What?? The numbers are FAAAAARR better even without the three months! They should be worse, not much better, if the model is to be believed. You're forgetting there is a time axis on that chart! What a joke. Take your fear mongering somewhere that people fall for it. We don't anymore. Some of us never did. To sum up: "Deaths will be 466k if you don't do anything!" "Deaths will be 185k if you put in 3 months social distancing!" Put one month in and deaths are just above zero.
Their feverish minds are all about conspiracies and monsters out to get them. God forbid they should look under their bed.
The only thing that Florida may have going in its favor is environmental.... it certainly is not the government response. If the coronavirus is reduced by sunlight and humidity then Florida may have this going in its favor to help eliminate the spread. However it is not proven yet if sunlight & humidity greatly impacts coronavirus in an outside environment.
What is proven is you'll be here yelling about coronavirus in 6 months while the rest of us move on with our lives. You'll still be telling us the wolf is coming.
You are revealing your truly ignorant nature again. The whole concept of prevention is to reduce the numbers. You can't rail against the method using the results altered by the method. Oh, I suppose you can and will but all that does is reveal your complete lack of understanding of science and complete lack of common sense. No surprise really you've been posting absolute horseshit about Canada and gun control for years here.
This Tsing guy has been posting stupid shit on here for years. I just hope someone doesn't get shot by this idiot at some point because it seems far more iikely then it should be.
Really the only response necessary on this is to post your all-time greatest hit. This essentially details your credibility on Planet Earth: To the administrators : Recent activity on your site has included significant slanderous activity involving my posts. For example, quoting out of context, and embelleshing what has been said to distort my message. As of today, several posters have attacked me personally including death threats and overall libelous content. This will be stopping today. What I am requesting immediately is the deletion of every single post in my history, and the removal of my account from this site. If you do not do this, I will be consulting a lawyer with respect to sueing your site for character defamation. Removal of my posting history is necessary to prevent the ongoing slander approach being used by several posters on this site. Please take this request seriously, recent legislation in our country has shown that this kind of online character assassination is illegal and actionable by law. - Nine_ender, September, 2011
Actually I have explained my view of the best policy many times. I have also backed my perspective with references from experts showing it is the best policy for a novel pandemic. In short - Do a universal lock-down for 60 days and then gradually re-open in stages. Each stage should have clear entry and exit criteria. This is the path that most of the U.S. is on. The states with intelligent leadership are following the recommendations from experts. Most states in the U.S. started their lock-downs in late March. This means most should be opening up in late May. Based on this - there are a number of states which are opening up two or three weeks too early --- and are likely to see a resurgence in coronavirus.
You need to remove the https:// usually, ET's media linking is rubbish. Yeah, the Limbaugh book, 350 pages odd and 30 buck hardback for suckers, but you know idiots will buy it. Since covid-19 primarily kills the republican voting base you would think they would care to preserve it or at least notice that the left is working harder to save them than their own leadership and think what's up with that.
