So B1's church decides (since they are all constitutional scholars).... that they can congregate with as many people as they so choose. And to top it off, they decide not wear masks, as God will certainly protect them, his faithful servants. A few weeks later they all become sick and die. They get to heaven and ask God... "why didn't you protect us?" God responds..... "That's what the masks were for you idiots."
Today, Italy continues to show confirming evidence that the outbreak has peaked. Good for you Italy!!!
The outbreak in Spain has now shown drastic evidence that the peak has happened. Great News Barcelona!!!
This is my analysis of the evidence. Linear charts of the number of cases will not show the peak, but the peak indeed has occurred and perhaps even in The US. This thing is essentially over save for the cleanup. State governments, especially in blue states will make restrictions last for quite a while longer.
If you were to extrapolate the figures from The Diamond Princess Cruise ship and apply it to The US total population, this would result in a total of 10,000 deaths. This would be less than the flu every year. It is now high time for these state governments to open their states back up for business.
I offer up a "like" for this post, not because I necessarily agree or disagree, but as with the political discussions, I think we should support any thinking outside of the robo-post, trance state culture that exists amongst the ones who dwell in the lower realms of consciousness here. Mr. Buy1 has taken a view and a position and presents it daily. Similarly, there was quite a lengthy back and forth of posts a few days ago, back and forth between Capt. O and and Cocho about whether we should just let the virus rip and maintain the economy or whether virus control measures should be the priority regardless of economic impact. Quite a good discussion actually and I should have given them "likes" because they were offering up their thinking versus robo-posts and robo-links. Any discussion outside the socially and politically prescribed trance-states is beneficial I think.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_United_States_flu_season The CDC estimates that, as of March 2020, the 2019–20 United States flu season has caused infections among 36 million people, resulting in 370,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths. [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017–18_United_States_flu_season The 2017-2018 flu season was severe for all US populations and resulted in an estimated 959,000 hospitalizations and 61,099 deaths. This is the highest number of patient claims since the 2009 flu season.[10] 186 pediatric deaths were reported to the CDC.[3] It is estimated there were more than 600 pediatric deaths related to influenza. This estimation is made because every child death is not tested for influenza.
