A Deluged System Leaves Some Elderly to Die, Rocking Spain’s Self-Image
In Italy (Spain as well), authorities have conceded that their coronavirus death toll did not include those who had died at home or in nursing homes. Similarly in France, officials have said that only those who died in hospitals had been recorded as pandemic-related — a practice they said would change in the coming days.

Work strikes at Amazon, Instacart and Whole Foods show essential workers' safety concerns
Workers at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, New York, walked out during lunch Monday, over concerns about safety at the job site. "How many cases we got? Ten!" went a call-and-response chant outside the fulfillment center that afternoon, in reference to workers who had tested positive there with COVID-19.
Co-workers there feared for their own health because workers weren't always physically distanced and the site was not closed to be sanitized. "We are working long, crowded shifts in the epicenter of a global pandemic, and Amazon has failed to provide us with the most basic safeguards to protect us, our families, and the public's health,” said Rina Cummings, a worker at the center, in a statement released by Athena, a coalition of groups that represent Amazon workers and others concerned about the company's influence.
“We are walking out to protest the impossible choice of coming to work at a toxic workplace and possibly spreading the virus or going unpaid during an economic crisis," she said.
Fears of contamination and risk also led to as many as 150,000 workers for grocery delivery service Instacart to execute a nationwide strike on Monday. Their action got wide support on Twitter from notables such as Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and concerned consumers such as Ifeanyi Ezeh, a computing engineer living near Columbia, Maryland.
"I support all workers who are risking their health to help save lives during this crisis," he tweeted with the hashtags #InstacartStrike and #AmazonStrike. "Thanks to these brave people, many families like mine are able to stay home safe with our families."
Amazon faces another potential workplace disruption Tuesday as some employees have planned a "sick out" over demands for better conditions including double pay because of the hazards of working during the pandemic.
Workers who would not give their names for fear of possibly being fired said they worried not only about getting the virus themselves from customers or co-workers as some staffers at stores had tested positive.

We’re really ******. Just read a bunch of comments under Candace Owen’s tweets and there are fools saying Covid is fake and not serious smh.

Yea, some of those comments made me cringe. Hopefully the 250 that died in n.y state in 24 hours will wake some ppl up. But to honest, some ppl are easily brain washed, and even when they know they're wrong, they will still fight to convince themselves they were right.
There's a new comedy show on HBO called Anenue 5. In one scene, everyone on a spaceship cruiseline is stuck in space for 3 years. After a while the guests get weary and start to think the spaceship really isn't in space, so the guests overtake the ship and start walking themselves out of the airlock lol. They start dying one by one. And even then as the guests watch other guests freeze and die when the airlock opens, they explain it away by saying it's just special effects and continue to walk out one by one
Point being, when rationality isn't on the menu, you can choose from a million dumb explanations to keep an idiotic narrative going.

The numbers are made up now?
just to be clear, I wasn’t suggesting the US numbers were made up, I was implying China’s numbers are much higher than what has been reported.

I have zero investment in skepticism. But I do put a great deal of investment into data and accuracy. Putting numbers out there without context (or providing context where people don’t read, like myself at times) causes panic. And it also can give a false sense that things are getting better when they are not.
Believe me, I’d rather err on the side of ‘panic’ as it add peace of mind to me that my parents and elder family members are more likely to stay as home (as well as the population more likely to stay at home)
No investment here bruv. But people spreading numbers without providing context can be irresponsible and damaging
