People still don’t get it.  At all.  See the football thread.  It’s asinine to think football MAY not be back?  I mean history repeating itself blah blah blah.  We have no fucking treatment or vaccine.  This has 1919 written all over it.  Hope I’m wrong but to not even consider reality is doing everyone a disservice.  These are the people out and about like nothing is going on.  It’s going to prolong the damn quarantine and cost lives.  Those are facts.  
 

Edit:  I know this is shocking but a LOT if these imbeciles are trumptards.

He would probably come up with a peanut atom based cure.

The American flag in Hoodlum's sig reminded me of something.  A couple of months ago I took my kids to a big tournament in the sport they play.  Every year there's a guy selling custom sweatshirts.  You can get you name printed on them and all that.  And the American flag.  I thought about getting the upside down flag -- the signal of distress -- on mine.  I thought, this will always remind me of 2020 . . .  Should have done it.

A nationwide month lockdown combined with robust testing a month ago would have saved thousands of lives and put us in a better position to get out of this.  

However, since we have a sociopathic imbecile with zero credibility, him pulling off a successful nationwide lockdown would have been far fetched a month ago. The lesson of this story is to not put ignorant/incompetent dumb fucks, that have lies measured in the thousands, in charge of national security.

We haven't been able to drive inflation in decades.  Money supply apparently doesn't matter one bit.

You need to look more at the bright side of things. There’s a very good chance at least one of those assholes has it but doesn’t know it yet. 

Frankly I can’t wait for trump to start holding his hate rallies again, while he once again proclaims the virus to be a democratic hoax.

Our testing numbers in Alabama SUCK!

Dashboard with latest stats -









So, using my very shitty math skills - and please correct any screw ups, I’m no mathematician!

Alabama’s population is



.097% of citizens have been tested.

13.4% of those tested are positive.

Extrapolating that positive percentage to the population as a whole gives us an idea but it’s obviously not a great comparison given the variables (our current positive rate should be mitigated somewhat if the current tests have only been done on a more at risk set of patients).

But let’s take a range of 6.7% (half the current rate) to the current infection rate of 13.4%.

Gives us a range of anywhere from 328,877 to 657,755 possible infections for the state.

Current deaths at 4 (one was just announced and isn’t on the dashboard yet).

Of 639 infected with 4 deaths that’s a death percentage of .63%.

Obviously, that death rate should decline if current testing is only done for the sickest patients.

Extrapolating that death rate for estimated infections-

Low end estimate of 328,877 infections calculated for low end .31% death rate - 1,020 deaths.

Low end of 328,877 infections calculated for .63% high end death rate - 2,072 deaths.

High end estimate of 328,877 infections calculated for low end .31% death rate - 2,039 deaths.

High end estimate of 657,755 infections calculated for high end .63% death rate - 4,144 deaths.

So Alabama is possibly looking at a deaths numbering anywhere from 1,020 to 4,144 deaths if the current numbers stay as they are.

Alabama has approximately 1,300 ventilators but experts say only around 800 are available.

So here’s where the available vents stack up against the estimated death rates (reports suggest most deaths are patients who required vents during their treatment).

Low end - 1,020 would leave the state 220 ventilators short.

High end - 4,144 would leave the state 3,344 ventilators short.

Our testing rate is woefully inadequate.

[Snake Diggity 4707]

I firmly believe that with the right leadership we would be entering the tail end of this crisis having suffered only a fraction of the economic damage and lost lives.  Had Trump recognized back in Nov-Dec-Jan what was coming and acted decisively (gradually shut down all international travel over Jan-Feb, immediately gotten started provisioning PPE/tests/treatments/vaccines, nationwide shelter-in-place during all of March), the US would have <50,000 total cases, and there would be almost no risk of overwhelming the healthcare system.  We really would be looking at Easter as a realistic time to reopen the country.

I don’t know what previous presidents would have done.  I don’t know if they would have had better information to work with or if they’d have acted more decisively.  But it’s almost impossible to imagine anyone handling this in a more divisive, dishonest, and confusing way.

That doesn't make you an asshole. It makes you a stupid cunt.

You know what rural hospitals do with people who are really sick? They send them to the city hospitals.

 

Rural areas are a lot less prepared for this than NYC.
