Invitation to do the math for your state: COVID-19 cases as a percent of the population.

Below is a list of states per currently reported COVID-19 infections (by CNN, of 3-12-20) in comparison with population size (note that variations in reported cases are partly be due to how comprehensive testing can and has been done). Using an online calculator as here, (see second row under “Percentage Calculator in Common Phrases”, and remove commas in population figure), then 95 “is what percent of” 6949503 = 0.001367. Is this correct? And what correlations do you see that may be of interest?

In any case, I pray this works to bring souls to realize the need for repentance and mercy from God through faith in the risen Lord Jesus.

Only one thing, a complete and immediate lock down of the entire country... These are unprecedented times. Get prepared, keep your hands clean, and don't touch your face! ;)

I do not subscribe to such paranoia.

That horse has left the barn.

Until the politicians quit preening for the next election, paranoia is the rule of the day.

[amorphous]

So president Trump’s order to limit Chinese traveling to America, and restricting travel to America from highly infected areas is paranoia? Cruise lines shuttering operations for the next month, are two, is paranoia? Airlines stopping flights to hotpots, especially to China, is paranoia? Restricting access to senior care facilities is paranoia? Cancelling events with large attendance like NBA games, concerts, etc, is paranoia? Countries who have quarantined and have much less CFR numbers now, were they paranoid? A quarantine it tough medicine, but one we may have to take.

No. The percent of Chinese carriers is too high.

No since elderly predominate and quarantined ships with infected souls increases infections.

No.

Cancelling events with large attendance like NBA games, concerts, etc, is paranoia?

Outdoor ones in the US, for that reason, yes.

Countries who have quarantined and have much less CFR numbers now, were they paranoid?

Complete and immediate lock down of the entire country and fear of touching your face is what I referred to as paranoia.

Ok, I get it now. You want to play word games by taking what I say literally while deflecting attention away from your senselessly ramblings of population vs Corona cases based on very little testing of said population.

G'day...

[mware]

NJ is now 50.

There are not word games, unless you want to spin your "complete and immediate lock down of the entire country" as not being literal.

Actually, population stats vs Corona case stats even though based on what little testing of said population we have is the only verifiable info we have, and it makes sense to start there in determining the percentage of cases. We can then invoke the widely varying estimates, and as compared with the worse Flu mortality, but only that order makes sense.

You left out the part about touching your face.

Since you seem to need me to spell it out for you, "N-o I w-a-s-n-'-t b-e-i-n-g l-i-t-e-r-a-l."

It's been proven that quarantines work. President Trump and local governments have already implemented many. I like what Israel is doing by quarantining all incoming arrivals from outside the country for a period of time. That's locking down the country, and probably too late now. We're well into the next phase of this - community spread, and dealing with that.

We can then invoke the widely varying estimates, and as compared with the worse Flu mortality, but only that order makes sense.

Your numbers were and still are completely nonsensical...having no basis in reality, especially based on little testing so far.

Anyway, I've literally had enough of this silliness.

I did not press that in my last reply as it seems you mean to type :) but hit ;). However, I still think the "complete and immediate lock down of the entire country" is extreme as it sounds too much like martial law.

It's been proven that quarantines work.

Those by themselves were not the issue, but the extent.

That would not be done here, and that is still not a complete and immediate lock down of the entire country.

Your numbers were and still are completely nonsensical...having no basis in reality, especially based on little testing so far.

Actually since they deal with verifiable sources and counts, versus widely varying estimates, they are what is most based on reality,

Anyway, I've literally had enough of this silliness.

Which cessation is best until we see how it turns out.
