Coronavirus RESPECTFUL Discussion Only! (Mod edit: Closed)

When thousands in the US die from this, get back to me. I can only work with facts.

Factual, objective, data projection models have been presented to you by experts who work in the field of epidemiology, yet because those are models that involve projection, and are not a direct representation of what is occurring at present, those models are therefore not factual? Unreal.

You don't "only work with facts"; you only work with the facts that you want to work with, and conveniently exclude legitimate facts that do not support your perspective.

The word I'm looking for starts with an 'H' and ends with 'risy'.

I think both the NBA and NHL seasons are over. They won't be able to get back to playing in time without comprising next year's seasons.

Never would've figured him for a Trump supporter!

Thanks, we can blame Trump for that, too!

They could still hold the playoffs. Just seed based on the current standings.

So the models you've seen show this slowing down in a few weeks? Source please.

Agree it will slow down, ultimately, question is when.

Mass testing initiative is getting off the ground? Where? Source again. I don't see it with a total lack of available kits. If kits are available in a few weeks, is this also in line with spread slowing down in a few weeks?

I just read today that the test kits will be available in two to three weeks. They expect to see a large spike shortly thereafter. We'll see how and where it's trending afterwards.

But there’s no 10-15% fatality rate for certain age demographics. That’s the (big) difference.

"Available in two to three weeks". ************. What an amazing failure from this country.

I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like this post is going to age horribly.

QM already broke down the numbers using conservative estimates. If we end up with only 5 digits of deaths from this thing I think that will be a huge victory.

That would be in line with casualties from the flu.

2-3 weeks also sounds a lot like “we have no idea, so here’s a timeframe that will get you stop barking up this tree for a while.”

It depends when the ban is lifted on large gatherings. IMO that will be the last thing to come back for fear of transmission. I am not sure that happens by the summer when they would have to start the playoffs at the latest.

I'm sorry, but data projections are not the same as actual numbers. So are you people now hoping that thousands die to make Obama look good?

It really pains me to have to ask this, but do you honestly not understand why comparing the death toll post H1N1 to COVID in its incipient stages might, you know, not make much sense?

Did you even click on the link? The poll was by Gallup, hardly an outlier organization.

Now you're just lying. Quoting from your linked "article" dated Feb. 7, 2018: "according to a new Quinnipiac University poll." Not Gallup. It is the WEBSITE I called "outlier" -- thehill.com

Economic data can be spun in many ways.

No spin whatsoever. I linked you to multiple sources, all reputable.

My point is that people are much happier with the economy NOW than when Obama was President - I'm talking about real people.

"Real" people vs. artificial people? OK. The only point you have is the one atop your head.

We've seen the epic failure of their alarmist "climate models."

He is incapable of understanding.
