BTW, I should also say that after feeling fairly optimistic last week, I have done a 180 this week. There is no coordinated plan. More and more people are losing their jobs. There are mini outbreaks all over where people are working in close contact with one another. Conspiracy theories are being tossed around on social media undermining any sense of unity in this effort. Government disfunction seems at an all time high. We seem to be pinning all of our hopes on hitting a home run with a limited use in September. Not to go full JB here, but it seems like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
This partially answers goooooo's question about where the CDC has been.
They will get worse. Keep your food stocks up, because the thing I've been worried about for some time is starting to happen. There are cracks in the food chain.We have an absolute VOID of leadership at the top, and frankly, I don't know how we can make it to November like this.Trump and Pence not wearing masks just tells their followers that they don't take this seriously. So why should the followers? Mixed messaging from the top is costing lives, and time. Every day these jokers don't take this seriously and don't lead by example, people will die.
https://news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-is-coming-for-the-red-states-too-164317490.htmlDon't worry, It'll be a big deal in the weeks ahead when small towns have to deal with it. We will hear all about the 'left behind' America, because NOW its affecting them. Just like my idiot cousin who was at the protests in Madison a couple of weeks back, it isn't real for them until it actually affects them on a personal level. The only thing she is missing out on now is going to work, going to church, going to the store, and her kids are out of school. Those things personally affect her. Not the virus. To her, it still isn't real. Just another one of the hopeless, until it is in her house.
The last two are exactly what I have been saying for weeks:As @davidfrum told me, it’s impossible to get an A in managing a pandemic. There are no silver bullets. But it’s really not hard to get a B. Listen to experts. Create a plan. Show empathy. Stick with it. It’s the best you can be expected to do.Our expectations are simple.The truth, no matter how hard.To know that our safety matters.A plan which uses all our tools & best thinking that we stick with.Candor in discussing the tough trade offs.We’re not getting that.
We're only getting this from a number of governors but we really need someone to connect the regional partnership dots many of the govs have put in place.
There are going to be more cases as more are tested and things open back up.Somewhere along the way, the narrative change from flatten the curve to any new cases are the worst thing ever and we need to stay closed until there are no new cases. The latter is not sustainable.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocking-most-new-coronavirus-hospitalizations-are-people-staying-home.html66% of new patients were "staying home." Brutal.
Let's bookmark this prediction to see if it plays out. Yesterday, I think, Trump had the chance to publicly make this argument when asked about the dearth count and he didn't (I think he said "they are what they are"). So we'll see.Trump and some top aides question accuracy of virus death tollhttps://www.axios.com/trump-coronavirus-death-toll-d8ba60a4-316b-4d1e-8595-74970c15fb34.html"President Trump has complained to advisers about the way coronavirus deaths are being calculated, suggesting the real numbers are actually lower — and a number of his senior aides share this view, according to sources with direct knowledge.What's next: A senior administration official said he expects the president to begin publicly questioning the death toll as it closes in on his predictions for the final death count and damages him politically."
I see we have hit page #200 for this thread.I really hope to have this less than 400 pages when it is all said and done.And if this thread surpasses the recruiting thread # of pages, JayBee's #LastDays may be the correct hashtag for all of us.
Bump your posts per page up, kin. I'm only on page 100.
Hmmm ... who to believe ... highly trained professionals who have studied these things for decades and have made them their lives' work ... or a reality TV host who is desperate to win an election? It's a difficult choice, for sure.
It's concerning, but to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if the level of honesty in answering that question is probably similar to when the doctor is taking your medical history and asks you how many alcoholic beverages per week you drink.
No, flattening the curve doesn't mean it is flat to reopen, it means that it should be going down (14 days by the white house's own guidance)But feel free to keep posting things that are completely false, it helps so much!

What did i state that was false? I think you misunderstood my comment.
