Deaths are the most accurate data we have right now.

Panic will harm millions of people and destroy our economy with negligible health benefits.
Our most serious problem isn’t a pandemic; its blind human stupidity generated by it.
Geez.
The political advantages of crashing the economy are apparent to Democrats.
They don’t care who gets hurt or who dies as long they reap the political benefit.
We’re not at serious risk - most of us - from COVID-19.
We’re at risk from liberalism. It can ruin all of us in a short time.
Be warned.
This is why you see Democrat governors, mayors, etc implementing the most harshest restrictions.
Noooooo!!! Say it isn't Sooooooooooo!!!
FNM and socialist driven hoaxdemic and of course the sheople fell in line and showed their true worth.
People in densely-populated Singapore and Hong Kong (we’re talking NYC-dense here), where white collar workers are squashed into tiny cubicles, are managing to go back to work without significant new infections. The secret is face masks. Given the toll imposed by infections, whether in terms of suffering or potential death, I’d say it makes sense to charge anyone not wearing a mask with aggravated assault. Minimum 6 months in prison and a felony record. After a few highly-publicized convictions, combined with the media’s klieg lights on the scofflaws, everyone will wear a mask.
Deaths are the most accurate data we have right now.

all along, the data has been to thin to support the action
If I gave the raw numbers that are used to produce these graphs to everyone,
how many do you think could draw the graphs themselves?
And if I asked these people to define basic terms about probabilities and frequencies and distributions,
how many would get any of the definitions correct?
But people believe and act on - and want everyone else to act on - these “received messages.”
(btw, the Russian word for “received messages” is Izvestia.)
And they believe them because they are The Truth.
(btw, the Russian word for the Truth is Pravda.)
We are up against the limits of human intelligence and gullibility.
Even Americans are very easily manipulated.
We are living in the midst of a spooked herd of sheep.

From the Federalist, a different view.
Democrat activists are using this as a way to get more government power, and more funding for the Left. They hunger for that $2 trillion pork package.
If Trump signs it, it will ensure the dominance of the Left.
We can see some great variation and good data from other locations. How about targeting isolation for the most vulnerable, finish 14-40 day quarantine (or whatever the current best guess risk range is), and get everyone else back to work?
Trump addressed this in his town hall yesterday.
When the “experts” first came to him on this they were pitching mortality rates of 4 to 5 percent. Faced with those staggering numbers of course he went to DEFCON 1.
The actual number will probably settle somewhere close to South Korea’s 0.7%.
This site previously had Georgia at the “too late to act” position as of March 24th. Once the 24th got here they changed it to April 9th
Dangerous charlatan.
That guy presenting the model is chinese?
Instant credibility right?
Houston and Dallas are on Stay at Home orders, until April 3rd.
Gov Abbott won’t issue state wide, since MOST counties have no cases.....at this time.
Been posting questioning shutdown after state governors started jumping in with this
