Visualization: How spring breakers (probably) spread coronavirus throughout America
Hot Air ^ | March 27, 2020 | Allahpundit

The eastern half of America, anyway. Which is where the hot spots are, coincidentally.

This is a few days old but worth watching as a demonstration of why reopening parts of the country while outbreaks are raging in other parts is an invitation to disaster. Unless states are going to start closing their borders to each other, infected people will keep bringing the virus in from outside.

So you guys can act like foaming idiots because a NY governor does something you don’t like (and I agree that he’s an idiot) but an R governor does something SO STUPID and he should get a pass?

Screw that.

Not sure why you are barking at me. I am just stating fact as to what will happen with the media. Both NYC and Florida deserve a lot of criticism, but only one will be in the news after we start opening up the country again.

Have you seen the STD rates for FL? That’s been true for a while...

Oregon Coast was hit with tourists last weekend and leading up to it. Most of those communities now have their first cases of Wuhan flu.

If we can get a vaccine soon, fine. If chloroquine, or so something else works and we are soon able to distribute it widely, fine. However I suspect we will have to rely on some form of “herd immunity.”

If young spring breakers get the virus and STAY HOME, there are some advantages. It is my understanding that they will quickly recover. From that point on, they are immune. They will no longer be a walking petrie dish of virus - just the opposite; they will be a fire break. We can’t isolate forever. This thing will have to roll through to a point where it is no longer a threat. IMHO.

I am guessing it’s not a pleasant number. The biggest shocker on STDs that I saw was Alaska until someone explained that loads of people come and go there.

Just looked it up - according to nces.ed.gov, roughly 18% of college majors this year are in STEM subjects.

Let’s allow half of the remaining 82% of the majors to be in humanities courses that are actually intellectually useful and productive.

So, roughly 59% of the students are actually learning useful things in college and will go on to benefit civilization in science and the arts.

We all know what the rest are doing - throwing their parents’ money or government loan money into the sewer - whilst pursuing courses in underwater lesbian dancing, fart art, or journalism. And a good number of these will flunk or drop out and not even be able to gain (useless) degrees - but they’re not worried, Democrats will make sure that you pay for their loans.

Why do people keep paying attention to this guy who never been right about anything?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

I curious, do you know that the total nation wide serious/critical cases is 2,436?

That the daily rate of increase of serious/critical cases in the USA is pretty steady at 250?

I will do the math for you 250 x 100 days = 2,500. And that is total number of case so while that number is added to daily it will also be reduced by the number of resolved cases as people move out of the serious/critical category.

Do you know if you are under 60 with no underlying health issues your recovery rate is 99.96%?

The risk group for this is about 2% of the population. I am in that 2% high risk group and I see what an absurdity is being done here
