    Crazy thing is, so far, this event that the firefighters are trying to blame Trump on, has definitively been a huge bump in his reelection odds

    And the place of the country that is having the most issues is one that's leaders actively engaged their citizens to go out and brace crowded situations.

    Convenient to now blame this on Trump.

    Frankly, a reasonable point. Letting the state dictate our lives in exchange for poultry checks reminds me that liberty is the best course

    What would you do? Remember the response would have to big enough that China respects The US and walks away. No little sanctions or kicking ambassadors out

    BDB has known to be incompetent. I'm chowing down on a lemon pepper chicken now (but not really, but maybe?)

    Could be. I'll be curious to see if we have a worldwide spike in illness related deaths this year.

    Thought experiment re: death rates.

    Think of a number for what percentage of NYC you personally think has been infected and had the virus completely run its course.

    We have no idea what the actual number is, but here are the current death rates for that various percentages:

    50%: .03%
    25%: .05%
    10%: .13%
    5%: .3%
    1%: 1.3%
    0.5%: 2.6%

    So if the virus has already infected and cycled through only 10% or less of NYC, then we're surpassing thethe's .1% death rate projection. Higher than that and his numbers are more on track.

    Has someone released a total deaths projection for NYC yet? Whatever that number is seems low

    Thinking that the govt is infringing on your rights by making people stay in during a pandemic is why I thankfully do not embrace libertarianism really anymore

    Making that argument in the middle of a pandemic and arguing your stance in a vacuum with no regard to reality is just absurd and should be laughed at. Which is what happens to that viewpoint most of the time.

    I’ll remember this when I see you try to claim to be pro life though lol

    I haven't seen a specific projection, but the % increase in daily deaths in NY State is actually slightly higher than where Italy was at the same number of deaths. NY was quicker to go into "shutdown mode" so hopeful it won't be as bad, but it is still likely to be awful.

    Italy After 500 deaths

    2020-03-10 ​​​ 631(+36%)
    2020-03-11 ​​​ 827(+31%)
    2020-03-12 ​​​ 1,016(+23%)
    2020-03-13 ​​​ 1,266(+25%)
    2020-03-14 ​​​ 1,441(+14%)



    New York State After 500 Deaths

    2020-03-27 ​​ 519(+34.8%)
    2020-03-28 ​​ 728(+40.3%)
    2020-03-29 ​​ 965(+32.6%)
    2020-03-30 ​​ 1,218(+26.2%)
    2020-03-31 ​​ 1,550(+27.3%)
