This may come as a surprise to you, but the Battle of Gettysburg lasted 3 days.

Ah right, I meant over the course of every three to four days. Three to four days taken as a whole would have read better in my post

I'm sure sudden deaths have plateaued, which will lead idiots into thinking "it's over" and everyone becomes infected and we learn long term this destroys your genitals and kidneys and eyes and everyone envies the dead.

yeah anywhere with large-ish numbers of cases but low fatalities is very likely cooking the books. NY is probably the least dubious baseline and even NY is undercounting a lot, intentionally or no. NY is reporting a CFR of around 7.5%, really any states very much below that are probably hiding bodies.

The environment has improved significantly in just a couple months of lockdowns, and this thing isn't going away for several YEARS.

The most marginalized of capitlistic society are disproportionately the 'essential' workers that are barely keeping society functioning. A few more months and we'll run out of these people, forcing significant social support improvements or a total collapse of society.

The worst parts of current society are significantly most at risk of infection and death, and most prone to ignoring warnings and spreading the disease.


It is actually very, very good.
