Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

This is disingenuous.

The US doesn't have stats organized in the group TSA demands.

As far as I can tell, TSA wants to double child deaths this flu season and also kill an unknown number of adult school workers and family members.

Everyone who disagrees with you, wants to kill people.

He certainly doesn't want to stop those deaths. So.....

they do. This is all accessible

So that's the only possible thing to compare anything to?

The absolute worst case when the least was known about the virus?

There's absolutely nothing else you'd think to compare to?

We are peaking in the South now. Should I compare our numbers to NY, long after their peak? Makes no sense.

You need to stop soothing yourself with thoughts of NY dead.

Hey a new record. That changes everything. If we get one more tomorrow, is today's record really just , like Mark McGwire's HR record after Bonds smashed it a couple years later?

I'm not "soothing myself", I'm putting current state of affairs in proportion.

[spurraider21]

What was the buzzword?

"record"

he made a big stink about that after we set the "record" in daily new cases in recent weeks. figured calling something "record since june 2" would have been a funny jab but he didnt catch that i was teasing

That's how the TSA rodeo works. He posts a flurry of links he didn't read or understand and wants you to ride them.

I give in an do a bit of a sample. They are never what he says they are.

Everyone who disagrees with you, wants to kill people.

Strawman.

Anyone who wants to force schools to open wants to kill people, because that decision will spread the pandemic, which will kill people.

This isn't hard unless you are trying to make excuses, once again, for Republican policy failures.

You keep assuming and guessing and keep looking foolish. There is plenty in those links about adolescents. Lumping in 11 year olds with 18 year olds is lazy. And I already addressed the issue at high schools by requiring them to wear masks. Are you now conceding that it is safe to open all schools for children under 10?

If there was something in those links talking about how prone adolescents were you would post it. You haven't, so I will just assume that you are, again, lying by omission.

All the links I looked at were just studies on children 10 and under with no concrete data about adolescents. Highschoolers won't wear masks consistently, and lumping them into rooms without social distancing for seven hours a day, five days a week doesn't sound safe, even with masks. "just wear masks" isn't really much of a plan.

Your claim, your burden of proof.

Sounds like LabCorp is begging US states to ration diagnostic tests because productive capacity isn't keeping up with the spread of COVID-19. Is that right?

This is just one lab, Que

st is another, what do they say?

Seems really odd for a major lab to say publicly that they can't get er done. Probable pucker factor.

LabCorp CEO Adam Schechter told CNBC on Tuesday that the coronavirus is spreading faster in the U.S. than the company can expand testing capacity, leading to slower turnaround time for results.

"We need all states to ensure we're doing everything we can to better control the virus. If we can do that, then we'll be able to have the tests that we need," Schechter said on "Closing Bell."

Have you noticed that the most vocal COVID skeptics are also the most vocal climate change skeptics? Regardless of popular opinion or consensus among people with decades of expertise in their field, they see nothing but "alarmism" that threatens their contentment.

These are also the same people who think ANTIFA is literally going to kill them someday.

It is the anti-science streak, borne of skepticism about "eviloution", almost a straight line to climate change denialism, and now virus science denialism. Driven in large part in all cases by the religious right.
