Corona Virus - How bad is it going to be?

[soupslam1]

Idaho cases are still pretty consistent after coming out of our holes a month ago. Seeing all the traffic picking up and parking lots full is a big change from a month ago. We had a several day heat spell, maybe the little virus critters didn’t like that.

Are we at 2.2m deaths yet?????? Any day, right?

Over 100,000 dead before the end of May.

We're not even halfway through the first week of June and over 107,000 Americans have lost their lives from this disease... over a thousand f*cking deaths a day in this country for over three months running. You display the same sense of compassion as the mushroom-shaped cheetodick you slobber all over 24/7.

You combine the memory retention of a goldfish with the critical thought capacity of a fetid pussy fart.

Your last sentence  ' I heard in the voice of the dude who did the original Grinch who stole Christmas',   I crack myself up. Thanks for the unintentional laugh.

I missed the part where we've had hundreds of thousands of deaths.

68,000 people died in Italy from the flu in 2016-2017. That's 500 per day during flu season. Someone let me know when we get there with coronavirus. Apparently dying from corona virus is worse than dying from the flu.

Saying what I want to say to that guy will get me banned. Good on you for going right to the edge without going over.

I doubt you’ll get banned, no matter what you say.

That being said, fire mugtang!

100,000 dead and people think it’s still a conspiracy.. I’m not sure how many had to die for it to be worthy of social distancing.

 

Idaho seems back to normal. My kids had flag football games tonight.

It now appears the study claiming chloroquine and hydrocloroquine were killing more people than the virus was bogus.

It still blows my mind how a potential treatment for a disease has gotten so politicized....  so stupid.

You and I can agree 1000 percent on this statement.

You have to give @Akkula some cred for his snake oil thread however. That was some good Teams and Shit.

I wonder how many people died because Trump hate was more important than saving lives?

We've seen a huge uptick the last three weeks. In my testing clinic we've been pretty steady throughout this at around 4-5 percent positive of people we tested. So, you'd test 25 people and see 1 positive.

It's up to 15% positive the last three weeks as we've opened things up. The hospitals will start filling up if this continues.

You mean the numbers President Trump has been telling us to show what a good job he has done? You are saying the President was wrong or maybe that our smart President believed the wrong information? On April 20, 2020:

Quote

But we did the right thing, because if we didn’t do it, you would have had a million people, a million and a half people, maybe 2 million people dead.  Now, we’re going toward 50, I’m hearing, or 60,000 people.  One is too many.  I always say it: One is too many.  But we’re going toward 50- or 60,000 people.  That’s at the lower — as you know, the low number was supposed to be 100,000 people.  We — we could end up at 50 to 60.  Okay?  It’s horrible.  If we didn’t do what we did, we would have had, I think, a million people, maybe 2 million people, maybe more than that.

But just a couple of weeks later on May 3:

Quote

However, Trump predicted that as many as 100,000 Americans could die from the coronavirus, in a significant increase from his estimate of 60,000 last month. “We’re going to lose anywhere from 75, 80 to 100,000 people,” Trump said, calling it a "horrible" situation. Without his administration's actions, Trump asserted, "the minimum we would have lost was a million two, a million four, a million five, that’s the minimum."

Now we are past the 100,000 number. I wonder what Trump's next upward revision of deaths will be.

He needs that multi-million potential number so he can say he has done a good job as the actual number of deaths keeps climbing.

I'll be curious about your numbers in a week or so to see if the close proximity protesting has an effect on the Covid numbers. Hopefully those protesters are smart enough to stay away from their grandparents.

Hey @Bob have we completely destroyed our economy yet? Is it never coming back? Is everyone's life "ruined"?

Mark Zandi Views Recession Over:

Noted economist Mark Zandi has stated that he views the recession is now over, barring a second wave or any serious policy errors.  Zandi is the chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, and is very highly respected by capital markets investors. The Dow Jones has rallied in price for over a week, and today’s unemployment numbers came in just a little higher than the markets had priced in prior to today’s announcement, which is why most stocks are taking a breather. Casino stocks and tech stocks have been rising, with several casinos nationwide beginning to re-open.
