Darwinism...

in effect that's what happened during the 3-year run of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that ultimately killed 50 million people worldwide. Some researchers say that 100% of the people "caught it." Most survived it and afterwards established a worldwide immunity to that strain of the virus. If true, the death of 50 million people is a high price to pay. I suppose the world could have done the same thing with C-19. Survivors would have a built-in immunity to it. But what would the 2020 price tag have been in lost lives?

The projections are down BECAUSE OF what we did. That was the whole point.

From 1m+ to 60 k...ok I have a bridge to sell you. Call me.

You can't be serious. You don't think the 10's of millions of people staying home hasn't had an effect on reducing massive transmission? We'll know soon enough. Some countries most probably including the U.S. will lift restrictions that have been put into place too soon and this will cause new waves of infection.

We're not going to be out of this predicament until everyone has gotten it or we have a vaccine. This is a highly efficiently spread novel virus.

Completely serious. If you believe the models, which took social distancing into the formula, had predictions of 1 to 2M and now they are predicting 60-65k is because of our actions you unbelievably gullible.

I am huh. Well, that's interesting. Please tell me your expertise in modeling, epidemiology, and disease transmission rates for this particular virus.

I will stand by and wait for you to demonstrate how you have more expertise in this area. I'm all ears.

Or Office Space type "flair" like a pin on button for those special occasions.

That said the problem with this is people will even figure out a way to counterfeit that (and probably for profit). No different than the people who say their dog is a service pet just so it can go with them on vacation.

According to CNN (not my favorite source), literally 42.2% of all Coronavirus deaths to date in the U.S. are in the state of New York (7,067 deaths). Throw in nearby New Jersey (1,709), and those two states alone represent 52.4% of all Coronavirus deaths in the United States as of today.

Those are fascinating statistics.

By contrast, the other 6 "largest" U.S. states by population --such as California (547 deaths), Florida (371), Illinois (529), Pennsylvania (365), Texas (223) and Ohio (213)-- pale in comparison, and represent only 13.4% of total deaths COMBINED.

This is a NewYork/New Jersey virus, and the rest of us are simply outliers forced to play along.

That’s because the majority of the infected people who entered the country flew into NYC/NJ the largest and most densely populated area in the US. It’s also the area of the country where mass transit is widespread which also contributed to the spread. And of course throughout the country from there.

You make a very strong argument for stronger immigration and border control.

That said, according to Pew Research, Texas is tied for 2nd with New York for immigrant population, and both states trail California in the same category. And yet, despite having equally as large or larger immigrant populations as New York, both Texas and California are very far behind New York when it comes to the number of deaths due to Coronavirus.

I do understand and agree with the mass transit argument. But New York's problem is, that isn't going away.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20...s-in-size/

the infected people that flew into New York from Europe came for business/pleasure and it has nothing to do with immigration. covid 19 was not spread throughout the US by migrants sneaking across the border. it was spread by people with passports flying into the country legally.

So, back to my original point....this truly is a New York/New Jersey problem. Regardless of how New York got it.....the fact remains that more than half of the Coronavirus deaths are centered in those two states, while the other 48 states and DC share the other 45% of deaths.

The guys doing the modeling need to go back modeling global warming...

Models are only as good as the assumptions, which were obviously poor. The issue is not that the models are wrong (lots of models are wrong), but when you are using a model to continually push out the resumption of economic activity date, that’s when it better be right. That said, the lack of readily available testing is limiting not only the modeling but the ability for the company to slowly get back to work. The federal government has completely botched this response
