In the history of get big, nobody has been more wrong about more things than you. You’re essentially the Babe Ruth of being wrong. The fact that you have this opinion makes me even more positive in my own position.

No. The entire world is closing down because there is a virus that is so new to science they don't have any idea how far the pandemic will go. A lifetime can be a last longer than 70 years. This virus has infected over a million folks and has killed tens of thousands of people in a couple of months . If the odds of getting shot in certain parts of Chicago are extremely high, you can always move. You cannot move away from COVID-19 because it is everywhere. 

Every flu season introduces a new virus to science. Novel coronaviruses are introduced all the time. What a load of drivel. Whenever anyone brings up the actual facts and statistics involved the only retort I ever read is some emotional plea like this.

X2.  I love that part about "you can always move". What a clueless, heartless, selfish old bastard. Just like how he treated his dying wife going through dialysis. He really thinks that people can just up and move. That everyone living in some ghetto shithole wants to be there.

Facts and statistics are great, but you need to use them not to look at what's happened, but what's to come.

More specifically you need to apply exponential growth to those facts and statistics to see where things could end up.

So, how may patients are hospitalized? What capacity are hospitals at? Ventilator capacity? Patient demographics?

It seems that the hospital ships aren't being flooded with regular patients because there is still capacity at hospitals. Same with the "Pop Up" facilities in California.

So the doom and apocalypse projections aren't coming to fruition.

April 30th - Rescind the federal restrictions, leave it up to the states.

 Federal guidelines as such:
Wear mask
Wash hands constantly
Keep distance from other people
Shelter and protect the most vulnerable (older, multiple ailments  etc)
Continue to work from home if possible.
Hardest hit states (New York, New Jersey) carry current heavy handed lock downs and travel restrictions.

Or just wait until we can hyper-inflate and print our way out of existing debt. Take your pick, I guess.

Well.. its a good thing Pneumonia isn't a problem this year 


WTF??

I must be reading this wrong

A Reddit user named RemoteControlledUser asked this question:

    What changes are we going to have to make to how businesses operate to maintain our economy while providing social distancing?

Bill Gates’ answer:

    The question of which businesses should keep going is tricky. Certainly food supply and the health system. We still need water, electricity and the internet. Supply chains for critical things need to be maintained. Countries are still figuring out what to keep running.

    Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.

You know, my general assumption in this sort of situation is that if something seems very obvious to me but not obvious to a bunch of people who do something like this professionally, the issue is usually that I’m lacking some important context or piece of knowledge that they have.

pneumonia deaths are probably the same as usual.... because if Covid-19 is detected, the cause of death is listed as Covid-19... as with any other deaths where Covid-19 is present...

I'm from Ecuador. Fuck no, that's not normal.

That's what a lot of getbiggers don't get. Weak healthcare systems are not prepared to deal with Covid-19.

Hospitals have been overwhelmed. There's a shortage of ventilators, hazmat suits, N95 masks, etc.

This also happened in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

I believe this chart has already been called as a fake.  I'm not sure why anyone would take the time to fake something like this though.

Gotta keep those Rona numbers bumped up, keep the panic and fear going through the TV, keep the government in control of your movements, can't do that if the people know this isn't nearly as fatal as the media is portraying it.

There you go. The chart is fake. Confirmation bias much?


Number of deaths is quite similar to previous years.

As a % of number of deaths is also similar to previous years.

UK flu stats



Flu stats started early and are now dropping, rising up to xmas and then declining, notice last years rise and fall
looks to me like the early flu diagnosis may have been covid19 before they knew what it was
