    Dude...you are completely re-writing history. It is trump and his defenders who repeatedly and explicitly analogized and compared this virus to the flu, especially in the early days.

    You said it yesterday, not sure I believe you could've flown from China last week either without special circumstances like getting Americans home and straight to quarantine. Bottom line you've been touting this for a few weeks and I believe you got bad info, just like yesterday.

    I printed screen shots of flight to and from China! China stopped all flights for foreign nationals into and out of China meaning US nationals could no longer fly to China. The US would still have flights into and out of China if they could.

    Sorry, a website saying there are flights doesn't mean anything. The reason I question it is because, one of my suppliers was trying to get home and literally had to get approval for Homeland to get back and immediately went into 2 week quarantine a month ago. Like I said not saying you couldn't but it had to be special circumstances.

    80% infection rate and 5% mortality rate is no where near accurate. Where did you come up with numbers like that and has any virus in the history of the world had an 80% infection rate?

    Hence saying that there was a travel ban from 31st Jan is wrong. What nationality was your supplier? By March all travelers had to go into self isolation, but no checks were made enforcing this and they weren't quarantined unless they traveled in Wuhan.

    I didn't just post a snapshot of a website booking site. I also posted a copy and paste of actual departures & arrivals from Beijing to LAX or JFK directly from their airport websites one of which is below:

    The common cold for starters. And I took those number from predictions from people like Fauci and looking at data from other countries.

    I also told you that Louisana was exploding. You shot that down with YOUR numbers. How did that work out? ;)

    My numbers were for that current day and they were correct. Are you arguing today's numbers with Sunday's numbers to claim victory? You are not stupid, so I"m assuming you have a better debate than that. You can't dispute that with your maps that are out of date. I pointed that out to you when you posted them yesterday and provided you with the most up to date numbers and you chose to ignore it. Not much else I can do for you, can't spoon feed you facts daily.

    On forms of social media, including my state of Arkansas's governor's page, I'm shocked at the amount of people who are begging for a mandatory shutdown, quarantine, LOCKDOWN, closing states borders, etc. Calling in the National Guard! How quickly we are willing to give up our constitutional rights. Just unreal!

    The state of Arkansas is at 523 cases, with 15 new cases today.

    I remember that you took significant issue with the reporting on the CDC model that said 200,000 US dead in the most conservative case scenario. This is the model that the US task force just showed.

    Listen, Worldofmeters tells you explicitly that their numbers should not be taken as an exact digit. It is wholly inappropriate to claim that John Hopkins is wrong simply because Worldofmeters tells you a different number.

    If you have a preference for one source over the other, that's fine. But both are very good sources.

    And it's day and after day after day. Do you not care to receive accurate information? We aren't talking off by a few, but thousands? I guess accuracy isn't for everyone.

    Tracking the few states that I do, worldmeters matches exactly to those states health departments.

    The CDC also has a tracker and their number lags WorldofMeters and John Hopkins by tens of thousands.

    I"m referring to being off by thousands for a single state. You said you don't really care so use whatever source you want.

    He is using the same respected source at roughly the same time each day. That is wholly appropriate. Some States are simply going to report their numbers at different times of the day. His latest graphic is timed for 1:28pm EST. If you are going to compare that chart to WorldofMeters from ~6:00pm EST, then you are going to see a different number.

    If you want to use WorldofMeters instead of John Hopkins, that's fine.

    Nope, those numbers were wrong as of 1:28pm also. Doesn't matter though, you'll come up with some other lousy excuse for the inaccuracy. There are great sources for the most up to date info, why anyone would purposely not use them, I cannot explain. I want to see each day's number and compare to see what's happening. If you don't care, why even look, why even post it.
