Yeah because none of this will cause his life to be harder. Cleaning up Bevins mess was already a huge task. It just got harder.
POLITICAL THREAD

- Start date
I’ve been seeing this stuff first hand. This week has felt like a month. It’s wild here. We were the first area to start the SIP on Monday.
"Put your dreams on the backburner" for this?
You realize the point you're trying make is completely opposite of the one you'll actually make?
I honestly have no idea what you're arguing here

Yep, shutting down an optimized service economy with no savings for 2 months = depression. I hope I just lack imagination , but I can't see it going any other way.
Wow. I'm sorry hearing this information. Texas might begin SIP next week, but that's speculation.
Economic devastation will go off the charts.
Monday we worked.
Monday afternoon shut us down.
Tuesday night said we could work again.
Wednesday we worked.

Thursday said we could finish the week.
Friday shut us down.
Feel like a yo yo.

Saw they pulled the plug on Austin with the restaurant and bar shut down too
WTF you talking about? I'm talking USA deaths & not comparing to anywhere else.
Bevin was a dummy with his stupid mouth who quite frankly deserved to lose, but give some examples of the mess he left for Andy
please.
lol that one got me. Obviously a stupid liberal wrote that
Yeah, I tried visiting Ross' Old Austin Cafe yesterday afternoon. Closed. Other restaurants are open, but drive through or take out only. No more than 10 in a group all over the city. I visited Culver's for take-out.
I visited the grocery store again today. Before allowing us in, staff lined us up and briefed us on social distancing, requested we use hand sanitizer from a dispenser at the entrance and then gave us a disinfected shopping cart once we entered the store. Some items out of stock. Not too bad. We stocked up and should have enough food for about a month or so.
This has all really gone to hell in a hand basket very quickly.
In your opinion how many cases will the US end up with and how many dead? Just a guess will be fine. Are we more Italy and Spain or South Korea and Germany?
After this winds down, can take random blood samples and measure those with antibodies for the virus, then you'll know the percent that ever had it.
GD people, you can't know the death rate when you don't know the number that had/have it. Current positive testing only shows results for those tested, not for all of us. How hard is that to understand?
No. All we have to go by are deaths. If you don't test everyone or at least a random samples, confirmed cases are meaningless to the problem. Tell us how many unconfirmed cases there are & you have something.
Speaking deaths, more than any of those countries b/c we're so much larger. On a per capita basis, less than all except possibly Germany. Now Italy could keep going crazy & have more deaths than us. As for number of cases, who knows what future medical treatments will do.
Certainly practical to test 1000-10,000 RANDOM people & get a % estimate. Could do that in a month easy.
Welp wuhan is in the paddock. We are done for.
Absolute shit times.
Be well.

We are nowhere near Italy. If our death rate holds steady, we will have around 685 deaths when we reach the same number of confirmed cases as Italy. About 7 times fewer than Italy. We are much closer to the South Korea and Italy model.

I think you misinterpreted me. By “all we have to go by” I mean it’s the only public data we have at our disposal to formulate our own opinions from.
It’s not hard to understand and it’s obvious. It’s why I’ve almost always clarified any rates I post as being against “confirmed” cases. I’m of the mindset it’s actually more in line with the flu and that will eventually reveal itself as more and more people are tested and once those tests become more readily accessible. But until then, the only thing we have to formulate our talking points and opinions is the data we’re being allowed to see.
I don't think I did misinterpret because the public data says nothing about how many cases are out there. Only a full count (impractical) or at least representative data (random sample - which is practical but low priority today) is something to go by. Why use totally biased data to draw an opinion? It's not politics. I put no worth on deaths per confirmed cases.
I formulate my opinion only on deaths as confirmed cases are biased data & thus useless in my view. Might as well be talking politics.
Vh, I'm confised. Are you arguing that the death rate will be much lower if we have more testing done ?
Cause I'm pretty sure every death attributed to it, has been a positive test for it. So if we test 100k, randomly, and 50k, let's say, have had it, or do, then doesn't that show that it is nowhere near as deadly?
What if we test 100k, randomly, and not one person has it? Does that make it more deadly, somehow?
Again, my contention is that everyone who has died that they are counting tested positive.
Now, one could make.an argument that people are dropping dead of it, (rip kenny rogers) and it not being properly attributed to China virus, but that I highly doubt.

I don't think the mortality rate goes up, is what I'm getting at, as is.
Maybe the reason for the government response, (which seems over the top) is that this particular virus is easily mutable, and the more carriers, vectors you have, the greater chance it becomes more deadly, like the 2nd wave of the Spanish flu.
No idea, not a conspiracy theory, just wondering if the cdc may know.more than they are letting on.

Nope. Gen z and millennials.
564k unemployment claims in CA this past week.
So yeah, there’s that.
Those number will be astronomical. Even more so since the standard shifted to get more people on. Dems and msm going to hammer that number hard without a single reference to why
Apparently the website keeps crashing and people are having trouble applying. The number will be well over 1m in the next few days. Over 100k per day now.
Project that out across the US, we are looking at 10m+ claims in the next 2 weeks.
