It’s just the flu, bro.
Normally experts in the field of epidemiology remind me of experts in global warming. But there is a professor who is both an MD and PhD in economics from Stanford who is a true Flubro. See link below:

There is a video at the link too.

Ping list. Freepmail me to be on ping list. FR moderators want me to be more inclusive to non Flubros. So I will try to remember to include Fearpers on the list if you freepmail me too.
Get ready for the next hoax to rear its ugly head in the near future
As of today, worldometers.com has removed it’s world death rate graphs. You can compare some day to day stats with individual countries, but not the world.The rate graph has also been completely removed.
I really don’t get this. BI tables usually become more useful and informative, not less.
It also ticks me off that the last day the demographic stats were kept was Feb 29th, but they didn’t remove them. They just let them sit there being useless and old.
“the bodies are just not stacking up high enough “
That’s OK. The 85 refrigerated trucks sent to NYC to haul off the thousands of bodies can be turned in to motor homes.
The virus is done. Go to worldometer.com and check out the graphs for the hard hit countries. All of them. Any of them. The death numbers are peaking. It’s over.
And now, the economic fallout will come full force.
Yawn. Day 18 of you looking foolish. That’s gonna leave a mark.
That’s because they’re burying thousands of corpses in Central Park.
UW’s COVID tracking model is being closely followed by “people in the know.” However, there are some odd trends.
Why is Kentucky projected to have over 1700 deaths, while Louisiana is projected to have 746 total deaths. New Orleans was a hot spot, no? Tennessee was also projected to be a hot spot, but finishes lower than KY.
I thought our Governor was “flattening the curve.”
Good morning
Objectively there is gathering momentum that it is slowing down. Most major countries except France is showing slowing. Italy cases are dropping rapidly.
New York reporter a glut of discharges and not a lot of ICU admissions this weekend
The curve looks flat
President trump said after a week or a little more there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. He also said that maybe it will go faster than people think.
Words of encouragement for a holy Tuesday
I got the feeling this would happen on Friday when some reporter asked Dr. Birx about the source data and she looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
Because having expertise in economics makes one a qualified infectious diseases expert. /sarc
Covid-19 is a cold virus. Colds are seasonal, and happen primarily in the winter. We are approaching spring, and will soon see whether Covid-19 acts in a seasonal manner like other cold viruses. The thing to watch for is if cases in the southern hemisphere begin to rise. We have also been practicing social distancing, stay-at-home orders, etc. This will also cause the number of new cases to drop.
Maybe the whole thing really was a scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuy6r6OkFKc
The UW IHME model seems to be overestimating deaths fairly substantially. I still haven’t discounted a seasonal aspect to this virus but the experts will be saying it was all due to social distancing.
11,000 dead out of 350,000,000...oh, dear.
Kind of funny, the reaction to those that question the response to this thing get treated the same way people who question the motives and and proposed solutions to “Global Warming”, or the idea that there are 32+ genders. I’ve been reading this thread series off and on. There is some funny stuff posted back and forth. I have fully expected to see those who have been labeled “fearbros” accuse the so-called “flubros” anti-science at some point.
Perhaps they have, and I missed it.
I have a hunch the fearpers will be hard to find.
I have determined that it is not just Fearpers. There are also Freppers. They bought a whole basement of delicious freeze-dried food and this thing has to go on longer for them to save face. After all, the youtube videos said that after a Chinese EMP attack, the Spanish Flu equivalent of 2020 was supposed to be the big one. They still are feeling the condemnation after Y2K flopped.
He is also an MD - but regardless, he makes the valid point that the policy path is determined by expected number of deaths. Inflate the deaths and the lockdown becomes more draconian. Realistic deaths and there is no lockdown.
Oh, I hope so
So weary of the Humongous caroons and graphs
