Brazil erratic strategy to combat Covid-19: advocates the use of chloroquine
Brazil's coronavirus outbreak worsened on Wednesday and the country with a population of 210 million could soon have the second-highest number of cases in the world as the Health Ministry reported 888 new deaths and nearly 20,000 new infections in a single day. Read full article

I somehow doubt the quoted figures cover deaths in all circumstances and settings.
Which means the real picture could be much worse.
If Bolsonaro doesn’t start taking this seriously and soon, like today, like now, this could turn into a real nightmare for Brazil of biblical proportions, if it’s not halfway there already.
Honestly, there is conflicting scientific evidence of pro and anti-hydroxychloroquine information, which seems to reflect the political sentiment of the reporter.
May 22nd, 2020 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In any case, Bolsonaro is not a criminal, nor as the American President, nor the Swedish government because the offend the mainstream zeitgeist. (I specifically note the Swedish as they had the luxury of shutting down their economy, but elected to maintain their economy under controlled conditions.)
The statistics show Sweden death rate does not reflect the what we're being lectured.

The Swedish model compels me to believe Latin American countries do not have the luxury to shut down our economies because vast majority of the poorest will greatly suffer in a worldwide economic depression.
Here in Chile, the poor unemployed are on the verge mass rioting, due in part to food shortages. Brazil has over 200 million of which a large percentage are suffering the economic downturn. As we're expecting a worldwide depression many world leaders are scrambling to save their national economies.

Bolsanaro however has not even tried to contain/mitigate this virus, he simply doesn’t seem to believe it’s serious, even if he were to impose a strict lockdown immediately, given how it has already spread, it would now be months not weeks before they saw any improvement.
Almost certainly longer than the Brazilian economy could stand without collapsing completely.
Bolosanaro has left Brazil with no other option now, but to take what is coming.
Doubt somehow he is going to survive as president, this virus will probably still be running amok in Brazil, long after he is no longer running it as President.

May 23rd, 2020 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You may be very correct about his future, but many Latin American countries have made ineffectual actions as well. We Latinos generally suffer when our governments say their going to help us anyway.
Politics aside, Bolsonaro may in fact be making the best decision for his country by doing nothing.
Actual latest statistics are contrary to the original erroneous 3.4% estimate of the WHO, which helped drive the panic and the lockdowns.
Yet...
Mortality rates in Qatar and Singapore are below 0.1 percent - among the world's lowest. The Gulf nation's mortality rate is at 0.07 percent - that is 12 deaths in more than 16,000 cases. And Singapore's is 0.093 percent of more than 19,000 infections.
Now the USA CDC's latest numbers is confirming the IFR is even lower — because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases.
The CDC estimates the death rate from COVID-19 for those under 50 is 1 in 5,000 for those with symptoms, which would be 1 in 6,725 overall, but again, almost all those who die have specific comorbidities or underlying conditions.
I'm certainly not in denial of the deadly virus that endangers our society, but you really have to question the consequences of an economic depression upon especially the world's poor.

”Diagnostic Terms for Defining Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse
Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD). A type of personality disorder in which an individual shows a strong disregard for norms, morals and the law, or the rights and safety of others. People with the disorder show a willingness to manipulate and exploit others. They also have a lack of empathy and will engage in impulsive, irresponsible behavior to serve their own ends. They are unconcerned with what others think and can be aggressive and hostile.
Emotional Abuse/Psychological Abuse. Acts of verbal aggression or non-physical hostility that result over time in the loss of the target’s self-esteem (emotional) or ability to trust one’s own mental thought processes (psychological).
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). A type of personality disorder in which a person has grandiose fantasies of success and power with few or no achievements behind the fantasies. People with the disorder are constantly comparing themselves to others and feeling envious. They may also feel others are envious of them. They believe they are unique and entitled to special treatment, admiration, and obedience. In addition, they lack emotional empathy and have a willingness to exploit others for their own benefit.
Overt Narcissist. A “garden-variety” or typical narcissist whose emotional displays, grandiosity and feelings of entitlement and superiority are on obvious display to others.

Ego-Syntonic/Ego-Dystonic. When a disorder produces behaviors or attitudes that are compatible with a person’s self-image, they are ego-syntonic. Most personality disorders are considered ego-syntonic, as the individuals with the disorders do not see their actions or attitudes as problematic. Disorders that produce attitudes or behaviors that do not align with a person’s self-image are ego-dystonic. Depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder are two examples.Psychopath/Sociopath. Considered to be sub-types of ASPD where the criteria must include disregard of laws and norms. Their meanings have changed over time and are used inconsistently. Only the term “psychopath” has been recognized in the DSM-5, and it is not an official diagnosis. Some researchers believe that a psychopath is more biologically-determined and a person’s environment is more responsible for producing a sociopath. Still others believe that there are differences between the two in how they behave. For example, they believe that a psychopath is more calculating and a sociopath acts more spontaneously. Finally, still other researchers believe that there is no difference– they are two terms applied to the same group of people with little evidence to support that there is an actual distinction in cause or behavior. The main features that both terms share that are relevant to narcissistic abuse are the lack of a conscience or remorse and the ability to manipulate and deceive.

Big Sissies: How and Why Narcissists Get Worse with Age
Instead of maturing, mellowing, and gaining wisdom, narcissists, unless helped with treatment (which is unusual), remain emotionally stunted children whose deficient empathy and self-centred neediness intensify with ageing
Narcissists tend to age into extreme versions of their worst selves. And when dementia comes into the picture, it often exacerbates matters. As narcissists get worse with age, they become more ...
As their personal power fades and their social sphere narrows, narcissists are more likely to look for scapegoats anywhere they can. Their increasingly desperate grandiose delusions often bring out bigotry ...

Because of narcissists’ lack of compassion and their antagonism, as they age their relationships and friendships often falter or fail, leaving them lonely and isolated:
Spouses may have left or withdrawn to avoid their criticism and combativeness.
Adult children may have pulled away or cut contact altogether because of their toxic influence.
Their grandchildren may be estranged from them because their adult children have asserted boundaries to protect their families.

In the case of narcissists, because they’re unable to see these things inside themselves they have to project them on other people. Because they’re unable to be accountable and responsible for their stuff, they have to project it onto other people.
Projection is a combination of misdirection and blame-shifting. They’re diverting and distracting you from what is really going on and they’re getting you to take responsibility for it in some way. On the surface that’s what they seem to think is going on. But, if you learn to read the narcissist instead of just taking everything personally, you’re going to see how valuable their projections are for revealing who they are and what they’re doing.
The narcissist accuses you of lying because the narcissist is a pathological liar.”

May 26th, 2020 - 10:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From the Internet, I'd like to share why the vintages are not refered by year.
The first Caballo Loco was produced in 1994 (Caballo Loco 1) and made from a blend of 50% of that year’s vintage with an aged blend from 1992. Since, each edition is unique, containing 50% of the current vintage and 50% of the previous edition, which is kept back especially for blending. The resulting wine is bottle-aged for at least 18 months before release onto the market, and being a blend of wines from different years, there is, of course, no vintage on the label.
The grapes for the premium Caballo Loco come from four different vineyards in central Chile. The blend of the new wine varies each time it is made. Number 1 for example was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Pinot Noir, whilst later editions have contained varieties as diverse as Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carménère. Only Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are ever-present, these being blended with the best grapes from the other varieties that were most successful in the particular year (and best suited to create the intended balance of the Caballo Loco).

Avocados saw a resurgence in early May, according to the Hass Avocado Board’s latest report on sales during the pandemic.
According to the avocado board, using numbers from Chicago-based research firm IRI, avocados sales for the week ending May 10 were up 15.6% over the same week in 2019. That’s up from the 2.4% increase the category saw for the week ending May 3.
For the week ending May 10, avocados performed better than the overall fruit category (up 9.5%), but the overall fresh produce department sales were higher (14.8%), as were the sales for total store with perimeter departments (15.4%)
Recent avocado sales have been up year-to-year, according to IRI data. Avocado sales, when compared with weekly sales in 2019 were:
* April 19: 10.3%
* April 26: 18.8%
* May 3: 2.4%
* May 10: 15.6%
* Latest four weeks ending May 10: 11.4%
* Year-to-date: 13.2%

“…fortunate situation to sample a wide variety of vintages…”…one of the advantages of Brazil not being a traditional wine producer, although there is some interesting wine down south and in the NE region.
No idea how many labels are available here, but must be in the dozens of 1000s, from all over the world. Over the last 15/16 years, I’ve had at least 1500 of them. On the other hand, it’s hard to go wrong with wines from Chile.
Your farmhouse kitchen sounds like it going to be the 8th wonder of the world.
The weather here has been absolutely fantastic over the last two months, with the exception of a rainy day here ‘n there, but unfortunately it is limited to being enjoyed mostly through the windows…every morning, before breakfast I stand in the sun streaming through the service area window…20 minutes a day, to get my vitamin D.
You might say I am a pick up man myself….While in Memphis in the late 80s, saw the Ranger STX on display in a shopping mall…then ‘n there I knew I would eventually get one…so in 1995, I bought one, a silver STX, and finally sold it, heart broken, to a car collector, last December. Got top dollar for it…had only 65,000 miles on the clock, ran beautifully, and literally, in brand new condition. After retiring, I hardly used it, so when a guy who would take care of it like I did, appeared, I let it go.
“…I'd like to share why the vintages are not refered by year”….tks…was curious why, and googled it a few minutes ago…no wonder it costs a pretty penny. No worry, it was enjoyed !

Re Schrödinger's cat, quantum physics is full of bizarre effects that make your head hurt. If you try to measure the decay of a particle too often it won't happen (Zeno effect), and the result of an experiment can change depending on where you place your detectors.

Frankly, we were alarmed and remain alarmed with the high incidence of skin cancer, but we do purposely expose ourselves to sun for various health reasons. For what it's worth, hats and long sleeves in the summer are essential.
So much for an 8th wonder... The old sala de estar, that was the original kitchen of the house almost 60 years ago is slowly retaking its rightful location again and the old dining room will now become the living room conjoined to the kitchen with a massive opening — creating in effect a massive kitchen - living area.
I'm currently enjoying this evening with a re-warmed empanada from my battered toaster oven nearby my bed and a '03 Viña Carmen Cabernet Reserva that's good, but nothing to rave about.
The office is over a kilometer up from the house, but it has a bath with shower, so I avoid the chemical port-a-potty whenever possible.
Jack, as I've mentioned before, I did some vineyard irrigation consulting on vineyard irrigation in the Vale do São Francisco and was completely unimpressed with your domestic wine — but in all fairness I had no idea of what to select.
What is almost incomprehensible to any enophile connoisseur is that in nearby Petrolina, it was demonstrated technically possible to achieve 5 grape harvests within a 48 month period. (Vine growth is phenomenal and the dormancy is achieved through pruning and chemical growth regulator.)
One of the multiple downsides is the poor juice quality has an unsepid bland taste and yields are low. (Table grapes for the Brazilian domestic market are at times grown from there on a two harvest per year, but they're unsuitable for export.)
As I mentioned, I didn't even know about Schrödinger's cat.

“To be able to understand why a narcissist projects, you must understand how the narcissist works. A true narcissist projects an image of a strong, confident and self-absorbed person, this is called the narcissists false self. Inside the narcissist or behind their mask, where their true self is they are very weak and vulnerable and seek to be admired and approved. Look at it like a hard surface that surrounds a soft true self. The true self does not function because the false has taken over. It is incredibly damaged and not capable of dealing with the foray of the inner wounds which the narcissist has not taken responsibility for, has dismissed and denied.
To escape the horrific feelings that the narcissists has the false self is created. The false self is a glorified, grandiose version of self the narcissist idealizes. Since they are all about maintaining their false self they use projection to rid themselves of unwanted traits in their character. They magically disown the parts of themselves that reflect negatively on their personas and accuse you of the exact things they’re guilty of doing”

Regarding Brazilian wines, the ones that are good – and they do exist – are few 'n far between….about 10 years ago, bought a batch of wines (2003/4 vintages) produced by a company called Rio Sol (joint venture btwn Michel Rolland /Expand, the latter at the time being the largest wine importer/wineshop in Brazil, while they had the exclusive representation of Concha & Toro) in the municipality of Lagoa Grande, PE (S.Franncisco Valley), roughly 400 miles west of Recife (latitude 8º south, Longitude 40° west), quite close to Petrolina. I was surprised at their smoothness and balance.
Yeah, having 2 or 3 harvests/year, is interesting.
In the south of Brazil, a Co called Vinícola Almaúnica makes some pretty good varietals (cab sauv and merlot). There are others, whose wines have improved greatly over the last 10 years - Villa Francioni, Cordilheira de Santana, dal Pizzol, are some. Only problem is that many times, they’re more expensive than comparable Chilean wines.

I was kind of the opposite, found maths and science easy but although I always loved reading I disliked writing essays and analysing texts. We did study one of Wordsworth's poems (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud) and it must have made an impression, since I still remember it all these years later. We also did WWI poetry and that was depressing: 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'. Wilfred Owen died just one week before the end of the war, it seems especially cruel. I've always found history fascinating, though. Just wish we could have covered more of it. Did you really have to write a thesis in school? Here you don't do that until final year of university.

The creature cannot comprehend what it's cut-and-pasting, much-less interpret the meaning of an idiom...
After all, the creature is not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
...also, Gollum should be cautious quoting Cicero who literally lost his head making insults...
I challenged the potty mouthed-miserable-maniacal-maligned-mindless-malicious-mendacious-mechanical-monkey to compose a single paragraph — and the wind up toy just wildly clanged its profane little tin cymbals in responses with highly-clever insults...
I repeat we both know what he really looks like:

We've finally ceased work for the day. The old woman saved 3 empanadas de pollo and one of Pino (beef) for my evening's meal. I still have the remainder of yesterday's Cabernet to accompany — along with my grandfather's book that awaits...
¡Saudos!

“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” ― Socrates
“When cowardly individuals are not able to attack the message, they attack the messenger.” Abderrahman Hassi
“We must make a personal attack when there is no argumentative basis for our speech.” Cicero, Pro Flacco, c.58. B.C
“The best way to win an argument is to begin by being right.” Jill Ruckeshaus, Saturday evening Post, March 3, 1973
Again the remarkable attributed quote from 58 B.C.
May 30th, 2020 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Like I mentioned, one should take caution and careful-thought before quoting Marcus Tullius Cicero...
I somewhat remember our professor at our school during Roman history studies give a lecture that captured our attention — because he gave a gruesome account of how Cicero was viciously slaughtered that still lingers as a reminder of the dangers of blithely quoting someone who was intensely hated for his sarcastic commentary.
They slit his throat and it took three recorded brutal-inept swings of a Roman broadsword to cut off his head. As an insult, they cut his hands off as trophies for public display. You really can't forget that kind of gruesome storytelling...
Then again, Romans are quite tame in comparison to some of my Latin American cousins who as a final insult — slice off the smart-ass' male appendage and shove it down its potty-mouthed throat...

May 30th, 2020 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“some of my Latin American cousins.” What an absolutely revealing projection. By indicating even an implied veiled threat, you have revealed what an utterly complete wussy you are. As tough guys don't make any threats, since they have nothing prove. It's all you weeny wannabe's that only wished, you had nothing to prove.

May 30th, 2020 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“ingratiatory” Yea I have a title, I exist in Copy Paste Bot’s universe.
I’m somebody at last, I’ve made it, Huzzar Huzzar!!!
”a class of strategic behaviors illicitly designed to influence a particular other person concerning the attractiveness of one's personal qualities.”
Sounds like a salesman to me, which I was, very successfully for many years.
Oh I know it’s not the exalted “Avocador of the Avocado” with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds.
But it’s a start, next stop the order of “Psychological Transferee”, DT hasn’t got that one yet.
“argumentum ad hominems”
Was this something else they used to say to you growing up?
Must have been tough, knowing your being insulted, but not understanding a Fecking word of it.

May 30th, 2020 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now you have me insanely jealous as my five title status — pales in the monumental noblesse you have assended. How could I ever now imagine to compete?
I'm somewhat alarmed why the creature has abandoned Wikipedia. Perhaps Gollum realizes how foolish repeatedly quoting Wikipedia is...
One of the many humorous quotes I've come across which exemplify the problem with disciples of Wikipedia:
“I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so that I could converse with those people.” Al Gore, Environmentalist and Politician
That same genius claimed he “invented” the Internet and that the polar icecap would be completely melted by 2010...
What on earth does Uriah Heepish signify anyway?
When I heard that quote about Latin America it was George 'Dubya' Bush supposedly saying it. Wonder who it was first attributed to?
May 30th, 2020 - 06:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Uriah Heep was a character in Dickens who went around saying how humble he was all the time, much like your turnip loving friend. So false modesty, basically.

May 30th, 2020 - 07:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, it seemed suspicious when I read it, but if it's published on the Internet — so obviously it must be true...
Here's the link I saw: https://www.superprof.co.uk/blog/classical-latin-taught-in-schools/
Bush II was perhaps the stupidest president in since the 1920's...
So much erroneous information...
According to Snopes the story was originally told about Dan Quayle, and it was a joke that several newspapers published as fact. The rest is history, and credulous idiots like Terry who believe anything (he wants to believe) if it's on a website.
May 30th, 2020 - 09:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Come on Terry-bot, it's my turn, you have to insult me now.
Did you read any Dickens at school? Uriah Heep appears in David Copperfield, and is a singularly unpleasant character.

May 30th, 2020 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Gollum, the nasty slimy pervert who plays with doll's dong...
He has definitely been pushed over the edge...a bit above, he posted the same crap twice, the second time being when he was presumably attacking you...a real idiot, but in line with his friend Alz H.
Although he is easily offended, as seen by his “Oh desperately posting argumentum ad hominems”, he resorts to showing his nasty personality....he tells DT to “Get lips your right around it, and give it an extra good suck”...and even then can't get the grammar right, then he tells you to “go f**k yourself and the horse you rode into town on”.....not what I would expect from a gentleman.....his rage is escalating....soon he'll crawl out of his basement window and start biting passers by. His Ma had better close the window with bricks and mortar if she doesn't want to be sued for allowing her creepy crawler out in the street...
And now he believes he's being threatened...“By indicating even an implied veiled threat, you have revealed what an utterly complete wussy you are”.....
Wow, he's lost it....and something tell me he thinks he's a “tough guy”....so tough that he endured three years of toilet cleaning and got a mug for it, which he is veeeery proud of...he keeps it in a place he can see it from any angle in the basement, sitting on the 3rd step leading to the locked kitchen door... locked from the kitchen side, for obvious reasons.
What's funny is that he even sends definitions of his insults as if no one understand the meaning of them....what a stupid fool !
Pugol
He's actually gone to his dicKtionary to find words to insult you....when he ran out of them, he called you an adjective that describes himself...“slimy”.....you may consider yourself winner of the round....
As the idiot says, ' he has been bested', and shown 'what a bag of shite he really is'...

May 30th, 2020 - 10:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since Gollum seems occupied, allow me to INSULT you:
Oh foolish slave, subservient of two domineering females, forcing your alert uninterrupted attention 24 hours a day and seven days a week, followed by your continuous patience as well as an unending access to your income. What a fool you are and yet you still haven't realized that you've been unwittingly bewitched...
I predict you be forced to continuously clean, pamper, feed, dress and entertain the little déspota and yet somehow will adore the privileged experience...
Years will pass, and the chains of bondage will remain to shackle your heart...
What a fool you are!
Regarding Dickens: ...I been living inside A Tale Of Two Cities since shortly after being first commissioned...

The plaster has been applied amazingly fast, with the entire new kitchen complete with the first coat. They will return next weekend for the second application as this cool weather and the workmen availability require it. Moist plaster is a depressing gray color, but it's really satisfying. Monday, the start laying and repairing the flooring — all the same terracotta red tile, which makes it incredibly easy and simple to accomplish.
This evening I'm enjoying a '08 Viña Laura Hartwig Cabernet.
