Too late now. CHUD nation is calling fake news on every COVID case now. Manufactured virus this, liberal conspiracy that.

I hate all of this. We had a chance and we fucked it up. No, wait...

:thankstrump: fucked it up.
I don't see why a country can't do a timed pause to chop the numbers down significantly, like food/gas/medical reasons for travel outside of one's house just doing :mahtroy: things from October 10th to 24th for example. Or just leave everything status quo but step up PPE requirements with fines or something. Both actions would change the direction if the daily count.

The connection between vitamin D and other respiratory illnesses is well known. According to the World Health Organization, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to pneumonia, tuberculosis and bronchiolitis.

Back in May, CTV News reported that researchers in Edmonton were preparing a study that would look at what, if any, benefit there would be in boosting vitamin D levels in the bloodstream of COVID-19 patients.

Other research out of New Orleans found 100 per cent of its sickest COVID-19 patients were deficient in vitamin D, while researchers in Ireland found COVID-19 deaths and infections are lower in countries where vitamin D is added to food or where people are encouraged to take vitamin D supplements, such as Finland and Norway.

I agree with :dat: concept, and why flu season starts making its rounds right when the temps drop and there is dismal sunlight.

Going to hit the 200,000 mark shortly. That's close to half of the American casualties in WWII...in 6 months.

But good job keeping that mass panic to a minimum.

"A heavily criticized recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month about who should be tested for the coronavirus was not written by C.D.C. scientists and was posted to the agency’s website despite their serious objections, according to several people familiar with the matter as well as internal documents obtained by The New York Times.

The guidance said it was not necessary to test people without symptoms of Covid-19 even if they had been exposed to the virus. It came at a time when public health experts were pushing for more testing rather than less, and administration officials told The Times that the document was a C.D.C. product and had been revised with input from the agency’s director, Dr. Robert Redfield.

But officials told The Times this week that the Department of Health and Human Services did the rewriting and then “dropped” it into the C.D.C.’s public website, flouting the agency’s strict scientific review process."

Sure, both are dotards, but

Only one of the 2 is a blatant denier of prevailing science on climate change, 'Vid mitigation efforts, etc.
Only one of the 2 cozies up to white supremacist groups, brutal dictators, and Qanon.
Only one of the 2 is a Birther.
Only one of the 2 thinks it's ok to vilify immigrants and minorities.
Only one of the 2 has a DECADES long reputation for :bs: business dealings and hucksterism.
Only one of the 2 has a long history of marital infidelity.
Only one of the 2 has a clear inability to demonstrate any compassion or concern for anyone beyond himself.
Only one of the 2 has MASSIVE daddy issues.
