Explain what?

Why you're illiterate? I'm assuming you tried to read all the posts in the last two pages yet failed to understand them. That's why I think you're illiterate

If you need me to sum up the last two pages minus your flailings it's this:

Nobody here thinks that 150,000,000 people will be infected. You think we think that which is very telling and a good example of the Dunning-Krueger effect in action.

Since Red posted the tweet, who knows what he thought about it since he posted the tweet by itself. Just because somebody posts a tweet doesn't mean they agree with it. However, he's since explained in multiple posts what he thinks about the tweet. I promise you that since Red is a smart dude and understands bAsiC MAtH that he also knew that the tweet contained an unlikely claim.

So you're agreeing with me that 150,000,000 people are not going to get sick?
 
Everything is shutting down in NJ.

My gym closed down, my basketball league. My job told me to start working from home effective immediately

Picked up a PS4...

So according to where I'm looking China had/has about 82,000 confirmed cases and it's starting to fall. America will have 1829 TIMES more cases because @Safetydan said so.

Absolutely brilliant.

Safety Dan said so or a high ranking doctor said so?

Still waiting for the other jazz players to get diagnosed making it 50%. That's what the doctor said so it's sure to happen.
 
I started my office self-quarantine today as I'm the most likely one in the office to have serious complications. I'm not going to allow anyone into my office. They can contact me by email and phone. Fortunately I have a job where it isn't necessary to see people face-to-face.

I'm also wearing disposable gloves when I venture out of my office to go to the restroom or get water from the breakroom. I figure the least amount of common surfaces I touch, the better off I'll be.

I am feeling a bit lonely already.

I'm sorry, don't despise yourself.

irony and humor compete for what little validation I care to dish out.

self-deprecating humor is my point of pride, if any. I reserve the right to despise myself equally with everyone else.

I am a recovering addict of authoritarianism, I know. Probably it shows in everything I write, which most people rightly reject as way too condescending, too imperiously commanding, and in innumerable other ways obviously offensive to ordinary self-directing human beings who have absolutely no need for my services, opinions, directives, or observations whatsoever.

My most hearty respect goes to those who read what I write, and respond somehow showing my complete imbecility. It is a palliative for my addiction, and I thank those who care to help out in that way.

Do the same at home. I think the highway management authorities should void the HOV lanes and allow free use to anyone, to further reduce unnecessary space-sharing practices and close contac events. It would save, obviously thousands of lives......
 


Donald didn’t want aggressive testing because he feared higher numbers of sick people. He feared the effect of what those higher numbers might have on his re-election.

this guy deserves everything that’s coming

you should start a chat thread here for the self quarantined
 
So with all the public health measures being taken, I have to revise my projections for the course of the CoViD-19 2020 event in the USA.

Of course, Iran is still going to be savaged by the outbreak, as well as North Kores, and while the subtropics and tropics have very little in the way of health care competency or materials for the flu/Coronavirus sort of thing, the heat helps, as does the sun. Europe is already "gone viral" and will have a serious event. Russia could stop it with public health measures like ours.

I compare CoViD-19 with H1N1 of 2009. T previous thought c20 would be worse, generating maybe 20,000 deaths in the USA. But all the public health measures will flatten the incidence curve, and make it possible to treat serious cases better, and will also mean not everyone will be exposed this year. It might mean more cases next year when the flu/congestion season revives though.

As it looks to me now, the less-serious track for younger folks, under 30 maybe even under 60, is likely due to some residual immunity in those populations from H1N1 and other Corona virus exposures, vaccinations, etc due to "crossover immunity" thanks to some shared common surface antigens between viral species. Therefore, I suggest that folks go out and get what vacinations are available in the genre. Small expense, possible large benefits.

If anyone in authority would listen to me regarding the installation of uv lights over heavy traffic areas or common-use areas like bathrooms, and implement other air-detoxifying resources like light ozone or chlorine or other oxidizing vapors, and install such things in care centers.... or if oldsters would install such measures at home, in their bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, it'd save lives as well.

As things look now, I am hopeful the c20 event will top out in June, and be over in August, with a wimpish reboot in November-December, totally only about 5000 US deaths, 90% over 60 years old.

Worldwide, maybe 100,000 in China, if you can believe anything they tell us. One of Xi's concentration camps could do that and more.....

It could be a million or more world-wide.

And I think Trump will be strutting his stuff come election time, and the DumpTrumpsters will not be talking about it at all.

I said it would be "well-managed". I have become aware of the planning that has gone on for over two decades for gov response to such a crisis. I said it wouldn't have mattered if Hillary were Pres, or Biden, or Rosa Parks for that matter. All Trump is doing is playing talking head for the bureaucrat experts following the damn plan. And those folks don't listen to me at all.

So the entire value of my pontifications in JFC would be in case anyone in here listened and applied any of the personal protection, space sanitizing ideas I've posted.....

Sheer nonsense.

Trump's way involves a divergence of public disclosures and actual action. No doubt he was doing everything the experts wanted done or thought might help. He might have even figured to let the DumpTrumpster bots help out with their panic criticism, a sort of good cop/bad cop act, knowing public awareness is essential, but panic isn't, really, the way to do it. And why bother when some are volunteering all the Panic needed....

Pretty sure testing kits and sanitation resources are in his plans, just not up enough now due to the massive public responses for these resources. So, still rationing testing for the folks who need it most.

When the obvious sanitizer stuff is not on the shelves, I am still seeing big soap resources. Soap is as good as anything we have......or could wish for.....

Wash your hands, mop your floors, wash your walls, your bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Do laundry more frequently.

Read that. It makes me wonder if China unleashed this knowing it would hit us. Knowing they would immediately be extreme with their quarantines but that it would spread and reach us. Knowing that we are dependent on their kits. And that we are so dependent on their pharmaceuticals. And that we would be up ****’s creek without them. And that Trump wouldn’t know what the **** to do. All as a result of his tariffs.
