No they weren't. Whoever gave you this information is wrong, and that 'company' you know was probably breaking the law.
-
No but I have living grandparents in their 80s and parents in their late 50s. I don't want either of them dying from this, I actually care about more than myself.
-
Yeah that's a good way to marginalize the 70k number as being insignificant. I see that happen universally by people who see this as no big deal. "Yeah but it's only 0.02% of people." Let's put it this way 70k people is over double my city dead in 9 weeks. Sounds a bit different when you put it in that perspective instead of turning it into a marginalized stat. Oh and this is with preventative measures on place too so realize how much worse it would be without them.
-
We're doomed.

34k people died from the flu last year, nearly 70k from this in 9 weeks with nearly 3k a day at this point. Even the worst year in the last 10, 2 years ago had 61k cases. You can't be any more wrong.
-
It isn't about perfection... they haven't been close to any projection in testing. How can they project millions of vaccines when there isn't even a vaccine found yet? It's one thing to be optimistic but this is just unfounded guessing by them at best and at worst lying.
-
Based upon every other promise they have given I would be completely skeptical of any timeline they are projecting.
-
Yeah gotta save the money, wont someone please think of the money!!!! Also what you are seeing is a product of staying at home and social distancing working. If none of that was put in place what you're seeing in New York would have been every major city in this country.
-
Or maybe it is the numbers piling up from that election that wasn't postponed...
-
Do you have some sourcing on those numbers?
-
Maybe a model of how things would look if people didn't listen. Imagine if we had their percentages attached to our population.
-
Yeah I have noticed more traffic when going to work over the last week. I just hope this isn't us unclipping from our parachute 1000' above ground.
-
I mean Biden is on TV all the time, only so much he can do from home in that regard. I get your point though, but that comes with the territory of being president, Trump is seen more which mean his foibles will show up as easier.
-
Please don't take this politically, but I am curious what you would like for Biden to do. I have seen other people take issue with him, and I am just curious what he could be doing beyond what he is already doing.
-
It is impossible and with a deadly virus no less. This idea of herd immunity is a fallacy that will not work unless done naturally.
-
Camping/boating/golfing yes but still with social distancing. As for the spiking that is typical for a Tuesday as the weekend has been undercounted. What need to do is take Saturday to Tuesday and divide by 4 to get a more real estimate.
-
Yeah that would fall under those I would think open.
-
My thought is pulling back on some recreational things, with work opening up closer to May 15th or after Memorial Day.
-
Yep that is why we can't open everything up. The hospitals are near capacity right now and would be inundated if things just opened right back up.

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/florida-beach-reopen-coronavirus-mad-dash-075308141.html I wouldn't trust drone photos to be accurate. There were many beaches that had the same reaction yesterday.
-
It could be worse, we could live in Florida where an idiot is the governor there. How on earth do you open the beaches right now down there.
-
Toronto is one of the fastest growing metro areas over the last 20 years. I don't know what you are getting at with this but it couldn't be any further from the truth.
-
Lets say the death rate is 0.5% and everyone gets it in this country, that is still 1.5 million dead people. People grasp at percentages because it minimizes the problem.
-
Yes but the rate of being very sick isn't low and if this virus isn't treated as being very dangerous that number would skyrocket as would the death rate. Remember these numbers we have are with precautions in place, can you imagine what it would be like without them?
-
That's a good point too that nearly 700k people have been tested for it but what if I told you the actual number of cases was 10 or 20x that. Just look at the numbers coming off these Navy ships, that over 50% of the cases are asymptomatic. So you know there are millions in this country who may be infected and not even remotely realize it.
