Man Just Buying One Of Every Cleaning Product In Case Trump Announces It’s Coronavirus Cure
EVANSTON, WY—Throwing bottles of bleach, ammonia, and Drano into a cart at his local grocery store, area man Troy Mitchell was reportedly stocking up on one of every cleaning product he could find Wednesday in case President Donald Trump announces it is a coronavirus cure. “I got toilet bowl...

Yeah because it's normal for the President of the United States to be 'Sarcastic' in a time of unprecedented crisis the World hasn't seen in decades.
Ill save you the hassle.
Saying something inflammatory that does not go over very well, then getting blow back from not only the other party, but your own, will quickly result in the "It was just a joke!" defense.
By doing this, the person making the statement you did not like is able to remove the blame from themselves, and make you feel like you are the one that just does not get their wit. You are now the one that lacks a sense of humor and or intelligence to be able to know when something is a joke or not.

Yeah, it's the presidency as performance art...
Man, this is the weirdest timeline ever!
Singapore (along with South Korea) was for awhile the model to follow with regards to handling Covid19
Lately they appear to be dealing with a Second Wave
Much of this is attributed to the city state's importing of foreign labour for it's construction industry. Might be an interesting case study to observe in regards to relaxation of social distancing measures and how outbreaks can happen easier in cramped living conditions.

Sweden's got a ways to go to catch up to the US...but they are picking up steam!
There’s no fucking way we’re going to visit the US in October.
Stop being such a pussy you cunt!

You can visit! Australia just won't ever let you come back in...this is what you'll look like going back to Oz, can you blame them for not letting you back in?
Where have I seen that picture before....?
Oh, yeah:

I would not look at their new cases(new cases can easily be swayed by a countries testing practices), I would instead look at the number dead and see if its higher or lower percentage of total population then other countries. In fact, if Sweden shows a similar daily death as other countries per 1000 people then I would suggest their idea of how to hand this pandemic was correct. So if you want to be honest about the virus effects on a countries population and judge their outcomes look to the number of deaths per 1000 people. Continue to use the infected rate to judge is pointless until everyone is tested continuously.

The strategy devised by scientists was to keep large parts of society open but not everyone is convinced.

Well, that information is available:
So, it looks to me like they aren't conducting a whole lot of tests...
If you look at their deaths, I'm not seeing a good trend:
TL;DR --> slicing the numbers various ways, Sweden doesn't look like they are doing so well right now.
This is a good conversation that reflects how I feel about how the media covers the virus and Trump. His ego was mentioned in this thread earlier and this kinda brings up the point that the news is playing into that. While they have tunnel vision on Trump and anything that they can use to attack him (which I mean is understandable, call him out on his failures), I don't see them covering the faults elsewhere (relatively) in the government and I find that its IMPOSSIBLE that things are going perfect outside of "Trumps response", and so much so that they don't require investigative journalism. Theres more to our government and this crisis than just Trump.
I can't really link it here or anything, but if you get the time, go on twitter and search for "food bank". Thats something I've been looking at this morning. All I can say is damn. Just lines and lines of people in pictures / videos, articles about lack of funding and people visiting the foodbank for the first time in their lives among other things. This isn't going away anytime soon. The people laid off may not go back to work for a long while. It makes me sad.
