Just to prove the Dem's are not the only retarded morons in Washington, I just listened to Bill Cassidy (R- LA) share his idea with Laura Ingram to create a national registry to log people into to release 'some' people back to work. Hey Bill, the government does 'nothing' well, nothing. And I neither need, nor will I allow your F-ing meddling in my life at this level. God damn we have some immeasurably stupid people infesting Washington DC. Maybe the answer is to tell Washington to go [blank] themselves repeatedly, and all of us that still have a job/company to go back to work.

Chinook flew right over my neighborhood today, low and slow. Never seen one flying over my neighborhood before. (Have seen many of these over the years, just not here).

It's you.

Get that funny bone serviced once the crisis is over.

People find him funny. He made a video for them.

It's no more nefarious than that.

Where do you think? Fauci. The President didn’t pull the numbers from his ass. Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten. It was just last week for Pete’s sake! Lmao

All the 'experts' will start to have selective amnesia in the weeks to come, but the internet remembers...

"Oh, well wait, that's when we thought, the thing, and the Chinese, and the best guess - because the numbers, 40,000 vents, 1.8M dead...."

Mmmkay, we understand that your number and models were full of shit, and we said that 2-3 weeks ago.

Amen!!! Andromeda Strain

Singer John Prine has died, reportedly as a result of the virus.

He was 73 and wasn't exactly healthy, but this appears to have been too much.

RIP, sir.
article

The IHME model has been off for number of beds needed.

But I started looking at it at least back to 30 Mar.

Their estimate for total U.S. deaths was about 80,000. Was then, and is now


Their estimate on 30 Mar for NY deaths was 15,546. Today their NY death est is 15,618


They did make some very significant changes in when they thought various states would see peak numbers.

The WH team said they didn't trust IHME for deaths because the model included some Chinese data. That was when the WH team was saying 100k to 200k for the country.

Let's see how they do over the next few weeks.

BTW, earlier I mentioned that estimating beds and ventilators needed is very tricky. You need good average numbers for how long patients will be in the hospital and how long on the ventilators.

I’m very bummed tonight at this news, he was one of my favorites.

Having cancer and only one lung definitely did not help either.

So if your state peaks later, we can predict your needs better? Well, maybe that'll help those states that peak later somewhat.

The pbs frontline program is worth the watch.

Just my opinion, but I would expect that for a new model that had to make a lot of assumptions - once real data starts coming in they will make adjustments and better estimates.

From one of the leading assholes that brought us obamacare, Ezekiel Emanuel:

Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more . We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications.

I know that’s dreadful news to hear. How are people supposed to find work if this goes on in some form for a year and a half? Is all that economic pain worth trying to stop COVID-19? The truth is we have no choice. If we prematurely end that physical distancing and the other measures keeping it at bay, deaths could skyrocket into the hundreds of thousands if not a million.

We cannot return to normal until there’s a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure.

Sdy, honestly who cares what he thinks. This whole thread of full of peoples opinions on and off the topic of the Wuhan.

He has an opinion, so fucking what. I see absolutely no value of posting this. Why do it? Is there a purpose or is it just more jiborish bullshit from a cheesedick?

Over a week ago Dr. Fauci stood in front of the country and described how they were going to test these various drugs on 1,000 plus patients in NYC and we'd have results soon.

Other Dr's have claimed that within 3-4 hrs of taking the 3 drugs patients show remarkable improvement and after 24 hrs are more or less normal.

The normal process for the illness is 6-8 days in most people. Seems like between 3-4 hrs to 24 hrs and 6-8 days we would know by now how effective it is.

Why haven't we heard anything?? Why are we only hearing from Dr's and patients using outside of this big study?

He's not only an incredible healthcare architect, he's also a leading economist.

Thanks for posting that. Of course Covid-19 will be here for the next 18 months or so. And guess what we'll find a way to thrive and prosper. This is a terrific reminder of how these assholes think and will do or say anything to compel control over our lives. That's all they want.

It's the fast boat to socialism for them. Imagine what we'd look like if they had their way.

What we are doing is working.

Yeah, I’m not taking any advice from this clown. The guy who was all for death panels and not letting anyone over age 75 have healthcare to prolong their lives?

This guy is probably delighted at this pandemic and how it’s killing mostly older people.
