We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

4% death rate like Italy is seeing at 70% exposed = 10 million people. Society would probably completely break down.
H1N1 infected 18% of our population...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that swine flu infected nearly 61 million people in the United States and caused 12,469 deaths.

If the R0 of this bug is really double, we could see more than that, obviously.

I don't. I've been quoting the lowest estimate scenario of unchecked community spread and death rate every time.

I just wanted to throw the worst case out there to make the point.

No one panicking like this for anything else since 2008. It’s all because Trump.
Trump voters have a perpetual victim syndrome where nearly everything in this world occurs because the leftist media hates Trump.

It's amazing really.

That doesn't make the numbers any less true. We're aren't testing at all. We've run less than 10k tests total.

Again with the word panic.

I don't see panic. I see people and organizations attempting to be proactive.

I think everything has been pretty well documented you just choose to not see it.
