This confirms that John Roberts is an idiot. Our world is burning and he is playing his goddam fiddle taking occasional breaks to toss gasoline on the fire.
That is not a conflict at all.

I’m not going to watch it but apparently in that video Trump says it’s OK to go to work with coronavirus.
So he is okay if someone infected comes to work and sneezes on him?
I sure am.
Here’s the clip:

He says he thinks the real death rate is a fraction of one percent, mentions people going to work with it and recovering fine and doesn’t say that’s a bad thing to do.
When people start dying in big numbers the Democrats should impeach him for this. I have a feeling all the public that doesn’t give a shit about Russia or Ukraine cares about this.

You can’t impeach someone for saying dumb and irresponsible stuff lol, if you could he’d have been impeached 800 times already.
They may be able to make pretty effective attack ads about it come election time though, if coronavirus gets out of control. But he’s probably correct that the real death rate is under 1%.
Maybe, not feeling the cigars though. And a little worried about COVID-19 I guess. Scotch or other hard A probably kills the virus so what the hell.
I feel like I’ve seen a few cask strength variants around 60% but honestly I’d add a little water to those.
I’d be alright with just a drink. Maybe muckleshoot or EQC?

The Imperial College research is linked in that article:
Using estimates of underlying infection prevalence in Wuhan at the end of January derived from testing of passengers on repatriation flights to Japan and Germany, we adjusted the estimates of CFR from either the early epidemic in Hubei Province, or from cases reported outside mainland China, to obtain estimates of the overall CFR in all infections (asymptomatic or symptomatic) of approximately 1% (95% confidence interval 0.5%-4%).
I haven’t read the research in detail but imo the upper end of that is unlikely as there are probably a bunch of asymptomatic cases* and the case numbers are clearly being deliberately underreported in many cases (Iran is an absolute lock for this) so I’d say it’s more likely in the lower end of that confidence interval. Note that the 0.5-1% and 1-4% ranges are, if we take that study at face value, equiprobable (because the final estimate is in the middle of the distribution).
- I know this is taken into account in the research, but underreporting of cases leads to underestimation of this number
