Yet when the shit hits the fan it will be people like you asking for sympathy because your grandpa is sick. It will be people like you looking to blame someone else.
All because you are too stupid to understand. I would feel sorry for your lack of critical thinking skills, but you don't deserve it... because with this, your stupidity is dangerous
Ran across this this morning. Interesting read, and gives us some optimism for a treatment.

I'm a rocket scientist ... not kidding. What do you do for a living? Of course being a rocket scientist doesn't necessarily make me brilliant or anything. I've also seen a lot of dumb, impractical people with a lot of "credentials" in my career. Just because someone has "MD or PhD" after their name doesn't mean they necessarily are at the top of their profession.Quote:

Not that I don't care about or have compassion for older folks but destroying the economy and younger folks' lives over this is something I'm questioning a good bit.
I don't have the answers and neither do you. However, I'm not freaking out about it. I imagine you're about 60 years old and are petrified. So let's declare marshall law so you can be safe.
Can you just try and not be a jerk for a little while? Please?Quote:

lol.Quote:

Its amazing you still dont understand. Why do you think other countries, states, and cities are doing a lock down? Do you think they are all listening to people with MDs and PHDs that are not at the top of the game? Do you think they are petrified?
My favorite part of your post is the one about destroying the economy. That shows me without a doubt you are horribly misinformed and short sighted. It shows me that you are so shortsighted you dont understand a quicker shutdown could mean a shorter one. The ironic thing about this is your attitude is the one that is going to hurt the economy MORE. Delaying the response is going to be worse on the country from a healthcare and a economic standpoint. Its baffling you choose to ignore this

You just attack and deflect with "My sources are better than yours" and "You're wrong, I'm right". Get a grip dude. That may be true sometimes but you really don't know anything other than what you're being told and even the experts are treading water right now trying to figure this out.
Why do you feel like you can state all of this like it's fact and tell others what is and what isn't?
Calm down!
Ok everybody, I'm from the government and I am here to help!
Feel better already? :cool: Trying to lighten the mood just a bit. Be safe and smart, we will get through this.
Because I'm going with the vast majority of the people that have been ahead of us on this. That's the thing. We have been watching this unfold in other countries.Quote:

So I'm confident, because of where I get my info. They are looking at what has actually happened...the ones shouting overeation.....well they are using "common sense" or listening to news that has deliberately tried to play this down.

Correct sources do matter, but by the same token, you don't want to be a lemming either!Quote:

You are casting blanket comments over anyone who waivers off of your beliefs and what you've read. Most may, in fact, be accurate but you aren't accomplishing anything other than being a dick who thinks they are going to be the one and the only person who said I told yall so or you know something as fact. Try a new approach.
At this point, even the experts you are reading from can't say they know a thing without a doubt about this and how things will play out. Stop pretending like there are and just play your part without trying your damndest to blatantly be obnoxious. When was the last time you listened to anyone who was being this way? Right or wrong. Most people choose to ignore or criticize people acting like you are.
Try something else because you clearly aren't successful at conveying the message you are attempting to convey.
Lessee .. he calls people stupid, pathethic, they're listening to wrong news sources, etc. etc. while wishing death on their family members cause they don't agree with him. All while running around like Chicken Little saying the sky is falling, yet he isn't afraid.Quote:

I learned a long time ago...people who proclaim to be "smart", are the biggest collection of dumbasses you can find. They generally have no reasoning abilities, nor interpersonal skills. They struggle with humanity in general.Quote:

Nope. Never wished death on anyone. But I guess lying is expected from someone like you.Quote:

And since you can't come up with an original intelligence response you use the tired old cliche of being scared.
Sorry you have been wrong about this all along. It's going to be interesting to see how long you dig your heels in and die on this hill.
again, you are the least chill deadhead of all time.Quote:

You get your information from people who used "unnamed sources" to bring America to the brink of riots in the street through the fabrication of a "Russian Collusion". Meanwhile, the sources you disparage were dead on correct throughout the entire farce. This is also not debatable.Quote:

This thread is not supposed to be political, and you've broken that rule. I know you believe your supposed higher intelligence has led you to be able to skirt the rule by not using actual names, but everyone here is smart enough to know who you mean (shocking to you, I'm sure!).
COVID-19 IS serious. Some here are taking it too lightly, I agree. But as I said earlier, both sides have politicized it, and that's bullshit on their part. Almost ALL US media sucks for reason or another. But, you, you're trying to add worthwhile discussion, but your personality and ideology just won't let you do it because you have to be a jerk 100% of the time.
In the last 24 hours?Quote:

A week from today, we'll be 30,000+. Unless something changes very quickly between now and then.Quote:

the fatality % cannot be calculated because no one has the number of infections. This is simple math and we don't have the numeratorQuote:

Update -
As of Wednesday morning there were 6,519 cases and 114 deaths in the United States. This is a 1.748% death rate - so far anyway.
We don't have the denominator. The denominator is the number below the line and is the standard to which to measure (i.e. total population of a group)Quote:

Meanwhile South Korea is still floating around 1%, with a much more realistic denominator than Italy, a closer >65 year old population to ours than Italy (23% for Italy, 16% for US, 14% for South Korea), but also a much quicker response than us or Italy.Quote:

And I'm really just posting it more to show the trend. It's not getting better. Yet.
Italy's health care system is in shambles. The quality of medical care someone receives contributes a lot to whether a person makes it or not.
Edit: I think I meant half of my reply to be to the guy who told me to stop, lol
South Korea also announced they are starting their pro basketball leagues back in 2 weeks. Unclear if fans can attend but they are feeling optimistic about things (seemingly).Quote:

Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.
The link I posted shows that their cases have almost plateaued over the last week.Quote:
