And healthcare providers continue to be very concerned.
Are you mad that the media is talking about Covid-19? I don't even know what your point is. Last edited by SupDock; 03-11-2020 at 05:49 PM.. |

If a white man, even with Nazi beliefs walks into a church, shopping center and murders many people, most just accept that as life in 2020. Nothing changes. Yet, if that white person was instead a Muslim and a member of ISIS, holy hell and panic would be unleashed. Same gun. Same number of people dead. One thing is different. Yes, this is a virus, not unlike others. But, it’s not the same is it? |

I was just giving an illustration/example on how things are viewed differently with one different part. I think it was a great example. Nothing political about it at all. It’s just a fact. You can’t yell and ban me for partisan BS on simple facts. A violent act or murder is viewed differently if it’s a terroist. That’s a partisan take? GTFO.

Not mine:
Let's do some math. There are 331 million people in the U.S. The best infectious disease modeling epidemiologists in the world predict that 20%--60% of the population will become infected. Let's start low end and go with 20% infected. That puts us at 66,200,000 infected. Of that number, approximately 20% will need to be hospitalized. That's 13,240,000 who will need hospital beds. They won't ask get sick at the same time, but they will be in the hospital for 3--4 weeks. Per the American Hospital Association, we have ~950,000 hospital beds in the U. S. And they're 70%--90% full when it's not flu season. So, best case scenario, we have 300,000 hospital beds for 13 million people. Out of the 20% that need to be hospitalized, 20% of them will need ICU care. That's 2,648,000 people. We have ~100,000 ICU beds and they're 90+% full. |

Can a mod just merge all the coronavirus threads into one giant Coronavirus Mega-Trainwreck of Dumbassery and Dipshittery thread? There is literally no difference in any of them.

Jesus this thread went off the rails.
Pretty happy with Colorado’s response so far. It’s been here a while (people kept getting it at ski resorts here though no one was diagnosed) but we got our first drive thru clinic up and running in Denver today. |
