So he compares one year death figures to two week figures, as though they are the same sample size. And then he assumes infection spread numbers that are the same, which is off by a multiple of 26 (two weeks versus a year).

Such a dope.

Woohoo! I probably have Covid-19. 2 days ago my niece had a low grade fever but seems to be fine now, she was hanging around the entire family for an in-house birthday dinner. Now I've had a low grade fever(99.4) and a mild cough for a couple days. I already had the flu back in January. I wouldn't even qualify for a test if I went to the hospital so I guess I'm just effed. It's been nice knowing you guys!

Coug, you’re not going anywhere. You’re too salty. Sure Hope it’s not COVID-19, but take care of yourself.

It's all about getting re-elected. The man has absolutely no shame or conscience.

And, oh BTW, my office just held emergency meeting... everyone is to work from home the rest of the week.

I take it that my request to make this an informative thread fell on deaf ears. I'm not going to post in two areas on the same topic, so I'll move to the Pub. If anyone else prefers to have an adult conversation regarding this respiratory virus, you are welcome to join in.

Are incoherent posts allowed in that thread too? If not, then I am skeptical.

It is the politics subforum. It would seem a bit redundant to have two coronavirus threads here, one for science and one for politics.

So far no repots of the virus in the big easy. Probably so much alcohol in their bodies and street it's self cleansing.

Had a wicked sinus/upper respiratory infection a few months ago. Old Forrester Prohibition (115 proof) did a number on it. I think I killed that stuff off in a couple of days sipping a couple of good pours of that stuff each day. Something to be said for it.

Tinfoil hat time - anybody think that media induced panic driving the market down is intentional so the heavy hitter investors who have shorted the hot market can finally cash in? Once the shorts and insurance are called in the media hysteria will magically go away and be explained away as it being “warmer weather”?

I don’t know, the media is generally stupid, no doubt, but some of this seems overly-intentional given the cold facts concerning this virus. This is not the plague. It just isn’t. It’s barely the Flu.

You really think the major Wall Street traders (who move the market) are being controlled by what appears on ABC World News Tonight?

Tin foil hat? It may be the opposite direction. Major funds that hold positions in the media are moving the panic levers to cash in shorts...ie...the market movers are controlling the media.

We’re just trying to figure out the best way to deliver useful info. This thread is the most active, but it naturally veers away from information and into politics.

Where my daughter goes to school, Fulton County GA schools closed tomorrow due to confirmed case of staff coronavirus.

The point is, your conclusion is just as unknowable as you think his is.

I have made no representation as to what the math will turn out to be.

Trump YET AGAIN minimized the virus by comparing the ONE YEAR death toll of the flu to the TWO WEEK death toll from coronavirus. To make matters worse, he made the comparison comparing the flu deaths based on a year's worth of contagion, versus about three to four weeks for coronavirus.

Pure idiocy.
