Supposed stats for Friday, October 2nd, 2020...

by ferret Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:42 am

I've been trying since 7 am to download the data. The site I'm using (https://coronavirus.gob.mx/datos/) is just spinning its wheels and I've tried with both iLox and Telmex. Eventually, I'll get them posted.

He nails it in the last paragragh:
“I wish you all health and recovery, and a long life,” Tapper concluded. “But we have to note the tragedy here. It is horrible, and awful, and profound. Sick and in isolation, Mr. President, you have become a symbol of your own failures. Failures of recklessness, ignorance, arrogance. The same failures you have been inflicting on the rest of us. Get well and please — for the rest of us, who don’t get to go to Walter Reed — get well and get it together."

Can't say those are my sentiments- that didn't nail anything as far as I'm concerned. Trump will never learn and he will never change- thinking he might is incredibly naive. He is STILL putting others' lives at risk.

I went backwards and forwards on that site Mudgirl. Fun read and thanks for the link.
One of the links (about Trump hallucinating) grabbed my attention. I began to wonder if the soldiers that he thought he had met with were dead or alive. And I wonder if they made it clear to him that they were neither losers nor suckers.

I had a curious thought regarding all these anti-maskers and "you're taking away my rights!" types.

I think these people suffer from a failure of imagination. Because coronavirus can't be seen with the naked eye, they are able to convince themselves that it doesn't really exist, is "just the flu" or similar nonsense.

Imagine that as soon as someone was infected with COVID, their skin turned black and they were covered with oozing boils. You think those folks would be packing into crowded venues, shoulder to shoulder next to someone who looked like that? I don't think they'd do it even if Trump told them not to worry.

Gaiters or masks? Doesn't really matter as long as either has more than one layer...

On TOB someone mentioned the increase in allergies this time of year. Since I started wearing a mask when I go outside I fine that my sinuses are now clearer than they’ve ever been. I’ve stopped using Zyrtec and nasal sprays.
This is another argument for wearing masks.

by ferret Fri Oct 09, 2020 9:26 am

Agreed!
I also want to post here what Kiko just posted on TOB...

I guess this is going to be a regular Sunday occurrence... again with the spinning wheels and inability to load. Eventually. sigh.

by ferret Sun Oct 11, 2020 10:17 pm

Sorry folks. Been trying all day and I'm giving up. It has to be the site itself because anything else I want to read or watch on either iLox or Telmex is working just fine.

by Jreboll Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:29 am

From TOB quoting RickS what he read on a SMA forum:

“It costs from 100,000 to more than half a million pesos to treat for Covid-19 in a private hospital in Celaya. Just for the admission the patient or their relatives must pay between 20 thousand and 60 thousand pesos. To that, we must add the cost per day of hospitalization and how many doctors are involved in the care. ...

In the Center for Medical Specialties the patient requires a deposit of 25 thousand pesos to enter, the cost varies between 25 and 30 thousand pesos per day depending on the severity , in addition to this, you must pay five thousand pesos per doctor per day.”

by ferret Mon Oct 12, 2020 9:13 am

... and I still can't post the stats. Can anyone else get into this site?...
https://coronavirus.gob.mx/datos/

Don't get the virus. Wear a mask. Socially distance. Stay healthy!

by Jreboll Mon Oct 12, 2020 9:15 am

I’ve tried. Could it be AMLO’s way of hiding the stats?

by ferret Mon Oct 12, 2020 9:17 am

I guess that's possible but I'm more inclined to think that whoever was inputting data forgot to do something at the end of it.
