Turns out that we all may have already been exposed and have immunity... remember that flu that you had in November, December?
“President Trump and his pandemic response team did a fantastic job over the past few weeks “
Yahoooooo?
Well slap my arse and call me Sally!
Yahoo news gets something close to right.
100x safer?
I’m actually less safe at the moment as the peak sweeps over and around me and then I go to where the peak has yet to happen.
Now it could be that the Trump Pills provide 100x the likelihood of survival if it gets to the point of trying to take a nap in the hospital, but the exact numbers seem to be in the future, if ever.
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

Just wait until the jobless start to die of starvation and hopelessness.
Confirmed cases around the world, 2 million.
World population, 7.5+ billion.
Just sayin’.
I’m willing to go with this narrative if we declare victory NOW and reopen the country.
First of all, let's simply present today's installment of the proper relative comparison of deaths across the world. Below are the April 11th totals for the US and select other countries. While the US' time series ends on Day 18 (which is April 11 - and is basis of the order, i.e., I sorted the data by Day 17 values), I am publishing other countries future totals/'golfer's scores' who are on hole 8 while we're at hole 4.
The US' ranking doesn't look like it'll move from here on out, except with Switzerland with which we're running neck-and-neck. The next nearest country is Luxembourg and the US is good 3800 or so adjusted fatalities ahead of them.
With regard to the assertion made in the article that the US likely won't catch up to the UK, Netherlands, or Sweden...I dunno. If the US has an 18%+ daily rate of increase in fatalities over the next two days, it'll 'catch up' to the Netherlands. The equivalent equalizing growth rates for Sweden and the UK are 28% and 242%, respectively. So, I doubt we'll catch up to the UK and, to a lesser extent, Sweden but I wouldn't yet count out catching up to the Netherlands (though our rate of growth hasn't sped up recently), expecially if they start including COVID-positive car accident fatalities etc in the GitHub data. / sarc (sort of)
