On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


It is really funny though that Trump is so easy to manipulate that Democrats could just tell him what a big strong boy he is and has he lost weight? And get every single progressive priority passed but you know controlled opposition.

you cant get treated unless you are suffering from covid. if you are having problems and also happen to have covid, you may just be having problems with covid rather than from it. who knows, maybe even that difficultly breathing you are having is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the covid19 coursing through your veins! that would be a fun thing to try to disprove.

DC models estimate up to 93,000 infections; more than 1,000 deaths

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the District is preparing for up to 93,000 people to be infected with the coronavirus throughout the course of the pandemic and that the number of people who are hospitalized with serious illness won’t peak until the summer. That figure is based on a model of infections that District planners are using.

See the District’s modeling here

The number of estimated infections is cumulative and most people infected with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, are expected to recover, Bowser said.

However, under the most “severe” estimates, more than 1,000 District residents could die, Bowser said. A “mild” number of deaths is 225 and a “moderate” number is 440.

The population the District is about 706,000.

The CHIME model, which D.C. is using to project coronavirus infections, predicts the peak in hospitalizations won’t come until late June or early July, Bowser said.

Bowser said another model the District had looked at — known as IMHE — may overestimate the benefits of social distancing.

Regarding the total number of COVID-19 infections, Bowser said: “This is a tough number to have to report but we think that we’d rather be on the side of underestimating the impacts of social distancing than presenting too rosy a picture.”

The CHIME model makes projections based on total infections and assumes some random mixing of infected people.

The models are only projections, officials said. Bowser said the District has chosen the model with which it can most comfortably prepare for the needs of the city’s residents. Bowser said she was more comfortable choosing a model that assumes people do not follow all of the government’s suggestions for social distancing perfectly.

About the model, Bowser said, “We pray it is wrong.”

this seems bad?

I'm seeing a lot of posts from goons speculating about the incredible revolution that is going to take place in the United States as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some are reasonable, and some are pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking.

I'm reposting what I genuinely believe will be the end outcome of all of this.

Note that other countries will likely see significant (and positive) change - New Zealand for one. But not the ultimate bastion of capitalism.

Thanks for your doom prediction/political defense mechanism, I believe we've had about a thousand pages of similar drivel so you'll fit in nicely

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
+1 unemployed goon. Fired by email. Thankfully the termination letter starts with "Because of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic" so I think I'll qualify for enhanced unemployment unless my lovely red state can find a way to gently caress me out of it.

It's weird, but I'm not even really that upset. On the scale of bad news that can come in this is relatively tame. Guess I'll just count my blessings and living relatives.

I'd imagine any kind of plan that Trump is talking about for government subsidized medical service at hospitals is exactly that - talk. Just like the drive-through testing in walmart parking lots and so many other things. He will just say that it is happening over and over (and maybe honestly believe that it is happening?), and it won't actually happen, but enough people will think that it is happening that it doesn't matter so he gets all of the credit without actually doing anything.

It's actually the most likely to happen because he doesn't have to do anything, and the state doesn't have to do anything, hospitals just bill the government

It seems like a total low-ball by a factor of maybe 25x. The mortality rate they picked was about 1%, and the total infected is 10%? And that's their worst case scenario?
