A lower death rate means more will probably die

Hello Bill,

While that is pretty dire but:

Not even every state has cases~you are assuming everyone in the country gets it...As of Sunday night, Louisiana is one of 16 states without a confirmed coronavirus case

Additionally that assumes nothing will occur-cure/fix etc etc etc to stop &/or impede the spread...

It is a safe assumption that it is now in every State. Because of our lack of testing capability, there are far more cases in reality than the CDC-confirmed ones reported in the news.

And we have still not taken the drastic steps which were possible in a communist country like China. We have not shut down travel. Nor have we banned everybody from the public, like Italy. In both cases those governments wished they had taken those measures before they actually did. By the time the decision was made, it should have already been done some time prior. Because of our lack of leadership, we are way behind that curve. The national emergency declaration was late. It should have been done 6 weeks ago.
 
Yes, it it, to the leftists hoping that COVID-19 will be the "Trump's Katrina" they have been hoping for since he defeated Hillary.
Indeed.

PoliTalker made it political when he was cheering the economic loss caused by the Chinese virus.

No empathy for these millions of Americans and their families.

Disgusting.

Since you have been cheering the economic loss to millions of Americans caused by a Chinese virus that was not contained by the Chinese, why would anyone care what your opinion is, Snowflake?
 
Why do you expect the number of cases to grow EXPONENTIALLY?

Because that is what infectious diseases do. They naturally grow exponentially until they hit a natural or man made barrier. 1 person infects 10 people. 10 people each infect 10 people, so 100 people, and then a thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, etc.

We haven't seen exponential growth of this anywhere in the world, including China.

We have seen exponential growth everywhere in the world, including China. The only thing stopping exponential growth is quarantining(a man made barrier), or lack of new populations to infect(a natural barrier).

China is on the bottom of their bell shaped curve.

The first half of a bell shaped curve is EXPONENTIAL GROWTH. If they have contained the virus through quarantining patients, then they should see a bell shaped curve. If it escapes, they will see more exponential growth.

Maybe, maybe not.

In the interest of fairness, Earl, I would feel no empathy whatsoever for millions of DEMOCRATS and their families should they succumb to the illness they obviously hope will help them politically.
 
Can't help thinking that Walt, Dutch Uncle come from the same sock drawer!!

LOL. Thanks. I was already in a conversation with some others about those on this forum rabidly paranoid about sock puppets. As I posted there, it's been my experience that, like a cheater thinks their spouse is cheating on them or a thief thinks others are stealing from them, that most of those paranoid about sock puppets are guilty of doing it themselves.

Of course, this doesn't even address the point that they are paranoid to begin with. Paranoia, and many other mental illnesses, are not like being pregnant where one either is or isn't. In the case of paranoia it comes in digress; some mild, some severe.

Some can be drug induced such as smoking pot, meth or coke (the latter two RW favorites).

While it's possible you were just joking, it's impossible to tell (denials or not) on a first look. Most psychological observations take time, even if it's archival research such as scanning hundreds of older posts like this: https://www.justplainpolitics.com/search.php?searchid=3737406&pp=&page=80

FWIW, I don't have much respect for Brits. They're still snooty and arrogant despite constantly getting their asses kicked for the entire 20th Century without the assistance of Americans.

There's reason Americans booted the British Monarchists and their Redcoats out of our country.

More like a commentary about those paranoid about sock puppets. Sorry about the link, it works for me. Basically it's just searching Havana Moon's posting history, 80 pages of it. I didn't read many, just skimmed them for a "feel" about his personality before I responded. I understand everyone has bad days. Most people are 90% good and 10% assholes. If a person is 90% asshole, that's their problem but it does put their posts in perspective compared to a person who is only an asshole 10% of the time.

10% Rules

10% of any group are assholes.

10% of the people cause 90% of the problems.

We're all assholes 10% of the time.

The fact that most people who get the disease live to spread it further is what means more will die.

Because way more people will end up getting it.

Just to be clear, I was here first, so you must be my sock puppet, not visa versa. THAT IS A JOKE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW!!!!

The Alt Right is desperate to change the subject to personal attacks, because they lose on the issues.

LOL. Good point about clarification.

I've noticed that the far Right loves to lie, make false accusations and otherwise distort the truth. OTOH, I've been on forum which were extreme Left and they did the same shit.

Example #1: PH Biased LW mods and biased LW members. Say something less than full-on asskissing of Hillary or Obama and they'll dogpile you just like the RWNJs here do for anyone saying something negative about Trump.

CORVID-19 = God's way of saying "You're too old and bitter, now come home". :D
 
Hello Dutch Uncle,

CORVID-19 = God's way of saying "You're too old and bitter, now come home". :D

I don't think there is a God.

You, of course, are entitled to your own beliefs.

The evolution of a new disease is just that. Evolution.

You should know that I am not into the personal attack thing.

Please understand I stand behind my PIP and enforce it. Just don't say anything about me and we'll be fine. If you want to get personal, you definitely have the wrong person to play games like that.

Awesome, Atheist or Theist, can you admit there could be a silver-lining to CORVID-19?
