Meaningless. If it's spreading in NYC, it's in North Jersey, Connecticut, and the lower Hudson Valley. That's five - at least - different health departments responsible for one outbreak.

You have not seen morbidity rates ranging 1-3%. You have seen mortality rates ranging 0.4-6%. "Morbidity" and "mortality" are two completely different things. So shut the ***** up until you know what you're talking about, moron.

They're presumptive - there's a mathematical model that describes the spread pretty well (seen it on Twitter, only Japan doesn't fit.) Odds are, there's probably a lot more people in the US that have the virus than have been tested for it. Also means the odds are it's doesn't cause serious illness in most people. Gets back to what I said earlier: I haven't seen any number - not just a reliable number, but even a wild guess - as to the morbidity of COVID-19. Either no one knows, or no one's telling. South Korea's epidemiological numbers are probably the most accurate, since they did the broadest and most aggressive testing. The US numbers are probably least accurate. And don't ask me what's going on with Italy.

Three months I've been tracking this. Since two weeks before this thread started. Still haven't found a single number, reliable or otherwise, for the morbidity rate of nCOVID-19. It's ridiculous. The mortality rate varies only by how much testing a country does - more testing, less deaths. That's a clear indication that no one has any ***** idea what's going on. I hit Costo two weeks ago for non-perishables, figuring everyone was about to go nuts over this. And a couple weeks ago, someone asked me if they should take their planned trip to Costa Rica last week. I said "Sure, you'll be fine. It'll be the week of the 13th that the ***** hits the fan." I mention that only because my predictions have nailed all of this so far. So I'll make this prediction: this will all start to unwind and get back to normal probably just after Easter. Mostly, this is not nearly as big a crisis as people are acting. It's a big problem for the elderly, infirm, and immunocompromised, which is no small thing - I'm self-quarantined since yesterday, because my sister-in-law who lives with us has COPD, and if I bring the Kung Flu home, I probably get a bad cold, but it will kill her. But other than that, and supply chain disruption (i.e. groceries, gasoline)...in a year, we're likely to look back on this and snicker at the overreaction.

The best part is hearing them complain "Trump is a dictator!" for three years, then in the space of a week do a complete 180 to "Trump isn't enough of a dictator!"

Yeah, that whole "smart virus" thing and "tree branch" analogy was very scientific. You're ***** ignorant. Stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

Bloody hell, you're a ***** baboon. That is all.

And for my last post, you're all ***** idiots.

That was a damn nice throw by Watson.

What the *****? I go get a haircut, I leave the barber and it's 24-7. I get home, and it's 28-24?

Sirius Deep Tracks (channel 29, in my car at least) seems to be playing all Rush this weekend, which is nice.

The missiles Iran used have an error in aiming of +/- 500 yards. Meaning that when they're launched the safest place to be is pretty much where they're aimed.

Still better than Olympus Has Fallen. Ooof. That's a Decade Volcano. That's not good.

She didn't miss much.

Could hear some from the stadiums, too. Not just Tom Sawyer, which isn't uncommon.

Did you hear Neil Peart died too?

The irony is if you saw "Pegula vs. Wozniacki," and knew nothing else, you'd assume Ms. Wozniacki was the one from Buffalo.

Congratulations on hitting 250 posts. You're an idiot.

This is like watching Jim Kelly in a Superbowl...

Clean and beautiful. I'm amazed it wasn't flagged.

Ryan Tannenhill has more rushing TDs in this game than Lamar Jackson.

How many people does it take to fix a pylon? Apparently three.

Best thing about this game is not listening to Booger Mc*****stick. Second-best is not listening to Chris Collinsworth.

Yeah, I know that play just worked. But that was a hilariously ugly play.
