Using that term is offensive. Surely you can come up with a term that isn't offensive to people with special needs.

I'm not a Biden fan, although of that lot he's the most moderate.

It almost doesn't matter who The Donald is running against, if his governmental response doesn't pan out like he says it will, they could run a potato and potentially win.

We have seen "anyone but" elections before. 2016 comes to mind. Trump's goal is to keep 2020 from becoming "anyone but The Donald" type of election.

He seems hell bent on putting it all on black on April 12.

you post all the doom and gloom but why not post positive messages as well? There are plenty of successes happening but you focus on the far left of the bell curve.

I am guessing this is in New York City? I'm not sure what people thought would happen when you jam 9 million people inside 300 square miles. Eventually nature meets its carrying capacity and corrects itself.

If you look back on 90% of the media coverage for the last 3+ years and compare it with those same people's coverage of the China virus, there are a lot of similarities. All doom and gloom.

Yeah... I mean I try to stay out of the politics of it and would rather just get the facts, but it's like why do you have to focus on the worst of the worst and then try to politicize it. It's like people run to post the exceptions to the rule vs. what is 99.99% of the time is happening.

Now the guy at Imperial College, who originally said that 2 million Americans would die, is saying there will be relatively few deaths and it will peak in 2-3 weeks.

In addition to the virus, we have ones trying to bomb hospitals, slashing ambulance tires, firebombing food trucks, stealing nurse/doctors' ID badges/lanyards. So messed up.

They've spent 4+ years screaming how the current administration is going to destroy us all and now they think it's coming true, when it's not, and they can't wait to throw their supposed moral superiority in your face.

Think this will get the same attention as the original? Not a chance.

The politicians have got their money now from all the fear mongering, so the positive articles are going to start trickling out now. Only politicians can turn a cold into a $2 trillion plus problem.

If the govt was in charge of the sahara desert they'd run out of sand in 6 months.

This can't be true. I was assured by the elite, inclusive and tolerant people on this board that the world was ending.

Oh well, we can relax for 12 years now, until climate change gets us.

Just in case the world was ending, I took some precautions. My gal pal came over and we shared a bottle of wine (each) and had some amazing Colorado brownies and I let her use me for my body. End of the world sex is so hot.

Does she have a sister?

I don’t see how you view this as a political issue. But I, for one, would love to see some credible success stories about now.

More fear mongering. Provide some data with some statistical significance at least. For example, what is Louisiana's average daily death rate for for all causes for this time of year? How has the past few weeks compared to that rate? Is there any statistical significance to that? Etc. The numbers in this article provide no context.

He is not a fear monger type, at all. IMO.

A cold? That’s a pretty insulting thing to say to all the people going through this and the people working in the hospitals.

Maybe he will be wrong twice?

I think that’s precisely what’s going to happen with the actual result falling somewhere in between. Quite the wide range of course

As for us Stateside. All eyes are on NYC. ICU bed capacity in NYC is supposed to be exceeded by Saturday. Case count won’t likely peak for another two to three weeks which probably means peak ICU cases will occur sometime around late April.

So how many more beds, ventilators, protective equipment can they get to NYC in that time frame?

I think that once we see how the situation shakes out there we will have a better idea of just what we are up against. NYC does of course have certain elements that make it more susceptible to this type of explosive spread so that needs to be factored in while trying to extrapolate what other cities and counties are going to find themselves dealing with in the future.
