Looks like red state workers are choosing to work versus staying home. Infections are almost exclusively bad in blue states though.

Demographics. Pop up a daily plane flight path map of the world.

The U.S. and U.K are like 10 countries in one. There's no apples to apples comparison being displayed here.

The world wasn't ready for a social media freakout over a virus that kills primarily those with 1 foot in the grave as it is.

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-trump-fired-pandemic-team/partly-false-claim-trump-fired-pandemic-response-team-in-2018-idUSKBN21C32M It was a hot little ditty making its way around certain partisan outlets.... partisanship shouldn't have a factor in this, but it certainly did.

Here's a life lesson that applies to making it past life expectancy. Don't smoke and don't get fat.

The virus has already taken out the most vulnerable, that's how diseases work. Lets see how things go after reopening... that's truly the only way we can see how this is going to play out. LOL "pandemic response team", That's a partisan excuse.

Unless they started a program of reducing obesity and successfully achieved that goal -- I doubt it would matter. The link between type 2 diabetes and COVID deaths is undeniable.
-
Right... because that was ready to move on COVID-19. Sure..
-
There's a definite divide between private industry and public when it comes to economic pain. I'm pretty sure public workers have very little risk of losing their jobs when we reopen -- they're budget is made whole by tax payers. The restaurant owner, the hotel owner.... they're ****ed.

This is probably true. The antibody test should show how many people were actually infected too. My guess, those random sample tests that yielded 2/3rd positive test rates will show how low the danger really was. We probably all were all exposed, viruses move through the population these days FAST. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8232857/One-people-Massachusetts-study-tested-positive-COVID-19-antibodies.html

When society collapses over the 2nd or 3rd multi-month shutdown for the next new bug, I hope it was all worth it. I hope public workers suffer just as much as the private industry too. We need to spread the pain around.

According to who? The reaper claims people in that age range all the time, especially ones in terrible health to begin with.
-
That's like pointing to good sea ice extent and ignoring volume. The Ice!!! It's back to normal!!

That just isn't true. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109867/coronavirus-death-rates-by-age-new-york-city/ There's a HUGE age component.
-
100,000 people die each day of old age. You're going to find that many/most of those have a secondary condition that finally does them in.
-
The virus is simply the tipping point for people already teetering on the end. I guess we should just shut down the planet during every flu season -- because 1 death is too many. Or is that 2 deaths? 3? What's the cutoff?
-
We had a poster try to use the old, "tell that to the X number of people who lost loved ones" card. That's a fair comparison.
-
We just saw what happens when a virus is tracked from initial reports until it spread through the entire population. People freaked out and went 100 times further in an attempt to mitigate its spread compared to most viruses.
-
I think we just watched our first social media driven human pathogen cycle through the population.
-
Did you suddenly become 80+ years old with underlying medical conditions? Most people don't even show symptoms when infected. My grandmother could have been taken out by a light breeze when she was in her final year of her life. Had COVID-19 been around, she most likely would have been a victim. She died anyhow.
-
Exactly, you could play this game with anything. It's a sham argument.
-
You could say the same thing with the flu... if any number of deaths are unacceptable, we should shut everything down from November through July annually. I mean -- tell that to the tens of thousands of people who lose loved ones to the flu.
-
This entire virus was overhyped. If the same scrutiny was placed on the flu every year, the numbers would be identical.
