Has it hit you yet that best case scenario predicts 100,000-240,000 COVID19 deaths, and that's just in the U.S.?

That's a lot of people for "best case".

    Only your Dear Leader would think that outcome with mean he did a very good job.  And now Pence is blaming China and the CDC for the administration not doing something quickly enough.

    There is no "best case" in any of this. All the numbers quoted are worst case. What really makes it worse is that there are way too many zeros in these figures.

    Yep. Potentially more Americans than died in WWII and 9/11. Combined. 

    But President Caligula says his poll numbers are higher, so then it all worked out.

    That is actually not what the Drs said.  They said if we continue the recommendations, we can drive that number down.   That that model drives a lot from NY and NJ numbers.  The other 48 states are possible not to reach such levels.

  • Never fear, we're picking up steam hear.  In the last couple of days in my county six cases have popped up.  People are complacent with that "It won't happen here/to me" crap.  EVERYONE should be sheltering in place!

    We have more cases but ours are not as serious. Worldwide serious cases are 5%. USA 2-3% serious cases. 

    End of Day stats for Apr 1 2020.

    Whoever posts something like this without a date should be shot.  Not you; you copied it.  It gives you the weather, battery power, and time but no date.  This drives me crazy on Facebook too.  Shoot Shoot Shoot

    I'm expecting more than 1,000,000 deaths from this.

  • Probably a lot more.  We're going to run out of medical personnel.
