Some official in Ohio said 100,000 people likely have it there.

It’s a serious issue, this virus, but shouldn’t there be piles of corpses SOMEWHERE in the US if millions have it and may have had it for more than a month now?

Maybe it’s just getting started I dunno.

I guess we shall see.

There usually ARE when a Republican is President, LOL!

This is PSYOPS like I’ve never seen before.

Wake me when it’s over - next week. Yeesh!

I'm convinced of the seriousness of this virus which is why I bought sanitzer and TP many weeks ago....but I also believe its been severely overblown...

they all say look at Italy....the worse of their problem happened in an area with a high Chinese immigrants....many Chinese travel to China for their New year and then return....

what happened is many of them caught the virus, brought it back to Italy and overwhelmed the system.....

we are going to be okay and those that have shut down national sports/ and Broadway musicals etc should be held up to face their total lack of common sense and perspective.....

Well, as has been constantly repeated by many others, the crux of the issue is exponential growth. That is, the projected doubling rate given a known growth factor.

Commonly known as the rule of 70, just divide days to find the % rate, or % rate to find the number of days. For example, a doubling rate of 3 days would translate to an approx 25% daily rate. You can see how this could quickly get out of hand without strict controls over social contact and movement.

People - for whatever reason - tend to keep talking about death rates, recovery, seriousness, MSM/DNC plots, etc. That's not the issue - the issue is the total gross number of infected individuals within a certain time frame. Too fast and you swamp the system, inflicting very real economic and human costs. Slower, metered and managed, a completely different story eg Italy vs Taiwan.

Here's a good analogy: two people each have a case of wine. One drinks it all in a single week blow out, while the other savors it over 2-3 months, combining it with dinner, friends, etc. See the problem? One is a raging alcoholic, while the other is a socially responsible individual.

Trump's address last night initiated a string of cascade events all aimed at suppressing the peak of the curve and extending the time frame of total infections. That's really what this is all about. Anything else is really just a waste of mental energy, completely off the point and a waste of time.

While I assume there will still be lagging posts debating moot issues like good/bad, true/false, in reality that ship has already sailed. The next relevant topics of discussions and decisions will be control management policies, implementation tactics, logistics, etc.
