    Earlier in the thread I posted a chart of some data that showed the mortality rate for those under <30 was essentially zero. What we didn't know was how many folks in that data had actually been tested. This chart shows that in South Korea (where they have been testing thousands of people per day) that the young adult crowd is massively infected but feeling fine and thus spreading the virus to everybody else.

    Yeah, but is your cane at least 6 feet long?

    Heard on one of the news stations today that Italia is allowing "some" restaurants to remain open, as long as the tables were spaced 1.5m apart (just under 6', the Europeans cover their mouths when they sneeze I guess).

    Par for the course from the MAGA Mensa Tribe we have in this White House.   This is really inexcusable.

    Differently. 

    For the record, a very similar process happened in Italy as people in the north tried to flee to the south of the country.  The end result of that were large groups of infected people coming into the south, exacerbating the spread.

    These kind of things are avoidable with proper planning and execution.   Unfortunately we have neither.  Watching it happen in another country only to repeat their mistake is abysmal.

    I thought we had plans in place, especially after the other recent outbreaks.  The virus is now present in every state save WV, so I'm thinking the horse has already left the barn.  
     
     
    And, since this thread is sinking, I'll post this viciously funny video I saw this morning.  NSFW, but we're all at home right now anyway, right?

    Ok, so how would you do it? 
    You place extra Customs Border Patrol staff at all the designated airports to deal with the wave of travelers that will surely bottleneck when they arrive. That didn't happen, which is why people are pissed. This isn't rocket science. And it hasn't happened in other countries; they've managed to enact airport screenings without creating petri dishes that spread disease.

    Look, we all love to suit up in our red and blue armor to defend our team. But this is a crisis that bears on everyone's health and safety. It's important that we be clear-eyed.

    In no way did I say anything negative, all I asked was how he’d do it. I completely agree with what you posted, regardless of red or blue. There’s far too much of that on here for me to even try to contend with.

    Got it. And I didn't mean for my post to seem at all antagonistic. I've got tons of friends and family who view politics differently than I do, and that's great. This country depends on diversity of opinion, and people are made of more than their party affiliation. Apologies if it seemed like I had my dukes up.

    I recorded Fareed Zakaria's GPS show on CNN earlier this morning; he interviewed Dr. Friedman, former chair of the CDC.  It will be broadcast again in about an hour; very highly recommended.

    Not trying to lessen the concern here as the virus is moving extremely quickly and will continue for a while.  But to what extent is the population hype fueled by the media hype??  I don't know the right balance but I am confident that the constant exposure to the media hype is only compounding the populace and its fear.  

    Its the flu. 58,000 people die of the flu and pneumonia each year in the US. This is being hyped by the dems to make Trump look bad before the election. If Biden or Bernnie get in how fast will all this go away?

    There I said it. Flame on! 
    You are 100% correct. Liberals have even said this is their opening. its a sad sad day when a political party is wishing something like this on the American people 

    Them and the media have weaponized this for political gain I just hope people remember it when election time is here
