My vote would be DC, but either way - I'm out. I can't do the speculation, worst case scenarios, best case scenarios, death toll, mortality rate, death rate, ventilators in reserve, hospitals being overwhelmed, etc, etc, etc, anymore. I'm going to drive myself into a mental breakdown.
I don't know who to believe in the media when it comes to reporting facts, and that scares me. I remember not that long ago that I believed things I heard on the radio or TV. I got my panties in a bunch because I believed a bunch of hype about Tyreek Hill abusing his son. I felt like such an ass for jumping to a conclusion before having all the facts. I'm not claiming that all media is bad - or have some sort of agenda, but I truly don't know who to trust. I'll pay attention to my local news, maybe listen to reports by the CDC and WHO, but that's it. I hope you all stay healthy and well, and I hope your family and friends do the same. See you in other less chaotic threads. |

New projection just for US cases - using the same method. I'm not sure if 88k overwhelms the hospital system. But our % of cases that need hospitalization must be really high since we're barely testing anyone. |

on Sirius, they have a free channel set up that's just about the virus. I've listened to it some over the past couple of days, it seems to be an hour or so loop, but they have been updating it with new content every now and then:
https://blog.siriusxm.com/doctor-rad...EW_Coronavirus (scroll down and click the "click here to listen now" button) On my radio it's channel 121, but I think that differs by the car. These are actual doctors talking about the virus, and it's not political or fear-mongering, but realistic factual information. Worth a listen if you're concerned. |

We have had 3 1 off direct exposures in the last 24 hours here at the US Wuhan virus epicenter. Truth is there is a good chance we will be the first at CP to be exposed and I still couldn’t give a rats ass. Take care is your health and get on with your life.

I’ve posted more scientific facts about the virus in this thread more than anyone. It’s not my fault your thin skin is triggered by a fact.

So...predicting a much more explosive outbreak than China, a nation with over a billion people in it. Gonna bet the under.

You've definitely been oblivious for decades if you think I want to be shielded from political content. I've been against ghetto sequestration of certain forms of discourse here since the place began. My point of contention isn't about you posting whatever you want, it's about the mods pretending that they have a 'no tolerance, stop the bullshit or heads will roll, really, we're really tired of it' policy about 'political content' in the lounge, . . . when what they're actually tired of is the squeaky wheels that bitch about 'certain' political content, which makes them convene and make mod decisions. |
