    Pardon me if I don't share your sense of the diminishing marginal disutility of death.

    Exactly what threshold of death do you deem tolerable? 168 is the TX death toll today.

    For how long will that be tolerable?

    Do you think that frequency will increase in the winter months? Will it be tolerable then if it is just a thousand deaths a day, instead of a hundred a day, because someone exceeded that daily count somewhere else?

    Before I say anything else, what you just said is one of the creepiest things I have ever witnessed with my own eyes.
    One of the creepiest things that you've ever witnessed with your own eyes? Really?

    I should feel bad that Texas, currently, isn't nearly as bad as NY in its peak?

    In my zip code with 30K residents, there are just over 200 ulative cases and zero deaths.

    Your unprompted denial raises questions it purports to answer, your indifference to the current rate of COVID 19 mortality tends to undermine that denial, I would say. A state of low sensitivity is on the emotional spectrum.

    You guys really hate when this is pointed out
    Actually it's a good illustration about just how stupid this current outbreak is.

    What a bunch of idiots we are to get back to the levels when we knew so much less about the virus and the disease.

    ^You thought this was a good point. Things are bad enough. No need to exaggerate by the media.

    I compared current numbers to past numbers. Don't know why that triggers folks.

    Yep. All part of your "at least I'm/we're not ____" routine.

    "At least we don't have as many deaths as NY"

    you're a disingenuous idiot.

    Cherp and Blerp sparring with Darrin. Too much beatdowns in the heavyweights.

    If all these "hot spot" states were having 1K deaths per day, it would be horrific. But, that's not the case.
    It's great that they're not. NY might've skewed what the normal is, but I don't know I would be celebrating having 100 or 200 covid deaths a day though.

    You said you weren't emoting, but that was false.

    Making mortality rate stand for dangerousness minimizes COVID-19. Some people get organ damage, strokes and permanent disability.

    If you cared about that, you'd lay more emphasis on managing/diminshing the size of the caseload, instead you apologize for the death rate.

    One hundred and sixty eight souls drowning on dry land a day is like, de minimis to you, literally because NY deaths were factor of ten, compared to ours, at some point?

    CHILDREN CAN VERY DEFINITELY PASS COVID-19 TO OTHER CHILDREN AND TO ADULTS

    a paper published in the most recent Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) draws starkly different conclusions.

    When adjusted for rates of contact,

    risk of transmission was found to be higher for children than for adults.

    In fact, school-aged children were the most likely source of infections in a household.

    We also found the highest COVID-19 rate (18.6%) for household contacts of school-aged children and the lowest (5.3%) for household contacts of children 0–9 years in the middle of school closure.

    That same study reinforces the information that other studies showing low rates of transmission among children “showed that

    school closure and social distancing significantly reduced the rate of COVID-19 among contacts of school-aged children.”

    In other words,

    the low rates of transmission by children ... was explicitly because of school closures and the resulting reduced rate of contacts by children.

    there are plenty of real-world examples.

    Like in
    Kansas City, where resuming summertime sport activities and teen parties has driven a e in cases not just among teenagers, but in their families.

    And in
    Cincinnati, where rates of positive tests for teenagers are up to 7% after just a few weeks of relaxed guidelines. Even kids under 10 are seeing 5% positive results.


    All the evidence indicates that

    teenagers can spread the disease
    just as well as adults,

    and there is really absolutely no reason to think the same thing is not true of younger children.
