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!

I propose that Amazon makes all their movies free of charge for 60 days. Comcast, too.

Show me one article from a venerable media outlet that makes it sound like if you get it you are dead.

okay for all this Italy talk let's provide some numbers

Italy has 27,980 cases with 2,158 total deaths.

So everyone keeps saying we are on that path. Let's extrapolate just a touch....

Assuming our current case-mortality rate stays the same as it is today we would have roughly 1,670 fewer deaths.

Also our mortality rate is inching down. Last week we were 2.5% and we are down to 1.7%.

So either things are suddenly to going to explode in a bad way here or we are not heading towards Italy style scenarios.

Sure would have made a heck of a lot more sense than all this nonsense. Can anyone tell me why we're having this reaction to Covid-19 but were so chill with the more deadly swine flu a few years ago?
