I pray this trend continues for a few days and we capitulate on this mass hysteria.

- Although mitigating the spread is imperative, the death rate will drop below 1% in 30-60 days. conorlarkin 7:15pm · 3/20/20
- it's insanity. We're going to destroy the lives of hundreds of millions of people for a small % of WestCoastIrishFan 6:30pm · 3/20/20
  - Curly Q and you know more than all of the experts right? . Frank L 6:43pm · 3/20/20
    - Lets wager! I say we never top 4000 deaths. That would be about a tenth of our auto fatalities. Curly1918 7:40pm · 3/20/20
      - I would take that wager except I don’t bet on people dying.NT Frank L 9:38pm · 3/20/20
      - lower even than the deaths in chicagoNT WestCoastIrishFan 7:41pm · 3/20/20
    - I am just looking at the stats. many more recovering from the virus than dying.NT WestCoastIrishFan 6:49pm · 3/20/20
      - Of course they are which is good. It has a 1% mortality rate. Frank L 6:53pm · 3/20/20
        
        here’s part of the non-essential stuff you said no one needs.NTLink WestCoastIrishFan 7:38pm · 3/20/20
        
        I never said anything was needed or not. I said I would listen to the medical experts not to morons Frank L 9:40pm · 3/20/20
        
        actually, you were laughing at the things others felt were essentialNT WestCoastIrishFan 10:30pm · 3/20/20
        
        What things might those be?NT Frank L 10:55pm · 3/20/20
  - You’re being a bit over-the-top Chris94 6:40pm · 3/20/20
    - i have co workers who already are changing their retirement plans. the market WestCoastIrishFan 6:47pm · 3/20/20
      - OK. But that’s not destroying the lives of hundreds of millions.NT Chris94 7:43pm · 3/20/20
        
        go back to your cozy office at Tulane. you have no understanding how this is hurting WestCoastIrishFan 7:45pm · 3/20/20
        
        Get pissy all you want. It’s not (yet) destroying 100s of mills of lives. You’re wrong.NT Chris94 8:28pm · 3/20/20
        
        and what is destroying in your mind?NT WestCoastIrishFan 10:31pm · 3/20/20
      - Oh please bo peep, it’s nowhere near as bad as 08 and that bounced back fineNT Frank L 6:58pm · 3/20/20
        
        I can live with another '08 recovery. i am praying for capitulation in a week or so. Curly1918 8:00pm · 3/20/20
        
        Not going to change until the peak in about 30 days.NT Frank L 9:59pm · 3/20/20
        
        It’s not the politicians curls. It’s the NIH and CDC medical experts. Frank L 9:42pm · 3/20/20
        
        08 took a decade to recover.NT WestCoastIrishFan 7:39pm · 3/20/20
    - But hundreds of thousands of deaths could have occurred without social distancing. Frank L 6:46pm · 3/20/20
      - Social distancing is appropriate... but so is acceptance of our mortality. Curly1918 7:47pm · 3/20/20
        
        The only thing we are hysterical about is making sure the system isn’t overwhelmed. Frank L 10:01pm · 3/20/20
- How are hospitalizations looking? Frank L 6:03pm · 3/20/20
- You are contributing to the hysteriaNT eftg1 4:54pm · 3/20/20
  - Can't imagine how. My intent is exactly the opposite.NT Curly1918 5:08pm · 3/20/20
    - You reference the NYTimes,Marshall law?encourage people to boost immune system,healthy lifestylesNT eftg1 5:22pm · 3/20/20
      - My point is that this COVID 19 is no reason for hysteria... which could lead to Marshall law. Curly1918 5:33pm · 3/20/20
        
        I hear what you are saying,we don’t know the full extent thoughNT eftg1 1:28pm · 3/21/20
