Buffalo_Gal Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Since the Wuhan Virus was first announced 69 days ago: Total number of confirmed global cases = 170,150 Total number of confirmed global deaths = 6,513 Total number of confirmed recoveries = 77,254 The 2019-2020 flu season (10/1/19 through 3/7/20), US statistics only (estimated): Flu illnesses: 36,000,000 – 51,000,000 Flu medical visits: 17,000,000 – 24,000,000 Flu hospitalizations 370,000 – 670,000 Flu deaths 22,000 – 55,000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their solutions were to do what Trump has already done. Oh, and invest our resources in methods that they know nothing about but should be successful because their cause is righteous.

No, I was replying to the issue of the differences between Dem and Repub expectations on the future path of this outbreak. I think the reason they differ so much is due to the information sources used by each group. Denying reality worked for a long time for Trump and for Fox viewers and they won't turn away from those sources so quickly in spite of the unfolding facts.

That is if they can find a way to power the trucks they need to bring the supplies to the job sites. Maybe Joe could give the bottle a good rubdown and the Genie/Aladdin could provide enough magic carpet rides to get the job done.

It's got good fibre. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/16/new-york-new-jersey-and-connecticut-agree-to-close-restaurants-limit-events-to-less-than-50-people.html Quote The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have agreed to a common set of rules to reduce density throughout the region, closing movie theaters, most restaurants and bars and limiting public gatherings to fewer than 50 people. “We have agreed to a common set of rules that will pertain in all of our states, so don’t even think about going to a neighboring state because there’s going to be a different set of conditions,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday during a press call on the fast-spreading COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. The states will prohibit crowds of 50 or more, including private parties. Restaurants, bars, gyms and movie theaters will need to close by 8 p.m. on Monday. Casinos, other than tribal casinos, will also need to close. Restaurants that can serve take out food will be allowed to continue doing so, governors Cuomo, Ned Lamont of Connecticut and Phil Murphy of New Jersey announced in a joint press call. The rules are in effect “until further notice,” Murphy said. The federal government has “been behind from day one on this crisis,” Cuomo said. “States, frankly, don’t have the capacity or the power to make up for the federal government.” He called on U.S. officials to coordinate closings across the country, saying state and local leaders have adopted a “hodge podge” of different actions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday urged people across the U.S. to cancel or postpone events with 50 or more attendees for the next eight weeks to try to contain the fast-moving coronavirus pandemic.

You aren't still beating the drum for 'no big deal' and 'total overreaction' due to current death numbers, are you? If so, you did something similar a week or so ago....but with much smaller Covid-19 numbers. Do you see that these numbers are growing rapidly? Let me repeat, this outbreak is just beginning here. When we look back on this in a couple of years, I think the final numbers will be tragically high. But, I hope I am wrong...honestly I do.

Finding blame is an interesting issue but not really related to why Dems and Repubs, in the NBC poll, have such different expectations for the future of this outbreak. As you have told me before, if you don't like to read someone's posts, that is on you to put them on ignore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who was just in Spain, I would think you'd be a little more aware of how quickly this is spreading. I wonder how many cases there would've been if China did not quarantine a city of 10 million? Or Italy shut down its country? If we simply let this play out like a flu, do you know how many people would die? Did you hear Fauci on TV yesterday? Vs Trump who was so giddy about the Fed cutting interest rates? He really is not fit to lead on this thing because he is such a narcissist. Great guy to go against the deep state, but not a virus... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, with all due respect, you are not properly processing the unfolding facts. Certainly no need to fight over food, water, or TP, but the social restrictions are not being overdone, imo. The idea of flattening the curve is very sensible. In a given locale, if the hospital's capabilities are overrun with more dying patients than they can care for, death rates will far exceed a few percent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 2 hours ago, TPS said: Not true. Declaring a state of emergency allows for circumventing things. They waited too long to take it seriously because trump has been more concerned about the stock market. Even yesterday he was so giddy about Fed rate cut, and said Wall Street would be happy. Apparently they aren’t... You know any other tunes, or are you just a one trick pony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
