Perhaps you have turned and aren't even aware. Good for you.

Can you imagine if Obama had sent money to foreigners? There would be investigations for years and dumbashes like sally and rigged would say he personally ordered it.

Obama would have admitted to the IRS' mistake and immediately FOX, the conservative radio nutjobs, the conspiracists and Russian trolls would have feasted on this until the GOP tried to impeach. But in trumpland, nobody even notices.

Sally Vix as expected on the far right.

There's a false dichotomy, and it's all over these boards...

The world is not black and white, it's 50 shades of gray (forgive the crappy novel reference).

Fact is, people who want to totally open up and people who want to cower indoors are both problematic. The UN just estimated that 130 million ppl could be on brink of starvation by end of 2020 given current lock-down measures. However, if we open too early, we might see spikes...

So the question remains: what's the balance?

If you wanna call ppl stupid for wanting to work because they have spouses and kids and no money, that's on you. If you wanna call ppl stupid for wanting to stay indoors because they're immuno-compromised, fine.

What we do know is sunlight is good and nature's lovely disinfectant. Heck, this is nothing new, many of us love to run on a nice sunny day, it does the body and mind good.

Immune systems do weaken when inside and when not exposed to other people. Many of us would be fine going back to work. We might get sick, but the fatality rate of covid-19 is nothing crazy. Most of us will be fine. If we shut down the whole economy for much longer, we'll have worse than the Great Depression. Just consider the effects of depression, mental illness, anxiety, lack of food and resources, domestic abuse, crime - and of course, all the people who will die because they are turned away from hospitals due to covid-19 priorities.

Bottom line: it's time to open up. Smart, pragmatic guidelines to get most of us back to work and safeguard the elderly and vulnerable.

Oops, sorry, I just realized that people could go outside during the “lock down”

I feel suitably stupid now.

As you should.

You spend untold hours on an anonymous message board just waiting to pounce on certain posts and share your witless, snarky little remarks, all the while using the genius handle that I created and somehow thinking you're doing something.

I mean, you're a joke guy. I could literally post at any point during the day and you'd probly be lurking ready to respond. Lol you're a total clownjob bro. You know that, I know that, anybody worth their salt knows that.

Press Secretary Kayleigh says $40 million dollars lost on Mueller investigation that completely & totally exonerated trump!

How did she swallow that whopper?

Lots of practice?

It's not about striking a balance. The virus doesn't care about your balance. If you open up more it will infect more. Then you have to shut down again because people get sick, hospitals are overwhelmed, hundreds of thousands die, and everyone feels helpless.

There is plenty of food. We just have to direct it to the places it is needed.

There is plenty of money. We just have to direct it to those who need it.

The way to beat the virus is to do what China did.

1) Shut everything down.

2) Stop the spread.

3) Test like crazy.

After a few months you can open back up. But if you open up before doing those three things, you just prolong the agony and make the economy worse.

5/1 data

Still no good news - rolling along the plateau yet another day. And again the US is much worse than the world.

7 day average of daily deaths:

World: +1%

USA: +5%

world ex-USA was flat, so there's that. Our bad performance is definitely making the world stats worse.

The US is up to 65,000 deaths. I suspect the IHME Model, which is still at 72,000 deaths by August 4, will be revised up toward 90,000 on Monday. We're doing 2,000 deaths per day while they are predicting 1200 per day.

Three day averages DO so improvement, because they do not include a very bad day on 4/28.

World: -4%

USA; -8%

But if the cycle stays the same, one day this week will be very bad. 7 day averages have been better tells, with less noise in them.

No relative improvement for Sweden yet...in fact they fell back to 10th place. No sign of herd immunity slowing this thing for them.

The US has held 16th place for a few days. Despite deaths falling by 2/3 in New York State.

Obviously everyone is looking at the nations opening up..Germany, Sweden, USA etc.

Maybe I'll start looking at new cases to see things are picking up again.

Waiting three weeks for deaths will be a lagging indicator.

On to another day waiting to come down the backside of the curve.

You are one of the few rational people on this board, prepare to be attacked...

Trump was totally exonerated by the Mueller report.....Even though it was a 'set up'....Several of the investigators very well might end up in jail...

Now we see the problem with the “hotspot” theory.

While treating hotspots as outliers, you’re ignoring the obvious threat that most places will become deeply affected without countermeasures, which is what’s gradually happening in USA.

My understating is that elixir does not save lives and only shortens recovery times.
