Trump just said that the hope (not plan, hope) is to have everything open by Easter. 

When are you going to concede - or at least understand - that DT simply says what it takes to get to the next news cycle

Takes big balls to make a statement like this after you got duped by the most obvious fake news of the week just a few hours ago ;) 

 

Once again you prove that you're a ridiculous person.

Who hasn't mixed a little chlorox into their Gin and T yet?  CHLOROquine....CHLOROx?  With that many letters in common, it's gotta be the same thing.

 

 

If DT had not touted it as a cure....they would not have done it

Wrong. He never said Fish Tank Cleaner once. Ever. 

 

But you know who did? 

 

The media. For days. 

 

You're wrong on every count here. You got duped. Because you WANTED it to be true. Because your brain is broken.

NYC cases expected to peak in 2 weeks per Cuomo. Buffalo is a couple of weeks behind NYC.

 

And Erie still can't test adequately.  Way behind.

I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert here, and I'm not sharing to prove any sort of point. I'm tracking daily case data via worldometer because it interests me. I have overlayed the data since 2/15 for Italy, Spain, Canada, and the US. I also charted the same data, but with total cases divided by population. Mostly posting in case anyone else finds it interesting. Both charts have an exponential best fit line for each data set with equation and r^2 values displayed. Italy is green, Spain is yellow, Canada is red, US is blue.

Interestingly, despite the 'lag' between Italy and the US, both had ~1 case/50k population on 2/15.

Cool stuff. What did you use for that. Excel?

So the growth rates are found from e^#?

Seems you can conclude the US is (so far) on the worst growth path trajectory, no?

The government is going to have to balance deaths from the virus vs. deaths from the rioting/looting/fires that are going to break out if you lock down the country for weeks on end with no money and nothing to do.

 

Battling the virus is bad enough - imagine trying to do it with Baltimore, Los Angeles and Philadelphia all on fire and out of control too.  There aren't enough police, national guard and military to handle that crisis on top of the health crisis.  

 

You add on top all the nutbag militas and groups out there itching for an opportunity too and you have quite a powder keg of problems.  

 

Trump isn't 100% wrong about not wanting to do a lock down for months.  You'll have cities on fire in weeks, not months if things continue.

I'm confident you're not this dumb, but only because the threshold is so low. It's slightly above drinking any specialty household cleaner.

Started in excel, moved to Google sheets so I could access from work, home, or phone. The growth rate would be the e^#, yes, which is why it's consistent from country to country on each chart. I actually started tracking it to get the equation so I could check the daily cases vs the model to get a gauge on whether a given day was good or bad. The reason we're further out on our curve is the multiplier, and I'd imagine that has to do with preventative measures like the January travel ban, but there are just so many variables. What's concerning is that our 38th day number exceeds the prediction, while Italy and Spain are below it.

  It's like piping nitrous oxide through a breather because ya know the air has oxygen and nitrogen in it after all.

Some of the models I’ve seen start when the country had roughly its 100th case. I’m sure you played around with it. Good fits for sure. 

Other things I’ve seen are trying to predict the turning point by using dates when lockdowns happened, Using China’s data for example. Thanks for sharing.

Worldometers data starts on 2/15. If the cases were 0 I'd skip it, but there have been cases so I figure it's valid. When cases on 2/15 were factored into population its pretty similar values across the board actually. I guess for China I'd have to do a polynomial regression? I suppose I could 

 

Double checking my notes, we were at 31.7% yesterday and with current numbers we're up to 34%, so not a good day...

I think hoping to completely get rid of restrictions by Easter may be a little over-enthusiastic.

But it’s going to be fun to watch the Megalithic Media start arguing for economic collapse.

I would never cite the Blaze though like I never cite Huffington Post or Mother Jones unless they're linking an article to more mainstream news sources like the WSJ, Reuters, USA Today, etc..

Yet mainstream holds a bias that others do not. It is so hard to know.

There is no fear in this dojo, Jrober. Toughen up. Fear and panic are the enemies in times like this.

It is a fact, and it is driven by NYC metro area.  As Cuomo said today, the federal government needs to provide thousands of respirators from its emergency stock (not 400) since it is the epicenter of the crisis.  I'm sure the city will be bustling with work by next week though....

It's a fact that fear and panic are bigger killers in times of crisis than anything else. We knew bigger numbers were coming. Being afraid of it solves nothing. Panicking about it solves nothing. It increases the chances you'll get sick, in fact. :beer:

You are right. Providing respirators is a smart decision. It is not fear and panic like fukrhino says.

A perfect example....................thank you.

 

 

NEVER LET A PANDEMIC GO TO WASTE: NY physicians urge Gov. Cuomo to ban tobacco to battle coronavirus.

 

 

Sure..........it would be great if everyone stopped smoking..........it's a filthy habit.

 

But can you see how the "cure" would be worse than disease.................it would only add to the problems........

How the media twists......

 

 

 

Nope. It’s Hope, it’s a target, something to aspire to... have to have a vision.

All about trying to save American lives. Those respirators and ventilators will save American people lifes.  To help them out. People are struggling, doctors, police, fireman, nurses among others struggling to fight this. All around the world.

No argument. 

 

But my point still stands. Being afraid, as Jrober seems to be, is a sure fire way to make a mistake in times like this. Panic and fear are to be avoided, not encouraged.
