Okay, a few quotes from you guys in a sec. I'll go back and find my 5fold death increase post... that will help a lot with whether we're growing crazy fast, very fast, or slow enough to go "wow not even exponential anymore" (i.e., not even doubling in a week.)
I believe the count stood at 300; 1500 by next weekend would be a continuation of that week's 5-fold trend.
Re: today's presser, well fark. Two possibilities, remembering that we're in a demented reality show:
1) The Pres will talk about "getting the country open again," but he'll keep listening to the doctors, and then say the never trumper democrat doctors are responsible for the continuing economic effects, or
2) He's serious. He has not yet called GM to produce vans with the exhaust vented to the back passenger compartment.
Moving on.
This virus isnt going anywhere if staying inside is the only way to combat this.
1 case has already exploded into a world wide pandemic.
It's literally impossible for the entire world to stay inside until there is officially no cases left.
Something has to change.
You need to read up on the purpose of social distancing. It is not curative. It is to slow down the spread and spread out the hit to our overwhelmed health resources.
Coincidentally, effective social distancing gives us more
time to find cures etc.
I find nice that a Jets fan is here with us Why do you like it ?
Just curious...thanks
He especially likes it because the TFB/BB era is now just the BB era, and he's been waiting 20 years to give a damn about football after Thanksgiving.
I don't know how Ian has done it, but this really is the best football forum online, and it isn't really close. Though I'd love to believe that Patriots fans are more intelligent than others, we all know that's just fan chest thumping, so the question is how he's been able to filter out the most articulate members from the idiots. 90% of the football forums read like Twitter with 140 characters per post and just sheer stupidity. Gang Green isn't horrible (one of the better ones with full paragraphs) but isn't this forum either. You just don't get that stinking muck here that most forums have.
Ian's the greatest, and he's got the combination of light touch and eventual spine that it took to keep the loonies
sort of on the path for so long. It's probably good that it was shut so long. Well, still is. BUT, this place also had an insanely rich resource in Miguel's cap page (now it's own site I believe.) That created a culture of not just blurting out every random concept that crossed the sports media... and then there's all the homework we all did when we smelled some doo doo regarding the league*'s railroading attempts. We tended to do some linkin and some thinkin...
34 in Louisiana, 25 in Georgia, small states yet in top 6 in deaths.
This thing is exploding by the minute. Florida will explode with cases and deaths because of the elderly population.
A stationary population of retirees recently hosting (pun intended) an influx of idiot spring breakers?
That's going to be a zero to sixty situation.
You're slipping 60, it's Chii na virus.
Here's a feel good story. We finally got the asian Americans to immerse themselves in the American culture. They're getting them some guns.
Spit On, Yelled At, Attacked: Chinese Americans Fear For Their Safety
"Do you feel lucky?"
I refuse to change the spelling. Come on it's 2020.
Doesn't help at all. Whatsoever.
I guarantee you, Florida numbers are much much larger than everyone realizes. It's a powder keg.
Yep.
I'm going to go drag up the 4-week, 5fold death numbers. I'll do it periodically. It will be a simple, in-house measure that helps us tell how fast it's getting worse.
