COVID-19 MAY 2020 USA CUM DEATHS GUESSING GAME
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.

my official guess is 169,420 dead in the united states on May 31st

technically re opening won't cause a second peak, because the first peak never ended. which means the liberals were wrong, and we should O P E N ' E R UP

texas vs florida death match


look at the maps of urban density, the atlantic and gulf coastlines of florida are basically giant cities



this is texas



wow lucky thing for these high population areas in states that are opening back up tomorrow that coronavirus has disappeared like a miracle

mastershakeman posted:

I think worst case is basically that most states didn't really get it yet, so the 3 week clock to mass death doesn't start till Saturday. Weekend of big spread, then another big weekend of spread, but deaths don't seem bad when all the govs in states with may 15th orders give up and open up too since everything seems fine down south

Then kaboom, incubation periods in Georgia and Texas and Iowa end just before memorial day , deaths skyrocket but not in time for people everywhere to notice and cancel their party plans

Frankly the only hope for Chicago/Illinois is a lot of deaths early in those states and the media going full bore about it

we will continue at ~2k deaths per day until about 3 weeks from now when we will accelerate to somewhere between 2.8k-4k deaths per day which we will stay at until it starts to slow down about 10 days after every state locks down again but harder this time, unless we just stay open, which case it will accelerate until about 10k deaths per day

Live in Houston - here is to hoping heat and humidity inhibit the spread of the virus.

Prob doesn't help in A/C though so we're hosed.

it doesn't inhibit the spread of the virus so you can stop hoping for that right this very second if it'd help. continue pretending it does if that helps though.

it's insane that we closed when like 100,000 were sick for fear of spread and now that it's about a million sick we think its time to open, america is insane

it makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that our government is controlled by russian assets who are being used to cause as much death and economic destruction as is possible

it's only more than 20 times as many people died in 9/11, an event which we have monuments to and have constructed our entire society around for 20 years now. which is absolutely jack poo poo. who cares? 60k people? who gives a gently caress. we need haircuts

lmfao like americans care about your dead relatives when they can't get $9 draft coors lights at applebees. how loving selfish of you to expect them to care about that when they can't have dine in at a nice $15 a plate restaurant with their families who don't want to see them anywhere else

This metric doesn't work for states like ours who have never had more than 300 new cases in one day, except, you know, yesterday, of course. Which we can safely ignore, because it's the most recent figure, and therefore does not count

this guy looks a lot like a guy i know from my undergrad who gave a girl a research chemical and she died he wound up getting a bunch of community service after being charged with murder 2 and then less than two years later was marketing himself as a "life coach"

he has a little line tattoo of a fedora on his hand and calls himself 'hats' and tries to get other people to call him 'hats' (they don't)

wuhan was closed for 80 days, Americans just lack the self control and discipline to sacrifice for the greater good in any situation. Nobody's asking you to pick up a rifle and risk your life, people are asking you to stay home to save your life.

Not to mention the 2+ million people that the country keeps cloistered for all 4 seasons, sometimes for life behind bars. A shelter in place order is truly a human rights violation

no, human rights violations are fine if someone committed literally any crime of any kind at all whatsoever, if they didn't want to be brutally murdered or killed by a terrible disease inside our poorly maintained prisons with hellish conditions, they shouldn't have stolen a loaf of bread. just follow the law. it's that simple

If roni deaths drop off every weekend we could cure roni in no time by making every day a weekend.

i suspect their favorite thing about may 1st as a reopen date is that it was a friday so then daily deaths will appear to drop and people will continue becoming convinced that it's over, because americans really truly are that stupid


lol we have already lost more people than this. we are well above 100k, it's just lovely counting. but chuds are going around claiming the opposite, that they're overcounting.

it's ok, we will breeze past those numbers in literally one week anyway.

amazingly high new cases # considering the number of new deaths but I assume that's 100% just the weekend reporting lag which apparently only effects deaths and not new cases
