Yeah downvotes serve no purpose on any comments. Should not even be an option....
I promise.......if you strongly disagree with me and engage in dialogue with me instead of a DV.....I will not be a b.u.t.t. head.
I won't promise that I'll agree......but I promise to listen ......and I'm open to learning.
Can't learn a darn thing from a DV.
I hope you're right but my theory is different. The problem started in Wuhan which is a major manufacturing/exporting region in China. It spread to Europe with hubs in Italy (Milan), UK (London). France (Paris) and Spain (Madrid). The cities mentioned are the major financial capitals in Europe. Then it spreads to the US via New York. Italy's numbers exploded as it spread internally and more recently Spain, France and UK seem to be on the same track as Italy but 10-14 days behind. The US is another 10-14 days behind Europe and by sheer size it will take longer to spread country-wide. The West coast probably received a "glancing blow" due to travel from China mainly going to NY entering LA, SF and Seattle as transit stops not integration within the communities. Washington and California could get a second wave Late April.
The Federal government needs to set nationwide and MUCH MORE STRICT standards and order a universal stay-at-home policy else we will see 5,000+ daily deaths before May 1.
Sobering thought, if you exclude the US and instead treat each state as a country NY would be #3 in the world.
STAY HOME, STAY SAFE, SANITIZE
The above is my post April 2nd (page 35 of the original thread for those that feel the need to check 😂).
I obviously greatly underestimated the impact of the geographic size of the US but I still believe that the spread we are seeing today is a result of spread from Europe into the NE. Obviously with the spread being slower than predicted the 5k per day is hopefully not going to occur. This is due to staggered peaks vs overlapping peaks.
FWIW I failed to recognize that the population density in Europe is 3.5 times that of the US making their spread being much more rapid than here.
I was so tempted to DV this comment just for gits and shiggles.
The fellow who produces the charts I've shared as an fyi in the past has decided to take his talents to
South BeachYoutube. Since they can be found on their own now, I wont link them anymore.California is the proof that opening early didn’t matter.
That was actually sort of what I was alluding to this afternoon. They were praised for their quickly locking down, were one of the strictest states in the US with the lockdown, didn't see many cases in the spring, and it was thought that maybe they actually somehow had immunity and didn't know it given where they're at.
They loosened for about a month, and boom, they're getting hammered with cases. Now don't get me wrong, I won't be sarcastic here, it's very concerning that they might be quickly heading down Italy/NYC way, but their strict lockdown postponed instead of cancelled it most likely.
There has been some non-compliance I'm sure, but given the views of that state (this is not meant to take it that way), I have to think that this is people being diligent and taking precautions...and it winding up not mattering.
Heck, Freddie is an example of the above. He apparently barely left his house for months and still got the virus.
I certainly hope we do not live in a country where the Federal Govt has the power to restrict the population in the manner you suggest. States Rights are essential.
We do; however, live in a country where anyone who wishes to see restrictions of this mature can readily implement any such restrictions on themselves. Anyone who believes staying home prevents people from getting sick should stay home.
In the City of Atlanta, there have been about the same number of murders as covid deaths under the age of 50 since July 1st.
Good read on why California is seeing more cases
My belief is that this is now all inevitable. We have been told the truth one time, and that was when we shut down the first time and were told we could only slow the number of infections, not prevent them.
I’m tired of the bar being moved.
Sounds like the same issues just about every state has faced, outside of the border crossings. In which the link in that story says it’s been 500 border cases in 5 weeks. I don’t think the border crossings are moving the needle much when there’s been around 200k cases in CA during the same timeframe.
Some here just can't help themselves.
I'm tired of the bar being moved......but more tired of the bar being closed.
Come here then. All the bars are open. Oh wait. No airline willing to fly in or out. Wonder why that is?
I can take a boat.
