This thing moves too fast. Without mitigation, 1/3 would be exceptionally lucky.

There never would have been a 100% unmitigated response. People would have self isolated and the cities would be desolate. But they would have infected half the country in their panicked flight. No place would be safe. No amount of prepping would be good enough for the majority of people.

Likewise, 90% is improbable. But the infectiousness and stealth capabilities of this virus are a formidable combination.

Best positive nuts and bolts press conference today, that the networks had to cut it off.

China announced human-human transmission in late Jan, and our CDC nearly broke out laughing.

I love hearing these, from all across the country.

Finally!

More from Politico article:

The drug also has been touted as a therapy for coronavirus by an unusual assortment of investors, TV correspondents and even some advisers to the White House — including some advocates who overstated their claims and credentials — and been championed by guests on Fox News.

...Federal officials also have privately complained that Trump's focus on anti-malaria drugs has distracted from efforts to investigate more promising therapies.

Politico and the rest of the mainstream media are having a hard time admitting that President Trump was correct about this drug being a game changer the first time he mentioned it - what, 2 weeks ago?

“If that wasn’t sad, it would be hilarious. Did they think they would be immune?”

They DO think they are immune. Weapons-grade normalcy bias. And they are pissed at anybody that brings facts contrary to their mindset. It’s tragic.

In his latest video Chris Martenson points out bad guidance still coming out from the WHO and CDC _today_.

You can’t fix stupid.

Both organizations need to go away....

They are literally as bad as those idiots going to mosque in Pakistan.

God created viruses. They are here to do a job. Praying to anyone’s God is not going to change that. They are fools.

Maybe we can get the once used masks saved and sent to the US. Trump has a company who claims they can disinfect the masks 20 times before significant degradation.

I think you will find the the earliest cases in California were citizens, tourists released from vacation cruise ships, the release that violated Trump’s order to not let them Dock in the US until they had completed more time in quarantine on the ship.

Trump blew his stack over that and that was a long, long time ago.

Anyone surprised at Liberty University cases? Bueller, Bueller?

If there are 3 hospitalized, there are 30 more.

Not every state has the money or expertise to do that.

I’m glad I live in a state that does. In fact CA is looking prescient with their early social distancing. Their per capita numbers are far better than anyone expected.

Quite a feat, so far, considering it’s 40 million people and has served as the gateway to China for decades.

Do we know the back-story?

Are the students back at school at Liberty yet?
