I think you need to take a deep breath and go outside, and stop huffing this blackpill end of history nonsense

The end of history idea implied infinite captalist stasis, right? I'm not saying that at all, I'm saying that it can lurch along on a skeleton crew until it runs face first into a truly catastrophic event in a way it couldn't in Marx's day, or Lenin's, due to major changes in the technology of production.

Still, nobody knows how many Americans actually got infected. It’s probably somewhere between 1-5% of the population. So best case, you’re looking at ~ 1 million dead upon reaching herd immunity, worst case is 7+ million. :negative:
Based on that 5% number from Spain and official US numbers, the US is sitting at 4% infected, assuming similar health outcomes, with 100k locked in among the recent infected. You can scale both of those up according to however much you believe the US is underreporting (relative to Spain). You need insane amounts of underreporting for existing infected making any dent in the spread of the virus though.

I suppose the professions most vulnerable to infection will be overrepresented, which could act as a sort of firebreak that reduces the risk of a cluster spreading into another group, but it seems like that effect would be the most powerful if you have some sort of lockdown going on. If you just open up, all social groups will end up interfacing directly and you just get like a 10% reduction in R due to the people who've already been infected. (assuming major underreporting here)

This reminds me about how my powerlifting gym made a big post when they were allowed to re-open about how they were doing extra cleaning, enforcing distancing, etc and now, a week later posting a bunch of videos of people bunched together, sharing equipment, no masks, the normal yelling and shouting, etc. Literally no changes. I bet this gym is the same.

I am not going back to that gym even if this burns out quickly.

i wonder if corona will actually self-select to become less dangerous or if that feature of the flu becoming friendly isnt here thanks to the incredibly long lead time between infection and death during which you are a super spreader lmao

wasnt china just saying the new clusters were already selected to have an even longer incubation time lol

i'm not sure it'll become less deadly. it spreads extremely well with it's death rate, so it doesn't seem like the evolutionary pressure would be towards less deadly. i don't know anything about how viruses evolve, though, so maybe the changes needed to make it more effective at hacking into cells also makes it less deadly no matter what.

For context, Franklin is in Williamson County, which is part of the Nashville metropolitan area but not part of Nashville proper, which has a unified government with Davidson County. Williamson County is our richer neighbor to the southwest and one of the ten richest counties in the entire U.S. In the 2016 Republican primary, they were the only county in the state to go for Rubio

For some reason, Davidson County has moved up its re-opening schedule to allow live performances, but with only up to two people for some reason? They say that COVID-19 cases are going down when accounting for increased testing and I guess it's not like I'm an expert analyst so I wouldn't know whether they're accounting for that correctly

I testify that there is none worthy of worship except God and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
I just read through McMaster's "Guidelines for Reopening Athletic Fields and Resuming Youth Sports" (South Carolina) and it's a) stupid poo poo that isn't going to work and b) stupid poo poo nobody is going to do anyway. A sample:

quote:

Six-foot spacing markers should be used for all queuing areas or waiting lines in common areas (e.g., concessions, entrance gate, bathrooms, etc.).
•Establish designated warm-up areas for teams.
•Coaches should keep players in small groups at practice to allow for physical distancing.
•Coaches should ensure that players are adhering to social distancing in dugouts and other seating areas.
