This is What is Going to Happen - we need suppression, not mitigation

[Keith&Co.]

I feel compelled to remind you Keith - you are talking to THIS person:

meh.
He's the one bloviating thru the canned talking points, but i'm mostly practicing for Uncle Dave or Uncle Timmy, who use the sakeblines, but will at least stsy on point to argue the line, rather than pull the See-N-Say cord forbtye next line.

Careful - I could see this kind of practice making you complacent.

It's the Trump Virus because he's instrumental in making it an even worse disaster than it needs to be.

How is he making it worse?

If he did a mandatory lockdown like China did where nobody can leave their house for weeks, you guys would be screaming, "AUTHORITARIAN!!!"

Be glad he's actually not an authoritarian. Trump is always damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Haven't you paid attention to what he's saying? He doesn't want social distancing because that hurts the economy. If he got his way we would probably see a megadeath due to his actions.

And what about what he said about those two drugs? The people that actually need them can't get them now and he probably didn't save anybody.

(On the other hand, he might have done the medical community a favor. We have a list of doctors who almost certainly prescribed inappropriately. I'd like to see the medical boards hand out some hefty fines for this. It's even more clear cut for the dental boards--a dentist would never have a legitimate reason to prescribe chloroquine. In normal times I can see one self-prescribing for travel but people aren't traveling now.)

Looks like he'll get his way, and there will be megadeath. For which he will blame the Democrats as always.
As the articles I have posted demonstrate, "slowing the spread" to a level that still allows an exponential growth in cases (with a smaller exponent) results in a slightly delayed system overload that will eventually be resolved by even more draconian measures being imposed for a MUCH longer time. Between that and the mega-deaths that will be caused by Trump's ignorance, personal greed and vanity, we shall overcome.

The "good" news is that Trump didn't initiate any actual protocols, so he can't reverse anything. And good luck trying to enforce ending shutdowns in the mostly blue states.

Dems would be handing the election to Trump if red states get back to work and the Dems are preventing their states people from working. Voters would move to Trump in a landslide.

We all know the Dems wouldn't do anything for the people. They only virtue signal about helping the poor.

Even after the hospitals tell people to take granny back home to die, the hospital isn't going to treat her?

Because that's what would happen under His Flatulence's plan.

For MAGA hat wearing idiots? Yeah, they'd rush to the polls to re-elect Trump right after burying their loved ones because CNN's hysteria killed their loved ones.

We'll see how many of them go with The Trump Eugenics Program on Easter, how many attend the convention on 8/24-27, then how many are "unavailable" to vote in November...

 

[ronburgundy]

How is France enforcing their measures? How can the police know whether a person is going to get groceries? How can they prevent people from going to Friends homes? I wonder whether its more of a difference in culture than government enforcement, where out of some misplaced sense of "liberty" Americans just aren't as willing to abide by the rules.

Also, it seems that all the US states with the major outbreaks have had closure of non-essential retail establishments for at least a week. Yet, we are gonna hit 4,000 deaths within a week and 10,000 by mid-April.

 

[AdamWho]

I am a little confused about the Republican response. The demographics are shifting and this virus is a direct attack on their base. There is no way they are going to benefit from this long-term.


I completely understand Trump's response because he is deeply uniformed about everything, self-centered and a very short term "thinker". Nothing matters unless it directly effects hm personally.

Yeah, I think he's going to get a lot of his supporters and evangelicals killed. I have mixed feelings about that.

Incubation period. It takes a week of shutdown before you start to see any effects.

 

[Elixir]

... we are gonna hit 4,000 deaths within a week and 10,000 by mid-April.

Hmm. You posted that on Thursday the 26th. A week will be April 2nd.
Half-Life will be laughing. He guarantees it:

My prediction is that by April we will be laughing going,
"Remember how everyone panicked over the coronavirus
because the media started fear mongering?"

3-25-2020

This quarantine will work. I guarantee it. April 12 we will be up and running.
The cases are going to start declining in the U.S. starting around the next few days.
By April 1, we will see a steady downstream and be on our way out.

So it's going to suddenly stop accelerating any minute now. In fact, if you look REAL CLOSE at this curve and squint real hard, you can already see the beginnings of "a steady downstream", whatever kind of an incoherent mess that is supposed to mean:

 

[Horatio Parker]

1M deaths by April 26, I'm reading.

Don't panic - Half-Life GUARANTEES "a steady downstream" any minute now!

Meanwhile, back in China"

“A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure,”

Whistleblower doctors say coronavirus reinfection even deadlier

So keep the faith, Trumpsters! Don't let them give you any of those poison meds, and remember:
REAL MEN DON'T USE VENTILATORS!

That's not fair. It's been established that Half-life is illiterate and can't read a table. It's completely unreasonable of you to assume he can interpret a graph properly as well. You should be ashamed at using facts and reality when arguing against him; you know that puts him at a distinct disadvantage. How dare you, sir!
