    Happened in about five days. 20k+ cases diagnosed in the last day.




    I know.

    Poorly worded post.

    Should read:
    1k per day deaths happened in about five days. Not going down, as we have 20k new cases diagnosed in the last day.
    When has there been 1K deaths in one day in the US?

    Nah, it's worry, at least on the surface. I've seen almost zero discussion on progress or ideas toward progress, only gloom and doom predictions and scoreboarding new round number thresholds.
    Nah, you made up your mind and ignore anything that does not agree.

    ]I posted about antibody testing in NYC last night, and have been stressing the importance of mass testing and social tracking for weeks -- precisely to avoid gloomier outcomes.

    The way you and other posters pooh pooh a deadly pandemic that is wrecking great cities and has tipped much of the world into recession already, underscores your callousness. It's a kind of indoctrinated feeble-mindedness.

    This is an epochal event like the 2008-9 recession. In terms of economic wreckage and human misery it will easily outstrip it. Characterizing the danger, death, dislocation and misery as media hype misses the truth badly and arguably makes it worse.

    Death and caseloads aren't a scoreboard. They're a measure of how bad the pandemic is. Ignoring/downplaying caseloads and death because you don't like them -- as our President has done -- courts even more of the same.

    As for prediction, feel free to point out which ones of mine you think are wrong. The lack of mass testing and social tracking in the US so far, guarantees worse result than South Korea and Singapore.

    This is what I mean by that "tone at the top". The initial impulse by Trump and co. to minimize the PR damage by minimizing the threat itself soaked into the hive collective consciousness.

    To be fair, it is made worse by the fact that a lot of left-leaning media is playing up everything for ratings, which makes that right-wing collective brain dig-in to that stance in many ways.

    It simply highlights the most cultish aspect of the Trump party.

    Maybe newsgathering shouldn't be a for profit enterprise. Celebrity, fear and sensationalism get ratings but aren't a good way to inform and educate.

    Pro-Publica and the Texas Tribune are two non-profit examples.

    Once Trump is out it'll be fine. The "newsgathering" will be for a good cause, therefore the "profit enterprise" won't stink anymore.

    Just bad luck Corona came by when Trump is President.

    Nah, it's a problem in general. Not everything is about Trump.

    US deaths doubled in 2-3 days. At this rate the COVID-19 death toll since Feb 29 could surpass the 12 month H1N1 tally sometime next week.

    I'm just trying to head Splits off before he hits that grand a day prediction. If I can get till tomorrow morning's count without hitting much more than 700 I should be safe. I'm at about 450 dead right now.

    Nothing, thank Christ.

    Early on after the bet I was tempted to stake our presence here.

    Hmmm...

    I would have thought 9-11
    Maybe they don’t count 1 day digging out bodies over many days.

    lmao you honestly think there's a chance of under 1k by Friday? Yesterday was 525. There's no evidence the doubling rate is going to miraculously extend to 6 days.
