases are 99% harmless".

In fact that's probably why the Trump admin is moving now to censor the statistics about CV: they know that very soon the actual death count will be so high that the GOP will have problems pushing the lie that "America is in a good place."

773 people died of it yesterday, in the United States.

I called our local hospital concerned citizens PR line and told them I hope the refuse Trump’s mandate and the lady sounded like she thought I was crank. I could hear her southern pro-trumpiness over the phone.

Hospitals simply cannot comply with an order to sever ties with the CDC. It’s not just covid. Respect for the CDC’s earned authority protects us from all health dangers.

Also check your local media and government sites for statistics locally.

Thanks OH. For some reason, a tendency I've found is that when I click on many links related to cases, I'm not always presented with a broad view of the deaths (sometimes the deaths are very contextualized - given state, given country, etc. but I want to see how the numbers look on a timeline).

Likewise, the same goes for when I click on links about deaths.

CDC looks like a good place to get the stats I'm looking for. Unfortunately, my news viewing habits are very ingrained, I'll have to implement the CDC into my habits whenever I'm interested in Covid stats.

That got a hearty chuckle out of me.

Russia trying to hack and steal COVID-19 vaccine data, says Britain

Boo ****ing hoo.

Actually, they are wanting to bypass the CDC completely.
The excuse they will use is that the CDC is not doing an effective job.
Well, it’s not as effective as it could be simply because they
haven’t updated their very old systems, so there’s a kernel of truth there.
It’s an old GOP trick: defund and generally screw up the system
from within and then get rid of it because it isn’t effective or doesn’t work at all.
That’s part of the reason you’re seeing the dismantling of various governmental areas with these people.

Shame on them for not making it open source. Ffs.

Gates or Bezos or whoever should give them a few billion dollars like ****ing TODAY

So in fact worse than I thought, rostasi. As the US heads into a health crisis that no-one can see the limits of, the chance of getting clear info and guidance has just disappeared. It's like putting on a blindfold as you head out on to the freeway...

Well done!

Times two.

Same for the WHO.

At least the WHO has international backing and is not beholden to the Trump Admin for its survival. It's the CDC which is vulnerable right now.

America has a responsibility to fund the WHO no strings attached.

But I hear you. Pretty sure we’re on the same page.

Poor guy loses potential work because of conspiracy nutjobs.

Coronavirus data has already disappeared after Trump administration shifted control from CDC

It does mention that the Johns Hopkins info will still be available
(until Trump figures out a way to get rid of that).

Sorry, I'm missing the connection.

Just even people supposedly on the left saying that’s taking things too far.

How can I say it and not be censored? Trump and his entire family deserve things usually associated with the Middle Ages.

Uhhh....they deserve to buy indulgences from the Pope?

I heard Oliver Thorn from Philosophy Tube say this on a podcast about British politics and I think it's totally true in America. People don't like to hear that politics is life and death. People like to treat it as a casual hobby and therefore being mean about it is uncalled for. Even if the president isn't doing the best job about the pandemic that isn't any reason to incite meanness over it. It's not like the status quo we all love and worship so much could ever be so perverted that our elected leaders could literally be choosing to let us die for their own personal benefit after all. No, it's all just differences of opinion and that's that.
