    In my completely unscientific survey of public sentiment and opinion-shapers, there's been a shift in the last day toward let's get working again.

    If we have enough data to make sounds decisions and the hospitals aren't being overwhelmed then this should be the case.
    Completely agree. If it's being reported that our hospitals look like Italy with people dying in the hallways because of lack of ventilators then we need to continue to make efforts to quarantine and isolate the people most likely to require hospitalization.

    225 was yesterday. 130 is today, but the day is still going.

    60% higher than yesterday.

    So 300 deaths tomorrow and total deaths hit 1,000?

    I’ll take the over.


    Thanks for confirming what you've been hoping for all along.
    I guess you Covid deniers are just better people.
    Yeah- COVID denier. Nailed me on that one. I don't think you're going to make detective.
    So you agree with my math.
    I agree with the board you have a goulish hope the death rate hits 1,000 sooner rather than later,
    I have an ability to look at the numbers and see reality. It’s a recognition, not a “hope”. This isn’t quite the nothing burger or joke some of your pals said it was. I admit to some grim pleasure in seeing their hubris flung back in their faces.
    Nothings changed with me.

    Will the death total warrant the hysteria? If the numbers play out to just a bad flu season then absolutely not.

    If at the end of this we're looking at massive fatalities outside the norm then take a lap hands raised.
    The Coronavirus isn’t replacing the flu. We still have the flu also. A 100% increase in the number of seasonal, killer viruses isn’t the minor matter you appear to believe it is.
    My 90 year old Grandma caught a fever last week and passed in her sleep two days later. She lived a great life, but dementia and other health complications had her teetering for awhile.

    Corona virus may very well be the closer to a lot of ailments, but saying these deaths are 100% in addition to is extremely naive.
    My dad died at 80 a few years ago. He was in bad shape for about seven years. You can take your pick as to what caused it - I've always gone with old age. He had a heart attack at 65 and it took him about four months to really get back on track. The common cold kills a lot of old folks. The media never mentions this. Ever.

    I'm not saying it's nothing, fake, or made in a lab. But the "It bleeds, it leads" media mantra didn't just change. People act like it did...no...it's intensified now...

    I'm not making an advisability argument, only observation of sentiment. For example, you've got Thomas Friedman in NYT opinion yesterday asking if the cure is worse.
    Yes, this was implied. There's a lot if's and but's in my comment.

    They are neither 100% in addition nor 0% in addition. I understand that eventually something kills all of us and it’s hard to argue that someone in her 90s was going to still be here in 10 years, but there are plenty of 50 and 60 and 70 somethings dying of it too.

    Yup. T's & P's on granny, btw. 90 is a damned good run.

    It's not like the cause of death is allocated 85% old age/parts wore out, 10% complications from diabetes, 5% COVID-19 respiratory failure.....it's getting marked down as 100% COVID.



    That’s true of influenza too. It’s still apples to apples record keeping.

    Depends on who the scorekeeper is.

    Right now, 5% COVID gets the W even though old age threw 8 2/3 innings of no-hit ball.
