North America will be the epicenter within 7 days

[Mike Huntertz]

The rate of increase is what to look for.
2 weeks ago 10 cases a day
1 week ago 100 cases a day
Yesterday 1000 cases a day

That is called an exponential growth rate.
As you can see the worst is yet to come and it WILL be terrible.

It blew up and peaked in Wuhan then dropped off.. Same with Italy.. Seems like that could happen here.. South Korea seems to be dealing with it the best though.. We'll see???

Some states will be okay. Some will get obliterated

If you haven't closes bars and restaurants and any other large gatherings you are screwed.

[Believe_EMT]

this thread will be proven wrong. and thinning of the herd shouldn't always be considered a bad thing.

hundreds or thousands walking around with minimal to no symptoms that we will never know about. majority of cases being counted are naturally the ones seeking medical care, meaning we will never know how many people were actually infected. way more infected than being reported.

to wit, the mortality rate when all is said and done will be at or under 1%. that don't sound too bad.

With the curfews now implemented I compare this to martial law.
In a sense it is martial law just the government won't call it that.

`

Is the military involved?

National Guard in some cities.
Military could get involved if there’s a wide spread quarantine mandate and the undesirable criminal element starts looting stores the military could get involved.

[PAULYPOKER]

^I could see it that way..

Laker I can’t say a good call yet we got a wait six weeks

[asiagambler]

If this is so easily transmissible, then why didn't the entire Jazz and Pistons teams get infected?

Only Mitchell and Wood got infected by Gobert

I'm beginning to have doubts it's gonna infect 50%+ of the world population as some projections say

[Mike Huntertz]

I hope you're right. These are athletes, the fittest people on the planet. The best food, training medical care etc..
In short a strong immune system. Wait until this starts ripping through Africa.

One positive thing that I've read was no small children(10 and under) have died from this yet.

Even if they have strong immune systems, I don't think that excludes you from catching the virus, just that you will fight it off with minimal symptoms. They can still catch it and should test positive for it and don't think anyone is clearing it within a few days

Right.

Not sure why you are talking? . Go out be single and mingle except you will proly become a carrier and proly kill your granny.

Yup kids have different immune systems and the virus wants nothing to do with that..

The entire US population could die off without putting a dent in world population.......

US dying off = 4.25% of the total world population............

I know.. I know all about poor Countries over populating.

Look at India, Africa and well China also but Asians LOVE to have babies, something in their minds since the crib say have kids....

My thoughts exactly! How much closer proximity can you get than a team that travels together, games, lockerroom? I've heard 70-80% might get it. C'mon...

Some health official has claimed that an estimated 100,000 people in Ohio have the virus. Now if this is true, then based on the mortality rate of 3%, there should be at least 3,000 people dead from it in Ohio in the next week or so.

So - just for the record - we're keeping an eye out for 3,000 dead in Ohio over the next 5 days.

“My firm conviction is that if wide-spread Eugenic reforms are not adopted during the next hundred years or so, our Western Civilization is inevitably destined to such a slow and gradual decay as that which has been experienced in the past by every great ancient civilization.

The size and the importance of the United States throws on you a special responsibility in your endeavours to safeguard the future of our race.

Those who are attending your Congress will be aiding in this endeavour, and though you will gain no thanks from your own generation, posterity will, I believe, learn to realize the great dept it owes to all the workers in this field.”
― Leonard Darwin

“The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”

“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

“Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries”.

“World population needs to be decreased by 50%”.

“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac,” and “The elderly are useless eaters”.

Take care Shocka. Take care of yourself.

Now, go wash your hands.

The American way of doing business is not sustainable. People love to invoke the future of America, but what future as the economic plan is so very unrealistic? The government cannot continue down the current path. It don't seem to me that the future of America is at the heart of anything really. Our culture is mostly ,all about me, what's in it for me...The entitlement payouts are nutz and millions are gaining the system because the mentality is i deserve it when they don't.

There are solutions, but not pretty ones and people will have to suffer greatly to keep the American greatness. Who suffers and when?

Decisions have to be made if the future of America really means anything.

Sometimes I miss them a lot of posts to sift through, even worse when you have to sift through Big Bears posts.

^I know,

Because I told him he was full of shit...

America approaching 10000 cases. This thing is blowing up.

it's not going to BLOW UP... that's the reason school, sports, lots of businesses, etc are closed and everyone is being told to practice social distancing

it's going to grow at a rather slow and methodical rate... then hit it's peak and start to decline and then everything will start to get back to normal

[jjgold]

1 person dead PA

maybe 500 cases

It has already blown up. Your lack of testing was keeping numbers low.

As for those talking about death that takes two weeks to get higher. You rarely die right off the bat.

[Mike Huntertz]

IMHO: Your handle fits.
I hope you're right but the numbers don't fit your conclusions.
California expects 25 million infected in 4-8 weeks, that from the governor. He is expected to STOP hysteria.
Stay safe!
