How much of the $275 million Sandmann sued CNN for did he finish up receiving?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Back to something serious...
Scot, you said that reported deaths are a bad metric. Yes they are, in that the consensus is that they underestimate the true number of coronavirus deaths!

Oh, I doubt that was for him. The money goes to the lawyers who used his name.
You know, now that I think of it, they are like Skeggi from Tailchasers Song.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Do you really think they settled for $275 million, or an amount anywhere near it?

Police raided an ultra-Orthodox Jewish prayer group in Melbourne’s inner-east on Thursday morning where a group of at least 10 men were praying in contravention of social-distancing rules.

Re: UK Covid-19 Outbreak
Dont insult. We have no data on the deaths. It is totally incomplete. We dont know if these people would have died or did they die of the virus. The numbers are so low and the models have been proven totally inaccurate. So please stop waffling.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 11:32 pmYes we have. If you search this thread for 'epidemiological' you find posts saying the data is less than complete, but to expect to have that kind of over-arching post-pandemic perspective today is unrealistic - and to cite it's absence as a reason for governments to ignore their public duty is to found an opinion on wishful thinking and ignorance.Scot Dutchy wrote:Deaths are a very bad metric as none are investigated. Known cases is not 100% either but we have been saying that about all the figures.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
The numbers are so low that there are make-shift morgues in all the hot-spots. That doctors at the hot-spots have to choose which patient and treat and which to neglect. That the ICUs are filled with dozens of intubated patients where according to the doctors there, there are at other times hardly any situations where more than one patient is intubated at the same time. And this is only at the beginning of the whole thing. It is easy to calculate that with exponential growth of infected people, the deaths would also grow exponentially.

The rate of infection is slowing down because of measures taken ("social distancing").Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:02 amStrange how they are slowing down.

That might be the one explanation why Germany is less severely hit than other countries!
