What did you read that makes you think it is twice as contagious?
Did you also read that it was going to kill millions of Americans?
See the article in post 49.
49,000 dead now with the extraordinary measures we have taken. I believe it very possibly could have been a million or more if we tried to ride it out like Sweden. You are talking the NBA, MLB, NHL, schools, malls all in operation with people in close quarters. I understand steps would have been taken eventually but with the overwhelming of hospitals and the logistical nightmare that would have followed, it would have been a nightmare. Which it is pretty much anyway now for other reasons. And by that time Trump would not have had a chance in the next election. Personally I think he is all over the place with his reaction (he certainly thinks a million or more would have died. Or so he says) so I’m not so sure he has a chance in the fall now anyway. I hope I am wrong.
