You got that right...this is all so surreal and hard to accept but to deny this threat is reprehensible.
Imperial College Report
right!
so .6% 51-60 mortality rate
.15% 41-49 mortality rate
and it drops off drastically under that.
90% of ppl over 80 beat it.
this was a worst case scenario and left out Germany apparently who's numbers have been much better.
how will we ever come back from this
Granted I'm going through the report at almost 4 in the morning, but something doesn't pass the smell test. If it were so contagious that 80% of Americans would get it if we did nothing then I feel like the entire NBA and Cynthiana Wal Mart would already have it and if it were so deadly that millions of people were going to die by summer then the death count should be in the tens of thousands already. I'm sure someone much more intelligent and qualified than me can poke holes through their methodology, but until then I'm going back to bed.
Over exaggerated or not, that report is what’s being used by our govt leaders to help make decision.
I agree that seems over the top, but what are our leaders supposed to do, ignore it bc it doesn’t pass the smell test? (Actually, I could see Trump or Bevin saying just that)

And for all of the experts here, like myself...At what point does the self-inflicted economic destruction currently taking place cause far more damage than this version of the flu virus would? How many businesses will be wiped out and shut down before people say enough is enough, regardless of where the virus percentage is? How many people will be out of work because of that? How many bankruptcies and foreclosures need to take place?
How many elderly people are suffering huge losses in their retirement accounts and will have a far lower standard of living and sense of security because of it? How much additional unnecessary government debt is going to be added that has to be paid back by future generations? How many suicides will result of all this? I have not heard a single word about the people “in charge” taking all these very real costs into consideration.

Everyone knows (Now they do) the best political path is to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Better to under promise and over deliver than to over promise and under deliver.
I'll find more analogies to post later.

A week ago that report would’ve made me **** an actual live goose. In a week I have accepted my fate so much that that report doesn’t even phase me this morning. Oh, my life as I know it is completely over? Oh, my kids will be raised in military internment camp? Oh, my mom and grandparents will be executed by Chinese marines who have invaded central Kentucky, USA? Tell me something I don’t know and pass the gotdamn snus.
Had a great conversation with my parents that really laid out a sobering reality. There’s a chance that **gasp** the Democrats will win the election in November and give away free stuff. Just an awful circumstance and the worst part of this entire disaster.
Please send thoughts and prayers their way.

An over exagerrated report being used in the decision making process is a good way to kill an economy and create mass panic. I would hope there are more logical studies out there. A month ago there some article saying that this could be 2 or 3 times worse than a bad flu season which would still strain the healthcare system but that seemed reasonable, the 2 million deaths by August is just nonsense and will now be used by media outlets to create views and make people buy more toilet paper.
Shows I never finished that are in the queue:

Answer the questions, or continue to be an ***....not that difficult either way for you, I am certain.
Can we take a step back from declarations of martial law and complete economic ruin and mass suicide?
Step by step you slow things in society and government for a bit, give the population time to brace itself and prep without panic. You buy our healthcare providers some time to prep the best they can and reduce the onslaught of cases needed to be treated at one time. Then, you take this thing week by week, eventually you have to start activating society again even under the precaution of encouraging your high risk demo to continue to stay at home.
Jobs will be lost and businesses will go out of business but from that opportunity will rise, a buyers market will develop and creative hard working people will find new ways to make money.
Have a quarantine and chill, keep your most at risk safe.

Yes. I could like totally see trump taking this thing not super serious. And that’s one thing that really scares me right now. Right now, Americans need a leader with morals, and at least 6 feet of space between each other.
In 3 months CFA and McD’s will be the only restaurants left standing. Could be good for America, I guess.
Sorry, TSK...we only need certain death, posts. No optimism allowed.
Al Swearengen is the Shakespeare of our time - "Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or f*king beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back."
Highly recommend you start there, CB. Not only for the gallows humor but it's only 3 short seasons.

I’ll tell you who is devastated right now is the Tinder/Bumble set. Goodness. What do you even do nowadays, without a local brewery or bar to meet up at?
Sending all the puppies.

I'm going to be really interested in the long-term effects of this:
(1) Will there be a concerted push - by both parties - to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.? Pretty clear that we are way too beholden to China to make our cheap **** at slave labor rates. I'm not sure the whole "service economy" deal is working for us, tbh.
(2) Will telework become even more of a thing? I think business/government/etc. will come out of this realizing that a lot of what they do can be accomplished by people in their pajamas.
(3) Will I get a free money check? Because I deserve it.

Can Mashburned take his **** back to the D-League and the PoliThread?
- Boomers have been embarrassingly terrible in regards to CV. JFC that has to be the most stubborn collection of know-it-all ********. You're old, you have a ****** immune system, no one is impressed that you are living your best life right now. Go home, sit on the couch and STFU until someone tells you it's safe for your old, ignorant *** to go back outside.
- Futures down again. Wonder if we dip below 20k today.
- Am happy to see social distancing and hand-washing increase in popularity. Why it took a pandemic for people to not crowd TF out of you in public and learn good hygiene is beyond me but hey, we made it.
- A positive from all of this, hopefully more business realize it's becoming more unnecessary to be in an office and WFH is likely getting them more production. No commute, much easier to work in a doctor's appt, work earlier and later on average and virtually no office distractions. Gets lonely sometimes overall, we should probably start moving past having to see someone in person every day at an office if you can do the exact same job anywhere with a computer and Internet connection.
- Hoping everything postponed all starts up at the same time. Could be a culmination of sports porn never seen before.
- Watched the Richard Jewell movie last night. Can't think of a more unassuming good guy hero but also could be a Walmart greeter.

Classic ShowKiller - get off that fence, buddy lol
Psssssht, touch it. Ft. Zack beach is still open so we’re all going there today while we can. Look out olds, the vectors are heading for some sun.
Was thinking about that same stuff this morning. Going to change how we operate as it's one of those milestone events.
The trend of at home convenience (movies, food, delivery) is certain to move to hyper speed. Bet theaters and sports events get crushed long term.
We'll balk on bringing a lot of manufacturing back here, because money, but moving it out of China needs to happen. ASAP.
Should be a nice test run for a virus that's an actual threat to us.
I think there's validity in all of those questions, but the problem is America can't function or prosper without a viable healthcare system. Our hospitals and care providers would be completely overwhelmed during this "new normal" of people contracting the virus as if it was the common cold.
So, the "deal with it/profit" world you're describing is fantasy. Unless you're willing to roll the dice without hospitals for 12-18 months, of course. I don't think we have a choice but to try and contain/slow this thing as much as humanly possible for the next 30-60 days.
China has less than 100k cases and over a billion people. At the rates of expansion people are throwing around here, China should’ve been completely infected by now. But it didn’t happen. And they were only shut down 45-60 days, depending on the part of the country. Some of the biggest cities in the world. Some of the most crowded conditions in the world. Some of the worst hygiene in the world.
And now they are back open. That gives me hope. According to that report, there should have been tens of millions of deaths there.

I don't trust anything about China's numbers. I still can't believe MoC tried to claim those ******** handled this well. That's actually probably the worst take that has ever been made in GYERO.
Carrying a bat to an NBA game is a genius move by comparison.

I mean, China’s test kits were a coin flip accurate at best. That’s why the US said no thank you when the WHO offered them. The FDA said they were garbage.
But of course Trump hates america.
And now “some” on the left are screaming about his stimulus, bailout, socialist spending running up the deficit. TDS

I imagine containment is pretty easy when you treat your citizens like a disposable resource and just throw bodies into a hole to set them on fire.
China created this. China sat on this. China is trying to pin this on America. F China. They are not in anyway to be trusted.

Wait.. Kaylee Hartung has Corona? This has gone too far.
If you believe anything coming out of China, you're a waterheaded idiot:

Increased testing, Bill.
American basketball player in China says that they're "pretty much back to normal" over there. Other than having to take your temperature every time you enter a building, he says it's the same as before it hit.
And they have basketball games scheduled again in South Korea for the end of the month (without fans).
So that's something.
Still remains to be seen if this thing comes back over there, at least before a vaccine is developed, so there's a lot TBD.
On a related note, the decision to expand Cardinal Stadium sure turned out to be a good one.
