So like 1/3rd of the deaths in the US are in NYC alone. Presumably it got started and was spreading in NYC weeks before anywhere else. So the high number of deaths there I'm guessing is just that city being further along the curve. Meanwhile the rest of the country is only just now catching up and getting to the point where it's nicely scattered throughout the general population, ready to explode everywhere if you give it half a chance, and they're opening everything up for business because it was all a Chinese hoax? Is that right?

Yep! The only real hope now is that we had a really bad read on it initially and it's been spreading like crazy to the point that most people have caught it and it just turns out the CFR is barely above influenza. There's nothing to support this hope, but it's the only one we've got.

All the stuff that needs to be in place to make re-opening work isn't there. Anywhere you can't just go and get a test because you want one is somewhere that it is not safe to reopen and those places are also the ones currently re-opening

Soon.


I honestly feel that Trump is, at least temporarily, and by temporarily that could mean literally like 36hrs or something, trying a toned down approach to his "OPEN UP!" rhetoric. For example in his response to that Mitchell guy, Trump said the U.S. did the right thing not to do what Sweden did. And here in this tweet he is refraining from calling the Gov of Michigan an out of control dictator stealing freedom from people, but instead is saying that they should "cut a deal"

This could mean he is actually freaking out about a prolonged outbreak across the U.S.

Not the first time it happened. Trump gets really loud and proud about an idea concerning COVID and then eventually dials down and will even flip around when doctors tell him 'Absolutely not and we got papers to explain why' long enough. He's a professional jam wriggler.

Guess how many cumulative deaths we have on worldometer's COVID-19 report for May 31st for the USA. The closest guess gets the satisfaction of being smarter than a bunch of idiot epidemiologists. If you are dead on May 31st, you may not redeem this prize. The guessing window closes at +07:00 GMT on May 2nd.
