Good info for the most part, but according to new data, his last paragraph is skewed ...
....not as dire now as he predicted

if you take a look at the models that are coming out of the Imperial College in England, it suggests that it could be as many as to [2 million], [2 and a half million] Americans who die during the course of this disease.

Brilliant.

“We’ve had such a failure of leadership from the federal government.

And he expects a billion people to get it.

Just another Trump hater who makes it to this board.

I was hoping he would talk about the combination of Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) and Azithromycin. Is he not aware of their potential to knock out the impact of the virus? Appears he is unaware and talking smack.

I noticed that until today the number of recoveries in the US was very low compared to the number of deaths. It’s finally surpassed the number of deaths.

And there is something weird with Worldometer. Look at the number of daily deaths for the US.

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

It was on a steady increase, peaking at 525 on the 28th. But on the latest update, the number of daily deaths is 8.

“The fictional virus that we created in the movie ‘Contagion’ is far worse than [COVID-19],” he says. “We made that movie in order to kind of refute the sentiment in the country after the swine flu of 2008-2009, where people thought, ‘Ho hum, if that’s what a pandemic is, I’m not worried.’ We wanted to kind of rejigger people’s sentiments, so they understood what a real pandemic would look like.”

All fiction is created to make a political or cultural point - except maybe porn. Often the script writers don’t even know they are doing it. But it looks like that movie was raw propaganda. I’ve never seen it.

But the bottom line is that only in movies are these things real.

We need to get back to work and prevent the Great Depression II.

This is gonna leave a mark.

IOW, the bad stuff only happens in the movies. The real world was not designed by writers. It was designed by God. And our bodies have capabilities ignored in the movies. As one guy mentioned to me about 20 years ago: Those of us alive today are the descendants of the survivors of the plague. We’re a bit tougher as a species.

If the bubonic plague like what we saw in the Medieval period happened tommorrow magically, we likely would bring it under control via killing rats and fleas really fast and have nowhere near the percent fatalities that Europe had back then.

The attack on the Trump was particularly vial because he said “ We don’t have any of those things. And really, that’s what we’ve always had in the past from the federal government. And I have to tell you, I miss it.”

With that bit of disinginuity he voided any respect I could have had for him. If he is that poor a judge of reality why would I trust anything he said?

Maybe you caught it as it was updating. 2,229 now in the USA, 883 in NY.
