    But we aren't "Locked down". There are a segment of the population still going to work every single day, people are still grocery shopping, going to hardware stores, etc.

    Our political Left certainly detected a political advantage for the 2020 presidential election season to deliberately stampede the nation into economically shutting down over the equivalent of their MSM's "We are all going to die!" assertions. Whether or not their and their upper level politicians running the DNC would still have done so had they had a strong slate of presidential contenders rather than just the pair of losers called Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden is guesswork.

    I look at it this way though. Either the nation's political Left was wrong to deliberately stampede this nation with their over the top, "We are all going to die!" predictions and thus will pay a heavy political cost for that come election day OR Trump was correct in his dealings with all the State governors and in his general handling of the response so that we did NOT end up all dying; and thus the Left will still pay a heavy price for THAT come election week.

    No.

    It's funny that this was your attempt at a response.

    90% of people hospitalized for C19 had underlying conditions

    i.e. to the majority of America this was indeed the flu, get it and beat it at home then move on.

    Gets more and more clear we over reacted by shutting it all down when we could have instead focused on protecting those most at risk instead of the mess that we did. Would have been much easier long term and a hell of a lot cheaper.

    He will get credit for it from the general population in Nov because his mug was on TV every night preaching it and millions watched. Every time the media give SD credit for "Saving America!" Trump gets a new voter. Very much like "It's A Wonderful Life" :)

    Meanwhile Joe was filming YouTube video 1000s were watching.

    Me either. Some people think we shut down and risked our economy for shits and giggles or some hoax. Along with most of the world . Not gonna happen. But we have many virud virus experts here that know more than experts who would have allowed crowds like mardegras. All over America.

    No nation does this for the seasonal flu. China sure as hell would not

    But the only way some would change their dogmatic minds is if they die from it.

    It was not treated like the flu We had people smarter than you instituting measures not used on the flu. That has vaccines btw.



    You are out of your paygrade here . on a fools errand .

    You better hope the next wave if there is one doesnt target your age group. Just depends upon how the mutations run . And if unlike the other corona viruses they can find a vaccine. Not one for sars or mers.

    Actually, a proper recollection of history is that Democratic governors were begging, BEGGING Trump to do something. And so Trump declared the National State of Emergency. What happened since, is the Democratic Joseph Stalins popping up everywhere across our country, AKA what's called the "stay at home" orders. Which quickly escalated into interfering with patient-doctor confidentialty.

    The Virus is real, the power grab is disastrous for country and freedoms.

    Besides the virus, which has wrecked the globe , Trump hasn’t done anything to wreck the economy at all. It was booming before China ****ed us.

    Trump has NO vested interest in the economy failing. Democrats on the other hand benefit greatly not only for election purposes, but in order to push bigger govt and more socialism.

    Independent, self sufficient people generally don’t vote Democrat. Poor people on lots of assistance with little means will vote their best interest, which is MORE assistance and that is the core of the Democrat platform.

    Once again we see the ugly side of conservative neoliberals spuriously denigrating less fortunate Americans.

    As of Good Friday, the number of known deaths from CoronaVirus inside the United States is 16,703 with only 466,396 infected. That is out of a population of 327 million people. Methinks that the doom and gloom promoters were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. But still they did manage to stampede the entire nation and temporarily wreck the national economy and so for the Dem Party leadership, that probably counts as a political win for the 2020 presidential election; which was probably the whole point.

    And profits are up with only 16,703 corpses! Five times 9/11 death toll. The toll is still being paid.

    You can't argue with success! Mayor Cuomo also announced that the corpse disposal problem has been resolved, but gave no details. And some people say there is no god!

    The industrious Ivanke Trump announced during the Trump Pandemic Response Briefing today a new boutique shower soap called "New Yorkers on a Rope."

    So you’re saying voting Democrat is degrading? I lll have to agree. :) Let’s try this. How about actually responding intelligently to what I wrote in a non trolling manner? Explain why it’s possibly inaccurate? Is it wrong? Your comment adds NOTHING to the discussion.

    Corona Task Force briefing Thursday:

    “The original outbreaks were very large, but the newer ones that we talk about in Washington and Philadelphia and Baltimore it looks like their attack rates–and attack rates in Denver and some of these other states that we have been talking about–are much lower than New York and New Jersey,” Dr. Birx said at Thursday’s daily briefing at the White House.

    “This gives us hope about really understanding how to integrate this information together, not dealing with a model, but the real live cases that are occurring, and understanding how to move forward together to really have a different future,” she added. (Dr. Deborah Birx)

    Just say it loud Doc: models do not work. MODELS DO NOT WORK.

    The US Army Corp of Engineers was tasked to utterly waste a whole lot of money and manpower based on models. They damn sure carried out their orders perfectly and were ready for what the soothsayer models spoke from towers upon high, however.

    Many LW posts in the thread are more examples of how people who don't and have never worked in the private sector for a living fail to have even an idgits grasp of things like the law of large numbers, elementary statistics, or even comparative reasoning capacity of an 18 year old in the FIRST DAY of actuarial class.

    Don't worry folks, these mental midgets' paychecks are completely safe... how bout yours?

    Some of us were correct, or closer to correct than the "experts."
