Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Hunerwadel]

I want to be serious for just a moment and give everyone a word of caution. The next 2 weeks will seem very unsettling. It will seem like there is a runaway train of infection and death hitting our country. The media will sensationalize it to the extreme.
The context of what we will witness is really a perfect storm of 3 things:
1. continued spread of infection (even if slowed by sheltering),
2. increased testing results in increased positives (even if the percentage of infection remains flat),
3. increased mortality due to the normal time between contracting the virus and the time it takes those at risk to succumb. The exponential growth in cases over the last two weeks means more deaths will occur.

Exposure to the virus does not guarantee infection. Infection does not guarantee a fight for you life.

Please keep your wits about you. Try not to buy into any hysteria pushed by the media. Consider the context of the numbers you hear about. We are almost over the crest of this wave. But it may seem very bleak in the coming days.

Good post. Go here: COVID-19 Map then click on "Data Center" and scroll down. Every country's curve has flattened except the US. Of course we were late to the party. This is from Johns Hopkins.

Are they morons too?

She's not a moron, she's an accomplished politician... which cold be considered an oxymoron by some. But this wouldn't be an isolated example.

 

[volfanjustin]

Anybody here agree with this nonsense? What a load of horse sh!t.

Oh I can think of a few that would agree

 

[volfanjustin]

She's singing to her choir, that's what politicians do.

She's playing the race card, which is what democrat politicians do

Italy posted almost essentially same numbers for new cases and deaths from yesterday to today.

Pelosi wanting to add pork in to a bill for unemployment.

and Mnuchin wanted to have 500 billion to allocate as he pleased without having to report where it was going, or at least being able to put it off until next year. A compromise was reached and it passed. Now the administration is suing to stop the Inspector General having oversight, per the agreement of the compromise agreed to.

Wonder why NYC numbers are insane??

Millions of people packed in like sardines is a recipe for mass exposure.

Then they are practicing social silence.

which plays perfectly into the hands of politicians whose shtick is to call out people for playing the race card. one hand washes the other.

I bet they run every Chinese person out of that country and seize all the Chinese owned businesses there

What would you like him to say? People have jobs that keep the city running..

 

[BisonVol]

What a moron

She's one of the dumbest human beings in America. Everything is about race with her.

she shouldn't get that anymore than Mnuchin should get his half trillion dollar slush fund. Looks like they both won and we all lost

alot of people had jobs too - so whats the point Einstein ?

“To keep from getting it”. The benefit is to keep from spreading it. You wearing the mask won’t help you keep from getting it. But they are starting to believe it will slow the spread by preventing those who have it from giving it to others.

So, we should avoid people wearing masks because they are infected?

DiBlasio just says Trump should do something.

Not what I said

Job numbers are in for March. 701,000 jobs lost. Unemployment at 4.4%.

I asked in the other thread how they calculated the unemployment rate. My wording was horrible, so I think it came across as I had gotten furloughed. I was just wondering if furloughed workers were counted in their numbers.

I don’t know , were they not the ones that encouraged their people to go up and hug the person from China to show they weren’t racist before it broke out there ?

She refers to herself as a woman of color. To me, she looks like a white Hispanic, like Zimmerman.
