I'm saying on a pure math basis the deaths would be way too many to do it this way here

I've always gotten along with Phin we have the same perspective on many things...not all but many. He can handle it and if not he'll be ok eventually

Sweden is doing the herd mentality thing. Population 10 million 13,000 confirmed cases 1,400 deaths so a 10% death rate so far. US population roughly 330 million I'll let you do the math if we went herd. I'm just as ready as anyone to get back at it but I'm not sure this would have been the right way. I apologize in C.A.P.E already posted lol

My bad dude I stopped reading your posts when winter ended.

I guess it's only old people dying

The car and swimming and smoking argument is silly imo. You dont spread or catch any of those things...well there is second hand smoke but I'm sure you enjoy sucking in someone else's newports...good try though Dr. Phil I mean Dr. Phin

California extended lockdown till mid May at the earliest. I honestly think May is toast and June 1st will end up being the target. We will just have to rely on Idaho, Wyoming and North Dakota to carry the economy in May...oh and the WWE in Florida

Where the wind be at?

Define gross mismanagement? I'm not sure you and I are tracking on this one but it's ok neither one of us is going to fix or solve the problem. Hopefully we are lead out of this with solid direction and care. Off to sell more milk....I'm profoundly thankful to still be employed and insured during this time. I thank my lucky stars every minute of every day. Peace all

To be clear I have zero clue how to get out of this or when to start back up. My thoughts are my own opinions and I simply believe the ball was dropped hard and the hard decisions that need to be made now are in suspect hands

1% tested

Define massive because aren't we still under 1% of the population? Feels like a ball dropped to me.

Won't even crack an inch back here.

New cases popping up in Asia. There's only two choices in my mind. Get as many people tested and traced or be ok with it coming back in a real way

D?

I guess I'm stupid but all of this seems like a logical progression as more data comes in and more compliance takes place. To call something wrong for an initial suggestion and then to continue to say it's wrong as it adjusts with new information is odd to my stiff brain. The only error I see is broadcasting the numbers out without being explicit they will change daily. Sadly everyone was Ji on this one and thought 3' of snow coming in a month the Euro ensemble said so.

One thing I think is cool is seeing the pollution levels reducing in the world. Blue skies and visibility of many miles exposing wonderful views in the world is awesome

Would the mortality rate really be much lower if everyone who was truly infected kept interacting in public as normal? I know chicken egg theory but I think any conversation about numbers and % needs to be framed in the social distancing quarantine vs not doing those things. My opinion of course...I really want this to end soon I'm tired of trying to juggle milk supply daily to my customers...phones ringing all day from Hannaford to Stop and Shop Giant Harris Teeter Publix etc. The volume of orders is through the roof

If this doesn't prove that the Dow and the everyday worker are not connected.

It's a little windy out...like an invisible blizzard

Interesting statement from Dr. Birx that there are a million tests at Abbott labs that are in backlog because the testing machines are down. I want the country back open sooner rather than later but dang let's know how many and where and get this thing totally contained first and then come back strong!

Also saw that less than 0.5% of Virginians have been tested. Really not sure how we contain this beast when we truly don't know how many have it and where. I know there is some sort of sick love affair with the death total but honestly if we don't stop the spread the death total will just continue to accumulate and I don't give a rats ass how fast that happens it will just continue. If we are ok with that then I guess open this bad boy up May 1st...that will make Phineas happy

Apologies if this was discussed or even disputed but the model everyone is using saying the predictions of total deaths keep going down some of the metrics used are that it assumes a Wuhan style lockdown until the end of May to achieve those numbers. Call me skeptical but I'm not sure that's what is happening in the USA

Good luck with that

Whew I'm glad this is all over now that the models are backing off. I'm going to the movies
