“What retards thought it not highly dangerous?”

Does that really need an answer?

Have not had time to read story. Thought it was new because article was posted 45 minutes prior and I checked the latest on this thread for an hour. But as usual a freeper posted a link from this morning at end of previous thread. Perhaps it was updated.

Brazil looks like is going to be rough. Leftists there appear to be making a move for a quick impeachment of Jair Bolsonaro/President. He is a Trump supporter, but he is a little kooky. Lot of his issues are self induced. I look for riots to begin soon...

“28 young adults returning from a spring break trip to Mexico have tested positive for the coronavirus.”

That just in Austin.

I vaguely recall being mocked about Mexico.

Glad both sides are patrolling the border now.

We have some final numbers on Spain for today:

New deaths: 748
Total deaths: 8,464

The US numbers are starting to look crazy high even before NY does its evening data dump:

Not to be to anal - but I think top of graph should be more rounded. Almost like a bell curve. I don’t think that this point undermines your analysis. I do think it will continue to revise lower as actuals come in.

My son says his Snapchat is loaded with kids still going to Mexico, having bonfire parties in the desert and house parties.

More info, please?

What US state are the Mexico visitors from?

How did they get over the border into Mexico?

I never said it’s okay to go with a bunch of people to Mexico or anywhere else. Just to be able to go to local places of business as long as you don’t get too close to other people. Wash your hands when you return home. Just use common sense without being on house arrest.

Is it over when IHME says it's over? You know this is the model that Birx/Fauci are using to advise Trump, right? The one Trump referenced on Sun, 3/29 that projected 4/15 as the peak, and 120-150k as total US CV fatalities?

http://covid19.healthdata.org/projections

Are you sad that with an update of just two days actuals, their revised projection is now 84k? I predict that with another 5-7 days of actuals, the cumulative total projected will drop below 50k.

Then what will you do? Run another dual FR/twitter/FB media campaign?

“A lot of people are speculating that CV has been in the US for about the same amount of time as China. That would mean that herd immunity is already widespread, and help explain why fatalities are (currently) below projections.”

That theory has been pretty well dismissed as illogical and since we know the distribution of case severities we’re missing a few million corpses that would be required to support it.

Once again, from a doctor I’ve known basically my entire life, who has been a doctor for 45+ years, who would tell me if this was the end of the world or if it was a nothing-burger: Testing is going on in hotspots, predominantly, and returning about 10% positives in those places. The distribution of case severities is known from complete contact tracing and the data from South Korea and the Diamond Princess. 80% of cases are mild or asymptomatic and those are already in the stats (were, prior to NYC exodus). Asymptomatic cases can transmit the disease, so if there were some huge pool of asymptomatics out there, hotspots would be flaring up everywhere, rather than the cases being concentrated in a relatively small number of metro areas.

I, and I’m sure, my doctor friend, would be happy to be wrong.

We also talked about China and Iran’s numbers and concluded that if we were all good Muslim Communists we would be immune to the virus.
