The winner has already been determined, to relitigate last month's contest would be to jeopardize all C-SPAM posters' belief in a just and fair system where results aren't overturned just because some people are unhappy with the them.

so what are we taking bets on now?

next major metro healthcare system to be overwhelmed?
first police department to have 50% infection rate?
date of the first death from a bad vaccine?
first state to reimplement lockdown?
whether this thread hits 20 pages by the end of the month?

I think everyone will get this poo poo. like I posted earlier my office had a worker with COVID and the office is still up and running and likely spreading it to patients that unknowingly come in for treatment. the city isn’t back tracking to see who this assistant was in contact with. we will all get this eventually. half rear end government response

How long will it take to develop a vaccine? 2 months
Will Trump die? No
Total American casualties from COVID: 125k dead
Total American casualties from pneumonia: 3.5 million dead
Total Trump admin casualties: 15 dead
Will the healthcare system become overwhelmed? No

Will Trump sacrifice Mar-a-Lago (gas/nuke it)? No
Will the California make a grab for independence? Yes
Will cops do anything silly like murder Black people? Yes
Will Trump activate the War Powers Act? Yes
How long will the coronavirus be endemic? ~15 years
Will the police brutality catalyze increased revolutionary activity in America?No
In the long run, will COVID be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those pneumonia casualties are- just because they're pneumonia doesn't make them COVID! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A grandma walking down the street to market gets a full viral load from someone screaming "Open R Up!"

2) A civilian quarantining in their house is infected when their house is targetting by a superpredator who breaks in and coughs on them.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being infefted- but since the virus doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3) A waitress working at a Chilis gets infected when their customer insists on singing the Baby Back Ribs song at full volume.

4) A mail room worker is infected when Betty in Admin insists the virus is a hoax and shows up to work coughing

5) A plumber repairing a septic tank is infected by a ... well best not to think too hard about that.

6) A computer toucher is killed when the facility he works at bans the use of masks.

7) A grocery store worker stocking snackiecakes to the public eats a full viral load when a customer in a Rascal refuses to socially distance.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of people directly spreading the virus that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted as trying to be infected than accidentally infected. I'm a doctor and work for the CDC, but I acknowledge I'm also intentionally spreading the virus because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of COVID casualties in this pandemic will not be accidental.
