Sorry. These are not zero cost discussions. Lying, hysteria, and fearmongering by media come with a huge national and social cost. Just think about it. 6-7 Million people just lost jobs. Unemployment in the 5-6 % range. And stock market down almost 25%. A lot of people see their investments losing value or they are locked down with poor investment for some time to come. There are groups of politicians, media, and connected people who would rather see economy cash and burn then let the truth prevail.
Bernie Sanders āhelped ā by Russia
Russia helped Bernie and Jill Sanders to peel off votes from Hillary. That is also well known.
You seem to live in your own world. Even China that has almost total control of their media and social media locked a good chunk of the entire country down under very aggressive controls to stop the spread. You think China would torpedo their economy for nothing?

I mean if every non ideologue kept their head inside the mediaās asses their heads would also explode just like the heads of the ideologues have.
1,510 of 2,323 processed are positives (65% up from 54.4% yesterday). 
is hitting the fan again 
As of April 2, approximately 94,800 tests had been conducted in California. At least 35,267 results have been received and another 59,500 are pending. These numbers include data California has received from commercial, private and academic labs, including Quest, LabCorp, Kaiser, University of California and Stanford, and the 22 state and county health labs currently testing.
California now has 10,701 confirmed cases and 237 deaths.
Health experts say they now believe nearly one in three patients who are infected are nevertheless getting a negative test result. They caution that only limited data is available, and their estimates are based on their own experience in the absence of hard science.
A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services said the test might not detect the virus in the early stage of infection and that patients could become infected between tests.
Tests are never 100% accurate. 2/3 accuracy. Normal or not good?
Testing has limited value. The death rate is the only true measure . And even that is suspect. Many deaths could have been caused by the flu. The other question is how many people are being saved from the flu because of the quarantine?
Now is back to aerosol 
After flatlining for a week, nice to see we are picking up pace again. Nice bump from last few daysā number.
Iām watching my dad walk or stilt along. I am highly intervention averse, but I think he needs knee surgery. I really donāt know many people who go through having their bone chopped off who donāt need it.
We all knew this. Thatās how asymptomatic people spread it to others on a bus.
Thereās nothing wrong with the test if youāre simply looking for people who are contagious. They shouldāve already known that it wasnāt going to catch people who got over the disease or those who are just developing it. The question is whether they are detecting contagious people properly.
Totalitarian rulers, like those in China, live under greater threat of being overthrown. The only difference is that democratic regimes have clear election cycles and politicians can play around it. In both cases, they will try to keep the pressure off the government. That is what is clearly happened. A minor issue can be turned into a big fear creation scheme. Just think about the Russian hoax.
If heās given it time, consulted a physical therapist and followed their instructions and maintains a healthy weight and he still has problems than he might be a candidate although often a single knee surgery results in the need for follow-up surgeries.
