There is an interesting debate to be had about putting dollar values on human life. When cuomo says “you can’t put a value on life”, that’s just not true. We do all the time. One argument I’ve heard along these lines is if we value human life infinitely why isn’t the speed limit 15 mph on all roads? You could pretty much eliminate all traffic fatalities (30-40k per year). The price of those 30-40k lives is the convenience and economic benefits of driving fast.

hahaha I tried to read it and get some main ideas but it was too much.
-
Makes sense, but seeing as how this specific pathogen kills mostly old people those genes are already passed on.
-
Initially I was considering responding to this, but I don’t have it in me lol. There’s too much wrong and it’s too incoherent to dissect.
-
These are not good analogies imo. Why would controlling this pandemic make the next one worse? There will be new vulnerable populations by the time the next one comes. It’s not like a forest fire that wipes out all the fuel and can’t come back right away.
-
That REALLY sucks.
-
Nice pics. Denis Potvin is the GOAT though.

Also places that lost staff maybe can't just staff back up at the drop of a hat.
-
Agree, someone has to be first and as long as they are doing it in a measured approach it will be a good test.
-
Yeah it’s just a guess I see a lot of experts putting out there 10:1 undetected to detected.
-
The crazy part is in reality we probably have something like 10 million cases total.
-
It looks like they changed to currently hospitalized also which is a more relevant count.
-
Man where was this BN temps and AN precip pattern 3 months ago???
-
Yeah wow, that is the exact opposite of what every public health expert in the world thinks.
-
It’s interesting that PG county has a lot more cases than montco but montco has more deaths. I wonder if that’s cause the drive thru testing at fedex was the first of those and the case counts are actually similar.
-
Couple more days of this and we can confidently say we’re on the downswing.
-
Maryland only 900 new cases on over 8,000 tests. Good news.
-
Last Sunday was 1570 deaths and we’re well below that, hopefully tomorrow will be less than last Monday and so on, and then we can say for sure we’re on the downswing.
-
Yeah but they’re down compared to last Sunday’s, which is good.
-
Very reasonable, but I do disagree on the masks. I think they probably do reduce transmission and I think some people actually feel less fear in a crowded or semi crowded public place while wearing them. What makes you think masks don’t reduce transmission?
-
And I’m not being sarcastic when I say have at it, I actually do want you to hear your ideas.
-
Fair enough, point taken.
-
Then discuss, have it at it. The topic here is covid-19. The issue I see is you are preoccupied with telling everyone else how they should be discussing it instead of constructively participating.

Good news is the % positive plummeted, only ~800 cases on 7500 tests
