An observation --State and local governments are going to be in a cash squeeze if businesses stay closed.

And that's where the federal government should be stepping in. You know, that government you hate so much.

Think of it this way: All those people who are gonna end up suffering? They're just very old baybeez. Protect them.

I watched your video. The first thing she did is assume a 45% infection rate.

Yeah I get that everyone is just guessing, but where is there even a scintilla of evidence this will get to 20%, let alone 45%?

I literally showed you the numbers for 5% so who cares about 20%.

330 million x .05 = 16.5 million
16.5 million x .05 (the critical care rate in China) = 825,000

We dont have that many ventilators most likely in this country let alone that many free ones.

I get you are trying to stay calm but ignoring math is just plain ridiculous. If 9 out of 10 people DONT have it and 9 out of 10 of the ones who do have it DONT need ventilators we are still screwed. If 95 out of hundred dont have it, and 95 out of a hundred out of the ones that do dont need critical care we are still screwed.

My employer is closing doors to all buildings in the nation except for Vice President approved people. Indefinitely.

The problem is though that nobody’s sister is making a video saying 0.1% will get this or 5% will get it. Instead we have people like your Twitter doctor or the California governor claiming 45% which freaks people out, including many here, when there is no basis for it. It’s like Trump saying we’ll have a vaccine next week. No scientific basis for it and it’s extremely misleading and counter-productive.

Also, keeps private for six months who Trump awards money to from his $500 billion slush fund.

Is it better to over-react when taking precautions, or under-react?

Maybe people need to be scared. It's the only way to get them to not be selfish pr!cks, and do the right thing for a change.

IINM there is a Lancet article which posits the final infection rate at most probably 20-40%. From there it talks about a 1-2% fatality rate.

Apply those numbers to the US population (330M) and you get 660,000 - 2,640,000.

Fatalities.

We just got told one of our union stewards is now hospitalized with it (not from the company, mind you).

We've been getting our temperature taken as we enter the building since Saturday. I came in with a balmy 95.3 today. Yesterday someone registered a 68. We're pretty sure they might be dead. Who said this virus didn't produce zombies?

Im curious if you consider the CDC’s potential 160 million to 210 million possible infections to be the same as Dr. Twitter

A whole lot of people are going to be in a cash squeeze. Financially this sucks for working people who no longer have jobs.

He's got data, and stuff.

I think it’s unrealistic.

But that’s the nice thing. I guess we’ll see. I’m sure there will be plenty of people around here to rub it in my face.

The one thing we know is that the US response has been extraordinarily sub-optimal, from what I’ve read here, so I won’t have to listen to people explain away the numbers that way if we’re nowhere near 160 million.
