DeltaT13

I had read your first number as 194000, instead of 19,400, so i couldnt figure out what that could be. My bad, carry on.

Is this new cases? I’m confused there are currently 668,000 cases in the US

That is all true. But Trump is just way to “buddy buddy” with a piece of shit commie dictator. It’s really not a good look.

We wouldnt be bickering if Trump or even one Republican would act like they care or chastise Russia instead of taking their side. Trump ****ing loves Putin and it's a disgrace You blatantly acknowledge it happened, thats all I ask of them at least. Just own up to it. It's the denial that is maddening to us libs.

He said large gatherings, like baseball games and concerts with 10,000-50,000+ people. They will advise you to not gather in large groups if possible at home, but it will just be a recommendation. Things will be weird, it will probably be advisable to know who in your group is vulnerable, who has gotten it and who hasnt, who is feeling sickly, who just has allergies, etc. Weird times ahead. We need to get our immunity cards!

I don't see any problem with how this went down. NY had and still has the highest amount of cases and deaths. We needed to be ready in case the curve didnt flatten. Now that things have more or less stabilized they are being redistributed. He isn't keeping them unnecessarily, other states didn't need them during this time so no one was deprived, it all worked out perfect. Hard to find fault in a what appears to be a well executed; better safe than sorry plan. Now if he had done all that screeching for ventilators and 6 people died, there would be an issue. The death toll in NYC is insane when you think about it.

Its an interesting conversation. A virus ideally wants to be infectious but not all out deadly. Dead people don't spread viruses so when something becomes too deadly it naturally fades away. A happy medium of making someone quite sick and infectious while not outright killing them is the happy medium a virus naturally mutates towards.

Things usually don't mutate in that way. Survival of the fittest would mean that the poorly transmitted mutation disappears while the highly transmitted version continues on.

Sadly they will likely be drafting players we won’t see suit up until fall 2021. Maybe sports will find a way to play without stadium attendance by then; but then the teams will lose a huge chunk of revenue so that probably isn’t viable either.

As our society grows more fragile and values every single life at a higher and higher level, "pandemics" (or any illness than instills panic and fear) might occur on a much higher frequency. I agree it seems ludicrous to maintain such an inventory, but I bet that 5 percent of the annual military budget could support an entire system with almost full yearly replacement indefinitely. Seems like a lot of bang for your buck. Your last sentence is important, many many people have surmised and envisioned this exact scenario. We really should have done better. This entire thing was mismanaged world wide nearly every step of the way.

I'm sitting here in awe of these markets. As you stated, the earnings reports coming in the next quarter or two are going to make peoples heads spin. The market is going to implode so hard in the coming 6-12 months. Hang on tight.

And the other thing we need is medical overhead. The only reason this disease has paralyzed us is because our medical system is just barely able to function during nominal levels of need. It sounds outrageous, but we need large facilities that are "moth-balled" but always ready to be sprung into action in the event of a pandemic. We a million ventilators (at a minimum) stored in a giant repository along with all the other PPE, this must be staffed and maintained perpetually. We need the ability to quickly convert the medical system into a temporary setup that doubles its capacity. I understand that is a wildly complicated, but the alternative is the entire collapse of modern society. Our hospital system can't be at capacity all the time, and it can't be for profit.

Testing Testing Testing. If we could magically test every American over the next 3-4 weeks and actually quantify the real levels of infection and exposure we could make informed decisions. We need both regular testing for the active virus and antibody testing. We need a system ( a COVID card, if you will) where we know who is vulnerable and who is relatively immune or safe and we give the safe people a pass/app/card that gets them access to specific locations. We need to shelter the ones at high risk and get the rest of back out there. We just need testing, massive incredible testing. Without it, its all speculation and fear.

Once we slowly begin to emerge from this lock down people better learn to hold their sneezes and coughs. The slightest hint of sickness will get people chased out restaurants and stores, its going to be a weird paranoid existence for a long time. Not cool.

The average middle schooler probably knows the difference between a virus and bacteria and how an antibiotic works. This from the guy who considers himself a genius and thinks he’s a natural medical doctor. Lol. Imagine proudly supporting him..

Every single summer festival all they way through August has been canceled in Rochester. I can’t imagine it will be long before the state fair finds the same sad fate.

Correct, Bernie would have been nice but the US isnt ready for socialism just yet, a bit ahead of his time so to speak. Joe Biden will have to do but certainly has a better chance of losing than winning at this time. To be honest, I would take any single republican candidate over trump. Literally any other person, anyone, but Trump. This isnt about dems or republican, I just want a coherent normal human with some form of empathy and intelligence.

It always easy to remember that one because its basically the only "lie" in his entire 8 year career. Trump is over 17,000 blatant lies in 3 years, often making more than a dozen an hour. Try to keep up.. Anyway, hows the hoax working out for you? LOLz

Thats a very interesting article. A damn shame it had to be spun into a strange trump dick sucking direction. Trump doesnt know an ion, from an electron, or how iron has any part of human blood chemistry. Someone much smarter probably told him it had hope and now he is somehow getting praise as if he came up with the medicine or idea to use it as a treatment himself. We don't need any medical advice from any president, Whether its Trump or Obama. Leave that shit to the professionals who have spent decades working and studying in a lab. Cool article, shitty spin. Hope we can get this virus figured out soon.

4805 cases. 685 deaths Italy definitely seems to have peaked scroll down for nice graphics https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

Looks like they have truly peaked and have begun the slow decline. A long brutal decline at that. What a long lasting nasty bug for those who catch it and develop moderate to severe symptoms. Seems like 3-4 weeks until recovered.

Coworkers wife is in ICU. Expected to be on a ventilator for another week.

I remember stumbling across the stat that Greenland has a population over 50,000 people. Kind of blew my mind. Lots of little harbors and fishing ports/villages.

It's not a misrepresentation, its simply another piece of the puzzle. I can infer accurate trends in either graph. Those graphs distinctly show when transmission rates drop off, typically as a result of stringent social distancing. Link me some useful graphs that show the total available infectable population, I'd be interested to see those too.

I already posted a far more accurate way to track it, and it shows a similar thing. https://aatishb.com/covidtrends/?fbclid=IwAR0rJQtPzhVZjylG_TcF51RlEVCs6j8B0y11cT4t75-PjvYWEOjVeItMJuA This is just another visual to show how far outside the norm in terms of absolute numbers that we are right now. (Half the time, twice the numbers, it's not pretty) China likely under reported, but what if they didn't? Will we ever know? We we should just throw them out altogether.
