Flu still ahead in deaths at this point, don’t sell it short.
African Americans more likely to die from coronavirus illness, early data shows

An astounding differential.
Just let her go to her big family reunion. I’m sure Darwin will catch up to her sooner or later.
More like 2/3 of the people on Free Republic have lost the ability of empirical thought. 99% of the folks who get covid 19 make a complete recovery similar to the seasonal flu but the whole country is shut down. Yeh that makes sense.
Diet matters.
Who’s negotiating? I’m happy to hear it; you’re the one who’s being frivolous.
I was frankly hoping that the lone holdout, West Virginia, would go unscathed, but unfortunately, it did not.
China has nukes, the precision of which were aided by the Clinton administration and the corporate scum of Loral. We’ll need to beef up our missile defenses while doing the other things.
I've suspected you were an attention seeking mental case, for some time now. There are a few more like you, sniping at those trying to understand this virus and how best to deal with it, with the same symptoms. Please take them back to your flubro asylum thread, with you.
This lovely African American lady - a State Dem from Detroit - won’t die because of HCQ and now she’s thanking Potus. A real stunner of a twist.
How about this article from today: “Detroit rep [Dem State Rep Karen Whitsett] says hydroxychloroquine, Trump helped save her life amid COVID-19 fight”
Money quote from her: “Asked if she thinks Trump may have saved her life, Whitsett said: “Yes, I do,” and “I do thank him for that.”
Hopefully, you turn out to be right, but you still have to account for the higher level of contagion going into the future, as well as all the idiots out there who still refuse to social distance (presumably continuing to hang out in large groups). Estimates of R0 for the Chinese Crud range anywhere from 1.7 to 5 or 6, with some dependence on how densely populated an infected area is.
And the sooner we get ultimately accurate numbers (I suspect that a CDC modeling of the outbreak afterward will have the CFR at around 0.2 to 0.3% rather than the nearly 3 percent officially tallied, when all the uncounted cases are estimated). And the sooner this thing goes away, the sooner we can open our economy back up. Go away, Chines Crud, go away!
I do NOT want to see what the government does in case the anti-vaxxers precipitate a truly major measles outbreak. Measles has an R0 between 12 and 18!
OK we are all going to die well at least 200,000 of us. So everybody better git to dyin because its a long way from 7300 to 200,000.
Our friend’s SIL here in GA just got diagnosed with covid 19. She feels somewhat sick. She asked the medical people what should she do. They shrugged and sent her home with no drugs or prescriptions. You tell me how serious it is.
Get back to us on Day 10 with no drugs. Tell us what that person has been through.
Have you ever had the seasonal flu? I have and its a beotch and many thousands die every year but not once has the country been shut down.
Check out the OODA Loop. These types have not moved beyond the observation stage. Deficient brains tend to do that.
Get back to us in 10 days and tell us all about it
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has said Boris Johnson is very very unwell according to his source at the hospital
UK may lose their Prime Minister.
Connecticut is roaring. Might catch TEX in cases ... Next few days
