Oh boy. Is it about that estimate from that slide show presented for the American Hospital Association? The one where, in my very next post, and after someone pointed out that it was not the work of the AHA as I thought (like everyone else) but rather a consultant or something, I said this...?
I won't even ask what I did wrong
@829305 here you go. From saturday....
Did the guy on the podcast say the 480,000 deaths would be in 2 months?

What you did wrong was not only leave the false info (480,000 deaths in 2 months) but re typed it after you read the correction.
Regardless of whatever the reality is, I was referring to the attitude of people that spew that line. We hear it about the flu all the time. "Whattya freakin out for, it's only gonna kill ya kids and parents/grandparents!"
But I've also heard it a lot in reference to corona. I have no idea what the statistics show. I also don't trust stats coming out of China.
Ok I thought you meant it with COVID-19. Everything I’ve been reading has said that it’s not that bad for kids. Misunderstanding.
Just had a moment of clarity. Its all beginning to make sense. The puzzle pieces are slowly coming together, but soon the picture will be revealed. Alex Jones was arrested last night for DUI even though he was under the limit. He was arrested because he knows the truth and was about to spill the beans.
Trump and China were working on a trade deal, and finally agreed to one recently. This trade deal hurt China. China decides the only way to stop Trump is to work together with the Democrats to release a virus that targets old white men aka TRUMP supporters.
They got the virus from the Illuminati who Trump has been kicking out of the white house and other high up positions. The only way to protect yourself from this is buying Survival Shield X-2 from Infowars. Hurry now before the lizzard people destroy all the supply.

Am likely going to have to cancel our first family vacation in 10 years that everyone would be in attendance (cruise). .
Not because we're concerned about its lethality, but because we're afraid the state dept. won't let us disembark.

Apparently this is called panicking. Because you're liberal (or as Crappy Davenport would say, communist).

Trump is to COVID-19 numbers as Smokey is to bowling: no matter the rules, "Mark it 8, dude!"
Poor guy. Probably got the herp from his mom and now the Corona from his dad.
You make a solid case.You sure?
Edit: of course, the Coronavirus might be safer than her virus.
It's weird the Ivy League put that out when their regular season winner has always been the one who goes dancing I think.
I agree. In fact, my dermatologist told me to keep taking my Humira. However, I think people being concerned about it because of its impact on the elderly is rational. To me, the biggest difference between it and the flu would be the lack of a vaccine or any sort of antibodies maybe?? I don't know but that seems reasonable. I'm just a gym teacher though.
My wife does that to me when I get the flu.
One of my vacations this summer is at Tybee Island so maybe they will shut the island off from everyone while we are there. That would be pretty awesome.
Well played, asshole.
What about NC Central? I feel like that would be more relevant to the basketball team.
UNC is always ahead of the curve. In a few years all the blue bloods will be tanking during the season to give their prospects rest before the draft as well.
UNC doesn't send players there for classes.
This is true.
Although to be fair, UNC doesn't seem to send players ANYWHERE for classes...?
It will be interesting to see how they cancel school going forward. If you cancel school then suddenly hundreds or thousands of kids in those districts need somebody at home to take care of them. In the case of nurses and hospital workers, a report (referenced in that podcast I mentioned yesterday) says that 28% of them would have to stay at home to look after their kids in the case that school was cancelled. That would put a much higher burden on the hospital staff which is already projected to be thin in the worst cases. You also would have plenty of other 9-5 type workers that would need to stay home to look after them. That is lost production which will result in lost wages, lower earnings and all that jazz that affects the economy. Governments have to be very careful with how they proceed with these closings.
It's also why you have to be careful with how you cancel things. Festivals, tournaments, large public gatherings are generally just one off's during the year and you can postpone them pretty easily. It sucks but the world doesn't revolve around them. That's why you're seeing so many of them getting mentioned right now. You don't close things like grocery stores, shopping centers, malls, gas stations or any other place where hundreds and hundreds of people will cross paths on a daily basis. Not yet atleast. Those are places that are economy thrives off of and are essential to our daily lives. You only close those in worst case scenarios.
Like I've read and heard before, we're just now seeing the beginning of what is coming per people a lot smarter than I am.

I think there needs to be an official statement from our CDC that covers every aspect of the virus that the general pop can understand. How is it different from the regular flu, why is it such a big deal if its just the flu (they need to explain the danger of a large number of people getting it at one time, the risk/ratio of someone getting the virus, beating it, and then being re-exposed b/c somebody has it. Does being around it constantly affect your ability to get it after you've had it? Is it much more serious if you get it again?
Cancelling it would be a real shame.
They should do like the CFB Playoff and just invite 4 teams.
Kansas
Baylor
Dayton
Gonzaga
We can all agree on that, right?
I wasn't getting worried until yesterday, when it seemed like the smaller conferences and some of the power ones even were issuing statements. Either cancelling their tournaments all together, letting people know that no fans will be there, or confirming nothing has changed yet.
But now it seems almost inevitable that at the very least there will be no fans at the tournament. I hope like hell I'm wrong, though
We can go to the 8 best teams if you like.
Kansas
Baylor
Dayton
Gonzaga
Duke
Michigan State
San Diego State
Louisville
No logic with this either. Two of those teams you listed won't even be 2 seeds.
