The Coronavirus, not the beer

What did we know in early March? What were health experts saying then?

I mean many health experts were calling for Trump to cancel these rallies in early March and Trump refused. But that's irrelevant to this argument. Because after the fact, you still defended Trump holding these rallies.

they were saying it would go away like a miracle

Only 15 cases. In a couple days it will be zero.

No, I've clearly said based on information at the time nobody thought it was a big deal considering yiu had nyc health leaders saying everyone should still hang out in Chinatown.

It did go away for a bit actually but since trump announced rallies it magically came back.

I guess that's one way to make sure your medical system doesn't get overwhelmed. Wonder who the lucky nonagenarian was. Did he/she win a lottery?

Whats an appropriate amount of time frame to evaluate excess deaths? Are people dying 2 years earlier than they would? 6 months?

I've asked you before what you thought an appropriate discount factor might be on the value of older lives. Still waiting for an answer.

Depends on the expected time of each of those till they would have naturally left us. But each person's life is valued differently based on how many love them and what they've contributed.

I would prefer not to put monetary values on anyone's lives.

It is something none of us wants to do.

If you look at the allocation of ICU beds, that has been happening in lots of places.

Even if the doomsayers are right, it is over as soon as they said protesters were acceptable. The health experts have lost their moral authority forever. Governors who arrested people for going to a park but protested with 10000 people have lost their moral authority.

Its over

This is undoubtedly how the majority of people feel.

The only reason to participate in social distancing is to protect yourself.

So you wanted to give cops free reign to beat protesters into quarantine when they are protesting police brutality? Because thats really the alternative to just letting them protest.

Health care experts shouldn't consider social issues. Once they do, their expertise is compromised.

I supported protests.

I also supported people allowed to open their business or attend a friends funeral or yes, even get a haircut

[cajunrevenge]

I think it was acknowledging reality.
