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've said it before you don't want to panic over the CornonaVirus. Take every precaution you can, stay informed, practice social distance and stay productive at home. There's not much else you can do.

That said comparing it to the flu isn't the way to go right now.
People get use to it.

We knew, or most did, that a lot of people died of pneumonia every year. May not have known the ballpark or exact figure but they were aware. Just a "normal" part of life.

Yep.

Everyone dies just a question of when and how.

The first US death from the Coronavirus was four weeks ago today on February 29. It took 27 days to go from 1 death to 1,000 deaths in the US.

Now the US is over 2,000 deaths. That second 1,000 deaths took less than 3 days.

Exponential growth.

We didn't start social distancing until March 14th. That means we have 13-14 more days of exponential growth. This is going to EXPLODE. 500x2x2x2= 4000 dead. A day.

25 days from 1 to 1,000 also means 25 days from 1,000 to 1,000,000 (April 19th).

Crazy that we only have 1,000 more recovered than deaths.

So now a million are going to be dead in 3 weeks.


Sorry, I don't believe it.

I don't think it will be near that, but you need to prepare yourself for the possibility that this is going to be one of the hardest months in this nation's history.

That goes both ways. The more people who have it that aren't requiring any kind of treatment reduces the overall percentage of those that do.

In other words the more people who have it that aren't sick or going to the hospital is maybe not such a bad thing.

so if we are in the millions with 2,200 deaths. How many 10's of millions have to get it before we reach the 200,000 death toll?

Absolutely.

I'm still holding on to my optimism.

I tend to lean towards this myself. People are playing with the numbers to suit an outcome. Not saying Fauci is per say.

The U.S. is currently reporting more than 124,000 cases and more than 2,100 deaths.

Fauci was speaking to CNN’s “State of the Union” as the federal government is discussing rolling back guidelines on social distancing in areas that have not been hard-hit by the outbreak.

Fauci says he would only support the rollback in lesser-impacted areas if there is enhanced availability of testing in place to monitor those areas. He acknowledged “it’s a little iffy there” right now.
