Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

Not gonna wait until then. Gonna give you regular reminders, in front of everybody, of what an ignoramus you are.
Tell you what, if we exceed 12,000 US deaths by July 31 will you sign off from here forever? We need to cull the herd.

interesting choice of words....culling the herd. espola is supposedly in that category.

since I'm under 40 and healthy my chance of surviving this is 99.9%, I think ill be fine. If you have underlying conditions and over 70, you might want to quarantine yourselves. don't ruin life and the economy for the rest of us.

Do you think picking a big number like 12,000 dead makes you look like less of a monster?

a big number would be 40,000+ people killed by the flu every year. To include of 500+ kids. If the coronavirus is worse than the flu, why aren't the same people crying over the virus that is the number 8 leading cause of death in the U.S.?

Swine flu that killed 12,000 is actually a low number. It didn't hit the U.S. until April of 2009. It missed the peak flu season months of 2009. We got the coronavirus in January, right before the peak months of February and March. By Pandemic standards, if the corona virus is worse that the swine flu, we should be going way past the 12,000 numbers by the end of the year.

We have no herd immunity nor vaccine. So left unchecked this would go well past your numbers, period. I will listen to the experts. Not idiots like you who believe what trump says.

We have programs to limit the effect of the seasonal flu. Imagine what those numbers would be like if there were no herd immunity from previous infections, no specific vaccines, and no proven cures available.

Absolutely. And I want you gone the day we hit 12,000, with an apologetic farewell about how you don't believe scientific and medical experts and that makes you ignorant. I will sign off and acknowledge my closed-minded arrogance for believing the "experts" on 7/31 if we are not at 12,000 deceased in the US.

That's a loaded question. I don't like anyone dying. but what does that make you look like when you care more about a virus that is dangerous to your age group than a virus like the swine flu and seasonal flu that kills more people?

Although I tend to agree with you, you have ended up on the wrong side of the bet. I pray the troll wins in this case . . . first time for everything.

the experts also said 56% of California would get infected. they significantly lowered that assessment.

listen to what you are saying. we have programs to limit the effect of the seasonal flu. we have vaccines for the flu. You are worried about a virus that is no where near as fatal seasonal flu with all its protective measures.
