Still using Italy as my worst case barometer.

At .001 infection rate with .10 mortality rate.

If we copy that over 300,000,000 Americans, I get 30,000 deaths.

Just looking for honest debate. What am I doing wrong here?

I'm glad one person remembers when that bitch, Nancy Pelosi said, "we have to pass it to find out what's in it" (as she smiled and laughed), regarding Obama care. Let's see the house passes a bill, it goes to the Senate, the senate passes their version and the two get together and compromise, then they vote on the final bill, both the house and Senate then pass the final bill, it goes to President to be signed into law, he can sign or veto. I'm real sure this is how it works, It is safe to say, until they house and Senate get together and work out the compromise bill, we have nothing but two starting positions, both with things they know won't pass muster, but rather a negotiating point.

I see what you are saying, but the HR vote already passed and should be under scrutiny by the public as it heads to Senate.We should be able to see bills if there are vote ready and brought to the floor.

Even todays vote was already voted on the floor, so it was a "final version" if it had passed. If we cannot see it until it passes, what is the point.

ABC's Good Morning America could only bother to spend 10 seconds on their own poll finding that 55% of Americans approve of the President's handling of the crisis. "Our anxiety over coronavirus is growing as the outbreak spreads across the country," co-host Amy Robach explained as she reported on the new poll results during a news brief. Going through the results, Robach just briefly mentioned public approval of President Trump's crisis management increasing. "A new ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 79% of those asked are concerned they or someone they know will become infected. And people also finding more support for President Trump's handling of this crisis - 55% approve of the President's performance. Last week, it was just at 43%."

Wow! What a concept! But no, they would rather label them useless and something else to bitch about. Pragmatism is in short supply these days.

While the rubber band on the mask is certainly better than no mask at all, in an infectious medical environment those N-95 masks should be fit to the individual and rotted straps may severely hinder that safety requirement.

Denialism: noun. a person's choice to reject a reality as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth; an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of a historical experience or event, when a person refuses to accept an empirically verifiable reality.

Donald Trump, speaking on February 26th: "You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."

Donald Trump, speaking on March 17th: "I have always known this is a real pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

There is a bunch of people wanting the government to pay everyone 80% of their salaries..... how much wouldthatcost?

Roughly 500 billion per month.

I get that number by taking average salary of 35000k for 150 million working citizens.

Divide salary by 12 and times by .8 then by 150 million.

This isn't exact but a rough estimate.
