Social Distancing 1 Week Earlier Would Have Saved 36,000 Americans

Social Distancing 1 Week Earlier Would Have Saved 36,000 Americans:

"The U.S. could have avoided nearly 36,000 deaths caused by the coronavirus through early May if stay-at-home orders and other social-distancing restrictions were implemented just one week earlier, a new study from Columbia University researchers shows.

The study, which focused on transmission in metropolitan areas, found that social-distancing measures adopted throughout the nation after March 15 "effectively reduced rates of COVID-19 transmission."

The researchers estimated that had the measures been instituted just one week earlier that the U.S. may have avoided more than 700,000 confirmed cases of the virus and as many as 35,927 deaths that it caused.

The researchers also estimated that if lockdown measures were instituted as early as March 1, approximately 54,000 fewer people would have died by May 3."

Just like John Oliver SAID!



" Just losing days in a pandemic which can spread exponentially is a huge problem, but an entire month is absolutely CATASTROPHIC. "

Prior to March 15, virtually every rightwinger on this forum, and their Orange God said COVID was a Democratic hoax, and it was really no worse than the common cold.

All those extra deaths were inevitable; they were already baked into the cake - Republicans prior to March 15 were never going to aggressivly and decisively plan and prepare for this pandemic.

Hello Centerleftfl,

Old people would have died anyway? Who cares, they're a drain on society? So they shouldn't be added into the possible 'excess deaths'? What are YOU saying.

A callous dismissal of needless deaths is very common among HIS supporters.

Anything but face up to the truth.

You're a lying little faggot Trump never called it a hoax he said the Democrat and media politicization of the virus is a hoax and you're living proof of that.

The word hoax is not a synonym for the word politicization.

Does 100,000 dead people seem like a hoax?

So your excuse does not even make grammatical sense.

You are simply parroting what your intellectual superiors on Fox told you to think.

Great point. Nice catch.

Oh, how the story changes to fit the narrative.

Out with the old narrative, in with the new.

Even if they are completely opposite!

Mexico paying for the wall? YOU paying for the wall.

WHO & CDC doing a great job? WHO & CDC is to blame.

It's a challenge to keep up.

[Geeko Sportivo]

That was not advised on January 4th, the WHO didn't even verify human to human transmission until January 21st you lying pos. On January 31st Trump implemented travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines for travel from Wuhan much sooner than most nations.

You flapping your little wet hen wings is hilarious!

Not only that, but your facts are wrong on all counts. Donald Trump only restricted Chinese nationals from de-boarding incoming flights from China- when everyone aboard those incoming flights from China should have been placed under quarantine and tested and tracked before being allowed to infect the country with the virus.

DING-DING! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK OUR COUNTRY GOT INVADED WITH THE DISEASE? THE WIND?

You are so stupid- so ignorant, that even a golf club upside the head wouldn't help you!

[PoliTalker]

Americans don't like to listen to sense until there is some kind of obvious reason.

Many people can think of dangerous intersections, but what is done to fix that until somebody dies there?

Usually - nothing.

We are going to lose about as many people as we did in the Civil War, so was the Civil War only a hoax? By the way, when I say "we" I mean the United States of America. I know many in the Alt Right are confused by that concept.

Hello Walt,

We are going to lose about as many people as we did in the Civil War, so was the Civil War only a hoax? By the way, when I say "we" I mean the United States of America. I know many in the Alt Right are confused by that concept.

WE will get through this TOGETHER.

The more humans who work together to beat the bug, the sooner we will do it.

It's the humans against the virus.

This is war.

We don't need any traitors working for the enemy.

Social distancing measures WORK.

It's the patriotic thing to do if you love your country.

[Callinectes]

Social distancing a week earlier would have saved 36,000 lives? How many lives would have been saved if we hadn't been told for a MONTH that masks were useless?

We were never told that masks were useless. We did not have enough masks for everyone, and so they were needed by healthcare workers.

This is Fauchi in March(stolen from Grajonca). Look, this is a brand new animal. It REALLY shouldn't have been politicized, and am I the only one who expected a bunch of conflicting information? So I'll keep on wearing a rag on my face until Fauchi or some other egghead says I need level 4 MOPP gear, or it's time to evacuate the planet.

Quoting random numbers and 'what ifs' is not a study. It is doing what Democrats do best: lie like hell and quote some fictional 'study' as science. Science is not a study or a research.

[PoliTalker]

Early testing would have saved even more lives.

But that was impossible since we had early denial by DT, who pretended the emerging pandemic was not a problem.

Indeed.
