no, this one:

runaway infections, high median age, healthcare facilities slammed, etc

it all comes down to infection rate and availability of critical care

see:

the hammer and the dance

in a more elemental way it’s the root issue of economics, supply vs. demand

of respirators, really

and of oxygen in the body

they didn’t get a chance to reduce demand where it wouldn’t overwhelm supply at the onset, but we can

Nobody can understand your arguments, you pompous twat. You're an AI that's been fed nothing but political science papers. Bad ones.

Eesh, grim scene ahead for us. Given how long it took for the bars etc to be shut down I can't see the tide turning anytime soon either.

I don't mean to sound defeatist (is that the right word?), but I'm afraid many countries could end up with numbers similar to italy (I obviously hope it won't be the case, but what i read about other countries "reactions" and statistics like the data h8kurdt posted in the previous post aren't exaclty encouraging).
for the US, CDC data says this, updated to March 20 (Am I the only one who finds the fact that tey won't update data on weekends simply laughable?)

 

I'll check back on monday and see what their report says
( see here https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ses-in-us.html ), but from other sources those figures have already almost doubled in less than a couple days.
There's the risk of a steep rising curve in every country from the start of proper testing/reporting, basically. And in the weeks before proper testing a lot of people who died from flu-like symptoms could well have been infected with covid with nobody specifically checking for it before/after death.
Again, little disclaimer, I'm not a virologist nor a physician, I'm just trying to keep up with some infos I gather.
Don't take my posts in this thread as pessimistic/negative/sad , that's not my intention at all, I'm just sharing some data I find interesting.

And don't ask me to define interesting...

NEW YORK GOVERNER: WE’RE LOOKING AT 4-6-9 MONTHS. “NO ONE CAN TELL YOU” PRECISELY HOW LONG CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC WILL LAST MONTH. “START TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. IT’S GOING TO BE HARD. NO DOUBT.”

Military tanks have been transported on trains through San Diego since, like, forever.

come on...
Now, if those tanks stopped in San Diego and "invaded" the streets of the city, well, that would be quite different.

huh? are you talking back to the kooks? i’ve put the fuckers on ignore, so i don’t know what’s going on lmao. i don’t need the stress right now.

i suggest everyone else does the same at this point because to dignify them with an answer is to give that madness wings.

and also, it distracts from useful conversations about reality.

if you can handle it—thanks for your public service. some poor innocent might believe the nonsense and become stupid through contagion.

but i think it’s probably best to just tag them red and cancel them
