Deaths are only creeping up even as positive tests are climbing!
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.
We will quickly scramble to find several treatment protocols that will not cure the virus, but will ameliorate its impact on the body.
And, as testing ramps up, the # of folks proven to be infected will skyrocket, yet almost of them will exhibit negligible to mild symptoms.
it's insanity. We're going to destroy the lives of hundreds of millions of people for a small % of
the population who wouldn't even get sick if people were just smart.
Curly Q and you know more than all of the experts right? .
Where is your degree in epidemiology from?
Lets wager! I say we never top 4000 deaths. That would be about a tenth of our auto fatalities.
If I'm wrong by half we were hysterical.
I would take that wager except I don’t bet on people dying.

lower even than the deaths in chicago

I am just looking at the stats. many more recovering from the virus than dying.

Of course they are which is good. It has a 1% mortality rate.
But without restrictions, how many would have been infected and died? How many are acceptable so that your lifestyle and portfolio are unaffected?
here’s part of the non-essential stuff you said no one needs.
I never said anything was needed or not. I said I would listen to the medical experts not to morons
like you.
actually, you were laughing at the things others felt were essential

What things might those be?

You’re being a bit over-the-top
The markets will bounce back, and the economy will recover.
“Hundreds of millions of lives” are not going to be ruined.
i have co workers who already are changing their retirement plans. the market
will come back but it will take years to get back where it is. like after 9/11, things will never be quite the same after this.
OK. But that’s not destroying the lives of hundreds of millions.

go back to your cozy office at Tulane. you have no understanding how this is hurting
people. it’s a philosophical debate you can have in your future classes...how many lives saved for how much pain.
Get pissy all you want. It’s not (yet) destroying 100s of mills of lives. You’re wrong.

and what is destroying in your mind?

Oh please bo peep, it’s nowhere near as bad as 08 and that bounced back fine

I can live with another '08 recovery. i am praying for capitulation in a week or so.
We need to see the real death rate. Then people will tell the politicians to stop all their hysterical nonsense.
Not going to change until the peak in about 30 days.

It’s not the politicians curls. It’s the NIH and CDC medical experts.
But of course you and that moron from Cali know better.
08 took a decade to recover.

But hundreds of thousands of deaths could have occurred without social distancing.
Both China and S Korea took extreme steps to avoid it. We won’t do close to the severity of what they enforced in China to stop this.
Social distancing is appropriate... but so is acceptance of our mortality.
We are hysterical because we are in denial of this simple fact of life, especially for the elderly and the compromised. It happens every single day.
The only thing we are hysterical about is making sure the system isn’t overwhelmed.
Otherwise this thing will run its course in about 30 days and we will be backed off the restrictions.
How are hospitalizations looking?
That’s the important driver here.
You are contributing to the hysteria

Can't imagine how. My intent is exactly the opposite.

You reference the NYTimes,Marshall law?encourage people to boost immune system,healthy lifestyles

My point is that this COVID 19 is no reason for hysteria... which could lead to Marshall law.
Not to worry. I sense that the worm is already turning and that we will not run over the cliff together.
I hear what you are saying,we don’t know the full extent though
