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

I know, right? What an embarrassing picture to post as a way to “prove your point”.

What about " Yours ".....

So you did watch him.
I watched a one minute clip of the part where he played his propaganda video. I had heard so much about what a humiliating display of hubris it was that I finally had to break down and see what was so bad about it. The man is a 3 year old.

I get that you have your strong views on illegal immigration, etc, but you want THIS guy as your torch bearer? That is what continues to baffle me. As horrible as I think your viewpoints are at least choose someone who a) actually believes what he is saying, and b) doesn’t have the temperament and attention span of your typical toddler.

And you couldn’t beat him?
Maybe that says more about you people than us people.
Is Biden going to beat Trump?

Why is everything about beating "the other guy" with you MAGA people? You boil everything down to "our team" winning over "the other guys". It's like a massive rivalry built up inside your head and it has blinded you to critical thinking.

I have some Trump voters in my circle of friends. Not a lot, granted, but a few. There seem to be different types. Some voted for Trump as a protest vote. Some voted out of a hatred of Hillary and assumed the GOP would reign Trump's worst instincts in. And some are like you, that is consumed with beating "the other guy" Of the first 2 categories, without exception, they regret their vote. The last category they seem to be holding firm though I've seen some cracks in a few.

Only time will tell but if I were you I wouldn't hold onto 2020 being like 2016. Some of the recent routs the GOP have suffered at the ballot box seem to bear this out.

Antibody study suggests coronavirus is far more widespread than previously thought
Non-peer reviewed study from Stanford found rate of virus may be 50 to 85 times higher than official figures


A new study in California has found the number of people infected with coronavirus may be tens of times higher than previously thought.

The study from Stanford University, which was released Friday and has yet to be peer reviewed, tested samples from 3,330 people in Santa Clara county and found the virus was 50 to 85 times more common than official figures indicated.

To ease the sprawling lockdowns currently in place to stop the spread of Covid-19, health officials must first determine how many people have been infected. Large studies of the prevalence of the virus within a region could play a key role, researchers say.

“This has implications for learning how far we are in the course of the epidemic,” said Eran Bendavid, the associate professor of medicine at Stanford University who led the study. “It has implications for epidemic models that are being used to design policies and estimate what it means for our healthcare system.”

The study marks the first large-scale study of its kind in the US, researchers said. The study was conducted by identifying antibodies in healthy individuals through a finger prick test, which indicated whether they had already contracted and recovered from the virus. Volunteers for the study were recruited through Facebook ads, which researchers say were targeted to capture a representative sample of the county’s demographics and geography.

At the time of the study, Santa Clara county had 1,094 confirmed cases of Covid-19, resulting in 50 deaths. But based on the rate of participants who have antibodies, the study estimates it is likely that between 48,000 and 81,000 people had been infected in Santa Clara county by early April.

That also means coronavirus is potentially much less deadly to the overall population than initially thought. As of Tuesday, the US’s coronavirus death rate was 4.1% and Stanford researchers said their findings show a death rate of just 0.12% to 0.2%.

The study has been interpreted by some to mean we are closer to herd immunity – the concept that if enough people in a population have developed antibodies to a disease that population becomes immune – than expected. This would allow some to more quickly get back to work, a strategy currently being deployed in Sweden. But researchers behind the study said not to jump to conclusions or make policy choices until more research has been done.
 
Are shelter in place orders constitutional?
Yes.

”The U.S. Supreme Court has long agreed that the states have police powers of this sort. In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), Chief Justice John Marshall observed that the police powers, that "immense mass of legislation," as he put it, "which embraces every thing within the territory of a State, not surrendered to the federal government," includes "quarantine laws" and "health laws of every description."

On Saturday, California residents took to the streets of San Diego County, which went for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintonin 2016, to protest strict social distancing guidelines, demanding the economy be opened back up.

The protesters held up signs and lined the street as fist-pumping cyclists and honking drivers showed their support as they passed by. Some of the spotted signs included, “open California now,” “all business is essential,” “liberate San Diego,” “no more lockdowns,” “I am so totally over this,” and “a womens [sic] place is in the house or the governor’s house.” There were also American flags and some “Trump 2020” flags in sight.

The protest is one of the many popping up across the nation. In Michigan, for example, thousands of cars hit the state Capitol on Wednesday, beeping and causing gridlock to protest the strict and inconsistent lockdown from Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In North Carolina, folks called for the lockdown to be ended, too, where one of the protesters was even arrested for supposedly not maintaining proper “social distancing.” In Texas, we saw folks demanding their county reopen. And a handful of other states have seen anti-lockdown protests, including Minnesota and parts of upstate New York.
California is just the latest in the trend. And it’s easy to see why.
