    we've saved hundreds of thousands of lives already.

    Now we just want to keep the the curve just under the level at which our hospitals and supplies get over run.

    achieve herd immunity as quick as possible and rip the band aid off.

    adapt our lives, but get back to work.

    Galt is still in the first inning.

    We have moved onto the top of the fifth and praying that stupid bottom of the fifth comeback doesn't happen.

    Liberals want to stay closed until there are ZERO cases. Good luck with that.

    We haven't had a curve yet in California, we shutdown quick. Ours is coming.

    Now if we could just cleave off San Francisco we might be safe from mass infections...lol.

    1st inning. Until a vaccine is manufactured you are nowhere close to finishing the game.

    Humanity has never successfully created a coronavirus vaccine. And this is already shown to have mutated.

    There will be no reliable vaccine.

    But there might be treatments with supportive care.

    Nope, still in the 2nd just like I said on the 22nd as seen in the Poll at the top of the page.

    The only way we are in the top of the 5th is if this thing is going to be completely gone in 3 months or so. Not going to happen. Most of this is simple Math folks. It's not that difficult to figure out that it's not going to be good.

    Prediction... 18 months from now people will look back on all of the "optimistic" predictions and wonder how everyone could have been so naively foolish. If April is the worst month we have we can consider ourselves extremely lucky.

    I'm not a Liberal btw, in case you were referring to me.

    Nope 5th. This thing started in November last year. I'm glad you went to the second inning at least. Some people are still stuck in the first inning. It's clear the virus has a hold phase and then decline. That has been seen in the world. No one with a brain thinks it is good and we have seen many on here have no brain.

    Hasn't the death toll in New York gone down dramatically? I understand that's bad news for some as they want to stay closed until the are no cases.

    I NEVER referred to you as a liberal but you saying you aren't makes you sound like you are.

    Unfortunately, you might be right.

    I think they are going to make us wear an antibody test card around our necks.

    They are already requiring a "real ID card" soon, with a yellow star on it.

    It's like a science fiction movie. Think Gattica.

    I think California is still warming up. We're still waiting for some chick to throw the opening pitch...



    I'm sure at one point in California's game this will happen....

    We're in the second inning and right now the score is Coronavirus 18, United States 1. Our manager has quit; he's more concerned about how much business there is at the concession stands, even though there's no one in the stands to buy anything.

    Looks about right.

    Do you think it's too early for the U.S. to declare victory?

    Top of the 9th, 2 outs.

    At 2:40 see the American public when they realize they've been duped.

    At 2:58 see the American public call bullshit when they realize they've received cookie crumbs compared to the "bailout" money doled out to corporations that the political parasites have deemed too big to fail.

    Great post!!!! ROFL. Out of curiosity, how did the US score their one run?? Seems like the US batters are using bats with holes in them or bats the size of fat pencils. No chance.

    UPDATE

    Dr. Michael Osterholm is handicapping Covid-19 better than anyone I've seen. So far he's been right on everything that I am aware of. He was just on TV and he said that we are either in the 3rd or 4th inning now. Anyone disagree?

    What are the rules for bringing in a reliever mid inning?

    Disagree. Game over. Coronavirus wins 42-0. Game called in the bottom of the third. Became a beer league softball game after 1st inning.

    If Trump is pitching and we are in the bottom of the 3rd how many runs has he allowed so far?

    It looks like Biden may come in as a reliever before the 7th... when it comes to Covid-19... do you think he will allow more runs than Trump?

    3rd inning through July.
    4-5th August-September
    6th October
    7th-8th November-December
    9th January-February: One of those long innings that make your nervous with multiple guys on base while you go through every possible pitch in your head.
